Formation history: By order of the "Army Group Gaede", control of border traffic between the Grand Duchy of Baden and Switzerland was organised militarily as early as October 1914. The catenary of the border guard was transferred to Colonel von Liebenstein. The staff began its work on 2 November 1914 in Lörrach. Landstorm units were assigned to him to fulfil his tasks. The scope of duties included protection against the import and export of unauthorized information, the prevention of espionage, the surveillance of the movement of goods, the control of persons and the search for deserters and escaped prisoners of war. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained with the clearinghouse of the infantry regiment 114. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps began, in which the archives of the clearinghouses 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). 20 fascicles with a circumference of 0.30 linear metres are included in the holdings.

On April 21, 1933, Hitler appointed his personal secretary Rudolf Hess, the former head of the "Political Central Commission" of the NSDAP, as "deputy of the Führer" and authorized him to decide in his name on all matters concerning the leadership of the party. The main task of the deputy leader and his staff, formed at the headquarters of the NSDAP in Munich, was to "align the Gauleitungen, divisions and affiliated associations of the NSDAP uniformly and to give them political guidelines"(1) This function of a central authority of the internal party leadership had to be fought for and defended first and foremost against the resistance of the Reichsorganisationsleiter Robert Ley, who regarded himself as the main heir of Gregor Strasser and his concentration of power within the party. (2) The "NSDAP liaison staff" set up on 24 March 1933 in the former building of the Prussian State Ministry in Berlin was subordinated to Hess and subsequently served as the Berlin office of the Führer's deputy, without achieving or even exceeding the importance of the Munich staff, also with regard to the later coordination functions vis-à-vis the Reich government. As was already the case when Hess was commissioned to head the Central Political Commission, which had been created at the end of 1932 after Gregor Strasser's dissolution of the Reichsorganisationsleitung, which had developed into a central party-internal power apparatus, as a supervisory organ for its previous main departments III and IV,(3) Hitler's appointment of his private secretary as deputy to the leader was by no means intended to strengthen the position of the party or its Reichsleitung within the National Socialist power structure. While the comparatively generous endowment of the deputy leader's central authority of the party leadership should undoubtedly also serve to curb the power ambitions of other, personally stronger party leaders, the personality of Hess, who had always been a devoted follower of his leader without any independent power within the party leadership, offered a guarantee that a center of power alongside Hitler, as it threatened to develop in the short term in 1932 with Gregor Strasser's rise to "a kind of general secretary of the party with comprehensive powers of attorney" (4), could no longer emerge in the future. Hess could not speak of a supremacy over other "law firms" (law firm of the leader of the NSDAP, Reich Chancellery and - after Hindenburg's death - Presidential Chancellery). Even the later use of the central competences of the office of the deputy of the Führer under the energetic and ruthless leadership of Martin Bormann to develop his known personal position of power could only succeed, since Bormann consciously built up his position, but never only that of Hitler. Rudolf Hess, who was personally rather weak, was, however, granted comprehensive powers in state affairs by the Law of 1 December 1933 on Securing the Unity of Party and State. Like Röhm, the head of the SA staff, Hess was appointed Reich Minister without a portfolio in order to "ensure the closest cooperation between the Party and the State".(5) The position of the deputy leader was decisively strengthened by Hitler's unpublished circular of 27 March, which was issued by the Reichsminister in Berlin. On July 7, 1934, "the deputy of the Führer, Reich Minister Rudolf Hess", was given the position of a "participating" Reich Minister in the legislation without exception.(6) This gave Hess the opportunity to comment on all drafts of laws and ordinances and to assert the party's position. By the "Erlass über die Beteiligung des Stellvertreter des Führers bei der Ernennung von Beamten" (Decree on the Participation of the Deputy Fuehrer in the Appointment of Civil Servants) of 24 September 1935 (7), Hitler also ordered Hess to participate in the appointment of Reich and Land officials in such a way that he received a copy of the proposal for promotion or appointment with more detailed information about the civil servant and was granted a reasonable period of time to comment. As a rule, this deadline was used to obtain the opinion of the local party organisation, particularly on the political position of the candidate. After this decisive expansion of competence, the office of the deputy leader, whose staff comprised "two, three men" when Martin Bormann took over the leadership of the staff in July 1933, (8) took on firmer contours. In 1937, the deputy of the Führer or his staff leader, Reichsleiter Martin Bormann, was headed by Rudolf Mackensen, the staff manager, and a number of clerks, representatives, special representatives, heads of offices, and other officials, only some of whom served exclusively on the staff of the Führer's deputy, while the vast majority headed party institutions that only formally served Hess or (9) The latter included (1937): Main Archive of the NSDAP: Head of Headquarters Dr. Uetrecht The Head of the Foreign Organization of the NSDAP: Gauleiter Bohle The Commissioner for Foreign Policy Issues: Ambassador von Ribbentrop The Commissioner for all Issues of Technology and its Organization: Head of Headquarters Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. G.

In addition to the already mentioned office of the deputy of the Führer in Berlin (liaison staff under head of the main office Stenger), there were also: Special representative of the deputy of the Führer: head of the main office Oexle Representatives for special use (e.g. V.): head of the main office Brockhausen and head of the main office Seidel (Nazi camp for civil servants in Tutzing and Reich camp for civil servants in Bad Tölz). De facto, the Munich office of the deputy leader's deputy consisted essentially of two parts, in addition to the leadership of the staff and the adjutants: Internal party affairs and constitutional issues. According to the published organisational overviews, they were headed by 'clerks', referred to as 'Division II or Division III' in the secret business distribution plans (10 ). During the preparation of this finding aid book, a business distribution plan (1938) of Division II, headed from March 1934 until the end of the war by Helmuth Friedrichs, former Gaug Managing Director of the NSDAP in the Gau Hessen-Kassel region, was determined for the first time for the office of the deputy leader's deputy. There the organisational level below the department level was also called "department" instead of "group" or "main office" as was later the case.

