History of the authorities: The establishment and expansion of a military medical service took place in the second half of the 19th century. A Prussian medical corps had been in existence since 1873, headed by the General Staff physician of the army, who was also head of the medical department of the War Ministry, director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Academy for Military Medical Education and chairman of the scientific senate there. He was also responsible for the personal affairs of the military doctors and other medical personnel. Since 1906, the four medical inspectorates in Poznan, Berlin, Kassel and Strasbourg have held the liaison from the General Staff Physician to the medical offices of the army corps established in the second half of the 19th century, which in turn were under the exclusive supreme command of the Reich in accordance with the Military Convention of 25 November 1870. In 1912 another inspection was set up in Gdansk. Among senior general practitioners in the rank of Major General, as the supreme supervisory authorities, they covered the territory of several army corps, each of which was assigned a medical office under a corps general practitioner. Personally subordinate to the commanding general and the general staff physician of the army, he was the medical-technical advisor of the general command in all questions of health and medical care as well as head of the medical office as military-medical provincial authority of their area of competence. In the case of the medical office of the XIV Army Corps, these were the lands of Baden and Hohenzollern as well as parts of the Upper Alsace with the exception of the Baden and Hohenzollern areas, which were part of the fortresses of Germersheim, Strasbourg, Neubreisach and Idstein. His tasks in peace included health and medical service in the army and military institutions as well as all preparations and facilities required for military medical service. Organizationally, a distinction was made between the medical service of the troops, which included all units, military authorities, institutions, etc., and the military hospitals. Their administration was shared between the Sanitätsamt and the Korpsintendantur (at the XIV AK, Divisions IV b and VI were responsible), the former being responsible for medical matters, the latter for economic and administrative matters. In the event of war, a deputy corps general physician assumed the tasks, duties and rights of the corps general physician assigned to the field army and thus the responsibility for the organization of the medical service in the home area. In this capacity, he is responsible for the construction of reserve hospitals in suitable buildings, their staffing with medical and nursing staff and the training of substitute reservists as military nurses. If several reserve hospitals were set up in one place, he could delegate the overall management of these hospitals to an older medical officer as reserve hospital director. The latter had to inspect the military hospitals under his authority and to report grievances, which he was not able to rectify on his own responsibility, to the medical office, which in turn informed the deputy directorate if necessary. The deputy general corps physician was also responsible for all voluntary nursing facilities, in particular the club hospitals, convalescent homes and private nursing homes. Her supervision he shared with the Territorial Delegate of Voluntary Nursing. Inventory history: The archive history of the Sanitätsamt des XIV. Armeekorps is identical with that of the Deputy General Command and can be read in the Repertorium Abt. 456 F 8 Stellvertretendes Generalkommando XIV. Armeekorps (1914-1924). The only thing to note here is that, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, the formations of the imperial army had to be dissolved. For this purpose, a civilian authority was created, the so-called Winding-up Office of the former XIV Army Corps, and the dissolution and descendants of the former XIV Army Corps were renamed Winding-up Offices. Accordingly, the department responsible for the Sanitätsamt was the Sanitätsabteilung 14, where the files of the Sanitätsamt and the individual military hospitals were collected until 1922. Via Heilbronn, where the settlement office had been moved to under pressure from the Allies in 1920, the files first reached its successor authority, the Reichsarchiv branch office Heilbronn, after the dissolution of the settlement office in 1921, and via this branch office in 1924 to the Reichsarchiv branch office Stuttgart. According to the register of deportees drawn up there (EV 113), the stock originally comprised 740 units, of which 73 were already indicated as missing in the register of deportees and 59 units were accounted for by the Deputy General Command. Before the XIV Army Corps was handed over to the General State Archive in Karlsruhe in 1949386, 33 of these units were destroyed as part of the General Command IV b. Processing report: The present holdings were recorded in June and July 1989 by the State Archives referees Norbert Haag and Dieter Speck under the guidance and supervision of the undersigned as part of the training for the higher archival service. Thereby 4 federations, which had arisen at the General Command of the XIV Army Corps, Dept. IVb, were eliminated and classified according to provenance. The collection now includes documents from the Sanitary Office XIV Army Corps (Peace), the Sanitary Office XIV Army Corps (War) and the Sanitary Department XIV with a total of 6 metres.

