History of the Inventor: The fleet built in the Electorate of Brandenburg and later in the Kingdom of Prussia fell into decay in the late 18th century. At the beginning of the 19th century Prussia was not a maritime power. It was not until 1811/13 that the company began to acquire vessels for coastal defence again and to develop plans that went beyond this. By letter of 14.11.1817 the other naval powers were informed about the new Prussian war flag. Responsibility for naval affairs lay with the Prussian War Ministry, in which a department for naval affairs finally existed from 1848. At the same time, there was a Technical Marine Commission to draw up proposals for further action. The Royal Prussian Navy was formed with a corresponding Most High cabinet order of 5.9.1848 and subsequently warships were partly commissioned for construction, partly bought or taken over by the fleet of the German Confederation. The Royal Prussian Admiralty was established as the highest naval authority in its own right with the Most High Cabinet Order of 14.11.1853. The head of the Admiralty was the Prussian Prime Minister. The Admiralty at that time consisted of three departments (for Command Affairs; for Technical Affairs; for General and Administrative Affairs). On 30 March 1854, Prince Adalbert of Prussia, the previous head of the Technical Navy Commission, was finally appointed "Admiral of the Prussian Coast" and Commander-in-Chief of the Prussian Navy. On 14.3.1859 the Admiralty was reorganized and divided into two departments (Naval Administration; High Command). Soon afterwards, however, a fundamental reorganization took place. The Admiralty was dissolved with the Most High Cabinet Order of 16.4.1861 and the Prussian Navy Ministry was formed in its place. This was led in personal union by the Prussian Minister of War. With the 25.6.1867 the Prussian Navy went together with the naval forces of the other German states to the North German Federation. The designations in the subsequent period are inconsistent. In research, the term North German Navy is commonly used. The ships now also carried the war flag of the North German Confederation accordingly. The Reichsverfassung of 20.4.1871 defined the navy as a Reich matter and spoke of both "Reichsmarine" and "Kaiserlicher Marine". By an appropriate instruction of Kaiser Wilhelm I. to the chief of the new upper authority for the navy from 1.2.1872 the navy was called from this day on "imperial navy". The Prussian Navy Ministry thus became the Imperial Admiralty. The head of the admiralty was to lead the administration under the responsibility of the Reich Chancellor and the supreme command according to the orders of the emperor (imperial command power). The Admiralty remained the supreme naval authority until 1889, after several reorganizations. Due to the constant enlargement and expansion of the Imperial Navy, the Admiralty was dissolved on 1.4.1889 and three top authorities were created in its place: Imperial Naval Cabinet (see RM 2), Reichsmarineamt (see RM 3), Oberkommando der Marine (see RM 4).

Responsibility for construction has changed several times since the introduction of the Ministerial Constitution in Prussia in 1808. Since 1808 building matters were dealt with in the 2nd Section for Trade Police in the Ministry of the Interior, in 1814 they were transferred to the Ministry of Finance. In 1817 an independent Ministry for Trade, Commerce and Construction was formed from the corresponding section, which was dissolved again in 1825. After the dissolution of this ministry, the building cases were successively assigned to different ministries and were returned to the Ministry of Finance in 1837, where they remained until the creation of the Ministry of Public Works in 1878. The newly created Ministry was also responsible for railways (see: I. HA Rep. 93 E). As the central authority for building construction, railways, roads and hydraulic engineering, the Ministry and its subordinate authorities and bodies were responsible for planning, designing and supervising the execution of the works carried out by the State in these areas. The Ministry cooperated with the military building authorities in the construction of military buildings. When the Ministry of Public Works was dissolved in 1921, the railway administration and part of the hydraulic and road works were transferred to the Reich. The rest of the portfolio was divided among the Prussian Ministries of Trade and Industry, Agriculture, Domains and Forests, and Finance. The building construction was transferred to the Ministry of Finance and formed its own department there. Heinrich Waldmann has conducted a detailed investigation into the history of the ministry (including the previous authorities). Annex V of the paper also contains an overview of the periodicals published by the Ministry. The indexing and organization of the building department of the Ministry of Public Works was carried out in 1968 by the archivist