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.

The main purpose of the company was the processing of raw sugar into consumable sugar. Bread, cube, utility, granulated and icing sugar as well as molasses were produced. In 1885, the AG took over the Hallesche Zuckersiederei Compagnie auf Aktien, which had existed since 1835 (Am Hospitalplatz, Halle-Glaucha), the operation of which was abandoned in 1906. In 1922 the refinery joined the Vereinigung Mitteldeutscher Rohzuckerfabriken Halle (VEMIRO), whose representatives (raw sugar factories) held the majority of the shares in the company. As a result, raw sugar was processed only on the basis of factory wage contracts. Sugar sales were organized by Zuckervertriebsgesellschaft AG Halle. In the 1940s, prisoners of war, forced labourers and foreign workers were also used to ensure refinery production. In World War II, the sugar refinery AG was heavily destroyed, expropriated in 1946 and placed under the control of the industrial works of Saxony-Anhalt. As of 1 July 1948, the company was transferred into public ownership as VVB Zuckerindustrie - VEB Zuckerraffinerie Halle. In 1951 it became the VEB "Vorwärts" Zuckerraffinerie Halle. Inventory information: From the administrative archive of the VEB Zuckerkombinat Halle, about 6 linear metres of documents from the Zuckerraffinerie AG Halle were handed over to the Staatsarchiv Magdeburg in 1981, where the files were redrawn on index cards in 1984. The collection was transferred to the newly founded Landesarchiv Merseburg (later Landesarchiv Sachsen-Anhalt, Merseburg Department) in 1994. In 2013, the search index was retroconverted in the scopeArchiv distorting program. In 2016 the complete revision of the written material was carried out.
