The history and content of the collection: After Weiszäcker's death in 1926, the estate initially remained in the widow's apartment in Stuttgart, where it was moved to the house acquired in 1931 on the Moozacher Halde near Lindau. On 21 June 1975, Baroness Marianne von Weizsäcker transferred the estate to the Main State Archives in Stuttgart. After its reorganization, it is available for scientific research. Usage for publications which deal in particular with the work of the Prime Minister Karl Freiherr von Weizsäcker and which do not only contain occasional references to his activities require the consent of Professor Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsäcker.The estate consists mainly of Weizsäcker's handfiles from his term as Minister of Culture, President of the Ministry of State (Prime Minister), Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Minister of Family Affairs of the Royal House, mixed with individual registry files of the Ministry of State and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as official, semi-official and private correspondence and numerous newspaper clippings. In addition, there are correspondence, notes, documents relating to publications and newspaper clippings from his retirement. Some few documents from the estate of his father, Professor Karl v. Weizsäcker, have been included in the inventory (Bü 4)The estate of the Minister President v. Breitling (Bü 31) contains files of foreign provenances, letters to the Minister of State v. Fleischhauer (Bü 80, 86 and 93), correspondence of the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Freiherr Julius v. Soden (Bü 151) and letters of Weizsäcker to General Fritz von Graevenitz (Bü 146).Parallel tradition is mainly found in the files of the Royal Cabinet (E 14), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (E 46 - E 75), the Ministry of State (E 130) and the Ministry of War (M 1/2) lying in the Main State Archives, in particular the following files should be pointed out:E 14: Royal Cabinet IIBü 487: Weizsäcker's application for release from office from 5.

This is true of Weizsäcker's term as cult minister, during which he campaigned for the abolition of spiritual supervision of schools and for constitutional reform, and it is even more true of the period from 1906 to 1918, during which, as President of the State Ministry, he headed the affairs of government and was also State Minister of Foreign Affairs. The question of Württemberg's relationship to the Reich and, in general, of federal cooperation, as well as the views of the Württemberg government on German foreign policy before the First World War and, above all, the Württemberg attitude to German politics during the war, are given sharper contours by the documents of this estate. During this time, the correspondence with his friend Alfred von Kiderlen-Waechter, the reports of the Württemberg envoys from Berlin (v. Varnbüler) and Munich (v. Moser) as well as the reports of the Württemberg military representative in Berlin and in the Great Headquarters (v. Graevenitz) are of particular importance. Since the tradition of the two legations and the reports of the military representative in the official files are incomplete - most of the documents of the military representative in Berlin have been destroyed - the reports from the estate are able to close some gaps. In terms of content, these semi-official reports, written in personal-private form - v. Graevenitz was Weizsäcker's counter-sister and also v. Varnbüler was personally close to him - say much more than the official reports of these Württemberg diplomats. 3. on the organisation of the stock: Weizsäcker arranged his documents according to subject matter or persons without a systematic structure. After his death, some connections were lost during relocations and probably also during uses of the estate. In the course of time, various smaller attempts at order were made, but these only extended to individual documents. For example, evaluation notes were added to some files, such as 'less valuable except for letters' or 'worthless except for any individual letters'. Further on there was an order which contained at least 18 tufts or individual pieces and which can still be reconstructed with the following numbers:1 Memories23 Letter from Friedrich Grand Duke of Baden, 19234 Bethmann Hollweg5 Fritz von Graevenitz (Letter to Weizsäcker, 1911-1918)6 Kiderlen-Waechter7 Letters from Adolf Freiherr Marschall von Bieberstein, (1906) 19088 Letters from Moser von Filseck, 1906-19139 Letter from Ritter, Königiglich Bayerischer Gesandter in Stuttgart, 190910 correspondence with Wilhelm Herzog von Urach, 1906-192411 correspondence with Queen Charlotte von Württemberg, 1922-192512 Philipp Albrecht Herzog von Württemberg, 1914-192413 motivation of the dismissal of the Reich Chancellor Prince Bülow by Emperor Wilhelm II.14 Warschuldfrage 1925-192615161718a Varnbülerberichte vom 14. Juli 1909 (Daily Telegraph-Affäre)Parts of the estate were filmed by the Federal Archives in 1965, and after the estate had been transferred to the Main State Archives, it was systematically arranged and recorded by the Director of the State Archives, Dr. Eberhard Gönner, between 1975 and 1979. The 18 tufts mentioned above could not remain in their previous composition. The temporal classification of Weizsäcker's notes caused certain difficulties, because they could not always be clearly identified as contemporary notes or later notes for planned publications. The title recordings were revised by Eberhard Gönner from November 1985 to March 1986, whereby the correspondences were further broken down and indices created. For reasons of clarity, the "Contained" and "Darin" notes as well as the "Subjects" have generally been numbered consecutively. The "Contains" and "Darin" notes generally correspond to archival units (documents or subfascicles), the "Concern" only exceptionally.177 tufts of files with a total of 2.6 m.