For the Department for Questions of Constitutional Law (Division III) set up in the summer of 1934 after the transfer of the authority to participate in the preparation of state legislation, there is no business distribution plan for the office of the deputy of the Führer. In the 1938 and 1939 National Socialist Yearbooks, in addition to the "official in charge of questions of state law", Hauptamtsleiter Sommer, the heads of the departments Dr. Johann Müller, Heim and von Helms are only listed as heads of department (11) This department, which was responsible for "supervising" the legislation and personnel policy of the Reich government, was subdivided, analogous to the individual ministries, into respective organisational units (groups or main offices, offices, main offices) for domestic, legal and economic policy. Since it could itself be regarded as a part of the state administration in terms of civil servant and budgetary law and had almost exclusively to do with draft laws and civil servant issues, it was obvious for Hess to entrust the work of this department to experienced administrative officials with legal knowledge. At the request of the deputy of the Führer, the officials were transferred from the respective Reich or Land departments to the staff of the deputy of the Führer. Until 1941, Head of Division III was the administrative lawyer Walther Sommer in the rank of Ministerial Councillor; his successor became State Secretary Dr. Gerhard Klopfer in 1941. Due to the composition and origin of the staff, Division III was hardly in a position to bring about the originally intended implementation of a radical party position in state legislation and civil servant policy. Rather, we can speak of a mediating function between party offices and ministries. Within this framework, the public authorities expected "their" officials transferred to the staff of the deputy leader to have a supportive influence on the responsible NSDAP department, which was usually actually exercised (12). Nonetheless, it is beyond doubt that the party's right to participate in the appointment and promotion of civil servants, from which only the Wehrmacht was able to keep itself free, had a considerable influence on the civil service and, among other things, had to impair its traditional view of service. Immediately after the England flight of his deputy Rudolf Hess, Hitler made the order on 12 May 1941 that the previous office of the Führer's deputy should bear the name "Party Chancellery" and be subordinated to him personally. The leader was "as before Reichsleiter Martin Bormann" (13). In his decree of 29 May 1941 "On the Position of the Head of the Party Chancellery" Hitler specified "in order to ensure the closest cooperation of the Party Chancellery with the Supreme Reich Authorities: The Head of the Party Chancellery, Reichsleiter Martin Bormann, has the powers of a Reich Minister, he is a member of the Reich Government and of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Reich". Hitler then affirmed that the previous head of staff of the office of the deputy leader's deputy did not receive the title of his former superior, but rather all of his powers: "Where in laws, ordinances, decrees, orders and other orders the deputy leader's deputy is named, he shall be replaced by the head of the Party Chancellery" (14). According to the NSDAP's self-image, the Party Chancellery was Hitler's office in his capacity as leader of the party. Their Hitler leader, who was directly responsible for Hitler, had "to process all fundamental plans and suggestions from the area of the party centrally" for Hitler. The instructions issued by Hitler himself or prepared on his behalf for the entire party were sent exclusively via Bormann to the departments responsible for implementation. Not only the political leadership of the party, but also all work arising from the party's supremacy towards the state was to be done in the party chancellery. During the war, these tasks included, as a matter of course, the "versatile deployment of the party organs in total internal warfare" and the work of the party in the integrated and occupied territories. In addition to the party and the Wehrmacht, the focus of the jurisdiction of the party chancellery was on "securing the unity of party and state" (15). In the Ordinance of 29 May 1941 on the Implementation of the Decree of the Führer on the Position of the Head of the Party Chancellery, the Reich Minister and Head of the Reich Chancellery Lammers and the Head of the Party Chancellery ordered the following on 16 January 1942: (16) The Party's participation in the legislation was to be effected exclusively through the head of the Party Chancellery, unless Hitler determined otherwise in individual cases. Proposals and suggestions from the area of the Party, its divisions and affiliated associations could only be forwarded via Bormann, the responsible ministries and other supreme Reich authorities, as far as the legislation was concerned. This practically amounted to a concentration of power on the person of Bormann. The party also played a central role in processing the personal data of the civil servants. In any case, the head of the Party Chancellery had the position of a b e t e i l t e Reich Minister in the preparation of state legislation in legislative work. This also applied to the laws and ordinances of the provinces and governors of the empire. In addition to these formal competences, it was stipulated that, in matters other than legislative matters, the communication between the supreme Reich and Land authorities, insofar as these were responsible regionally for several districts of the NSDAP, on the one hand, and the services of the Party, its divisions and affiliated associations, on the other hand, took place solely via Bormann if these were "fundamental and political questions". Direct traffic was expressly declared inadmissible. Thus an instrument of power equipped with far-reaching competences came under the exclusive leadership of an energetic party functionary who was just as servile upwards as he was after him under brutally ruthless party officials, who of course used it as far as possible to expand his own position of power, which of course was not exclusively based on his position as head of the party office. Bormann's rise from organizer of illegal Freikorpsgruppen and Feme desk murderers to head of the relief fund of the NSDAP and finally to chief of staff of the Führer's deputy, his constant approach to the person of Hitler - from the administration of Hitler personally from various sources funds available, the conversion of the House of Wachenfeld to the "Berghof" and "Berghof" respectively. the expansion of the entire Obersalzberg complex into Hitler's summer residence, up to Hitler's constant company in the Führer's headquarters or "special Führer train" during the war - cannot be traced here in detail (17). The coupling of these two functions - the leadership of the political coordination centre of the party (staff of the deputy leader or party chancellery) and Hitler's constant support and advice, also in personal matters - formed the basis of Bormann's special position of power, which could not easily be equated with the strengthening of the party leadership as such. Structurally, even an energetic head of staff or head of the party office was unable to change the desolate weakness of the NSDAP's Reich leadership. Even under Bormann, the party chancellery did not develop into an all-powerful, bureaucratic command center comparable to communist politburo. Bormann's special position was based on the personal, independent power of attorney as Hitler's personal clerk, which was institutionalized on April 12, 1943 with Bormann's official appointment as "Secretary of the Führer" (18). From Bormann's dominant position in the Führer's headquarters - not actually from his function as head of the Party Chancellery - the path led to the Super and Control Minister of the Reich Government, when the Bormann was not only seen by dissatisfied party and contemporaries in the final years of the war, but is also portrayed in historical studies on the Nazi regime in general (19). The two-pronged organisational structure of the office of the leader's deputy, which was essentially based on the two departments for internal party affairs and for questions of constitutional law, remained basically unchanged, even under the name of the party chancellery. In Division II, the following groups or main offices were added in accordance with the expansion of the tasks: II M (Reich Defence, Planning of Operations for the War Tasks of the Party), II W (Fundamental Questions of the Wehrmacht, Liaison Office to the OKW), II E (Foreign and People's Growth Work of the Party, including Occupied Territories), II F (Nazi Leadership in the Wehrmacht and Nazi Lead Officers) and II V (Staff Leadership Volkssturm). The offices II C and IID, on the other hand, which dealt with the party's junior leaders and personnel issues, were merged to form the II P office. The organisational overview of Division II given below is essentially taken from a note in Division III of 11 April 1945. The offices II A 2, 3 and 5 as well as II B 6 and II W 1 - 4 no longer listed there were supplemented from earlier business distribution plans from 1942 and 1944. Apart from a few exceptions, the names given as heads of organizational units originate from a plan for the introduction of dictation marks dated 26 March 1942 (20) and a telephone directory of 20 Jan 1945 (21), divided into departments and official groups/main offices.

Externally, the three departments of the Party Chancellery continued to appear as "managing directors, internal party affairs officers and constitutional affairs officers". In addition to these three departments, which de facto constituted the "Party Chancellery" office, the published organisational overviews also continued to include other institutions de iure as parts of the Party Chancellery, which in practice developed as relatively independent independent entities or whose heads did not appear in their Party Chancellery function or appeared only marginally.

Inventory description: Inventory history of written records management in the party office Although file plans and other registry aids have only been handed down in fragments for certain periods of time, even then, a clear picture of the written records management of the Hess and Bormann offices can be drawn. A file plan from the year 1937 is divided into two main areas (10 party, 20 state) and then divided into four levels according to the subject system. Files that could have been listed according to this plan, which was valid until about 1940, are only preserved in the form of single sheets or small processes, so that this file plan was of no particular importance for the indexing of the holdings. On the other hand, an excerpt from the file plan for matters of Reich defence (1) dating from 1939 proved to be a useful aid. It provides for up to 80 small subject series, of which 3 to 18 each are grouped into five groups (operational planning, subject areas, defence, preparation of mobilisation and general affairs); finally, collective folders for routine processes could be created as required. The systematic weaknesses that are typical of small subject series became clearly apparent in the distortion. The division of the records into "destination files", "auxiliary files" and "files for correspondence" is not convincing and could be neglected in the listing of the files of the competent Division M and Group II M respectively. File plans for the mass of the surviving records, i.e. from the time of the Party Chancellery (1941 - 1945), have not been preserved. After all, Rotulus sheets preserved for a sub-area with titles to essentially completed processes show the systematics of the underlying file plan (2). Rotulus leaves for the file numbers 1010/0 to 3230/4 have been preserved, whereby a further stage in the numerical classification was partly formed. The classification was based on the department principle. The file plan was used until the end of the war, as the comparatively closed tradition from Department III shows, and was observed in principle. The reference number consisted of the name of the respective organizational unit and the file number. The fate of the holdings since the conquest of Germany by the Allies corresponds to the history of German contemporary historical sources in the war and post-war period in general. Perhaps there is a specific feature typical of the existence of a political party in that self-destruction by party functionaries accounts for a larger proportion than destruction by enemy action. Of course, the acts of annihilation cannot be proven in detail. Since 1955, the Federal Archives have received splinter-like remnants and a few closed groups of records, essentially from offices of the victorious powers USA and Great Britain, to a lesser extent from authorities and universities in the Federal Republic of Germany, as well as about two dozen individual donations from private holdings, whereby takeovers from other holdings of the Federal Archives are added. In 1955, the Federal Archives took over copies of letters from the Chief of the Security Police and the SD to Bormann, of judgments handed over to Bormann by the Reich Minister of Justice, and of other documents from the Provenance Party Chancellery, all relating to events in connection with the assassination attempt on Hitler on July 20, 1944, all of which - supplemented by a small amount of material from private collections - were combined in the NS 6 "Party Chancellery of the NSDAP" as a special "Collection July 20, 1944" due to their common provenance. The originals of these documents, which had already been transferred