Scope and content

History of tradition: The Department of Justice, created in 1807, was upgraded to the Ministry of Justice in 1808/09, but was abolished in 1819. Its tasks were initially performed by the Ministry of the Interior and the Court of Appeal, but then mainly by the Justice Section set up within the Ministry of State. But as early as 1825 the Ministry of Justice was newly established. In the years 1871-1876 it was also responsible for foreign affairs, 1871-1881 for the Grand Ducal House and 1881-1911 for cult and education, science and art. In 1911 - as in 1871 - the departments of the Grand Duke's House, Justice and Foreign Affairs were merged, but in 1919 the new Baden constitution was to reduce the Ministry of Justice to its actual core areas again. In 1933, the two ministries of justice and cult and education were reunited. In 1934, within the framework of the National Socialist Gleichschaltung, his powers were transferred to the Reich Ministry of Justice. Processing: The previous card index was digitised with the support of the DFG in 2012. The title recordings were checked, supplemented if necessary and rearranged. The old tape repertory for the personnel and examination files (1999) was incorporated into the finding aid. Content: In addition to the files of the Ministry of Justice itself, the collection also contains documents of the Justice Examination Office, the two Protestant and Catholic church sections (from 1843 Oberkirchenräte) located at the Ministry of the Interior as well as the Compensation Commission for the distribution of church property in the Rhine-Palatinate.
