History of the Inventory Designer: Before the Reich Chamber of Culture Act of 22 September 1933 came into force, the law on the establishment of a provisional film chamber was enacted on 14 July. 1] Its presidents were Dr. Fritz Scheuermann (1933-1935), Prof. Dr. Oswald Lehnich (1935-1939) and Prof. Carl Froelich (from 1939). The vice presidents were Arnold Raeter, Hans Weidemann and Karl Melzer. The Reichsfilmkammer had the task of promoting the German film industry within the overall economy, of representing the interests of the individual groups of this industry among themselves and vis-à-vis the Reich, the Länder and the municipalities, and of bringing about a fair balance between those involved in working life in this field. The close connection between state and party, which is expressed in the position of the Gaufilmstellenleiter as department head of the Gaupropagandaamt and speaker of the Landesstelle of the Reich Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda, was further deepened by the appointment of the Gaufilmstellenleiter as Gauauftragter of the Reich Film Chamber. 2] The Reichsfilmkammer was divided into 10 departments: I. General Administration (Law, Budget and Finance, Personal Data) II. Politics and Culture (Domestic Press News Office; Foreign Press News Office, Reich Film Archive) III. artistic supervision of filmmaking (dramaturgy, casting questions) IV. Film Industry (Special reports on foreign exchange issues, copyright, labour and tax law issues) V. Film Student Council (production manager, directors, film formers, production managers, cameras, sound engineers, editors, actors, extras, make-up artists, requisitioners, cloakroom attendants) VI. Film Production Section (film production, film foreign trade, film studios) VII. Domestic Film Distribution Section VIII. Section Film Theatre IX. Division Film and Cinema Technology (Film Processing, Film Patents, Film Technology Research) X. Section for culture, advertising and light plays. 3] Among the cooperative members of the Film Chamber were the Paritätische Filmnachweis, the Film Quota Office, the Foreign Exchange Department, the Filmkreditbank GmbH and the Reichsfilmarchiv. 4] With the collapse of the "Third Reich" the Reichskulturkammer and with it also the Reichsfilmkammer lost their right to exist.

The volumes listed here are to a large extent handfiles of the Vice President Hans Weidemann. The present collection R 56 VI, which the Berlin Document Center transferred to the Federal Archives in Koblenz in 1959, was already published in the publication find book "Reichskulturkammer und ihre Einzelkammern" (find books on the holdings of the Federal Archives, No. 31). Archival processing The index data of the files of the Reich Film Chamber, which had already been compiled and published in the Federal Archives in Koblenz, were essentially adopted when they were put online; file titles only underwent slight changes in individual cases. No new file units were added. Citation method BArch R 56 VI / ... State of development: Publication index of the Reichskulturkammer (1987), Online-Findbuch (2008). Citation style: BArch, R 56-VI/...

History of the Inventory Designer: In 1928 it emerged from the Organizing Committee of the Party first mentioned in 1926; in 1928-1932 under the leadership of Gregor Straßer, who sought to link the technical-organizational with the political leadership of the NSDAP, and in 1932-1945 by Robert Ley; Since 1933 responsible for the handling of all organizational questions of the party, the selection and training of the leadership corps of the NSDAP; organizationally and politically subordinated were the main offices for public welfare, public health, for war victims, for civil servants, for educators, for local politics and for technology as well as the NSD student federation and the Nazi women's association. Inventory description: Inventory history The records of the Reichsorganisationsleitung apparently survived the wartime to a large extent unscathed. The fate of the files since the occupation of Germany by the Allies corresponds to the general history of German contemporary historical sources in the post-war period. After its confiscation by American troops in Munich, the major part of the holdings was transferred to the American Document Center in Berlin (BDC), while the files of the Main Office for Organizational Management of the Reich Party Rallies as well as the documents of the Adolf Hitler School/Ordensburg Sonthofen listed in the Appendix to the holdings reached the United States. The partial holdings of the Berlin Document Center were received by the Federal Archives together with a larger return of written material in September 1962, while some of the documents brought to the USA were already returned in 1959 from Alexandria/Va. with the so-called "NS mixed holdings", and some were not returned until 1967 by the Library of Congress via the National Archive in Washington. With reunification in 1990, further files of the Reichsorganisationsleiter der NSDAP were transferred from the Central State Archive of the GDR (ZStA) and the NS Archive of the Ministry for State Security (MfS) to the Federal Archive. Archival evaluation and processing The files handed over to the Federal Archives in September 1962 were accompanied by a list of files to be submitted by the Berlin Document Center (BDC), which served as a provisional