History of the authorities: After the National Socialists seized power, special courts were added to the existing criminal courts on the basis of the decree of the Reich government of 21 March 1933 (RGBl. I p. 136). The legal basis for this was Chapter II of Part Six of the 3rd Ordinance of the Reich President of 6 October 1931 on Securing the Economy and Finance and Combating Political Violence (RGBl. I p. 565). The special courts were formed for the Higher Regional Court districts and were composed of a chairman and two assessors. The special court rulings were not subject to appeal. By decree of 27 March 1933 on the formation of special courts (Bad. Justizministerialblatt Nr. 6 vom 28.3.1933, p. 47), Mannheim was designated as the seat of the special court for the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court district. The public prosecutor's office at the Mannheim Regional Court was the prosecuting authority. The registry of the Mannheim Regional Court was also the registry of the Special Court. The allocation of business to the Special Court was made by the President of the Long Court. With effect from 1 November 1940, a separate special court was formed at the Freiburg Regional Court for the districts of Freiburg, Constance, Offenburg and Waldshut. The jurisdiction of the special courts was generally governed by the following provisions:1. § 8 of the Law against Betrayal of the German National Economy of 12.6.1933 (RGBl. I p. 360);2nd Ordinance of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State of 28.2.1933 (RGBl. I p. 83);3rd Ordinance of the Reich President for the Defence against Insidious Attacks against the Government of the National Survey of 21.3.1933 (RGBl. I p. 135);4. law against insidious attacks on state and party and for the protection of party uniforms of 20.12.1934 (RGBl. I p. 1269);5. law for the guarantee of the right peace of 13.10.1933 (RGBl. I p. 723);6. law for the protection of the party uniforms of 13.10.1933 (RGBl. I p. 723);6. law for the protection of the party uniforms of 20.12.1934 (RGBl. I p. 1269) 134 b Reichsstrafgesetzbuch according to the ordinance of the Reich government of 24.9.1935 (RGBl. I p. 136);7. § 134 a Reichsstrafgesetzbuch according to the ordinance of the Reich government of 5.2.1936 (RGBl. I p. 97);8. ordinance of 20.11.1938 (RGBl. I p. 1632) for crimes that belonged to the jurisdiction of the jury court or a lower court if immediate conviction appeared necessary;9th Ordinance on Extraordinary Broadcasting Measures of 1.9.1939 (RGBl. I p. 1683);10. § 1 of the War Economy Ordinance of 4.9.1939 (RGBl. I p. 1609);11. § 1 of the Ordinance Against Popular Pests of 5.9.1939 (RGBl. I p. 1679);12. §§ 1, 2 of the Ordinance Against Violent Criminals of 5.12.1939 (RGBl. I p. 2378);13. § 239 a Reichsstrafgesetzbuch;14. Law against road theft by means of car traps of 22.6.1938 (RGBl. I p. 651);15. § 5 of the War Special Criminal Law Ordinance of 17.8.1938 (RGBl. I p. 1455): according to decree of the Reich Ministry of Justice of 27.5.In 1940, after the jurisdiction of the Wehrmacht courts to convict civilians for criminal offences under § 5 of the War Special Criminal Law Ordinance had been transferred to the general courts, the prosecuting authorities were instructed to bring charges before the Special Court in all significant cases.16Furthermore, charges could be brought before the Special Court for violations of the Act Implementing the Four-Year Plan of 29 October 1936 and of the Ordinance on Penalties and Criminal Proceedings for Violations of Price Regulations of 3 June 1939. History: The establishment of the special court in Mannheim as a department of the regional court there was not without difficulties. The frequent change of court referees had an effect on the conduct of official business. This had a negative effect not least on file management. The office was located in Heidelberg during the war. The court partially met in Karlsruhe. As a result of the district events, the special court files were partially destroyed. Many files were sent to other judicial authorities at the end of the war. During the occupation of the court building in Heidelberg in the spring of 1945, the files of the special court registry were thrown into the cellar, all lacings were loosened and so disordered that the context of the individual case-related documents no longer existed. Some of the files were outsourced by the occupying power in various places. In the summer of 1948, the written material was successively returned to the public prosecutor's office at the Mannheim Regional Court and, from 1976 onwards, several partial deliveries were made to the General State Archives. Order and distortion: The present collection is divided into two main parts. The first part lists the procedural and investigative files. From the years 1933 and 1934, only the reference files of the trial files have survived; of the investigation files, with a few exceptions, the years 1933 to 1935 are completely missing. Since, however, the process and investigation registers recorded in the second part of the finding aid have been preserved, at least the activity of the court can be reconstructed. The entries in the register are shown in a selection in this finding aid (cases for which no files are available). 1976 Mr. Wilhelm Steinbach began with the title entries. The completion or revision was carried out by the undersigned.Karlsruhe, in January 1993Manfred Hennhöfer[slightly revised version of the preface from 1993] Conversion: In 2015, the indexing data were converted to fonds 507 and processed into the available online finding aids. For technical reasons, the structure of the data and the structure of the data records had to be changed. However, the content of the indexing information was retained in its entirety.