Inventory description: Due to the military convention with Prussia of 23.07.1867, the military commission of the Senate replaced the military deputation. It regulated the relations between the garrison and the Hamburg authorities, and in particular, in agreement with the General Command of the IXth Army Corps, the military replacement system. She was responsible for the respective military substitute commissions. It ceased to exist in 1921. The order, consisting of two registry layers with clearly differentiated structures, is structured as follows: In the Best. 342-1 I become Generalia (Military Commission of the Senate, General Correspondence, mobilization, military transport, march routes, quartering and catering, military budgets, service instructions, taxation of military personnel, military candidate system, personnel changes in the army, Postage freedom and the war with France (1870-1871) separated from Specialia (county replacement, replacement and landwehr, compulsory service, garrison matters, troop exercises, marches through, quarters, soldiers and officials of the former Hamburg contingent and pension and disability matters). The second layer (newer registry) forms the order 342-1 II and knows the following groups: Military commission of the Senate, mobilization, benefits in kind, transport, postage and franking, Reich budgets, service regulations, personnel changes in the army and navy, military and army affairs, garrison affairs, troop exercises and quarters, pensions, navy, acts of war (World War I) and post-war acts.

Inventory description: The political conditions and military events in the countries of Southeastern Europe, as well as the appointment of the General Representative for the Economy in Serbia in May 1941, led to a wide variety of organizational measures in the defense sector. It passed: Wehrwirtschaftsoffizier Preßburg - Slovakia - (1940-1944), Wehrwirtschaftsoffizier Budapest - Hungary - (1941-1945), Höherer Wehrwirtschaftsführer beim Oberbefehlshaber Südost/ Operationsstab" Margarethe (1944)", Military Economics Officer Agram -Kroatioen- (1941-1944), Military Economics Staff Southeast (responsible for Serbia, 1941-1944), Military Economics Officer Albania (1944), Wehrwirtschaftsoffizier Rumänien / Deutsche Wehrwirtschaftsmission (1942-1944), Wehrwirtschaftsoffizier Transnistrien -Odessa-(1941-1942), Wehrwirtschaftsoffizier Sofia -Bulgarien- (1941-1944), Wehrwirtschaftsstab Griechenland (1943-1944), Wehrwirtschaftsoffizier Athen (1941-1943), Wirtschaftskommando, later Wehrwirtschaftsoffizier Saloniki (1941-1943). The main task of the armaments agencies was to use the economy for German armament orders and to cover the needs of the occupying troops. With the retreat of the front in 1944, the responsibility was often transferred to the economic officers of the front units (RW 46). Characterisation of content: RW 29 summarises the traditions of several armaments agencies in South Eastern Europe, as separation was not possible for organisational and registration reasons. As a rule, the war diaries and situation reports range from the listings to mid/late 1944, while those of some agencies only extend up to 1943. Only Wehrwirtschaftsstab Südost has a noteworthy number of records available (13 volumes); among other things, they refer to transport issues. The war diaries, situation reports and the history of the military economic and armament service stations (from 1940 to 1944) were successively removed from the registries during the war and handed over to the "Archiv der Wehrwirtschaftsdienststellen" (last in Muskau/Oberlausitz). Most of the material files remained with the registrar and were presumably destroyed there at the end of the war. The "Archive of Military Economic Offices" was relocated to Vacha/Thuringia in 1945 and confiscated there by the Americans. The return of the documents from the USA to the Federal Republic of Germany took place in 1960. State of development: Findbuch Umfang, Explanation: 116 AU citation method: BArch, RW 29/...

