Fonds Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg, Abt. Staatsarchiv Freiburg, B 728/1 - District Office Offenburg (inventory)

Nr. 1-10406

History of the authorities: As a result of the territorial upheavals in the Napoleonic period, a total of 66 sovereign and 53 rank sovereign offices were created in Baden on the basis of the organisational edict of 26 October 1809. The number of district offices (since 1939: administrative districts) and upper offices was reduced in the course of the time by merging and abolition, so that 1945 in the today's administrative district Freiburg only 16 administrative districts (Donaueschingen, Emmendingen, Freiburg, Kehl, Konstanz, Lahr, Lörrach, Müllheim, Neustadt, Offenburg, Säckingen, Stockach, Überlingen, Villingen, Waldshut, Wolfach) and - since 1939 - two city districts (Freiburg, Konstanz) existed. Apart from the offices of the rank and rank abolished in 1849 at the latest, the district offices were purely state authorities. Only by the administrative district order of 24.6.1939 they received - de facto however only on paper - also tasks of a self-administration body. They were primarily responsible for general state administration, but were also responsible for the police and - until the establishment of their own court organisation (1857) - the judiciary, in particular the civil courts. As administrative authorities they were assigned to the Ministry of the Interior and subordinated to changing central authorities (district directorates, from 1832 district governments, from 1863 state commissioners); with regard to the judiciary, the court courts and the district directorates or district governments were superior to them.1819: The district office Appenweier was abolished and its area of responsibility distributed among the offices Offenburg and Oberkirch until 1952. The district office Offenburg receives: Appenweier, Durbach, Ebersweier, Herztal, Urloffen and Windschläg.1872:The Gengenbach office is abolished and assigned to the Offenburg upper office.1934:The Offenburg administrative district receives the Dundenheim municipality from the Lahr administrative district.1936:The Oberkirch administrative district is abolished and integrated into the Offenburg administrative district. In return, Offenburg transfers the municipalities of Zell am Harmersbach, Oberharmersbach and Unterharmersbach to the district of Wolfach as well as Altenheim, Appenweier, Urloffen, Marlen-Goldscheuer and Müllen to the district of Kehl.1939:The district of Offenburg transfers the municipality of Biberach to the district of Wolfach. Inventory history: Before the beginning of the indexing work, the files of the Offenburg District Office were distributed among the following holdings:a) B 728/1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10;b) E 29/1 and 2;c) G 21/1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11;d) W 499. Initially, the holdings listed under a) and b) were combined to form holdings B 728/1 (new). Foreign provenances in these holdings - above all files of the district offices Gengenbach and Oberkirch as well as of the Donaukreisdirektorium and the government of the Mittelrheinkreis - were removed beforehand and either assigned to other holdings of the State Archives Freiburg in accordance with the provenance or transferred to the General State Archives Karlsruhe for reasons of competence. In a second step, all files with a term up to and including 1952 were taken from the holdings mentioned under c) and transferred to the existing holdings. Stocks G 21/8 and 11 did not contain any such files, while stock G 21/10 was completely absorbed by B 728/1. In justified exceptional cases, such as when the proportion of written material created after 1952 in a file was limited to a few documents, even files with a term beyond 1952 were included in B 728/1.Thirdly, all files of the provenance "Landratsamt Offenburg" from the provisional stock W 499, which contains documents from the stocks 129 to 228 of the General State Archives Karlsruhe, which reached the State Archives Freiburg within the scope of the mutual equalisation of stocks, were also included. Under the pre-signature 1 you will find the last signature used in the State Archives Freiburg before the new indexing, under the pre-signature 2 the penultimate signature of the State Archives Freiburg and under the pre-signature 3 the signature formerly used in the General State Archives Karlsruhe - Local files on Bottenau can also be found under Durbach - For better orientation in the local files in the paper index, the respective place name is listed in the annotation field for each file.The present holdings were recorded by Bernhard Schühly from autumn 2004 to summer 2006. The undersigned was responsible for supervising the work. The existence B 728/1 covers 10,406 Faszikel after its new listing now and measures 75.5 lfd.m.Freiburg, September 2006 Dr. Christof StraußIn the course of a virtual unification of the spatially at different places stored documents of the regional office/county office Offenburg the organization of the existence was extended by two points. Under "Akten in der Abt. 229 des Generallandesarchivs Karlsruhe" you can find documents of the district office Offenburg, which were classified in Karlsruhe in the inventory 229 (special files of the smaller offices and places). Numerous general files which have not been transferred to the Freiburg State Archives and which are kept in Offenburg can be found under the heading "Files with terms up to 1952 in the Offenburg District Archives". For these documents, the title recordings made in the Offenburg district archives and the structure used there were taken over in their entirety, although in individual cases names had to be omitted. It is not possible to order files from these two subdivisions from the Freiburg State Archives and must be ordered from the Karlsruhe General State Archives or the Offenburg District Archives.Freiburg, February 2007 Dr. Christof Strauß