History of the Inventory Designer: The idea of setting up a female SS news corps (WNK-SS) goes back to Heinrich Himmler's personal initiative at the beginning of 1942. On 17 February the latter had commissioned his office "Chief of Telecommunications" with the formulation of a constellation order as well as with the elaboration of guidelines for the tasks, organization and training of the Female Intelligence Corps of the SS to be created. The primary purpose of this measure was to be able to deploy male SS intelligence personnel to the front, and certainly also to make the SS intelligence more efficient and independent of Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe intelligence workers. It was planned to establish a "School WNK-SS" for the "training of radio operators, teletypists and telephones for the intelligence service at the offices in the entire area of the Reichsführer-SS and bosses of the German police". The town of Oberehnheim in Alsace, about 30 km south of Strasbourg, was chosen as the training location. It had sufficient accommodation with Oberkirch Castle, the "Ehn-Schlösschen", Villa Schwörer and Leonhardsau Castle. First commander of the SS-Nachrichtenschule Oberehnheim, later "Reichsschule-SS", became the SS-Oberführer von Dufais, who after his appointment on 29 June 1942 was responsible for the further technical and personnel equipment of the school. The latter consisted mainly of the advertising and training of teaching staff. The necessary preparatory work, which also included the organisation of the recruitment of junior staff, was completed by the end of the year, so that training could begin at the beginning of 1943. The advertising and recruitment of SS helpers was initially carried out exclusively by the SS upper sections on the basis of a decree issued by the Reichsführer-SS on 14 August 1942 (NS 32 II/3). During the war, SS helpers were called upon on the basis of the Emergency Service Ordinance of 15 October 1938 (RGBl I p. 1441) to establish an employment relationship corresponding to an employment contract. The prerequisite for recruitment was that the applicant met the "requirements placed on the spouses of SS members". The definitive termination was also preceded by a medical and intelligence test, a medical examination and an SD review. After being called up to the SS-Helferinnenschule, the SS-Maiden (official appointment of SS-Helferinnen during their training) underwent an eight-week basic training course, which, in addition to further examination and selection, served in particular ideological training. He was followed by a special training course in one of the five training groups (wire, radio, staff and administration service, housekeeping, subordinate school), which lasted between six and 24 weeks. After completing their training and passing their examinations, the helpers received their orders to go to an SS office in the Reich or in the occupied and affiliated territories. The original plan was to use it in closed military units (comradeships, trains, readies). However, this form of organisation never came to fruition, as the need for helpers at all times far exceeded the number of news maids trained in Oberehnheim. In practice, the SS-Helferinnenschule received daily reports of needs from the SS supplement offices (mostly sent in advance by telegram). In return, the supplementary offices were then notified of the marching in of a number of helpers who were mostly behind the number requested. In August 1942, after the advertising results of the SS sections had always remained unsatisfactory, the SS Supplementary Offices were also responsible for the recruitment of junior staff and the recruitment procedure. In addition, the BDM has intensified its involvement in the recruitment of junior staff. Nevertheless, the capacity of approximately 250 course participants reached at the beginning of the training could never be significantly exceeded. The total number of news workers trained at the SS-Helferinnenschule therefore amounts to about 3000. Structural changes occurred in November 1944, when the approaching Western Front made it necessary to withdraw from Oberehnheim. The staff and the basic training courses were moved to Geislingen an der Steige, the remaining training groups to Heidenheim. Just one month later (mid-December 1944), the wire training group moved into their quarters in the Erfurt Police Assistant School, which had previously been under the command of the Ordnungspolizei and was now subordinated to the SS headquarters. The local leader was SS-Hauptsturmführer Appelbaum, while the SS Helferinnenschulen, now distributed among Heidenheim, Geislingen, and Erfurt, were headed by Obersturmbannführer Mutschler, who had replaced Dufais in June 1944. Inventory description: Inventory description The files of the Provenance SS-Helferinnenschule originate from the collection "Reichsführer-SS und Chef der Deutschen Polizei" (RG 1010), which contained documents that were transferred from American custody to the Federal Archives in the course of file returns. The files of the SS Helferinnenschule (formerly stock RS 5), which were handed down in the Federal Archives Military Archives, were merged with them. The NS 32 II collection was established in 1973 in Koblenz and made accessible in the form of a find book. Since 1973, the personal documents belonging to the inventory have been located in the Central Proof Office (ZNS) in Aachen, where they were evaluated for the purpose of issuing service time statements by means of automatic data processing on personal names. After the dissolution of the CNS at the end of 2005, the files were returned to the inventory. It should be noted that the files include several volumes of the provenance "Chief of Telecommunications at the Reichsführer-SS and Chief of the German Police", the classification of which seemed to make sense due to their clear content. These are numbers 1-6, 9, 22, 26, 27, 45, 47 and 110. Archival evaluation and processing The revision made only minor changes to the records. There were no cassations. Content characterization: Establishment, organisation and development of the SS-Helferinnenschule 1942-1945 (22), Lei‧tung, management and supervisory staff, medical care 1933-1945 (12), real estate, inventory and procurement 1942-1945 (14), internal service, training, work and duty schedules 1942-1945 (21), Advertising and recruitment of SS-Helfe‧rinnen 1942-1945 (11), requirements and deployment of female SS helpers 1943-1945 (18), Personalangelegen‧heiten 1942-1945 (24) Despite its relatively small size, this collection documents very well the history of the SS-Helferinnenschule and its relations to the state and the NSDAP. He thus makes a significant contribution to the topic of "Women in the SS State". State of development: Online-Findbuch (2006) Citation method: BArch, NS 32-II/...

