Find aids: Find book from 1990 (online searchable); partly unexcavated registry formers: Walbeck belongs to the city of Hettstedt, Lkr. Mansfeld-Südharz, Saxony-Anhalt. In 992 Otto III from Wittum transferred the royal court of Walbeck to Empress Adelheid of Quedlinburg to establish a Benedictine monastery consecrated in 997. In 1540/42 the Counts of Mansfeld secularised the monastery over which they had exercised the bailiwick since 1387. During the sequestration in 1570/73, Walbeck was placed under the administration of the Electorate of Saxony as part of the county of Mansfeld-Vorderort. In 1815, it passed to Prussia, where it was assigned to the province of Saxony in 1816-1945. In 1563 Count Hans Albrecht von Mansfeld-Vorderort pledged the Walbeck office, consisting of the monastery estate and the villages Ritterode and Meisberg, to Ludolf von Bortfeld. His descendants ceded the pledge in 1661 to Count Johann Albrecht von Ronoff, who in 1663 compared himself with the Mansfeldern on resale acquisition. In 1677 he sold it to Friedrich Casimir zu Eltz. In 1727 the estate passed from his descendants by inheritance to Philipp Wilhelm and Johann Clamor von dem Bussche. The latter acquired it in 1742 as a hereditary purchase, in 1745 achieved the status of a knight's manor with old written records, and in 1743/50 had the baroque palace built. In 1845 Walbeck fell to Friedrich August Tellemann, who had married Anna von dem Bussche, by buying out the remaining heirs. Through her daughter Anna's marriage to Heinrich Friedrich Remigius Bartels, the manor was transferred to his family, who owned it until it was expropriated in the course of the land reform in 1945. In 1827 the patrimonial jurisdiction over Walbeck, Ritterode, Meisberg (partly) and Quenstedt belonged to the manor called Rittergut. The Quenstedt manor, formed from several hereditary properties, was acquired in 1726/27 and separated again in 1843 when it was divided, and the Kupferberg manor, which had belonged to Walbeck since 1667, before Hettstedt, was temporarily co-administered. The church of Walbeck was supplied by the parish of Bräunrode. Inventory information: On the basis of a contract concluded in 2014, the holdings will be deposited in the Saxony-Anhalt State Archives.

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.

Find aids: Findbuch 2015 (online searchable) Registraturbilddner: On 5 Oct. 1923 the sugar distribution company Halle-Rositz-Holland AG was founded in Halle (Saale). After the closure of the Holland sugar factory in Dessau-Alten (1932), the company was renamed Zuckervertriebsgesellschaft Halle AG (ZVG), with branches in Halle and Rositz/Altenburg. From 1942 ZVG and the Vereinigung mitteldeutscher Rohzuckerfabriken (VEMIRO) formed a dual company within the meaning of the Cartel Tax Regulation. The sugar distribution company coordinates the supply of raw sugar to the sugar refineries, the sale of sugar products, controlled the beet cultivation and was the sales organ of the raw sugar factories combined in VEMIRO, primarily in the Halle, Köthen and Zeitz/Altenburg regions. It belonged to the Berlin Sugar Industry Economic Group and to the Berlin Association of the German Sugar Industry. In the 1930s and 1940s, the company also provided foreign labour and forced labour for the refineries and sugar factories. In 1946 the company was expropriated, assigned to Industriewerke Sachsen-Anhalt and dissolved in 1947. Their tasks and assets were taken over by the Halle sugar refinery. Inventory information: From the administrative archive of the VEB Zuckerkombinat Halle, about 2 linear metres of ZVG documents were handed over to the Staatsarchiv Magdeburg in 1981, where the files were recorded on index cards and re-signed in 1984. The holdings were transferred in 1994 to the newly founded Landesarchiv Merseburg (later Landeshauptarchiv Sachsen-Anhalt, Merseburg Department), where the card index was retroconverted in 2011 in the scopeArchiv archive programme. 2015 saw the complete revision and reorganization of the archive holdings.