to the main archive of the NSDAP before the end of the war, were received by the Bundesarchiv in 1962 in the course of the repatriation of German files from the Federal Records Center in Alexandria, Virginia (USA). These historically highly significant materials were already made accessible in detail by Jürgen Huck in November 1955. His title recordings have been completely incorporated into this finding aid book (p. 94 ff.). The other contributions come from the University Library of Heidelberg, the American Document Center in Berlin, the Federal Records Center in Alexandria, Virginia, and the National Archives of the United States in Washington, D.C., the Library of Congress there, and the British file depot in Whaddon Hall. In addition, there were a large number of smaller statements from German authorities and private owners. The holdings received a larger increase in the course of many years of organizing work from other holdings of the Federal Archives, above all from the NS 26 holdings (main archive of the NSDAP) and the "Schumacher Collection", which is to be dissolved altogether. In total, no more than 5 documents of the Party Chancellery should be preserved in the Federal Archives. This rough estimate may disregard the registries of the State Secretary Reinhardt in his capacity as "representative of the deputy of the leader or of the Party Chancellery for matters of job creation, financial and tax policy" and his personal adviser Dr. Hans Gündel, who was head of Group III E Public Finances in the Party Chancellery, remaining in inventory R 2 (Reich Ministry of Finance). Comments: (1) Both file plans in NS 6/69. (2) NS 6/803 - 804. Archival processing While the "Collection 20. July 1944" and which became known according to their core as "Kaltenbrunner Reports", were subjected to a detailed indexing, which already led in 1955 to a finding aid book with a detailed introduction and comprehensive index, the remaining parts of the inventory, fed by a multitude of duties and takeovers, were first recorded in the order of access, provided with provisional signatures, and in some cases marked summarily in terms of content - whereby, if available, the delivery directories of the delivering agency, for example the "Kaltenbrunner Reports", were usually followed. B. of the US Document Center -, Z. T. however, also downright according to archivfachlichen points of view registered. The final organizing and indexing work now carried out on this stock could therefore only partly be concerned with recording a number of accesses that had not been indexed at all up to now. The main task was rather the consolidation, standardisation and, in particular, the overall classification of the archival records - also from other holdings of the Federal Archives - which had been divided into numerous accesses and indexed to varying degrees of intensity up to that point, and which naturally necessitated an examination, but mostly also a reformulation, of the provisional titles found. This applied in particular when, on the one hand, the dissolution of predefined archive units, which had previously only been described in summary form and which had mostly been formed formally in Allied custody, into individual processes was offered, and, on the other hand, the combination of scattered parts of processes into processes or also of scattered individual processes into uniform series, some of which were provided for by the file plan, became possible. The intensive recording to Bormann of the reports of the Chief of the Security Police and the SD on the events in connection with the assassination attempt on 20 July 1944, made almost thirty years ago, was taken over in the finding aid book. Since, of course, it was not necessary to index the remaining components at this extraordinary depth, this complex of archival records described in Section C 8.1 continues to occupy a special position within the holdings, which is also clearly discernible according to formal criteria. This can be justified both on the basis of the exceptional importance of the documented object, proven by the very high user frequency, and on the remarkable quality of the sources. The "originals" of the above-mentioned documents, which arrived in the Federal Archives considerably later (1962) - the indexing in 1955 had been done on the basis of copies taken over from the Federal Archives at the time and made in American custody - had been formed according to American principles of order and were provided with their own provisional archive signatures in the Federal Archives. They have now been adapted to the order and distortion as they were created in 1955 for the distortion of the corresponding copies. This adaptation also extends to the signatures, so that the found distortion of the copies can also be applied without any restriction to the corresponding volume of originals - which now bears the same signature. In principle, attempts were made to adopt predefined registry units, to retain grown processes as archive units, and to use existing titles as a basis for title formation during indexing wherever possible. This attempt, however, could essentially only succeed with the organically grown written material from the years after 1940/41 handed down from Division III in the areas of "Foreign Trade" (C 12), "Money and Capital Markets" (C 14), "Construction Industry" (C 18) and "Housing Construction, Housing Management, Settlements" (C 19) - i.e. from the offices III B 1 and III B 2 - with limitations also in the surviving records of the main offices and the main offices with restrictions. Groups II M (mobilization of the party and distribution of the Reich) and II F (Nazi leadership and education of the Wehrmacht). As a rule, only scattered and incoherent remnants from the other organisational units, i.e. also from the registries of the deputy leader, his staff leader or the head of the party chancellery, the department heads, from the groups II A and II B concerned with the actual party leadership in the narrower sense, as well as from the years 1933 to 1936 in general, reached the holdings. Here, therefore, there was only the choice of registering individual pieces as such - if the historical value made it appear justified - or of combining documents that belonged together thematically or according to formal criteria to form artificial processes in which either the documented object or the formal criterion (e.g. Führer's discussions with Bormann, templates for Reichsleiter Bormann, lectures by Friedrich's head of department to the Führer's deputy) were decisive for the process formation. The relatively complete and complete series of orders, decrees and circulars of the deputy of the leader or of the party chancellery is of central importance not only with regard to the overall wrecked tradition of the entire collection, but also because of its outstanding independent source value. The information contained in these documents (cf. Section C 1) on all areas of the Party Chancellery's leadership and administrative activities was primarily intended for higher Nazi functionaries and constitutes a high-quality collection of sources, both in terms of quality and quantity, for research into the ruling apparatus of both the NSDAP and the Nazi regime in Germany, which could be used not only for special studies on Hess and Bormann's offices, but also for a variety of questions in the research of the Nazi era. It therefore seemed advisable not to leave it - under the influence of the party announcements printed in the Reichsverfügungsblatt - with a conventional recording of titles by volume, which was limited to chronological information, but to make the content of both the subject matter and the text of the decrees, orders and circulars as accessible as possible using the possibilities of automatic data processing. The result of this indexing will be presented in the second part of this finding aid book, while in the first part the series of party announcements will be recorded and listed in purely chronological order within the overall systematics of the stock (Section C 1). As far as possible, the classification of the records is based on the remaining business distribution plans of Divisions II and III. The "regulatory registration principle" was applied insofar as, for practical reasons, it proved necessary to provide for several development sections (Sections C 18 and C 19) at a relatively low organisational level (e.g. head office III B 2 c) in the case of relatively dense parts of the transmission from offices III B 1 and III B 2. In organisational areas with a ruinous tradition, on the other hand, written records of several groups were sometimes combined, e.g. groups II F and II W in section C 5. It goes without saying that in cases in which a classification was not formally possible due to a lack of business signs or due to the dissolution of the registry discipline at the end of the war, a decision was made on the basis of factual aspects. This applies in particular to the documents in connection with 20 July, which went directly to Bormann at the Führer's headquarters without any noteworthy processing by the Party Chancellery and from there went directly to the main archive of the NSDAP. In the classification scheme of the index they now appear under the generic term "Combating political opponents by security police and SD", although an assignment to Bormann's reference files in Chapter B would also have been conceivable. This applies mutatis mutandis to the documents relating to general party management matters, which are combined under "Management, Adjutant's Office" and in Sections C 2 and C 3 and for which there was no recognisable regulatory approach - not even in the form of a reference number - to registration. As it were, those documents were appended to the inventory under the designation "Special Tasks" which did not arise from Bormann's activity as head of the Party Chancellery, but were related to Bormann's activity as an administrator of Hitler's private assets. These are remnants of the traditions of the equipment of the planned "Führer Museum" in Linz and the recovery of the art treasures already "acquired" for this purpose, as well as a few files from the management of the "Führerstiftung Wohnungsbau Linz" and the administration of the "Führerbauten" on the Obersalzberg. A total of three concordances not only ensure that certain signatures of the holdings can be easily identified in the finding aid book (Concordance I), but also guarantee that archival documents cited after Allied signatures (Concordance II), after the provisional numbers of the Federal Archives or after earlier signatures from other holdings of the Federal Archives (Concordance III) remain easily accessible. In principle, an inventory of the Federal Archives is to be used according to the Federal Archives' specially prepared finding aids, since the Allied signatures indicated, for example, in the American "Guides to German Records microfilmed at Alexandria" or other finding aids for confiscated German files, mostly represent an outdated state of order of the files and can only be used for ordering American microfilms. For practical reasons, it should still be possible in individual cases to move from the Allied signature possibly cited in publications to the signature of the original in the Federal Archives. The present finding aid book was created as part of a retro-digitisation project of the Federal Archives and contains the digitised indexing results of the present conventional finding aid. In connection with the planned online launch, the portfolio was revised in 2008. The entire collection was supplemented above all by files and dossiers from the collection "NS Archive of the Ministry for State Security of the GDR". Citation method BArch NS 6/ .... Characterization of the content: The fact that a user of the inventory is repeatedly reminded of the fact that these are only highly unequally distributed debris or even scattered fragments of a formerly quantitatively and qualitatively important registry body, roughly comparable with the inventory of the Reich Chancellery (R 43), is certainly the main reason why considerations of the historical value of the existing traditions must have an ambivalent result. Due to the closed series of the "Verfügungen, Anordnungen und Rundschreiben" and the - admittedly for the most part for a long time published -(1) Überlieferung zum 20. Juli 1944 (1) the holdings certainly belong to the qualitatively most significant from the time of the Nazi rule. However, even against the background of the most recent outstanding importance and competence of the party law firm and in particular of its head, the tradition still received cannot make up for the loss of important parts of the registry. Thus Bormann's much-described closeness and position of trust in relation to Hitler is documented at best in some splintery notes on "Führerbesprechungungen". The party's relationship to the state, Bormann's role in the Nazi power structure, in particular also considerations of the actual power of Hitler's directly assigned offices and the forms of rule exercised by them cannot be conclusively assessed on the basis of Bormann's preserved sources and the party chancellery, in which some important conclusions could rightly have been expected for the aforementioned reason. The fact that, instead, the Nazi regime's efforts to build social housing during the war are very closely documented and can largely make up for the loss of the Reich Housing Commissioner's tradition is a pleasing finding for the detailed researcher in this context, but it is undoubtedly of subordinate importance overall. The question remains as to whether the decisive files - such as the personal registry - will be filed by the applicant.