Administrative history: At the beginning of the war in 1939, following the passing of the Reichsleistungsgesetz (Reich Benefits Act) in the version of 1 September 1939 and of § 1911 of the BGB in the version of 11 October 1939 (cf. RGBl 1939 I, p. 2026 ff.), care and administration in absentia were ordered for Jewish property of all kinds, including stored goods, foreign holdings in German firms, real estate and stored stock. The property of Germans who were abroad at the time the law came into force could also be affected. These could be complete shiploads, e.g. from ships that were forced to turn back due to the danger of war. For example, the representatives of the Reich Office for Wood or the Reich Governor in Hamburg were charged with complete loads of wood that could not be assigned to owners or to the storage site of Hamburg at that time. The court-appointed caretakers and administrators were usually merchants and lawyers who were actually required to act for the benefit of their fosterlings. In the further course of the war, however, parts of the assets were transferred to the Reich or the "people's assets", so that not all caretakers took care of real clarification of the property situation or could not do so even in the absence of information, because documents were missing and could not be procured due to the war. The documents recorded in this inventory on the administration of assets of enemy foreigners, Germans staying abroad, and Jews who had fled abroad were first created in Dept. 5 of the State Administration in Hamburg (Economic, Agricultural, and Social Department), before they were transferred in the course of the war to the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Economic Affairs for the Wehrwirtschaftsbezirk X (Military Economic District X). It will not be possible to reconstruct in detail how they came from here to the office of the Great Criminal Chamber 8 (Economic Criminal Chamber) of the Regional Court. From here they were handed over to the State Archives in 1999 and - since they cannot be assigned to the Regional Court in accordance with the provenance - formed into the existing holdings. In addition to the individual care processes, there were also a few general administrative processes for the treatment of care. Archival history: The archive assistants Mr. Köppe and Mr. Nowak demetalized, relocated and recorded the mostly narrow individual processes under the guidance of the undersigned; Mr. Köppe subsequently recorded the archive records with "Findbuch"; they were revised and indexed by the undersigned.