The main products were agricultural equipment and machines for customers at home and abroad. In 1904 the company joined the Wohnungsbauverein Artern eGmbH as a co-partner. In 1910 the Maschinenfabrik merged with Ergon-Kosmos AG in Karlsruhe, in 1912 with Ruhrwerke Motoren- und Dampfkesselfabrik AG in Duisburg and finally took over Eisenwerk Brünner AG (later GmbH) in Artern in 1938. Sales offices were established in Elbing/Westpreußen (today Elblang, Poland), Nuremberg, Duisburg, Prague and Karlsruhe as well as Wroclaw, Gdansk, Berlin, Frankfurt/Oder, Hanover and Vienna. In the 1920s and 1930s the production and sales offer of the company was considerably expanded. In particular, Kaha, planet and zenith milk separators, ice machines, various types of steamers, steam generators, potato and milk can washing machines, shot and fertilizer mills, boilers, hay and straw blowers, boilers and radiators were offered. During the 2nd World War, war materials, anti-aircraft accessories and gunships were also built. Between 1946 and 1949, the company was confiscated, sequestered and liquidated, and converted into the machine factory of Soviet AG Maschinenbau vorm. Kyffhäuserhütte (SAG) in the Transmasch combine. In 1952 the company was transferred into public ownership as VEB Maschinenfabrik Kyffhäuserhütte. Inventory information: In 1988, the company archive of the VEB Kyffhäuserhütte Artern handed over to the State Archive Magdeburg documents of the Aktien-Maschinenfabrik Kyffhäuserhütte Artern and its successor company which had been indexed via a number list and an incomplete card index. The partial revision of the index data was carried out in 1991 by an archival assistant, with minor corrections to archive signatures, durations and file titles. There were no cassations of archive material. In 1994 the Landeshauptarchiv Magdeburg transferred the files to the newly founded Landesarchiv Merseburg. In 2011 the card index was first retroconverted in the archive program scopeArchiv, in 2014 the final archive processing of the files took place. Additional information: Further parts of the company tradition of the Kyffhäuserhütte Aktienmaschinenfabrik Artern or from the time of the VEB Maschinenfabrik Kyffhäuserhütte are kept in the Museum Kyffhäuserhütte (Artern, Oberer Hof) and at the Kyffhäuser Maschinenfabrik Artern GmbH (Artern, Otto-Brünner-Straße 4).

Landratsämter und Kreiskommunalverwaltungen im Regierungsbezirk Magdeburg. In 1931, 1935 and 1941, the main part of the collection was transferred to the Magdeburg State Archives, and in 1935 it was subjected to a single-stage classification according to 50 alphabetically ordered subject groups. The distortion was limited to the reproduction of the file titles of the registry creator that were handed down on the file covers. In 1966, the Stendal District Archives issued a further copy of the files of the District Committee. Most of the files were incorporated into the existing order in 1980. The small volume of the records can be attributed to considerable losses in the war and post-war period. In the course of the revision and cartoning of the inventory in 2010, it was numbered consecutively, eliminating the Roman classification numbers. The re-signing is still verifiable on file level over the listing indication "earlier signatures". When the inventory was reviewed for online publication in 2016, the structure created in 1935 was retained. Where it appeared necessary, some subject group names were linguistically adapted or adapted to the actual tradition. In addition, the file titles were revised if they were wrongly copied from the file covers or if they were too narrow when the files were created. In the case of file group no. 492-582, the notes on contents were also transferred from the old prefix sheets of the district archives and the file units were newly recorded in the case of file group no. 330-407. Since these are usually individual case files on the performance of the dismembrations in the 19th century, formed when bundles of files were separated, the farm to be dismembered was recorded with the name of the owner and the duration of the file or volume. The file no. 489 was transferred to the inventory G 4 Reichstreuhänder der Arbeit Mitteldeutschland/ Gauarbeitsamt Magdeburg-Anhalt, Magdeburg. As a result of the examination of the inventory, the new online searchable finding aid was created. Plans and drawings must be ordered stating the storage signature. Additional information: District history The district Stendal was formed in 1816 from the southeast part of the Altmark. In the French Westphalian period, the district area belonged to the Stendal district of the Elbe département. The seat of the district administrator's office and the later district municipal administration was Stendal. From 1909 to 1950, the district capital formed its own city district. The rest of the district remained unchanged until 1950 and also after the district reform of June 1950. During the administrative reform of 1952, the district of Stendal ceded its southern part to the newly formed district of Tangerhütte, while on the other hand it received six municipalities of the district of Gardelegen. The Stendal district belonged to the Magdeburg district of the GDR. The district included 119 villages in its formation. After numerous incorporations, the departure of the city of Stendal and the dissolution of the independent manor districts, there were 96 municipalities in 1939, including the cities of Arneburg, Bismark, Tangerhütte (until 1928 Vaethen, city law since 1935) and Tangermünde.