History of Tradition Biographical information Heinz Braun was born in 1927 as the son of Heinrich Braun and Barbara Braun, née Müller. At the age of ten the secondary school student Heinz Braun went to the Hitler Youth, at 15 he became a member of the fire brigade, at 16 he became an air force helper. He was drafted at the age of 17. After Heinz Braun had been deployed around Breslau in 1945, he spent a few weeks of rest with his comrades in a village near Prague. Finally, Heinz Braun was deployed on his way to Lake Balaton in mid-April 1945 in Vienna. While defending a crossroads, he and his comrades were taken prisoner of war in Russia. After a three-month stay in Vienna, they were taken to Stalingrad. He returned home from captivity in January 1950. With the help of the care of the returnees, he began training as an electrician, to which he joined the technician. In 1956 Heinz Braun married a young woman from Rottweil, with whom he has two sons. He took early retirement in 1985. After Mr. Braun had learned of the estate of Kugler, which had been published by the State Archive Sigmaringen, he donated a photo album with a collection of field postcards and some photographs to the archive in 2006 (access 2006/45). The vast majority of the field postcards his mother Barbara Braun, née Müller, had received from her brothers Jakob and Philipp during the First World War. Furthermore, in 2007 (access 2007/02), Mr Braun donated letters, personal documents and photographs from the first half of the 20th century to the Sigmaringen State Archives. In addition, Mr. Braun supplemented his past, in particular his stay in a prisoner of war camp in Stalingrad, as well as the past of his mother and his uncle Jakob Müller with personal notes and partially literarily worked up. The collection's focus is on 167 field postcards from the time of the First World War. They visualize the everyday life of soldiers as well as the effects of war. Used as a means of propaganda against their own population, they also illustrate the expansion of psychological warfare in the First World War. Within the newly created classification levels, the units of description were arranged chronologically. Postcards and photographs not to be dated are placed at the end of a classification group. Records, letters and personal documents of the estate giver were summarized in thematic units. Titles of postcards and photographs were made on the basis of text imprints. If no text imprints were available, the handwritten titles of the postcard owners were taken over in quotation marks. Own title formations or additions were made without quotation marks. In the case of postcards sent, the sender and recipient are also noted. The title shows place names in the spelling used on the postcards and photographs. Where today's official place names differ, they have been added in square brackets. The place names of that time, but also German names for foreign places can be understood in this way. The postcards are dated after the date of dispatch of the card. If the author of a postcard has dated his message to a date before the date of dispatch, both dates have been included. Information on publishers, photo studios, series and film numbering appear in the "Presignature 1" data field. In ScopeArchive the inventory was recorded and packaged under the guidance of Dr. Volker Trugen berger and Sibylle Brühl by intern Sarah Bongermino in July and August 2008. The inventory comprises 167 postcards, 15 photographs and 10 file units with a total volume of 0.4 linear metres of shelving.