Finding aids: Findbuch 2007 (online searchable) Registraturbildner: Until the administrative reform of 1932, the forestry administration in Anhalt belonged to the department of the Mittelbehörde Finanzdirektion (Finance Directorate), established in 1874. At that time, the forest district administrations of Dessau, Haideburg, Sollnitz, Rossdorf, Nedlitz, Coswig, Serno, Aderstedt, Gernrode, Harzgerode, Güntersberge, Wörlitz and Lindau were subordinated to it. With the First Ordinance on the Transformation and Simplification of Administration of 4 July 1932, the central authorities were dissolved and their tasks transferred to five newly created departments of the Dessau State Ministry, the highest state authority. Initially, Sub-Division C of the Finance Department was responsible for the State Forestry Administration. In 1936, as a result of shifts in duties between the Finance Department and the Economics Department, the name of the subdivision changed from C to B. The forest administrations formerly subordinated to the Finance Directorate were now subordinated to this department. In the twenties of the twentieth century, the majority of forest district administrations had received the designation "Staatsoberförsterei" (State Forester's Office), apparently depending on the size of their area of responsibility and the qualification of the respective leader. Subdivision C, or later B, was immediately renamed "Anhaltisches Staatsministerium, Abteilung Finanzen, Landesforstverwaltung". The former forest district administrations became Anhalt Forestry Offices, which were responsible in their area for several district forest rangers and partly also for forest wardens. In 1937 the state forestry offices Nedlitz, Coswig, Serno, Dessau, Haideburg, Sollnitz, Aderstedt, Gernrode, Harzgerode and Güntersberge as well as the foundation districts of the Theater- und Joachim-Ernst-Stiftung (forestry offices Wörlitz, Roßdorf and Lindau) were subordinated to the "Department of Finance, State Forest Administration". On the basis of an agreement between the Herzogliche Treuhandverwaltung and the Anhaltisches Staatsministerium dated 24 December 1928, the latter had been transferred to state administration on 1 January 1929. The structure thus remained essentially unchanged until the end of the Second World War in 1945. The Dessau District Forestry Office, established in 1945, is to be regarded as the successor authority to the State Forestry Administration. Inventory information: In the 50s, 60s and 90s of the 20th century, the Oranienbaum State Archive took over numerous files from various Anhalt forestry authorities, including the Anhalt State Forestry Administration. The stock was formed in 1999 by new distortions. The files that had already been opened up were included in the archive holdings "Z 117-7 Finanzdirektion. Forest Matters 2" and are still included in it today. The source tradition of the Anhalt Forestry Administration and its subordinate forestry authorities, in contrast to that of other Anhalt authorities from the Nazi period, is relatively extensive. On the basis of the available documents, information on general changes in the Anhalt authority organisation, on personnel and settlement policy (creation of Reichsheimstätten), on the increased use of voluntary labour service and prisoners of war in forestry or on the acquisition of forest areas by the Reichswehrmachtfiskus for the expansion of military sites during this period can be traced. Additional information: The above-mentioned cards are contained in file units or have been removed from them for conservation reasons. Cards included: 35 Photos included: 12

Contains among other things: 1. protectorate law, Reich and citizenship law

April 1848, die eine dreistufige Staatsverwaltung ein eingeleitetitete. In the course of the constitutional unification of the two duchies, the State Ministry of Dessau was formed on 25 May 1853 from the three State Ministries of the Federal State, the State Ministry of Dessau and the State Ministry of Köthen. After the extinction of the Dukes of Anhalt-Bernburg, the Dessau State Ministry merged with the Bernburg State Ministry on 13 September 1863 to form the Dessau State Ministry. The Anhalt state ministries were formally responsible for all departments as higher authorities with "directing, ordering, supervising and executive power". There was no division into individual ministries. For the execution of certain specialist tasks, the governments and their specialist departments were subordinated to them as intermediate authorities, which in turn subordinated the district directorates as subordinate authorities. The separation of the judiciary and administration at all levels has been achieved through the establishment of specific judicial authorities. Inventory information: The files were first kept at the State Ministry Dessau 3 as "Aktenrepertorium Herzoglich Anhaltischen Staatsministeriums D" and at the end of the 19th century were handed over to the State Archive Zerbst, where they were filed under Rep. 7. Additional information: The filming took place as part of the GDR backup filming (so-called Fercher films). Included cards: 3

After the attack of the Bernburg Line on Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen in 1863, the former State Ministries of Dessau and Bernburg formed the State Ministry of Dessau on 13 September 1863. The Anhalt state ministries were formally responsible for all departments as higher authorities with "directing, ordering, supervising and executive power".

For the execution of certain specialist tasks, the governments and their specialist departments were subordinated to them as intermediate authorities, which in turn subordinated the district directorates as subordinate authorities. The separation of the judiciary and administration at all levels has been achieved through the establishment of specific judicial authorities. With the loss of the independence of the Länder and the establishment of the Reich Governor for Braunschweig and Anhalt, the State Ministry lost importance. When, after the end of the war, the old state of Anhalt was first incorporated into the province and then into the state of Saxony-Anhalt, a state ministry became obsolete as the highest authority. The tasks of the various ministerial departments, insofar as they were not directly assumed by the provincial government in Halle, were transferred to the newly formed central authority of the Dessau district administration. Inventory information: Most of the files were transferred to the Zerbst State Archives between 1923 and 1935, where they were filed under Rep. 9.
