Description of holdings: Abt. 243 Gemeindearchiv Dalsheim Scope: 187 archive cartons and 3 linear metres oversized formats (= 1090 units of registration) = 24 linear metres (additional m. N) Duration: 1618 - 1973 Location: cellar of the Ernst-Ludwig-Schule Zum Bestand The first inventory of the municipal archive of approx. 1811 is only incompletely preserved; completely preserved inventories (which obviously refer more to the current registry and do not list many old pieces, although they often show a numbering) date from the years 1831, 1837 and 1843, perhaps in connection with a circular of the government in Mainz concerning the order of the municipal archives of 1830 (No. 177 and 466). In the year 1906 a number of mentioned archival records were used by the War Court Council of Obenauer for the purpose of writing their own family history in the Haus- und Staatsarchiv Darmstadt (No. 52). A letter dated 01.04.1914 refers to the production of the comprehensive index of 1914 (no. 208) by teacher Trieb von Eppelsheim, in which the return of the municipal archive, which was also lent to Darmstadt for this purpose, is announced (no. 946). After the dissolution of the administrative district of Worms (1969), the two communities, which had been merged in the same year under the name "Flörsheim-Dalsheim", held back the respective archives in contrast to the other communities, which handed over their documents to the municipal archive of Worms as a deposit. It was not until 1997, after lengthy negotiations and the conclusion of a deposit contract, that they were handed over to the Worms Municipal Archives, where they first found their place in the cellar of the Adenauerring office building and then in the cellar of the Ernst Ludwig School. Between September 2009 and August 2010, they were gradually brought back to the city archives for indexing and, after processing, returned to the Ernst-Ludwig-Schule. At the same time, the archives of the neighbouring municipality of Nieder-Flörsheim, which were taken over at the same time in 1997, were processed, the indexing of which was also completed in summer 2010 (Dept. 242). During the processing, which followed the usual principles, the material was separated from the beginnings up to 1945 on the one hand (Dept. 243) and from the period from 1945 up to the creation of the association municipality in 1969 on the other hand (Dept. 243-N). The former was arranged according to the existing order according to the 1908 registry plan, the latter according to the 1953 file plan in the Findbuch and listed separately as a sub-collection of Dept. 243-N. The former was not listed in the Findbuch. The condition of the material was good except for two pieces where slight mildew was found (No. 245/2 and No. 602, stored at the end of the collection in its own cardboard archives). There were no cassations.

Inventory description: Abt. 242 Gemeindearchiv Nieder-Flörsheim Scope: 162 archive boxes and 1 linear metre of oversized formats (= 763 units of description) = 21.5 linear metres (additional m. N) Duration: 1705 - 1945 Place of storage: Ernst-Ludwig-Schule Zur Ortsgeschichte The town of Nieder-Flörsheim was first documented in 768 in a deed of donation in the Lorscher Codex. "On 05.11.768 Gerolf and his brother Emino awarded their parents and their sister Seghelinda a farm ride, 10 days work of arable land and field suitable for planting a vineyard on it for the salvation of their souls. Mention of the vineyard proves that at that time the Franks were already engaged in viticulture and could dispose of their estates. The place used to be called Fletersheim, Flaridesheim, Ilersheim, Nieder-Flersheim. In addition to Lorsch, the Cyrikusstift Neuhausen also owned estates in Flörsheim. Nieder-Flörsheim belonged to the cathedral of Worms since the Middle Ages. In the 13th century Philipp von Falkenstein depressed the monastery and settled in the village. In 1349 the monastery took over the patronage of the Leiningen family and in 1400 it transferred half of the village to the Palatine Count Ruprecht III in ownership. The other half of the village and the bailiwick belong to the monastery of Neuhausen and when this monastery was abolished by Elector Frederick III in 1566, the other half of the village also came to the Palatinate. It was assigned to the Chief Alzey Office. In 1792 the southwest was again involved in the war, when French revolutionary armies occupied the left bank. Again it came to plunderings and tribute payments at money and Naturalien. The later Rheinhessen and the Kurpfalz formed the Donnersberg department, to which the 24 municipalities of Rheinhessen also belonged. Administrative reform and economic upturn in agriculture shaped people's lives. After Napoleon's defeat Nieder-Flörsheim came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. 