Personal history: When he entered the war school in Ludwigsburg (1855), Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin decided to pursue a military career. After his appointment as lieutenant (1858) he was subordinate to the Generalquartiermeisterstab. Commanded to study at the University of Tübingen for a year, he was temporarily transferred to the Corps of Engineers in Ulm after the outbreak of the French-Austrian War (1859) and soon afterwards to the Generalquartiermeisterstab in Ludwigsburg. After various journeys, including to the scenes of the American Civil War, Count Zeppelin was promoted to the Adjutant's Office of King Charles in 1865. At his own request, in April 1868 he was assigned to the tactical department of the Great General Staff in Berlin, but already in the autumn of the following year he was recalled to the Württemberg General Quartermaster Staff. At the beginning of the Franco-German war in 1870/71, Count Zeppelin was assigned to the Württemberg cavalry brigade as a general staff officer. His daring exploration ride through Alsace on 24/25 July 1870 and its distribution in the national press made Count Zeppelin famous and popular for the first time in wide sections of the population. After the war he was entrusted with changing commandos over various cavalry regiments until 1884 when he was appointed colonel of the Württemberg military in Berlin. Allegedly because of an unsuccessful manoeuvre, Count Zeppelin retired in 1890 at the age of 52 as General à la suite of the King of Württemberg. During the American Civil War and in Paris in 1870, Count Zeppelin had become acquainted with the military use of open-air balloons. Already in 1887 he had developed his ideas about the possibilities of airship travel in a memorandum presented to the King of Württemberg. His first airship (LZ 1) ascended on 2 July 1900. In 1906 LZ 2 and LZ 3 started, both designed by the engineer Ludwig Dürr. Graf Zeppelin suffered a severe setback on August 5, 1908, when LZ 4 went up in flames on his 24-hour journey to Echterdingen after loading. Graf Zeppelin achieved the final breakthrough and general social recognition of his idea with the launch of LZ 5, which landed in Berlin on August 25, 1909. With regard to military deployment, Graf Zeppelin had considerably overestimated the possibilities of his airships: 72 of the 96 airships built during the war were lost. Nevertheless, Count Zeppelin accused Reich Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg of obstructing the full deployment of the airships against England. The only letter of Count Zeppelin received in this estate also refers to this controversy with the Reich government that arose shortly before his death (1917). Inventory history: Count Zeppelin's only daughter Hella had married Alexander von Brandenstein in 1909. At least a part of the estate listed here must have been in their possession or that of their heirs, because some archival records were marked with the stamp "Graf von Brandenstein-Zeppelin'sches Familienarchiv". The estate of Count Zeppelin in M 660/157, which comprises 14 archive units (0.1 m), was recorded in September 1994.Stuttgart, in September 1994Dr. Margit Müller

Posten with homemade gun in D e u t s c h - O s t a f r i k a during the First World War / Photographer: Scherl

Preliminary remark: This collection comprises documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the general and interdepartmental foreign policy of Württemberg with regard to non-German states in Europe and the rest of the world. This also includes the Empire of Austria (-Hungary), which already owned large non-German territories when it was founded in 1804/06 and which left Germany completely after the war against Prussia in 1866. Documents on the remaining states of the Confederation of the Rhine, the German Confederation and the German Empire from 1871 onwards - including Prussia (as a whole) - were to a large extent assigned to holdings E 40/14, while those on the Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine in the period 1871 - 1918 are again to be found in holdings E 40/16. The holdings essentially consist of the following parts:E 36 Verz. 60: Relevant parts of the categories "France" and "Austria "E 41 Verz. 63: Category "Different States" with sub-categories, if they are non-German statesE 46 (Categories by States)E 49 Verz. 21 and 22 (Categories by States)E 49 Supplement 1938A detailed history of the authorities of the Ministry can be found in the preface to fonds E 40/10, to which reference is made here.the country categories correspond to the composition of the world of states in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Numerous Italian small and medium-sized states, for example, are found as predecessors of the Kingdom of Italy for the first half of the 19th century as separate categories. Documents on the colonial possessions of various European states can be found both under the heading of the motherland and under their own headings (Australia, South Africa), but for reasons of content not all documents filed under the "country headings" were classified in the holdings E 40/14 or E 40/18. If the files did not contain any general political or interdepartmental matters, they were classified in the holdings E 40/54 - E 40/78. Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl began the formation and archival cataloguing of the holdings, which was later continued by the undersigned. The newly formed stock now comprises 540 tufts or 6.21 linear metres of shelving. Stuttgart, February 2011Johannes Renz b) nationality mark: A]Austria [AUS]Australia [BG]Bulgaria [BIH]Bosnia-Herzegovina [BR]Brazil [CH]Switzerland [CHN]People's Republic of China [CZ]Czech Republic [DK]Denmark [DZ]Algeria [E]Spain [ET]Egypt [F]France [GB]Great Britain and Northern Ireland [GEO]Georgia [GR]Greece [H]Hungary I]Italy [IND]India [IR]Iran [IRL]Ireland [J]Japan [MA]Morocco [NL]Netherlands [PE]Peru [PL]Poland [PY]Paraguay [RA]Argentina [RO]Romania [RUS]Russia [SYR]Syria [TR]Turkey [UA]Ukraine [USA]United States of America

Preliminary remark: With the foundation of the German Reich in January 1871 and the establishment of the Foreign Office as an imperial institution, the powers of the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs were severely restricted and most Württemberg missions abroad were dissolved in the following years. However, through official correspondence with various institutions of the North German Confederation and later of the German Reich, numerous documents were gathered from which the present holdings were formed. This consists of the following parts:E 36 Verz. F (only one file)E 46 "B[andes] A[ngelegenheiten]", formerly Bü 251 - 590 und 1265 - 1266 (m. L.)E 49 Verz. 3 "B[andes] A[ngelegenheiten]"E 49 Verz. 22, rubrics "Bundesr[at]" and "Reich "A detailed history of the ministry can be found in the preface to fonds E 40/10, to which reference is made here.Since the North German Federation, like the Second German Reich, was already dominated by Prussia, the year 1866, in which the German Federation was finally dissolved and Austria's supremacy in Germany ended, appeared as a suitable border year for the General Acts on General Foreign Policy. In the end, the collection reaches back to the time of the early Weimar Republic, since a border year of 1918 became superfluous due to the dissolution of the ministry in 1920. The documents cover all general matters concerning the North German Federation (from 1867) and the German Reich (from 1871). This also includes the files concerning the imperial legations and consulates, which partially replaced the Württemberg missions abroad (cf. holdings E 50/00 - E 50/61 as well as E 65 - E 75). However, the documents concerning relations with the individual German federal states are not included in the inventory. Since here a considerable number of files chronologically exceed the "cut-off year" 1866/67 on both sides, a separation did not seem to make sense here. Questions of territory with the neighbouring states of Württemberg for the period of the early Kingdom of Württemberg are to be found in inventory E 40/11 (acquisitions of territory from 1806 onwards), later smaller border clearings and general foreign policy relations with the other German federal states in inventory E 40/14. The section "German Affairs 1866 - 1871", in which the ministerial tradition of the emergence of the Second German Empire and in particular the wars waged in the run-up to it (German War 1866 and Franco-German War 1870/71) is located, was again completely added to inventory E 40/72 (war matters and military matters), since here the political and military aspects are extremely closely interlinked. Numerous other documents on Württemberg's relations with Prussia, the North German Federation, its position as the federal state of the German Reich and its involvement in federal affairs within the framework of the Bundesrat are kept in inventory E 74 (Württemberg Embassy in Berlin), since the respective Württemberg envoy in Berlin was at the same time also authorized representative to the Bundesrat. In these cases, it is therefore possible to speak in part of a counter tradition to the existing stock, which now comprises 841 tufts or 16.30 linear metres of shelving. Most of the title recordings were made by Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl at the end of the 1990s. The final editorial office was provided by the undersigned.