archive directory until the holdings were finally catalogued. In it, the files were listed only very summarily; in addition to keyword-like factual matters, only the file-maintaining position or the correspondence partner were frequently named instead of a file title. So it is understandable that soon after taking over the inventory, efforts were made to create a list of files that met archival requirements. However, these efforts did not initially progress beyond limited individual actions, each of which comprised only individual groups of files. It was not until 1987-1990 that the final order and listing of the entire stock could be carried out and completed. As there was no file plan and most of the inventory as delivered by Document Center did not have a usable organizational structure, it had to be reorganized from the ground up. The classification of the holdings was initially based on the three main phases of the organisational development of the department described above, which had a lasting influence on the management of the files. Below this chronological structure, the organizational units in charge of the files of the department formed the next classification criterion. Within the sub-areas formed in this way, an order of files was strived for according to as "logical a gradient" as possible. In many cases, this was achieved relatively easily by simply ranking the numerous series of correspondences available with the individual main offices of the Reich Organizational Leadership, with the offices of the Reich Leadership, the divisions and affiliated associations of the NSDAP, the Gauleitungen, as well as with Reich and state authorities, municipal offices, organizations under private law, and individuals. The correspondence series and fact files of the main offices of the Reich Organizationsleitung were preceded by the orders, decrees, circulars, etc. issued by them. The order of the documents within the file volumes was generally maintained. For conservation reasons, however, the documents, most of which were stored in standing folders, were temporarily transferred to Juris folders. For technical reasons, it often became necessary to divide the contents of the folders into two or more volumes. In addition, obvious errors in the keeping of files were corrected, which occasionally resulted in the separation or merging of volumes or transactions. Only the collections of orders, decrees, circulars, notices, etc. found in numerous standing files as multiple documents and formed according to different aspects of order were fundamentally rearranged. They were structured according to the main publishing offices of the Reichsorganisationsleitung and - without further splitting according to the (anyway not always ascertainable) character of the individual announcements - arranged into purely chronological series. In the Federal Archives in Berlin, the index data were imported into the database by means of a retro-digitisation procedure and processed as an additional search source for the requirements of the production of an online find book. The file accesses from the collections of the NS archive of the MfS and the personal collections of the former Berlin Document Center (BDC) were integrated into the existing classification scheme with the help of the database. The extensive collection of press clippings compiled by the Reichsorganisationsleitung was added to the files.

Tradition and order: On 25 October 1848, the Grand Ducal Secret Cabinet commissioned the Ludwig Law Office of the General State Archives to organize the files in the cabinet's registry, whereby "those papers which are suitable for storage in the General State Archives or in the registries of the various ministries were to be handed over there". He found the files, which dated back to the first reign of Margrave Karl Friedrich, "in seven overcrowded boxes". Law Firm Councillor Ludwig divided the files into four main parts: a) files for the older and b) files for the current registry of the cabinet c) files for the Großh. Haus- und Familienarchiv d) files for the Großh. StaatsarchivIn the year 1860, these administrative tasks were completed and the files mentioned under c) and d) had already been submitted to the General State Archives in 1850. In the years 1879, 1881, 1882 and 1885 further deliveries took place. Insofar as these files were not incorporated into the family archives or assigned to the various holdings of the General State Archives, they were kept in a special cabinet. When the holdings of the General State Archives were divided into repositories in 1888, the files submitted by the Privy Cabinet received Repositur II, 2. Nevertheless, the previously practised division procedure was retained for the consignments of 1891, 1907 and 1908. With the abolition of the Privy Cabinet in 1919, almost all of the remaining registry was transferred to the General State Archives. The Badisches Ministerium des Auswärtigen retained only those files which it needed to continue the business of the Order Chancellery; these files are now held by the Staatsministerium 233. Individual inventories can be found partly in GLA 68/778 and partly in GLA 450/403 and 1200. This finding aid was created in 1964 on the basis of older card indexes. In 2009, it was converted into an online find book with funds from the German Research Foundation (DFG) and then edited by