1816 Canton Pfeddersheim, 1835 district Worms, 1848 administrative district Mainz, 1850 administrative district Worms, 1852 - 1969 district Worms (1946 Rhineland-Palatinate). As part of the administrative reform, the municipalities of Nieder-Flörsheim and Dalsheim were merged to form the new municipality of Flörsheim-Dalsheim in 1969. The parish had a parish church dedicated to St. John which was first mentioned in a document in 1234. During the Palatinate division of the church in 1705, the church fell to the Reformed. The Catholics set up an oratory in the town hall. It became a branch of the Catholic Church in Dalsheim. The Lutherans were awarded a parish in Dalsheim. In Nieder-Flörsheim there were two schools, the Reformed with the school building and the Catholic school. The Israelite community built a synagogue in 1817 (Untergasse 10), but sold it to the Häußer family in 1920. The population grew in 1811 to 596 inhabitants. The archival material in the municipality of Nieder-Flörsheim was attempted to be arranged as early as 1838. From the letter of the district council of the district Worms it appears that Mr. Völker from Wersau (Odenwald) had been commissioned to order the municipal registration of Nieder-Flörsheim (No. 0156, s. 13.03.1838). In 1914 the teacher A. Trieb compiled a file index of the municipal archive Nieder-Flörsheim (see Dept. 206 No. 99). After the dissolution of the administrative district of Worms (1969), the two combined municipalities of Nieder-Flörsheim and Dalsheim initially retained their archives in the town hall (in contrast to all other municipalities of the VG which had already deposited their documents in the town archive of Worms). Only after lengthy negotiations with the municipality in 1998 was the valuable archive material handed over to the municipal archive by the municipality of Flörsheim-Dalsheim together with the archives of Dalsheim after the conclusion of a deposit contract. The relatively undisturbed and rich archive material, especially the older ones, was stored in the cellar of the Ernst-Ludwig-Schule, in contrast to many neighbouring communities in both places. The indexing of both community archives began in autumn 2009. First of all, the documents had been prepared in 2008 according to the order of the 1908 registration plan; in 2009/10 the files were successively brought to the Raschi-Haus for processing and processed there. The duration of the project essentially begins in the first third of the 18th century and usually lasts until 1945. The forests of Nieder-Flörsheim are particularly worth mentioning. The Nieder-Flörsheimer forest served the community as a source of income. Numerous records of timber auctions and counts can be found in the documents of the municipal treasury bills. For reasons of data protection, 2 files were provided with a blocking note for use in accordance with the provisions of the Land Archives Act. After completion of the new indexing (Sept. 2009 - April 2010), the holdings comprise 759 units of description (10.7.2012: 763), which are stored in 162 archive boxes. The files are in good condition. No cassations were made. Because of the different file plans, a new section 242-N was created for the files of the municipality from 1945 to 1969 until their merger with Dalsheim, which is to be used in addition. For Dept. 242 and 243 there is still an extensive and still unseen collection of printed matter, laws and other grey literature in the holdings, which would require separation and indexing.

Inventory description: Abt. 5 - Stadtverwaltung Worms 1815-1945 Scope: 1160 archive cartons (= approx. 181 linear metres), in addition approx. 120 linear metres of bound documents for the account of the town, the municipal authorities and the city of Worms.