History of the Inventory Designer: The personnel documents created in the personnel offices of the Reichsheer/Heer, Reichsmarine/Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe were collected centrally shortly after the war. However, large quantities had been lost in the war. The remaining documents were mainly collected in the Personenstandsarchiv II of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in Aachen-Kornelimünster and supplemented by further personal documents. This institution has been taken over by the Federal Archives as the Central Central Documentation Office (CNS). The personal documents of the Generals and Admirals went from there in the 1970s to the Military Archives Department of the Federal Archives. The personnel documents of the naval officers up to the lieutenant captain went to the German office (WASt), where they are still today. The personal documents of the officers and civil servants of the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht kept in the CNS were taken over by the Department of Military Archives in 2005 and have been held there ever since. Further personal documents, in particular personal files kept in the personnel offices, form the holdings RW 59. Description of holdings: The contribution essentially follows Absolon, Wehrgesetz p.362-374 (see Lit. verz.): The personnel administration in the Wehrmacht took place at various locations ¿ at the military replacement posts, at the replacement troop units, at the field troop units and in the personnel offices of the high commandos. The following personal documents were kept: - at the military stations: Wehrstammkarte: created by the police registration office at the time of registration for each person liable for service or volunteer, sent to the Wehrbezirkskommando (WBK) with the Wehrstammrolle; basis for the patterning and enlistment or volunteer acceptance; was then pasted into the Wehrstammbuch Wehrstammrolle: Wehrstammbuch (Wehrstammbuch), created by the police registration office as an accompanying list of ten military tribe cards each: created by the WBK after the draft or acceptance of volunteers with the military tribe card glued in place and continued throughout the entire period of compulsory military service; the content corresponded to that of the military passport; during active military service at the military unit, otherwise part of the WBK tribe card index, or at the end of the compulsory military service of the Wehrmeldeamt (WMA); at the beginning of the war, the military records of the soldiers assigned to the Feldwehrmacht were sent from the last peacekeeping unit to the responsible military service stations; after the soldiers had left the Feldtruppe, the military records were returned to the WBK or WMÄ after the corresponding unit had been entered, and the health records were continued there: Created by the military alternative service office which carried out the first examination of a conscript or volunteer; continued by the medical service offices Use card: issued for each replacement reservist I according to the model or volunteer acceptance at the same time as the military record book; served in peace to classify the conscript of the status on leave (d.B.) in war; in peace the use card index was divided into inventory, mob and indispensability card index, in war into inventory, RAD and restricted card index Call-up card: supplement of the use card for the conscripts d.B. who were classified as soldiers or Wehrmacht officials in peace mobile - in the case of troops: military passport: from the 1st World War onwards: from the 1st World War The document was issued on April 1, 1936 at the time of the mustering or voluntary acceptance and handed over to the holder; documentary evidence of the military service relationship during the period of compulsory military service; in peace during the completion of the RAD and active military service, it was accepted, stored and continuously supplemented by the responsible office upon recruitment; upon dismissal it was handed back and remained with the holder even after the end of compulsory military service; The military passports of the fallen, the deceased, and the missing were sent to the military substitute service station; after the data had been transferred to the military tribal record book, they were sent to the surviving dependants or, if none could be ascertained, troop rolls remained in the military tribal record book: in peace by all units, in war only by spare troop parts set up and led; with transfers an excerpt from the trunk roll was attached to the remittance papers war trunk roll: The war roll sheets of the fallen, deceased, missing, wounded and transferred soldiers and supplementary army officials were completed and sent to the responsible military replacement service office, those of the active Wehrmacht officials were sent to the Wehrkreis or Luftgaukommando, which led the main personnel personnel to identity cards: there was 1) a blue troop identity card for soldiers and Wehrmacht officials, issued in peace, with a photograph (form A; for those called up for exercises without form B); on dismissal the form A identity cards were destroyed, the form B identity cards went to the responsible military service stations; 2) a brown service card for employees and workers at Wehrmacht service posts; 3) a white special card for entering specially guarded properties, buildings or facilities; 4) an orange service card with a black longitudinal line for non-German followers employed at Wehrmacht service posts Soldbuch: from the beginning of the war, they were handed over to the soldiers and Wehrmacht officials of the army and the Luftwaffe and continued on an ongoing basis; the previous troop passes were destroyed after the issue of the pay books; the pay books of deceased or dismissed soldiers, as well as those that had become unusable, were sent to the responsible military replacement service office for insertion into the pocket of the Wehrstammbuch; on reappointment, they could be issued again; in the event of a loss of rank, they were completed and a new one issued; on 16 March, the military and air force officers of the Luftwaffe were issued with a new one. In November 1943, the introduction of a photograph on the inside was ordered; employees and workers at Wehrmacht service posts as well as other members of the Wehrmacht following were not given any pay books; the country's own auxiliaries in the east were given bilingual identification books, which were to be kept like pay books - by the high commandos: Personnel files: The entire personnel administration of the officers was carried out by the Army Personnel Office (OKH/PA) or the Air Force Personnel Office (RdL and ObdL/LP). There were kept about every active officer identity papers (personal files), consisting of: - a copy of the identity document - the annexes to the identity document (all important documents such as recruitment procedures, documents, certificates, letters of commitment, decisions in matters of honour, complaints, special incidents) - the medical documents (medical records, medical certificates, lists of damage to services) - the assessments - various files of military personnel files: For this purpose, the staffs of the respective units kept further copies of the personnel records with annexes, assessment drafts and supply procedures ¿ the so-called troop personnel files. The units joining the field army handed over these troop personnel files to the responsible spare troop units, for the officers from the battalion commander upwards to the responsible deputy general commandos; offices which were dissolved also handed over their troop personnel files to the deputy general commands; the troop personnel files of the Luftwaffe generally went to the Luftgaukommando responsible for the last peace site; The registration of changes in the troop personnel files was suspended during the war and was to be carried out after demobilisation; in the event of dismissal from active military service and in the event of death, the sick and care papers and a completed copy of the identity document with other documents were to be sent to the responsible Wehrmacht welfare and care office. The personnel files and personnel records of the officers d.B. and z.V. were kept and kept at the responsible military service stations. Wehrmacht officials kept ministerial files, main files and leaflets (side issues). Ministerial files: These were led and contained by the army administration office (OKH/VA), and/or by the air force personnel office (RLM/LP) with service beginning: - the proof of identity - the declaration of membership of political parties, lodges and other organisations - the declaration of military service - orders to convene, appoint, transfer, etc. - Determination of the seniority - other exchanges of correspondence in special attachments: - Examination papers and minutes of the result - the assessments - the criminal service matters main files: The main files with pre-stitched evidence of illness were kept at the military district and air district commandos, with any earlier personnel files of other places as supplements. Collections of sheets (supplements): The subordinate departments and generally the staffs and units kept only collections of sheets or supplements, consisting of a third copy of the identity card, the holiday certificate, the medical record and the correspondence produced there, via the civil servants in their area. The personnel files of the professional non-commissioned officers were kept by their responsible units and were kept during the war by the replacement troops. The personnel files of the employees and workers of the Wehrmacht were kept at the employment offices, the work books at the location wage offices. From 29 June 1944, the personal files of retired followers were to be destroyed after three years. The inventory RW 59 also contains the documents and finding aids (card indexes) for the awarding of orders and decorations, as they were mainly kept by the Army Personnel Office. These documents and finding aids had been gathered together by the Central Proof Office (CNS) to process corresponding inquiries. Parts had also been taken over from the stock RH 7 of the Federal Archives Military Archives as "permanent loans". These documents were transferred back to RH 7 in 2005 after the dissolution of the CNS. The rest of the collection (177 AU) is divided into two parts: Award proposals (69 AE) and general files from various bodies on various aspects of the award