Maria Lehmann under the guidance of the lecturer Heinrich Waldmann. At the same time, the files that had accumulated at other ministries before the creation of the Ministry of Public Works were brought together in this inventory. This also applies to files of the building construction department of the Ministry of Finance, in so far as they were proven to be assigned to the Ministry of Public Works. The stock Ministry of Public Works is divided into four departments: 1 Administration 2 Building construction 3 Road and bridge construction 4 Hydraulic engineering In the years 1995/96, the part of the stock remaining in Dahlem Ministry of Public Works (208 VE) was dissolved and for the most part included in the stock I. HA Rep. 93 B Ministry of Public Works incorporated. 61 file volumes were assigned to the Railway Department (I. HA Rep. 93 E). The production of a finding aid book was all the more necessary, since so far as finding aids only the finding aid card index provided in the year 1968, meanwhile badly readable, partly damaged and not yet finally edited was present. Some title recordings were checked for questionable spelling of individual place and person names or questionable dating on the basis of the tape in the outdoor magazine. In the stock Rep. 93 B the former stock Rep. 93 C was already incorporated in Merseburg. In the literature a part of the files of the Ministry of Public Works are still cited with the inventory designation Rep. 93 C and old file number. A corresponding concordance was therefore compiled in a separate volume. In 1992, 12 linear metres (405 units) of files from the Prussian Ministry of Public Works were transferred from the Bundesarchiv Potsdam to the Geheime Staatsarchiv PK. In November 1990, the files had been transferred to the Federal Archives under the provenance of the Reich Ministry from the Military Interim Archive Potsdam, into which they had entered in 1971 from the Administrative Archive of the National People's Army. These files, which have been valid since the Second World War for lost files, concern lighthouse and nautical marker matters on the Prussian coasts of the Baltic and North Seas in the period from 1800 to 1932. A large number of the volumes contain maps, site plans, technical drawings with scale specifications, construction sketches as well as blueprints of lighthouses and lighthouse parts or other inventions in nautical marker matters. About 100 files form the file group "Handakten des Seezeichenausschusses" . Most of these files were recorded by Dr Meyer-Gebel, Dr Strecke and the undersigned in the period 1992 to 1993. The incorporation of these archival documents and the technical processing of the magazine into the hydraulic engineering department took place in 1996. Furthermore, from the end of 1996 to 1998, 110 packages (905 units; approx. 15 linear metres) with the designation "Rep. 93 unprocessed access Magdeburg" were recorded, which were stored at the end of the inventory. The origin of the name "Zugang Magdeburg" is not comprehensible. In the inventory file "Economy and Transport" from the period from 1959 to 1974 no such information could be found. In contrast, in the file "Aktenzugänge, 1965-1974" (Access to Files, 1965-1974), it was possible to ascertain a case of a larger file transfer from the German Central Archive Potsdam in 1970. The archives mainly consist of hydraulic engineering documents, including river regulations, harbour, dune, bank and lock constructions, as well as memorandums, calculations, maps and plans (some coloured) on the construction and extension of waterways. These include 29 volumes from the Planning Chamber of the Ministry of Public Works, including an inventory extract of the maps and town plans available in the Planning Chamber. Oversized maps or plans as well as drawings were taken from the holdings and assigned to the XI HA General Map Collection. 211 file volumes, mainly journals and index volumes, have been incorporated into the Railway Department (I. HA Rep. 93 E) of the Ministry of Public Works inventory. When the files were entered into the Oracle database of the Secret State Archives, the data records of the holdings already entered under the old IT system were corrected or standardised. In February 1999 the magazine-technical processing took place. The Department of Hydraulic Engineering is now the most comprehensive collection of the Rep. 93 B Ministry of Public Works. Due to the frequent change of responsibility for the building industry, the holdings of the I. Main Department Rep. 77 Ministry of the Interior, Rep. 87 Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests, Rep. 120 Ministry of Trade and Industry and Rep. 151 Ministry of Finance are to be consulted in addition to the holdings listed below. As part of the preparation of an inventory of the Prussian building administration until 1848, files from the Ministry of Public Works, among other things, were made accessible in detail.