Contents and scope The collection contains files, official books and documents of the Municipality of Worms for the period 1815 - 1945, with a focus on the period from the end of the 19th century to the 1920s, plus a few pieces with longer durations, minus the areas whose documents are stored in the archives in the 11th registration file 12th registry office 13th registry office 12th registry office 12th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office Police Directorate 14. Commercial Court 15. Food Office 16. Food, Economic and Agricultural Office 17. Housing Office 18. Building Code Office 20. Cultural institutes, which, due to the quantity of material received and the fact that they are separated from the main stock, have been left as independent departments and some of them are already listed. In addition, plans for municipal and former municipal buildings of the period from around 1900 onwards are stored in the planning chamber of Amt 60.2 Bauamt-Hochbau. Further material still in stock at the offices is not known at present. The file envelopes usually carried (and carry, unless renewal was necessary due to poor condition) imprints or writings which they assigned to the (Lord) Mayor or the Mayor's Office, in the 1920s - 1940s also to the city administration. Only rarely do special municipal offices appear, namely - Stadtbauamt (approx. 70 files, sometimes factually and temporally parallel to those of the Lord Mayor, (especially in the case of files concerning Worms monuments), with departmental and section information that points to a different registration plan, - Versicherungs-/Fürsorge-/Wohlfahrts- und Jugendamt, Hessischer Bezirksfürsorgeverband Stadt Worms (changing names and combinations, approx. The files available here are thus likely to be the only remains of the registries of the offices mentioned, whereby the losses must have been enormous especially at the first two offices and presumably occurred only after 1945 due to the destruction of files without consulting the City Archives. Also files of the police office / police administration were found in approx. 25 cases in the stock and left in this connection, furthermore quite sporadically also further offices, whose delivery is good in the city archives (range of the Abt. 11 - 20, see above). The district office of Worms appears several times (especially in the files concerning economic concessions) as a preliminary provenance. TWO. The holdings were taken over by the City Archives around 1900 with a focus on the 1920s, but there are no individual records of this. On the file skirts, in which it was stored standing up to distortion, the delivery layers A, B, C, D and occasionally E were verifiable. In addition there was a larger delivery of the public utilities in 2002 (concerning the tram) as well as some files, which were delivered afterwards by municipal offices. In the course of the listing, the dissolved departments 64 (Scholarship Foundation Cornelius Heyl), 65 (White Scholarship Fund) as well as individual pieces from department 6, among them the documents of the 20th century previously kept as department 6 U, were integrated into department 5. Departments 3 (minutes of the 19th and 20th centuries) and 4 (invoices of the 19th and 20th centuries) had already been dissolved and assigned to Dept. 5 according to their period of affiliation, thus achieving the same status as Departments 1 and 2. For layer A there is a typewritten overview produced in the archives (now abbot 206 Old finding aids no. 4), which shows that abbot 5 A also contained files of the time of municipality (1792 - 1813), which are now integrated into abbot 2. The files lasted until about the middle of the 19th century and were arranged according to the registration plan for the Grand Ducal Mayors of Hesse of 1837 (original plan in Dept. 13 No. 1019). For stratum B, which comprised files from 1792 to 1906, mainly from the second half of the 19th century, there is a similar overview in Dept. 206 No. 4, also according to the order of the 1837 registry plan. There is also a handwritten register, which was apparently drawn up in one go and probably soon after 1906 (Dept. 206 No. 11). This list differs from the typewritten list mainly in that it contains a considerable number of files which are missing from the more recent list, only partially reappeared in the new list and must therefore have been cashed in or lost in the meantime. It also contains handwritten supplements of the archive employees Mrs. Sauerwein (in service until 1986) concerning files, which, for unknown reasons, had not been mentioned in the old register, had meanwhile appeared and been incorporated into the inventory, as well as a loose note of archive director Reuter with notes to the layers A, B and C. Also to layer C, which was formed from files of the time mostly after approx. 