system as well as on holders of certain orders (108 AE). Due to the complex reference system of the CNS, it was decided to preserve this remaining collection as a whole within the RW 59 collection and to refrain from taking over the larger part of it to RH 7, as a separation from the remaining CNS documents would have made it too difficult to provide further information. The award proposals in RW 59 are therefore to be regarded as complementary to those in RH 7. In general, the finding aids in RW 59 can be used as evidence of the following main awards: Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class (2nd Class not continuous), Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross in the different levels, War Merit Cross 1st and 2nd Class, Knight's Cross of the War Merit Cross, German Cross in Silver, German Cross in Gold, Close Combat Bracelet in Gold, Air Force Cup of Honour, Air Force Bowl of Honour, Picture of the Reichsmarschall in Silver Frame, Mention in the Army Official Gazette, Mention in the Navy Official Gazette, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour of the Navy, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in the N. Especially for the final phase of the war, however, even the highest awards are likely to have gaps in tradition. The third part of the collection RW 59 contains a collection on military law and the organization of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS (215 AE), which has been compiled in the CNS. This collection essentially contains original documents which were taken from the original provenances by Rudolf Absolon in his function as director of the CNS for the production of the work "Die Wehrmacht im Dritten Reich" (The Wehrmacht in the Third Reich) and which had been newly formed as a handset structured according to subject matter. Content characterization: This inventory includes the Wehrmacht documents collected by the Central Proof Office (CNS), which it needed to deal with personal inquiries. These documents had been taken from their original provenances by the CNS. In addition, the holdings also include the Wehrmacht's human resources department, which was prepared by the CNS itself, and the CNS's filing of research enquiries on certain persons regarding presumed or actual membership in the Wehrmacht. After the documents had been transferred to the Federal Archives and Military Archives, it was decided to preserve this collection as a collection, since a division of the documents into their individual provenances and a separation from the actual CNS documents would have considerably jeopardised the further provision of information. Only the documents of the RH 7 holdings (Army Personnel Office) received from the CNS by the military archives as "permanent loans" and clearly delineated were returned to it. The inventory RW 59 in its present form is therefore an archival result of the decades of activity and working method of the CNS, which must necessarily be preserved in order to maintain the further ability to work in this area. State of development: The inventory consists on the one hand of important working materials for the department and on the other hand of personal documents. A use is therefore only possible via the specialist department. Pre-archival order: Until 2005, the files were kept at the ZNS in Aachen-Kornelimünster. During this time, only rudimentary archival inventories were created. Scope, explanation: 2500 AU Citation method: BArch, RW 59/...

Instructions for use: The inventory contains the personnel files of those officers who belonged to the formations which had their replacement troop part in the area of the XIV Army Corps. In addition, personal files of military doctors, pharmacists, paymasters, armoury staff, military officials and some non-commissioned officers are also archived. The personnel files were used for military monitoring and were usually kept by the district offices and the Karlsruhe Landwehr Inspectorate. The dates given for the early terms refer mainly to file entries and do not relate to the actual times when the files were created. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained with the relevant settlement agencies. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps was begun, in which the archives of the settlement agencies 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). 16,686 fascicles with a circumference of 85.50 linear metres are included in the holdings.

History of traditions: In the mid-1930s, the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart developed the plan to create a picture archive of all officers and officials of the former XIIIth and XIVth Army Corps. In order to complete the personal data, a questionnaire was sent to the officers still alive or their families. The collection contains the pictures sent in, the questionnaires and other documents (some with CVs) of the officials and officers of the XIV Army Corps. In addition, the collection was enriched with pictures from other sources. Editing: If possible, the signatures of the corresponding personnel files or ranked lists were added to the respective comments field.

Contains: Map 1:50000 about the battle north of Colenso on 27. Feb. 1900 (Africa - Boer War)

Curriculum vitae of Karl Fritz: Karl Fritz, born on 29 November 1914 in Pfullendorf as the son of a plasterer and a part-time farmer, was made possible by a scholarship to attend the grammar school in Constance. Immediately after graduating from high school, he completed his work service, which was followed by military service with the infantry regiment 114 in Konstanz and with the military district command in Ehingen an der Donau. From November 1, 1938, the day he joined the NSDAP, until October 31, 1941, he was an administrative candidate for the "upper middle administrative service" (including Überlingen, Konstanz, and Stockach), and from November 1, 1942 he was employed as a government inspector in various positions (including Karlsruhe and Sinsheim). From the summer of 1943 until the end of the war, he had joined the Wehrmacht and served in southern France. Based in Freiburg since October 1945, Karl Fritz resumed his administrative duties at the Ministry of the Interior. In 1952, he was transferred to the Transport Department of the South Baden Regional Council, where he retired in 1977 as a senior civil servant. Karl Fritz died on 29 November 1990 in Freiburg. Inventory history: According to family tradition, Karl Fritz, possibly inspired by the example of an uncle, began to "collect" contemporary historical material at an early age. Posters from the authorities in which he was employed were completed, and duplicates of posters and brochures were the main focus of his collection. This is enhanced in terms of content by the collection of banknotes, above all emergency money, which has been collected from all over the German Reich. The "Karl Fritz" collection (stock W 307), which had grown to 40 m, was donated to the Freiburg State Archives in 1993. An initial inspection revealed that not all the documents were worthy of archiving. In addition, the collection contained material that was difficult to include in the documentation profile of the State Archives. Extensive order work followed. First, the newspaper collection and the literature on contemporary history were transferred to the service library of the State Archives and - in the case of documents on military history - to the Federal Archives and Military Archives; then the posters were separated and the W 113 collection of Karl Fritz posters was formed. A number of posters of East Prussian origin were handed over to the Geheime Staatsarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz, some pieces of Berlin origin to the Landesarchiv Berlin. The same happened with the picture material, from which the present collection W 145/2 - Bildsammlung Karl Fritz arose, which was catalogued and digitised by Annika Scheumann and Martin Schittny. The collection now comprises 938 numbers in 0.4 lfd.m.Freiburg, in September 2010Kurt Hochstuhl

Search tools: Find book (online searchable) Registrar: Until the beginning of the 19th century, the police administration in the larger cities was very fragmented. In Magdeburg, more than ten different jurisdictions shared this territory until 1807. Within the Magdeburg police administration, the criminal investigation department stood out as an independent department in the first half of the 19th century. In addition, another special department was established in 1851 in the form of the central residents' registration office. An II. Business department was created in 1884. It was responsible for the affairs of the military office, the customs and market police and the public transport system, the matters relating to fines, transport and vaccinations, the issue of identity cards including hunting licences and, since 1888, also for health insurance, accident insurance and settlement matters. 1888 also saw the unification of the moral and criminal police. Since 15 July 1889, the Magdeburg Police Administration has been known as the Royal Police Presidium, in accordance with the title of Police President. At the beginning of the 1920s, as part of a structural restructuring of the Magdeburg police headquarters, there was a stronger distinction between the administrative police and the police administration on the one hand and the excellence consisting of the protective police and the criminal police on the other. At that time, the Presidium was structurally divided into five large departments, in addition to the Presidential Department and an Administrative Department. Department V was connected to the residents' registration office. Inventory information: The older files of the police headquarters in Magdeburg, which were created or continued in the years 1929-1945, were completely destroyed in the war except for the registry of the criminal directorate. Only the older part of the collection from the years 1803-1928 has been preserved, which was taken over by the Magdeburg State Archives in 1913, 1941 and 1945 in three deliveries of different sizes. In 1947 it was combined to form a single collection and rearranged according to the main subject areas of the police administration. The so-called gypsy personal files, criminal offender files and files on prostitutes, as well as the prisoner's books of the police prison and personal files of police members, which were later taken over by the criminal investigation department, were added to the inventory as Annex I-IV.