History of the Ministry: The Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs, initially also known as the Cabinet Ministry and headed by two ministers, had existed since January 1, 1806. According to the Organization Manifesto of January 18, 1806, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Württemberg" since then. March 1806 it had "all negotiations with foreigners, the maintenance and strict observance of existing treatises, correspondence with foreign ministers, the execution of the King's public correspondence with other regents and governors, the affairs of the royal house, the ceremonial with foreigners, the ceremonial inside, the management of the postal service, matters of the order, raising of rank, the use for the royal subjects abroad, issuing of passports and certification of documents intended for the same". It also supervised the police in the residences of Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg. By decree of 12 February 1812, this area was separated from the Ministry and an independent Ministry of Police with extended powers was set up. 8 November 1816, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was responsible for the organisation of the Privy Council, which was essentially the tasks described in the organisational manifesto. Only the post office was subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior, as far as it did not fall within the area of the House of Thurn und Taxis. The Chancellor of the Order, usually the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was now responsible for the affairs of the Order, while the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and of the Interior shared responsibility for the administration of the affairs of the nobility. A Royal Rescript of 19 July 1819 approved the division of the Ministry's internal service into two sections, a general political section and a legal section. The latter was responsible for political and diplomatic relations, the latter for consular and international legal assistance. The Transport Department, established in 1864 alongside the Political Department, supervised the general directorates of the Württemberg Posts and Telegraphs and the State Railways. The Ministry also included the envoys, consuls and other diplomatic agents, the Haus- und Staatsarchiv, the Lehenrat and the Zensurkommission until its abolition in 1848. After the foundation of the Reich in 1871, the Ministry continued to exist with limited responsibilities. After the President's decree had merged the Chancellery of the Political Department with that of the State Ministry with effect from 1 January 1920, the Foreign Ministry was finally abolished by the Act of 29 April 1920; the remaining tasks fell to the State Ministry. The overall registry: The records of the political department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were arranged according to a classification scheme. Within the individual categories, the files were usually arranged chronologically according to main fascicles, which in turn were arranged and numbered according to subfascicles. The headings could change over time (e.g. "uses"). If the order in the registry of the ministry had already been disturbed, it became completely unclear due to the numerous deliveries between 1872 and 1938 to the Haus- und Staatsarchiv; because these ministerial files, sometimes mixed with documents of subordinate authorities, were distributed among the holdings between E 36 and E 65, depending on the date of delivery. The order begun in the 1960s has the aim of forming "classified inventories" according to the categories used in the Foreign Ministry. The categories that belong together are grouped together in one inventory, whereas the categories "Varia" and "Uses" are dissolved and classified under the corresponding categories. Found condition and formation of the inventory E 40/72: The inventory E40/72 consists of the following categories:1. "War material" from the inventories E 36 Verz. 18, E 46 and E 52, extent approx. 3.3 running m2. "German Affairs 1866-1871" from the inventory E 41 I. Appendix, volume approx. 2.5 m3. "War" (concerning I. World War) from the inventory E 49 Verz. 12, circumference approx. 7.5 m4. "Uses" and "Varia" (concerning military matters) as well as documents without recognizable registry designations from the holdings E 36 Verz. 14 and 58, E 41 Verz. 63 and E 49 Delivery 1938, volume approx. 