1906 - 1931, an old handwritten directory is available (Dept. 206 No. 12). It corresponds to the registration plan for the Großherzoglich Hessischen Bürgermeistereien of 1908, although it does not show sections below the departments marked with Roman numerals, but only consecutive numbering. This type of signing can also be found in part on the subsequent files up to 1945; a draft file plan with decimal classification (Dept. 5 No. 6631) submitted in 1932 has left no traces. There was no revision or machine transcription here, but there are more recent handwritten supplements by various hands. There are no directories for layers D and E, smaller deliveries. III. losses and cassation Due to the bombing raid of 21.02.1945 "primarily the loss of the stocks bricked up in several storeys in the Cornelianum was to be deplored, whereby above all considerable parts of the younger files of the city administration were lost. The exact extent of the loss of archival records, which may have been about 30 to 50 percent in the case of the more recent files, can hardly be determined with certainty" (Bönnen, Stadtarchiv, p. 22). In view of this and the losses - probably to be separated from it - noted above at layer B, any further cassation by the city archives was refrained from. The period of the densest file tradition extends from the end of the 19th to the 1920s. IV. Condition and storage The files stored in bundles and standing at the beginning of the indexing process, as well as the books, were, as far as possible, transferred to archive cartons in the usual manner. In the case of the tram files taken over from the Stadtwerke in 2002, the unusual condition that the original files, loosely laid out in file covers, were all put in standing files had to be reversed. Otherwise, stand-up files, folders or even thread-stitching appeared only sporadically. The 19th and 20th century invoices, the last part of the inventory, are only partially recorded at present (May 2004) and will continue to be stored in two rooms in the attic of the office building in Adenauerring due to their size and rare use. An archive box with the inscription "Schimmelbefall" contains the few affected pieces of the generally well-preserved stock (box no. 1140). V. Finding aids and other finding aids The inventory was recorded predominantly on index cards on the basis of the order by departments and with occasional deviations in the sections in accordance with the 1908 registry plan, and since 1992 has been stored in the PC (F

The N11 collection of Mintman's estate comprises 169 units of indexation with a total duration from 1863 to 1975. It probably reached the Kleve district archives shortly after the death of the estate of Ludwig Mintman (1884-1975) and was incorporated into the old collection E here. Groups were formed and provided with the signatures E6 to E34. An exact list of the old index can be found in the registry of the district archives under the file number 41 22 14 02. Since this first indexing was only a rough sorting with however very exact single sheet indexing, the present reorganization and new indexing was carried out, which permits a systematic access to the stock with the help of a classification. In addition, a search via keywords is possible. During the reorganization, cash was also collected, especially newspapers and newspaper cuttings. In addition some photos and death slips were taken and arranged with origin note into the appropriate collections, namely into F3 photo collection of the circle archives Kleve, S6 death slips collection and S16 prayer mission Primiz pictures. The estate consists or consisted mainly of books. Those with historical or local references were incorporated into the library of the district archives immediately after the inheritance was taken over at the end of the 1970s. A list of these books unfortunately does not exist. However, all volumes were marked with a stamp "Nachlass Mintmans". The largest part of the estate consists of textbooks or books related to pedagogy and didactics. These were grouped together, e.g. according to subjects. In addition, the estate also contains personal papers and private items, as well as extensive notes on the genealogy of various Aldekerk families, elaborations for teaching and drafts for the chronicle of Aldekerk as well as articles for the Aldekerk Heimatblatt and the Geldrische Heimatkalen-der. Ludwig Mintmans was born on 17 March 1884 at the Vennekels- and Mintmanshof in Kengen, Rheurdt municipality, Moers district as the only son of the married couple Jakob Mintmans and Anna Petronella née Jörris. After his discharge from primary school, he first attended the Präparandenanstalt in Krefeld, then the Lehrerseminar in Kempen from 1903 to 1906. After passing the 1st apprenticeship examination in July 1906, he became a teacher at the elementary school in Aldekerk. At first he received only a temporary employment, but after passing the 2nd apprenticeship examination in October 1909 he was permanently employed. At the same time he headed the vocational school in Aldekerk. After the end of the Second World War, Mr. Mintmans was reinstated into the school service in December 1945, from which he retired on 23 March 1948. The personal file of Ludwig Mintman is in inventory A under the signature KA Kle A 24. Further information about him and his teaching activities can be found in the following files: KA Kle A 106, KA Kle A 267, KA Kle B 417. On 13 June 1911 Ludwig Mintmans married Katharina Dese-laers, born on the Bermeshof in Vernum. The two had four children: Ludwig (7.7.1912), Adele (24.4.1914), Jakob (4.3.1917) and Heinrich (4.5.1921). Mrs. Mintmans died in May 1967. Ludwig Mintmans devoted his entire life to the history of his homeland, especially to researching the history of his hometown Aldekerk. So he wrote a chronicle for the parish Aldekerk, designed the coat of arms for the parish Aldekerk, took care of the dialect care and was co-founder of the Heimatverein, in which he received the honorary membership for his 80th birthday. Ludwig Mintmans published the following articles in the Geldrisches Heimatkalender: GHK 1953, p. 69ff: Das Rittergut Palings GHK 1955, p. 27ff: Haus- und Hofmarken GHK 1956, p. 110ff: Buttermilch und Flötekäs.

An obituary can be found in the Heimat-blatt of the municipality of Aldekerk, Volume 6, No. 21 of 8 November 1975. The estate was rearranged and recorded by Claudia Kurfürst from October to December 2008.