Find aids: Findbuch 2001 (online searchable) Registraturbilddner: Offices as their own administrative level emerged in the course of a radical general reorganization of the municipal conditions in 1878. this reorganization had become necessary due to the diversity of the municipal constitutions in the two halves of Anhalt-Bernburg and Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen united in 1863, which had led to divergences within individual districts as a result of the merging of districts from areas of the two constituent states. In 1878, according to the Prussian model, administrative districts were inserted between the level of the districts and that of the municipalities. With the exception of the ducal castle districts and the cities, the five Anhalt districts were divided into official districts. This system of office formation also included the manor districts outside the municipal districts as well as the state fiscal domains and forests. The administrative districts could consist of one or more rural municipalities or one or more manor districts or rural municipalities and manor districts. The district administration was headed by a head official. The offices were responsible in particular for the rural police administration. With the formation of the administrative districts as districts of the general state administration in 1878, the police tasks of the former local police were transferred to the offices. Within the framework of the establishment of the police administration in Anhalt, the head of the local police was now in charge of the local police, in particular the security, order, customs, health, poor, road, water, field, forestry, fishing, trade, construction, fire police, etc., insofar as these were not reserved for the district directorate by special statutory provisions. As a police authority, the head of the office had the right to issue police ordinances for the district. As organs of the head of the municipality, the heads of the municipalities were entitled, among other things, to arrest and hold persons in custody. The heads of the municipalities also acted as organs of the office in the registration and deregistration of persons, the control of the drawing up of Gesindebücher or the health police. In 1935, all regulations concerning municipalities and manor districts were repealed and responsibilities transferred to the district committees. Of the 14 offices in total (Amt Aderstedt, Altenburg, Gerbitz [Pobzig], Giersleben [Warmsdorf], Gröna, Hohenerxleben, Ilberstedt, Kleinmühlingen [Mühlingen], Latdorf, Mehringen, Neundorf, Oberpeißen, Rathmannsdorf, Schackstedt), which existed in the district of Bernburg, have been handed down from nine offices (Altenburg, Gerbitz [Pobzig], Giersleben [Warmsdorf], Gröna, Hohenerxleben, Mühlingen, Latdorf, Neundorf, Rathmannsdorf). Rathmannsdorf and Hohenerxleben an der Bode belonged to the noble court of the von Krosigk family until 1850. When the districts in Anhalt-Bernburg were formed, the court district was added to the Bernburg district. When the offices were established in 1878, the community of Rathmannsdorf was merged with the manor to form one office. In 1952 the municipality Rathmannsdorf came to the district Staßfurt, district Magdeburg in execution of the administrative reform and reorganization of the countries. Inventory information: The stock of the Rathmannsdorf office was transferred in 1971 from the Staßfurt County Council to the Oranienbaum State Archive (today the Saxony-Anhalt State Main Archive, Dessau Department). The main focus is on: Judicial police and criminal justice, measures immediately after the National Socialists seized power, security police, citizen/people's militia, health police, veterinary police.