1. on the history of the map collection: the Hohenlohe Central Archives holds an important and extensive collection of printed maps from the 16th to 19th centuries, some of which date back to the 20th century. This quantity, which is unusual for a smaller archive, can be explained by the many and varied tasks of the highlohish administrations. But more than that, it is explained by the various functions and inclinations of members of the Princely House itself. Most of the cards were collected for military reasons. Several counts and princes were in high positions in foreign military services, e.g. Count Philipp von H.-Neuenstein (1550 - 1606) as general of Wilhelm v. Oraniens in Dutch services, Prince Heinrich August zu H.-Ingelfingen (1715 - 1796) as Reichsfeldmarschall and general field witness of the Franconian Imperial Circle or his son Friedrich Ludwig (1746 - 1818) as Prussian infantry general and governor of Breslau and Bay-reuth. However, maps were also produced or collected to secure and clarify sovereign rights (e.g. hunting and forestry) and territorial claims. Further reasons for the collecting activities were the geographical (travel maps: "foreign regions"), economic, scientific and educational (school maps) interests of the collectors. These varied interests also explain why the maps on hand are not limited to the area of Württemberg and Hohenlohe. Namely comparatively many maps to the German, European and international area are included. The extent of the collection could have benefited positively from the participation of the House of H.-Oehringen (old) in one of the renowned Nuremberg map publishers - the "Homännische Officin" or the "Homännische Erben". A good half of the cards come from this publisher. The temporal emphasis lies in the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. From the middle of the 19th century onwards, the collection became considerably thinner, but with individual specimens it reached as far back as the 1960s. Either cards have been purchased less since the 1850s or are still in use by the respective princely administrations. War losses or wear and tear can also be expected. The political caesura of 1806 does not play a decisive role in connection with the collecting activity. The changed tasks of the princely houses from the middle of the 19th century onwards. All in all, the collection of maps documents the broad political and cultural interest and significance of the House of Hohenlohe during the period in which the collection was created. It is to be assumed that map collections were built up in various Hohenlohe houses and also kept in the castles concerned, mostly probably in the library. With the relocation of all Hohenlohe archives to Neuenstein, the printed maps from the various castles were transferred to the Hohenlohe Central Archives. Here they were combined to a stock of printed maps. The origin of the maps was not considered to be significant and as a rule was not documented in any way. This must have taken place immediately after the end of the war, since in 1951 a list-like inventory of the holdings was already available. In the course of the relocation of the various line archives to Neuenstein, over 3100 printed maps gradually came together. 2. on the history of the collection and its processing: during the first provisional processing, the compilation of a list under the Princely Archivist Karl Schumm in 1951, the majority of the maps already available at that time were combined to form a complete collection, as already mentioned, without regard to provenance and ownership. The machining was carried out according to the numerus currensprinciple. The order was based on an alpha-betic ranking by country, region and place names and the geographical classification was based on superficial aspects. Often, in the course of the order, map connections were torn apart and even maps from outside the stock - hand-drawn - were included in the list. The signatures were assigned according to the geo-graphical classification. The signature consisted of a capital letter (W for world maps, E for European maps and D for German maps) and a sequential number. For example, a European map has the signature "E 80" or a map of Germany "D 46". In the case of sequences, lower-case letters have been added after the number, for example in the case of a map of France: "E 206 a - cc". Some war cards were provided with Roman numerals, e.g. a card of Hungary with "K X/ 161". This type of signature assignment was not very useful for appropriate use. Cards were often difficult to find. A careful revision of the map collection was urgently needed, especially as several printed maps that had been added later were not taken into account. However, it was no longer possible to reconstruct original provenances, as there is no indication of their origin from the various archives. With the exception of one group (H.-Kirchberg: "Sch[rank], T[isch] or F[ach], Sch[ublade]"), the old signatures do not provide any reliable information about the provenance. The pre-signatures were probably already assigned at the time the maps were purchased. They are divided into groups according to simple number assignment ("131", "No. 131", "1311/2" or "Nro 131"), according to combinations with upper and lower case letters and numbers ("Dd x S.138"), according to combinations with Roman and Arabic numerals and letters ("II M. 10" or "605 R. I") or according to locature (H.-Kirchberg: "S. 642, T. 2, Sch. 3"). For many cards several signatures were assigned. They point to older resistance structures. A few maps and atlases, the origin of which could be clearly determined, were removed from the holdings for ownership reasons and returned to the relevant line archives. The main part of the maps is probably of h.-kirchberg origin, enriched with a considerable number of maps of the Dutch/Belgian area from probably Württemberg-neuenstädtisches Besitz (h.-kirchberg heritage). The remainder of the maps, which could not be defined more precisely, was distributed among the various other line archives. 22 drawers, 92 cartons/boxes with approx. 31/2 linear metres of shelving, 59 rolled maps, 38 volumes and booklets and 4 folders were first viewed prior to drawing. For technical reasons, the cards were first taken from the cupboard drawers, then the pieces stored in cartons or boxes, and finally the volumes on the shelves were recorded according to the numerus-current-principle. In the process, hand-drawn maps, pictures, construction plans and printed maps from the archives of Langenburg, Waldenburg and Öhringen were also noticed. They were separated and recorded for a later inventory or supplementation of the inventory of hand-drawn maps. Apart from a small group of atlases and military maps, the remaining printed maps still found in the Hohenlohe Central Archives are mainly field, forest and surveying maps from the archives of Langenburg, Waldenburg and Öhringen. They, too, were not included in the inventory of printed maps, but were prepared for their own holdings, and once all the maps had been indexed, a classification for the holdings had to be established. For practical reasons and in order to facilitate access for users, the breakdown was mainly geographical. An order by subject would have led to greater opacity due to the size and nature of the maps. The map collection is divided into thirteen categories. It is progressed from the large to the small space: World; continents without Europe, with subitems Africa, America, Asia and Australia/Oceania; Europe, with subdivision into individual, non-German countries; and the area Germany and former German Empire, with subdivision into individual territories and regions. Headings 7 to 13 include maps that cannot be clearly allocated geographically (transnational theatres of war), special areas (field maps, city maps, canals, natural phenomena) or the category "Other". Compromises had to be made with the classification in order to arrange the stock according to modern geographical criteria. With the exception of a Russian atlas with European and Chinese territories [No. 7], the classification into world and continental maps could be carried out without complications. It was more difficult to classify the continent of Europe and European countries. Two problem areas stood in the way of simple, uniform processing. On the one hand, the grouping of maps that span space and countries or of maps with two or more different representations on one sheet; on the other hand, the allocation of maps with changed historical spaces. The classification of map sheets with several representations was problem-free again. They were sorted by the larger geographical area. For example, a map showing Europe on the front and the German Empire on the back was assigned to the group Europe [No. 65]. The transnational maps were more problematic. Thus a subgroup "Alps" had to be formed immediately with the first division of the individual European countries. It comprises the maps of the French-Italian-Swiss and the German-Swiss-Austrian border regions, but without the group of maps of the narrower region of the Swiss-Austrian Alps, which were assigned to the categories "Switzerland" and "Austrian Hereditary Lands". The group "Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg" did not simply fit into a given scheme in terms of both spatial and historical