Carl Richard Müller was born on 2 June 1889 in Knauthain near Leipzig. After finishing school, he learned the profession of gardener from 1903-1906 and then worked in several German and Swiss towns. From the beginning of 1908 until October 1909 he had a job as a gardener at the cemetery on Casinostraße in Solingen. In 1910 and 1911 he did his military service as a naval artillerist in the German colony of Tsingtau in China. At the end of his service he concluded a contract of several years with the company Hernsheim, which traded and planted in the German colonial area of New Guinea/Bismarck Archipelago on the equator north of Australia. In 1912 he worked on the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands Bougainville. After an eventful year in which he was able to realize his childhood dream as a planter in the South Seas for the first time, but also lost some illusions about life in the colonies, the employment contract was terminated prematurely (apparently after differences with the company) and Müller returned to Germany via Australia. Severe malaria attacks tortured him on his way home and in Germany, but his homeland could not keep him in the long run. From summer 1913 to spring 1914 he sought his fortune in Argentina, but found no satisfactory job and decided to apply for immigration to Australia. At the end of June 1914 he had the necessary entry papers and boarded the German steamer Roon in Antwerp with the destination Freemantle. When the world war broke out in August 1914 and Great Britain took the side of the German opponents, the ship had to break off the voyage to Australia and seek refuge in Dutch India. From 1914 to 1940 he worked at four different stations, from 1927 on Tandjongdjati in southern Sumatra, where he cultivated coffee and rubber, and in 1939 the Belgian owners appointed him manager. The climax of his career was followed by a sudden end. The invasion of the Netherlands by the Wehrmacht on 10 May 1940 turned German citizens into enemies in the Dutch colonial empire. For Müller and many others the period of internment began - until the end of 1941 in the Dutch camp Alasvallei in northern Sumatra, then under British control in the camp Premnagar near Dehra Dun in northern India at the foot of Hima-laya. Only in autumn 1946 the prisoner Carl Richard Müller number 56134 was released and arrived in Solingen in December 1946. Here he found work in the nursery Diederich in Wald, to which he also remained faithful as a pensioner with casual work. In 1966 he had to give up his independent life because of bad health and moved to the Eugen-Maurer-Heim in Gräfrath. There he died on 21 March 1973. The estate has preserved some of Müller's adventurous life. Müller and other prisoners used the enforced inactivity during the long internment years for writing and for lectures in their own circle. Of these works, pieces have been preserved which are of particular interest for research into German colonial rule and European planting in the South Seas. Müller's autobiographical manuscripts about the years 1912-1940, which he thought he could summarize as the "ro-man of a fortune-seeker" (documents 11 and 12 with the addition of the photographs in documents 6 and 7 and cards in documents 17 and 26), are to be mentioned first and foremost. In addition there are numerous essays by Müller on plant cultures, economic and technical problems on the plantations and abstracts on the nature and fauna of Indonesia, mainly Sumatra (documents 13 to 16). Work done by fellow prisoners on their experiences in Indonesia and Australia can be found in file 23, including a report on detention in Sumatra with a shorter annex on time in India. Relatively little is known about camp life in Dehra Dun; Müller, however, kept a booklet titled "Männerworte" (Aktenstück 5), in which 22 fellow prisoners registered themselves with words of remembrance. The photographs of Müller's life in Solingen after 1946 are primarily preserved, of which the works for Diederich may be of local historical interest (file 8). Furthermore, the collection contains a file of the Social Welfare Office of the City of Solingen. The stock was handed over to the City Archive by the Social Welfare Office in a suitcase, which was separated from the above documents at the time of recording. The stock was recorded for the first time in September 1998 by Anika Schulze, developed by Hartmut Roehr in 2007.

Description of the holdings: In 1920 the attaché service was essentially dissolved. Between 1920 and 1933, no naval attachés were notified to German embassies abroad. From 1933 to 1945, the Kriegsmarine again sent naval attachés to the most important embassies. The majority of the naval attachés' files from 1933 to 1945 are still with the British admiralty in London. In the form of microfilms, the Federal Archives contain documents of the naval attaché in Madrid as well as fragments of files from Tokyo, Moscow and Oslo. Characterisation of content: Of the imperial naval attachés, only files of the attaché in Sofia from World War I have survived to a considerable extent. The tradition for the individual naval attachés since 1933 is very different. While for some attachés, e.g. Washington, no archives have been preserved in the holdings, for others, e.g. London, Rome, Tokyo, Moscow, Istanbul and Ankara, as well as Madrid, Lisbon, Agram and the four Scandinavian capitals, entire series of files have been preserved. The files of the naval attaché Tokyo go through the internment of the ´Personals (first by the Japanese, then by the Allies) and the handling of the office after the Second World War beyond the end of the war until 1947.

