Fonds A Rep. 200-01 - Corporation of the merchants of Berlin

On 2 March 1820, King Frederick William issued a statute for the merchants of Berlin. It received the name "Korporation der Berliner Kaufmannschaft". Superior authorities were the municipal authorities of the city of Berlin and the Prussian Ministry for Trade and Industry. Joining the corporation was a free decision. In order to obtain the commercial rights (credibility of the books, interest and commissions, changeability, social status of the assistants), however, accession was a prerequisite. The guild of cloth and silk traders, the guild of material traders and the stock exchange corporation merged to form a new association in the corporation of the Berlin merchants. She managed the affairs of the merchant team and represented them externally. Her area of responsibility included the cities of Berlin and Charlottenburg. After the establishment of a chamber of commerce in Berlin on April 29, 1902 according to the law of August 19, 1897, the corporation ceded its public law tasks to the chamber of commerce, but remained in existence alongside the chamber of commerce as a self-governing body and was finally dissolved only in 1920.- Organisation and assets (real estate, finance, elections, elders, advisory boards, celebrations, foundations) - Chambers of commerce and associations (chambers of commerce, commerce and agriculture, companies, cooperatives, associations, federations, federations, international congresses).- Berlin Stock Exchange (incl.