classification. The Belgian-Luxembourg region changed its political affiliation several times during the period under study, from about 1660 to 1840: the Spanish Netherlands until 1715, then the Austrian Netherlands, French during the revolutionary period, the Kingdom of the United Netherlands from 1815 to 1830, and only then the Kingdom of Belgium. With some justification, the maps could also have been assigned to a group 'Spain', the division 'Germany and Central Europe' with the subgroup 'Austrian Hereditary Lands' or 'France' if there were no overlaps with the area of the narrower Netherlands [Republic of the United Netherlands, Kingdom of the Netherlands]. Thus, the maps relating to the Belgian and Dutch regions could only be formed into a separate group according to modern geographical, historically inaccurate aspects. France, which had historically and geographically undergone relatively continuous development, could be divided into the sub-groups of France as a whole and individual regions, including areas whose political affiliation was not entirely clear and only later belonged definitively to France, such as Lorraine, Alsace, Corsica, Savoy and Nice. Note swert is with this group the first topographical atlas of France [No. 138] by Cassini, of which 108 of altogether 175 sheets are available in the copy kept here. The subgroup "Territories of France" was first created alphabetically and then chronologically. The situation was similar with the area of Italy, which was treated as a single area and could also be divided into the categories of Italy as a whole and individual territories according to modern political-geographical aspects, including the archipelago of Malta. More extensive measures had to be taken in the Western European areas. Great Britain and Ireland as well as Spain and Portugal with Gibraltar in their overall representation were mostly depicted on a map sheet. Therefore a division into the groups "Great Britain and Ireland" and "Iberian Peninsula" was appropriate. The area of Eastern and Southeastern Europe posed problems because the territorial affiliations and borders permanently changed during the period from about 1650 to 1880. From the temporary affiliation of the Duchies of Kurland and Livonia and the permanent affiliation of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to the Kingdom of Poland, for example, the maps of this area were merged into the section "Poland and Baltic Countries". Because of the political changes, in particular the partition of Poland, compromises had to be made. Thus a general division "Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania" was formed, which covers the greater area as a whole. The great "Carte de la Pologne" [No. 230] from 1772 by Rizzi-Zannoni should be mentioned as a rarity. However, in order to do justice to the political vicissitudes in terms of the size of the cards, two further subgroups were formed. The "Baltic Duchies" section linked the above-mentioned duchies with the Duchy of Estonia, which was ethnically and geographically but not politically part of the Polish-Lithuanian area. The classification of the map group "Kingdom of Galicia" was more difficult. For historical reasons it could have been added to the 'Österreichische Erblande' division by accepting the fragmentation of the geographical context. In order to reach a reasonable compromise, however, it was assigned to the Polish area as a separate group. More difficult was the treatment of the cards of the Russian Empire. A structure that would have corresponded to the given order was only possible with restrictions. Russia, which stretches with large parts of its area over Asia, could just as well have been assigned to this division. However, since the country's focus was and is in Europe, the "Russia" group could be integrated into the group of European countries. The classification of the maps surrounding the Ottoman Empire [Turkey] and the neighbouring regions proved to be an almost insoluble task: in addition to maps of the Ottoman Empire, which was divided into a European and an Asian part, there are a number of map sets in this group representing the Russian-Turkish-Austrian theatres of war of the 18th and early 19th centuries on the Balkans and in the northern Black Sea regions. In addition there are maps with overlaps of the different southeast European territories from this time. Compromises had to be accepted in this area in order not to tear up map connections. Thus, in order to cover the whole area, a division "Southeast Europe, Black Sea and Asia Minor" was formed, divided into four sub-groups: the group "Balkans and Greece" is composed of the various South Slavic, Romanian and Greek territories and Danube maps, the second group comprises "Hungary (with Transylvania)"], the third group "Turkey (Ottoman Empire)" and the fourth group "Several Countries" [04.11.04.] as a collection basin of maps which cannot be clearly assigned, consisting of maps of the theatres of war in the Balkans and Black Sea region and of maps of the southern Russian-Ukrainian rivers. Maps of the Crimea/Tauria were, if they are not part of the war theatre maps, classified in the category Russia. The Nordic states with their provinces, on the other hand, could be uniformly included in the Greater Scandinavia area, especially as several of the countries were each depicted on one sheet. The same procedure was followed for the "Switzerland" group. The "Atlas Suisse" [No. 280], which was split up into individual maps and registered individually, could be merged, making it somewhat easier to classify the maps into "Germany and Central Europe" and "Territories and Parts of Germany". Here, too, compromises had to be made between political-geographical classification and historical affiliation. Should maps, which today represent non-German countries, be integrated into the group of European countries or into the German territories? And should maps, e.g. of the Reich circles, which covered several territories, be formed as a separate group or not? The classification was carried out primarily according to historical-geographical aspects, since a classification under modern political aspects would not have corresponded in any way to the map statements. The structure was based on a mixture of regional areas and Histo-rical territories, with the maps of the Imperial circles being classified according to the categories of the respective regions. The maps assigned to the category "Germany" essentially cover the territory of the old German Reich, partly in sections (atlas fragments), according to a relatively clear order pattern, while the category "Territories of Germany" again demanded greater concessions. The structure of the "Bayern" group was simple. It includes only the territory of the Duchy, the Electorate and the Kingdom of Bavaria. Here you can find the oldest maps in the collection, the "Bavarian Land Tables" by Phillipp Appian from the year 1568 [No. 379 and 380]. "Bohemia and Moravia" was designated as a separate map group due to the extent of the maps and the important role as territory of the German Empire [Kingdom, Electorate], with different atlases and map series of both areas. The groups of the "Franconian Territories" and of "Hesse" could be classified according to uniform principles. They contain interesting maps and map sets of the margraviate Ansbach [No. 423 - 428] and contemporary map sets of the theater of war Hessen during the Seven Years' War [No. 457 and 458] from 1761, the latter by Carlet de la Rozière, adjutant of the French commander-in-chief, Marshal Broglie. For the special documentation of the domestic area, a separate map group "Hohenlohe" was highlighted and separated from the group of Franconian and southwest German maps. Particularly noteworthy are the land tables of the regions around Langenburg and Kirchberg from the first half of the 17th century [no. 472 - 475] and the complete representations of Hohenlohe by Schapuzet and Hammer from the second half of the 18th and at the beginning of the 19th century [no. 477 - 482]. The section "Northern Germany" comprises all maps of the Lower Saxon-North-Elbian area with two atlases of Mecklenburg-Strelitz [No. 499] and Mecklenburg-Schwerin [No. 501] by Count v. Schmettau from the 1780s. With the group "Österreichische Erblande" it had to be decided whether one summarized all maps of the Austrian monarchy or, as here because of the extent and the kind of the maps, divided into the individual partial realms and/or Erblande. Only maps of the narrower area [Austrian Imperial Circle, territory of present-day Austria] were included in this category, with the exception of representations of the entire monarchy. It is worth mentioning the Atlas [Kartenwerk] Tirol by Peter Anich and Blasius Hueber from the year 1774 [No. 509]. The situation was similar with the maps of the Prussian monarchy. Here, too, the groups had to be divided in order to avoid spatial and cartographic separations. The section "Pomerania" also contains maps with representations of Swedish-Vorpommern, the group "Silesia" stretches from the Austrian epoch to the end of the German Reich, with an atlas of the Silesian part principalities from the 1730s to the 1750s [no. 648, 649 and 658], war maps of the Silesian wars and maps reaching into the 1940s. The main group of the "Prussian States" comprises all other maps, from