History of the Inventor: The Naval Command Office (A) assumed the function of the Admiral Staff, which had been dissolved as a result of the Treaty of Versailles, and in 1933 was expanded from originally 2 to 5 departments (A I: Operations, A II: Organisation and Readiness of the Naval Forces, A III: Naval Intelligence, A IV: Training, A V: Defense). After the operations department A I became independent in 1937 as naval war command, the importance of the naval command declined. In 1939 it was subordinated to the naval war command and was given the name Quartiermeisteramt (Skl/QuA), in 1944 finally the name Seekriegsleitung/ Der Admiralquartiermeister (Skl/AdmQu). Description of the stock: The Naval Command Office assumed the function of the Admiral Staff dissolved on the basis of the Treaty of Versailles. Initially divided into the fleet department and the weir department, it was expanded in 1923 to include the naval training department. In 1933, a reorganization with the following departments came into force: AI Fleet Department (for operations and foreign navies); AII Naval Organization Department (for organization and readiness of naval forces); AIII Naval Intelligence Department; AIV Naval Training Department (for training matters); V Naval Department (for certain naval matters). In addition the naval justice administration AJustV joined. After the operations department of the Fleet Department became independent as a naval war command, the leadership importance of the Naval Command Office declined. At the beginning of the war in 1939 it was subordinated to the naval war command and in the course of the war it was given the name Quartermaster's Office (Skl/QuA), then on 1 May 1944 it was renamed the Naval War Command/ The Admiral Quartermaster's Office (Skl/AdmQu). From 1937 to 1939, the head of the Naval Command Office was also head of the Naval War Management Staff. Tasks of the Fleet Department, questions of border protection, mine clearance, settlement matters and rebuilding of the Reichsmarine until the end of March 1921; files on air law and secret armaments matters, matters of liability for damages against the Allies after 1918, documents on the Fleet Construction Program and operational questions 1923-1939, further documents of the Naval Intelligence Service, among others from the time of the Spanish Civil War. Characterization of content: The surviving written material is divided into three registry groups. The "Alte Registratur" documents the tasks of the Fleet Department, questions of border protection, mine clearance, handling matters and rebuilding of the Reichsmarine until the end of March 1921; files on air law and secret armaments matters reach into the early thirties. From the early twenties, the affairs of the naval officers designated by the Allies as war criminals in the mixed arbitral tribunals have been documented, as have the procedures for liability for damages under the peace treaty. The third group consists mainly of documents on the fleet construction programme, on issues relating to the training of assistant leaders and on operational issues from 1923 to 1939; the documents of the Naval Intelligence Service, including those from the time of the Spanish Civil War, are also of importance.

History of the Inventor: The naval station of the Baltic Sea, built in 1853 as a naval station command in Gdansk, was moved to Kiel in 1865. The station chief had territorial authority over all naval authorities and naval parts existing in his area. In the area of the Reichskriegshafen Kiel he had the rights and duties of a fortress commander. The station command also processed the personal data of all assigned soldiers. In June 1935, the station chief was given the service title Commanding Admiral of the Naval Station of the Baltic Sea. On 1.2.1943 the Stationskommando was renamed into Marineoberkommando Ostsee (MOK Ost), the Commanding Admiral into Oberbefehlshaber Ostsee, to whose Oberverwaltungsstab also the Mariineintendantur Kiel belonged from 1.7.1943.

In the course of the war, the original command area expanded. With the Polish campaign Gotenhafen and the area of the corridor around Gdansk joined the command area, with the company "Weserübung" also the Danish east and north coast. With the Russian campaign the Baltic States and North Russia, as far as occupied by German troops, were added. The tasks of the naval station primarily included: active and passive coastal protection in the area; management of the training and operation of the subordinate naval units and authorities on board and ashore; management of the personnel management of the naval units in the area of the station; management of the military intelligence service as well as the design and maintenance of the intelligence network; provision and occupancy of barracks and accommodation; regulation of the port police service in the respective imperial war port; management of coastal protection and coastal defence as well as the surveillance and intelligence service in war. The stock is intended for splitting. The documents of the naval station of the Baltic Sea of the Reichsmarine and Kriegsmarine will form the new stock RM 131. RM 31 will then only comprise the documents of the naval station of the Baltic Sea of the Prussian and Imperial Navies. Content characterization: From the period up to 1918, the organizational area is well documented, also of most subauthorities whose registry property has been destroyed. The war records of the station from the First World War are of particular value. They contain approx. 800 volumes on the following subjects: War benefit law, provision for surviving dependants, raw materials management, press affairs, patriotic relief service, internees and prisoners of war, Red Cross, labour issues.

