Explanation: When the North German Confederation was founded, the postal system was organised as a unified state transport authority with the simultaneous disappearance of the territorial postal institutions. Bremen received a federal post office. In 1871, postal sovereignty was transferred to the German Reich. In 1874, the Reichspostverwaltung appointed Bremen as the seat of an Oberpostdirektion, which became the medium Reichspostbehörde. In addition to the territory of Bremen, its area of responsibility included the part of the administrative district of Hanover on the left bank of the Weser, parts of the administrative district of Stade and the administrative district of Thedinghausen in Brunswick. Until the First World War she was also responsible for the postal services in German New Guinea, on the Caroline Islands, Mariana Islands, Palau and Marshall Islands and Samoa. From 1934-1945 the Oberpostdirektion was called Reichspostdirektion Bremen. In 1943 it also took over the district of the Oldenburg management, which had until then been independent, and which included the Weser-Ems district. The privatization of Deutsche Bundespost was initiated in 1989, and in 1990 it was separated into the postal service and telecommunications divisions at OPD. At the end of 1992, the Postal Directorate was divided into the Postal Service and Telecommunications Directorates. Since 1995 they have been part of Deutsche Post AG and Deutsche Telekom AG.

Since the registry office responsible for special cases in Germany and abroad - the so-called 'Standesamt I' - is still located in Berlin today, traditions from this office also reach the Landesarchiv. They have been grouped together in group 'S'. These traditions all refer to areas that are not part of Berlin. The largest part of this group is the stock S Rep. 100 with the still existing documents from the former German territories in the East - as far as these were taken to Germany and did not perish in the war. In addition, there are holdings of notarizations of Germans living abroad, namely as far as they were carried out in German consulates or embassies ('consular registers') or in the German colonies ('colonial registers'). There are also documents from the territories occupied by Germany during the Second World War (these are only deaths).Two large holdings contain the documents issued by the registry office I itself within the framework of its special jurisdiction.The S holdings also regularly receive supplements in accordance with the deadlines of the Civil Status Act, but only every five years.