Search aids: Search book from 1814, Neues Findbuch 2016 (online searchable) Registrar: Already in the Constitution of the Kingdom of Westphalia of 7 December 1807 (Bull. 1807/08 I, 3) the division into departments, districts and municipalities for the Kingdom had been introduced by Art. 34 to 37. The total number of departments was between eight and twelve, the number of districts in a department between three and five. In each department, in addition to the prefect, a general secretary, a prefecture council and a general department council were established for the administration. The entire administration in the narrower sense belonged to the department of the Ministry of the Interior. The prefect was entrusted, under royal authority and supervision, with all branches of public administration, including tax administration, within the scope of his department. In addition, there were military tasks such as the recruitment and supervision of the National Guards, troop catering, preparation and implementation of troop recruitment. In the district of his département capital he also held the office of sub-prefect. The Secretary General was the permanent representative of the Prefect. He was the director of the administrative office, took care of the expeditions and managed the archives. The remaining subjects were dealt with in the offices of the departments. The Prefectural Council, consisting of three to four members under the chairmanship of the Prefect in each department, was the rulings authority on disputed matters. The prefectural councils decided as administrative authorities and their decisions could only be annulled by the Council of State. The General Council, composed of candidates proposed to the King from the Departmental Colleges, consisted of fifteen to twenty members. This committee elected the prefect and the secretary from among its members. The General Council of the Department met once a year for two weeks. He had to distribute the direct taxes among the individual districts, decide on the requests for tax reductions received from the district councils and municipalities, determine the subsidies for the departmental expenses and submit the accounts. Finally, he was entitled to comment on the situation and needs of the department. Each department was divided into three to five districts. Each district was headed by the subprefect, assisted by the secretary of the subprefecture and a district council. The districts were divided into five to 19 cantons, with larger cities forming their own cantons (= city districts). At the head of a canton stood the Canton Mayor, who was usually also Maire of his residence. He stood between the sub-prefect and the communemaires and supervised the communemaires, whose management he headed. A Mayre, one or more police inspectors and a municipal council were appointed to administer the individual municipalities. Maire was responsible for the administration of the municipal property and the municipal institutions and supervised the local police. He was also responsible for municipal spending. The Elbe département was formed from the left Rhine parts of the duchy of Magdeburg, the county of Barby, the offices of Gommern (Saxony), Calvörde (Brunswick), Klötze (Hanover), parts of the principality of Halberstadt and the Altmark. The capital of the department was Magdeburg. The department consisted of the districts of Magdeburg, Neuhaldensleben, Stendal and Salzwedel. The first prefect of the Elbe Department was the former Prussian District Administrator Ernst Alexander von der Schulenburg, who was suspended in the summer of 1811 and replaced by the Police Prefect of Kassel, who had been General Director of the High Police until October 1809. Inventory information: The holdings came via the government archive Magdeburg (time of the Kgr. Westphalen Ba Nr. 1) into the today's state archive. In former times it was called Rep. A 76 III Ba No. 1. The traditions of the central authorities of the Kingdom of Westphalia are now kept in the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage in Berlin. In June and July 2016, the retroconversion of the distortion information took place, which was reviewed in August 2016 and supplemented by numerous German file titles. In this context, the history of the registry formers and the inventory information were entered and a new finding aid book was compiled.

Find aids: Find book from 1952 (online searchable) Filing form: Langenapel belongs to the Hanseatic city of Salzwedel, Altmarkkreis Salzwedel, Saxony-Anhalt. The Langenapel, founded in the course of the eastern colonisation of the 12th/13th century, was located in the Altmark, which developed into a territory in the 13th/14th century and finally came under the sovereignty of the Electors of Brandenburg in 1449. In 1816 the Altmark became part of the Prussian province of Saxony, which existed until 1945. For 1375 a Brandenburg castle in the possession of the von Crucemann family is documented in Langenapel. In the early 15th century, the castle fief of Salzwedel Castle passed to the Knesebeck family (black line), who, in 1425/33, brought the entire village to themselves through exchange contracts with the Schulenburg family. A storming by the citizens of Salzwedel in 1443 and an opening treaty of 1469 deprived the castle of its military significance. However, in the late 15th century the Chancellery of Kurbrandenburg counted the Knesebecks on Langenapel among the exclusive circle of the feudatories of the castle. The manor, which had been converted from a castle into a state manor, remained in family ownership until its expropriation in the course of the land reform in 1945. In 1842, the manor included patrimonial jurisdiction and the church patronage over Langenapel, which was parsed after Easter Sole. The property complex also included a manor in Dähre, acquired in 1544, and a fortification in Lagendorf that was documented in 1616. Around 1897, the Knesebeck family acquired the Deutschhorst manor from the von Meding family, the manor archive of which was incorporated into the collection. Inventory information: The archive of the Langenapel estate of Knesebeck was seized by the priest Dr. Nötzel in Osterwohle and taken over by the Saxony-Anhalt state archives in Magdeburg in 1948. As the holdings had signatures, the old structure was restored according to the signatures. The order and recording of the archive records as well as the creation of a register took place in 1952. The retroconversion of the present finding aid register was carried out in October 2013. On the basis of a contract concluded in 2008, the holdings will be deposited in the Saxony-Anhalt State Archives.