History of the Inventory Designer: Skl = Operations Department of the Naval Command Office, Chief of the Authority was Chief of the Staff of the Naval War Command (Skl) from April 1, 1937. In this capacity, in 1938, the former naval intelligence department of the Naval Command Office was subordinated to him. In 1939 the Chief of Staff of the Skl handed over the leadership of the Naval Command Office. In 1939, as a result of the dissolution of the General Naval Office, the Nautical and Military Technical Division joined the Skl. From May 1, 1944, the Chief of the Staff of the Skl was known as the Chief of the Skl. Inventory Description: On April 1, 1937, the Chief of the Naval Command Office was given the additional service designation "Chief of the Staff of the Naval War Command (Skl)". Shortly before the outbreak of war in 1939, the Personalunion chief of the Naval Command Office/Head of the Naval Headquarters Staff was abolished. The Naval Command Office received its own Chief of Staff, who was subordinate to the Chief of Staff of the Skl. From 1.5.1944 the chief of the staff of the Skl led the service designation chief of the naval war management. The naval warfare management was the coordinating and decision-making body for all areas of naval warfare. She was in charge of operational and strategic warfare. It dealt with armaments and personnel matters, tactical problems, questions of ship readiness, equipment and supplies, questions of mine, air and land warfare as well as navigational and meteorological problems. The Skl was divided into the following sections: Chief of the Skl Staff (issued the operational guidelines and orders for the conduct of naval warfare and the deployment of naval forces); Chief of Naval Warfare; Operations Department (dealt with all areas related to the conduct of naval warfare and regulated the deployment of the Navy within the framework of the overall operations and ensured the operational cooperation of the Navy with the army and air force); U-boat department (was responsible for determining the military prerequisites and requirements for submarine construction, the establishment and training of submarine formations and crews, for the creation and design of submarine bases and escort ships as well as the submarine and anti-submarine defence); U-boat command and control department; naval intelligence department / naval intelligence department (was responsible for the entire naval intelligence service, d.h. for the securing of the intelligence connections, for the organisation and deployment of the intelligence service, for radio reconnaissance and radio measurement, as well as for the development, equipment and training of intelligence devices); intelligence evaluation department (collection and evaluation of all intelligence important for naval warfare and the resulting creation of the basis for enemy assessments by the operation group); locating service department (evaluation of operational experience, development, introduction and equipment of locating devices and systems); nautical department (head of the entire hydrographic and meteorological service). Characterisation of the contents: The main part of the tradition from the time after 1933 is the war diary of the Skl with its annexes, which, with a few exceptions, is completely preserved. The war diary records all essential events of the war events, also the land and air war. It also contains political and situation overviews and material on international law, propaganda and merchant shipping. Particularly noteworthy are the documents of the Operations Department and again those of Unit A (Operations of the Naval War, e.g. Case "Weser Exercise", case "Barbarossa", planning "Sea Lion", occupation of Denmark and Norway, attack on the Soviet Union, invasion 1944), of Unit I (International and Naval Law of War), of Unit L (Air Force Issues), of Unit M (work on the Mediterranean theatre of war, Balkans and the Black Sea), N (work on the theatre of war of the Group North, the Norwegian area and the operations spanning the Baltic Sea), and the W (work on the Western area, the Atlantic area and the French coastal forefield). The files of the Operations Department (e.g. case "Weser Exercise", occupation of Denmark) are relatively extensive. The material of the Merchant Shipping and Economic War group as well as of the General Department III (organisational and armament issues) are just as important as the files of the various departments of the Naval Intelligence Service. In addition there is also material about the Japanese Navy, the Spanish Civil War as well as about the cooperation with the Soviet Union, Italy and Spain.
