Archival history

The files are from the Karlsruhe Landwehr Inspectorate and the Karlsruhe Landsturm Inspectorate.<br />The Karlsruhe Landwehr Inspectorate was established in Karlsruhe in July 1912. Her responsibilities included military monitoring, replacement and recruitment of recruits. After the end of the war, they were given the designation Inspections of District Commands.<br />The Landsturm inspector was the immediate superior of all Landsturm troops with the exception of the Landsturm units subordinated to the commander of the Upper Rhine fortifications.<br /><br />Contents and evaluation<br /><br />The inventory consists primarily of the records of the military offices responsible for monitoring the armed forces and providing replacements. Particularly noteworthy are the groups of files on the East Asian and African protection troops, the establishment of formations, replacement matters, replacement requirements, mobilization, the use of the land storm battalions, personnel matters, mobilization and use of the land storm, the railway protection guards and demobilization.<br /><br />Landwehr-Inspektion Karlsruhe: The Landwehr-Inspektion Karlsruhe was established in Karlsruhe in July 1912. Her responsibilities included military monitoring, replacement and recruitment of recruits. The district commandos were subordinated to it for the fulfilment of these tasks. She was under the command of the 28th Infantry Division. During the war, the Landwehr inspections were responsible not only for the deputy infantry brigades but also for training the reserve army. They were directly responsible to the respective Deputy General Commands. After the end of the war, they were given the designation Inspections of District Commands.<br /><br />Landsturm-Inspektion Karlsruhe: The Landsturm-Inspektor, who also bore the designation Landsturm-Inspektion Karlsruhe, was the immediate superior of all Landsturm troops with the exception of the Landsturm units subordinated to the commander of the Upper Rhine fortifications. He was directly assigned to the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps. His responsibilities included the training and supervision of the landstorm formations. The Landstorm Inspection of the XIV Army Corps was dissolved on 30.06.1918.<br /><br />Continuing history: After the end of the war, the files remained with the settlement office of the Grenadier Regiment 109. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps began, in which the archives of the settlement offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the records of the XIV Army Corps to the Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe between 1947 and 1949. A very detailed inventory history is contained in the preface of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (fonds 456 F 8). The stock comprises 56 fascicles with a circumference of 1.80 linear metres.<br /><br />Literature references: Die Badener im Weltkrieg 1914/18, edited by Wilhelm Müller-Loebnitz, Karlsruhe 1935.