0.7 linear metres. m Accordingly, the larger part of the holdings consists of documents from the First World War. Obviously the formation of the registry at the ministry could not keep up with the general temporal development, because under the file number "War 1 General" serial files were formed, which comprised 41 bundles (altogether 5.5 m) with 16339 quadrangles when the ministry was abolished. The situation was similar with the file number "Krieg 4 Kriegsziele und Friedensschluss" (war 4 war aims and peace agreement) (a total of 1.5 m), although a distinction was made between general files and the classification by states. It was only gradually, especially towards the end of the war, that the creation of files was begun; documents were also taken from the general files, and it was therefore necessary to dissolve these two large blocks in favour of the principle of files. Moisture and mold damages were determined in places, whereby after consultation higher place with larger damages, above all with threatening further writing loss the documents were copied. Gaps in the general files are also striking; indications suggest that some documents were subsequently added to the legation files and to the "federal files" (B. A. ); individual secret files kept in the "iron cabinet" seem to have been lost. The extensive collection of newspaper clippings, which is now to be found in the fact files and represents a unique documentation, is also worth mentioning. Since the total stock E 40/72 is composed of chronologically arranged rubrics, the classification according to the principle of the fact files appeared necessary here as well; however, overlaps could not be completely avoided. Files from the Conference and Army Ministries were added to the holdings E 272 and E 273, documents from the provenance of the War Ministry were handed over to the Military Archives, and only duplicates and blank sheets were collected. Pagination applied to various clusters of the total stock has become obsolete. Stuttgart, July 1997Wilfried Braunn Preliminary remark for the new edition of the Findbuch 2011: During the incorporation of the oldest delivery of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (former signature E 36) into the new inventory structure in 2007, it turned out that in particular in Verz. 60, which was arranged exclusively according to country categories, there were numerous other files concerning war and military matters. Since the content of these documents did not differ significantly from that of the documents already contained in E 40/72, a general classification in the holdings on general foreign policy (E 40/14 or E 40/18) did not appear to be in the spirit of the new resistance structure drawn up in the 1990s. In order to ensure that the structure of the inventory can also be traced from the user's point of view, these supplements were therefore incorporated into the existing inventory and the finding aid book was reissued due to its extensive growth. Minor content overlaps arise with holdings E 40/54 (police) in relation to rural policing and gendarmerie matters and E 40/59 (deduction, emigration and immigration, travel, citizenship) in relation to Württembergers in foreign military services (e.g. Foreign Legion) and the obligation of Württembergers to conscribe abroad. 1074 tufts or 16.0 linear metres of shelving are now held in the holdings.Stuttgart, March 2011Johannes Renz

Formation history: The task of this stage was to supply the army by supplying it with armed forces and other army needs. The resources and supplies of the theatre of war could also be used. To each army belonged a stage inspection; to independent corps and/or army departments a stage command. The stage area was again subdivided into stage command posts, whose remit corresponded to that of a stage inspection. The documents of the following stage commandantures have been handed down in the inventory:Mobile Stage Command Office 43 [Colmar] including the District Directorate Colmar;Mobile Stage Command Office 64 [Laon];Mobile Stage Command Office 84 [Sissonne];Mobile Stage Command Office 104 [Schlettstadt];Mobile Stage Command Office 124 [Villerupt];Mobile Stage Command Office 140 [Busigny];Mobile Stage Command Office 167 [Vervins];Mobile stage command post 172 [Mulhouse in Alsace];Mobile stage command post 173 [Schirmeck];Mobile stage command post 184 [Flobecq];Mobile stage command post 185 [Müllheim];Mobile stage command post 279 [Virton];Mobile stage command post 297 [Arlon];Mobile stage command post 363 [Maniewicze].In addition to the documents of the mobile stage commandant's offices responsible for the stage area, the files of the district director Colmar on the implementation of the surveillance of the civilian population and the recording of the hostages abducted by the French are of particular interest. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files of the mobile stage commandant's offices remained with the Leib-Grenadier Regiment 109. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps was begun, in which the archives of the stage commandant's offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archives Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 460 fascicles with a circumference of 8.80 linear metres are included.