representations of the entire monarchy to individual districts, with maps of East and West Prussia [No. 548 and 555] and a "Special Map" of South Prussia by the Prussian court architect David Gilly from the years 1802/1803 [No. 552 - 554]. The formation of the division "Rhine (with adjoining countries)" took place under the compromise to unite river maps of the Rhine, maps of the Rhine area [Upper, Lower and Kurrhein] and war maps, which carry the title Rhine, but extend over a far larger area, into a comprehensible group. During the processing, torn map sets could be assembled, such as the war theatre map 1794 by Dewarat [No. 605] or the current measurement maps of the Palatinate-Bavarian Upper Rhine Inspector Wiebeking at the end of the 18th century [No. 608 and 612]. The area "Saxony" was structured under clear aspects, including the maps of the Obersächsischen Reichskreis (with Prussian territories) for reasons of uniformity. To be mentioned here are the map sets of the Erzgebirgskreis of the Prussian major v. Petri [No. 630], the individual representations of the Obersächsischer Kreis in eight boxes by Peter Schenk [No. 623], the complete depiction of the Wettiner Lande of the Frankfurt cartographer Johann Wilhelm Abraham Jäger [No. 634] and of the war theatre map of the Seven Years' War of the Saxon captain Backenberg [No. 641]. In order to do justice to the caesura of the years 1803, 1806 and 1810 with their political and territorial changes, the maps of the Swabian-Alemannic and the today Baden-Wuerttemberg area were combined to a unified group "Southwest Germany". Worth mentioning are the "Charte von Schwaben/Württemberg" [No. 681 and 682] by Amann and the Tübingen mathematician and astronomer Bohnenberger as the first attempt of surveying the state, ca. 1796 to 1810, the "Topographische Atlas des Königreichs Würt-temberg" [No. 695 - 697] of the Landesaufnahme from 1821 to 1851 and the forerunner maps of the Historical Atlas of Baden-Württemberg, the "Generalkarte von Württemberg" by Bach [No. 707] and "Der deutsche Südwesten am Ende des alten Reiches" [No. 714] by Erwin Hölzle, 1938 "Thüringen" could be sorted uniformly according to territories, the last section of the "Territories of Germany", the group "Westfalen", was formed again according to compromise aspects, since the range of representation often went beyond the mentioned space of the title, as with the war maps of Dezauche, 1797 [No. 743] and of le Coq, 1804 [No. 744]. The rest of the maps are distributed among the categories 7 to 13. In the group of "transnational theatres of war" all the war maps were classified which cannot be assigned to a fixed geographical area, like the maps of the Seven Years' War, with all battlefields and theatres of war, of the Prussian Colonel Friedrich Wilhelm v. Baur [No. 747 - 749] and the Prime Lieutenant J. v. Saint Paul [No. 763] or the Atlas of Revolutionary Wars [No. 760] of the Swiss General in French and Russian service, Baron Henri v. Jomini. For reasons of determination and provenance, the corridor maps in the inventory were not assigned to the general corridor map collection, but form a separate group. "City maps", "canal constructions" such as the old Rhine-Main-Danube canal, "natural phenomena" such as the solar eclipse of 1706, "statistics" and "miscellaneous", with copper printing plates to the Hohenlohe land plates [no. 853: to no. 473 - 475] and the Hohenlohe map by C. F. Hammer [no. 860: to no. 481] formed the end of the collection.The final signatures have been assigned according to the following criteria: with single numbering, for sets of cards with continuation cards with oblique stroke after the signature, such as "208/1" or "229/1 - 4", and for double or multiple deliveries with indication of the copies, such as the Weikersheim card "476 (4 copies)". The type of storage depends on the conditions of the cartons. There are four types of bearing supports. They are recognizable by their signature: the usual plan storage in drawers is not particularly emphasized. Then there is rolled card ["(rolled)"] and shelf storage of volumes or books ["(tape)"] and cards in boxes ["(carton)"]. Combinations between storage type and card sequences in the signatures occur frequently, such as "296/1 (2 copies)" or "209/1 - 4 (carton)". The indexing was comparatively intensive according to the historical value of the maps. As a rule, the title recordings contain the following information: The title is usually taken over in the original wording, in abbreviated form in the case of excess length. In the absence of a title, a separate version was created describing the theme and area of the map. In the case of non-German, ancient titles or titles deviating from the representation, the German spelling or the spelling customary today is adopted in square brackets [ ]. The area of the map representation is described according to three patterns: Sections refer to the map margin (left-right, top-bottom), sections to prominent vertices and locations at the map margin, and areas to imaginary radii of prominent points or locations. For some cards, the type of card sequence they belong to is also included in the title. The cartographers were indicated, if noted on the map, with their professional title or function as author/cartographer, publisher, editor, draughtsman, engraver, copywriter, printer, etc. In the description of the map design, the edition, the copy number (for multiple copies), the type of map (print, lithography or [copper] engraving) and the type of colouring are given, if given, whereby the majority of the maps are only partially coloured. Boundary lines were dyed in various colors by hand until the beginning of the 19th century. The areas and territories indicated in the title are flat, places are usually colored red or orange, the border areas of the map remain predominantly uncolored. The scale of almost all maps - even without the original scale - was converted into the metric fracture system common today, with the exception of sonar maps and atlases with very different maps. Place and year of publication are generally recorded, in some cases with multiple citation; in case of uncertain assignment the place of origin is indicated in square brackets, in case of missing time indication the presumed period ([um...] or [after...]) is also indicated in square brackets. The old signatures, as far as verifiable, have all been included in the order in which they were listed, with the signatures that Karl Schumm included in his list being the last to be mentioned. The map dimensions (width x height) refer to the actual map display, the dimensions of the sheet cut (outer frame) are shown in brackets. The cartographic type is divided into three categories (thematic, topographic or physical map). Maps dating from before the beginning of the 19th century often cannot be clearly assigned and are given in mixed forms for better identification. This is followed by basic information on the map display, such as the transport network, topography, form of settlement, political division or war events on military maps. In the case of sets or works of cards, the main title is given, the sheet number, if any, and the function of the card (title or continuation sheet). Finally, the intended use of the map is indicated, e.g. as a political, military, school or traffic map. In the remarks, the original scale or scales, the division according to longitude and latitude, as far as they were available, or the meridian grid were mentioned, usually the meridian designated here as the "old Parisian meridian" (fixed in Paris in 1613, with zero meridian by the island Ferro = Hierro/Canaries). In case of deviation from the usual northing of the map, the corresponding orientation according to the direction of the compass was specifically mentioned. Other conspicuous elements of the map presentation, such as the artistic design of the title, scale or dedication templates in allegorical form, the details of troop positions or siege rings, of coat-of-arms representations, explanations, dedications, more precise details of the political division, handwritten notes and other special features, were included at the end of the list.The final indexing and creation of the present holdings by the undersigned was carried out within the framework of the project "Indexing of the printed maps of the Hohenlohe Central Archives" sponsored by the Kulturgutstiftung in the period from 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2000. 1382 title records for approx. 3060 maps in 33 drawers, 59 rolled maps, 92 maps in boxes/cartons and 38 volumes (approx. 4.5 linear metres of shelving) were included in the holdings, which received the designation "Hohenlohe Central Archives: Printed maps". A supplementary use of the map holdings of the line archives of the holdings of the hand-drawn maps of the Hohenlohe Central Archives may make sense under certain circumstances. 3. an explanation of the structure of the title recordings: All maps are described in the present finding aid book according to the following scheme in the indicated order:Order signature - Order numberTitle of the map (as quotation) or indication of the map contentKarthograph and other persons involved in the creation of the mapEngineering stage, edition, execution of the mapScaleEngineering place Further formal descriptionRemarksPre-signaturesEngineering time