Christoph Florian and Alfred Becher. According to the requirements of Scope-Archiv, numerous collective title recordings in particular had to be resolved. However, the individual titles and the differentiation according to individual runtimes and deviations in content led in some cases to the creation of very extensive headings in which the chronological order is no longer clearly discernible. The further subdivision would have been consistent; as a fundamental intervention in order and category sequence, this could not be achieved within the framework of the search instrument conversion. The conversion to online finding aids remained problematic in the treatment of Julius Kastner's meritorious but very detailed indices. For the collection in SCOPE archive the in-depth entries of Kastner were difficult, the result remained unsatisfactory; the indices must be worked on completely again. Since this was not possible within the scope of the finding aid conversion, only a Word version is available for the time being in the printed find book copies of the General State Archives; it was created by Christoph Florian from the typewritten template. Full text search is recommended for online searches. History: A cabinet government in the proper sense, as it existed in Prussia, for example, hardly ever existed in Baden. The system of government of Margrave Karl Wilhelm, which could at best be described as a cabinet government, did not continue under his grandson. Margrave Karl Friedrich founded the Privy Cabinet in 1783, which formed only a committee from the Privy Council and was not comparable with the Prussian institution of the same name. Simultaneously with the abolition of the Privy Council College in 1808 and the division of the central administration into five ministerial departments, the Grand Duke determined: "Around Our Highest Person We Form a Cabinet Council" (Regierungsblatt 1808 p. 187). This Cabinet was one of the Supreme State Authorities and was assigned the following business area: 1. Processing of all letters addressed to the Grand Duke 2. All Systematica, establishing and prescribing the general constitutional and administrative and principles 3. All Family and House Affairs 4. All Court, Order and Civil Uniform Affairs 5. All Court and State Ceremonial 6. The Directorate of the General State Archives 7. Supervision and Management of the State Handbook to be published annually 8. The Affairs of the Art Institutions belonging to the Court (= Reg. Bl. 1808 S.193But already in the following year, as a result of the organizational edict of 26 November 1809, this "Cabinet Ministry" was abolished again as a special department. The "Cabinets Minister" remained "the organ through which the requests of the Ministries to Us and Our Resolution go to them" (= Reg. Bl. 1809 p. 397). On 21 September 1811 the Grand Duke appointed the State Councillors Brauer, Hofer and Wielandt as Secret Cabinet Councils, the Legation Council Ring as Secret Expedition Council and the Expeditor Weiß as Secret Cabinet Secretary (= Reg. Bl. 1811 p. 108). The "Geheimen Cabinets-Referate" (Secret Cabinets) thus created were abolished on 15 June 1817. For the objects to be processed in the Secret Cabinet a State Secretary was appointed, who at the same time became a member of the State Ministry and the State Council (= Reg. Bl. 1817 p.65). Thus the Secret Cabinet lost its central importance, which had been intended in 1808, early on; what remained was the role of a secretariat for the personal government actions of the sovereign. Towards the middle of the 19th century the Secret Cabinet consisted of a board of directors, a registrar and a chancellor's list. After a separate Court Secretariat had been set up on 24 May 1854 to deal with the Court's administrative affairs (= Reg. Bl. 1854 p. 256), the Privy Cabinet processed: 1. all ideas, complaints, petitions and other submissions directly addressed to the Grand Duke, insofar as they did not belong to the business circles of the Court's offices and were not purely matters of support; 2. the Court's administrative office was set up on 24 May 1854 (= Reg. Bl. 1854 p. 256); 3. the Court's administrative office was set up on 24 May 1854; 3. the Court's administrative office was set up on 24 May 1854 (= Reg. Bl. 1854 p. 256); 3. the Court's administrative office was set up on 24 May 1854. Execution of highest orders in matters of state administration; 3. appointment to upper court and court batches; 4. drafting of highest hand letters; 5. affairs of the order secretariat. On 14 April 1919 the ministry of state ordered the abolition of the secret cabinet. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (= Gesetz- und Verordnungsblatt 1919 p. 245) was responsible for handling the business of the Order's Chancellery. Content: Although the holdings cover almost all areas of politics, economics, culture, confessions, court and military, they often contain a richer and more complete tradition that can be found in the respective specialist authorities. Because of the many pencil-written concepts of Grand Duke Friedrich I he nevertheless occupies a central place among the court documents. Since the applications for immediate assistance are mostly requests for support, gifts, addresses, etc., numerous artists, writers and associations are represented here.Julius Kastner 1964 / Hansmartin Schwarzmaier 1991Konrad Krimm 2009