Find aids: Findbuch (online searchable) Registraturbilder: At the end of the 19th century, the development of a large chemical industry in Bitterfeld began. In 1893, Elektrochemische Werke GmbH, Berlin, built a chemical factory with an electrical plant for the production of caustic soda and chlorinated lime. In the same year, Chemische Fabrik Elektron AG, Frankfurt/a., decided to M., a subsidiary of Chemische Fabrik Griesheim, to establish a branch in Bitterfeld. In 1894, the Berlin-based Actiengesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation also opted for the Bitterfeld site and built a factory for dyestuffs. The choice of location was favoured above all by the presence of lignite deposits, water, clay and clay deposits as well as potash salt deposits around Halle. Equally important for transport was the connection to the railway lines. Walther Rathenau was the first managing director of Elektrochemische Werke GmbH in Bitterfeld. Carl Pistor became head of the Bitterfeld plants of Chemische Fabrik Elektron. Chemische Fabrik Griesheim and Chemische Fabrik Elektron AG merged in 1898. The plants were named Plant I (in the south) for the former plant of Chemische Fabrik Elektron and Plant II (in the north) for the leased facilities of the Elektrochemische Werke. The most important technology at the Bitterfeld site was chloralkali electrolysis. Until 1945, the most important production lines included chloralkali electrolysis products, aluminium and magnesium production. From 1925, Bitterfeld belonged to the IG Farben group and became the headquarters of the IG Farben Betriebsgemeinschaft Mitteldeutschland. With order no. 124 of the SMAD of 30 Oct. 1945, the IG plant was placed under the control of the Soviet administration. In 1946, the Bitterfelder Werke Süd and Nord were integrated into SAG Mineral-Dünggemittel "Kaustik" and thus became the property of the USSR until 1952. After that the name of the plant was VEB Elektrochemisches Kombinat Bitterfeld. Inventory information: The holdings were transferred to the Magdeburg State Archives by the VEB Chemiekombinat Bitterfeld in 1986. The works archive of the chemical combine carried out the indexing mainly by non-archival assistants, who are thus afflicted with deficiencies. In 1994 the collection was transferred to the newly founded Merseburg State Archive for reasons of competence. In 2011, a retroconversion of the finding aid book took place, which resulted in a formal revision of the data, but also in the modification or creation of some file titles. A complete revision/redevelopment of the inventory was postponed in the interest of rapid accessibility. The collection contains a small number of older and more recent documents that are not directly related to the registry formatter. Furthermore, an extensive register of forced labourers has been preserved in the inventory. Additional information: Plumpe, Gottfried: IG Farbenindustrie AG.

Find aids: Findbuch 1978, Revision 1988 (online searchable) Registraturbilder: The DCGG was founded on 12.03.1855 in Dessau on the initiative of the entrepreneur Viktor von Unruh and the Dessau banker Louis Nulandt. At first a gasworks was built in Dessau, which supplied the city with town gas for street lighting from 1856 onwards. This was followed by gas works in cities at home and abroad, such as Mönchengladbach, Magdeburg, Frankfurt/Oder, Mülheim/Ruhr, Potsdam, Warsaw and Lemberg. In 1857, Unruh brought the engineer Wilhelm Oechelhaeuser sen. into the company. In 1859 Nulandt retired after accusations of irregularities and Oechelhaeuser became the sole director general. Both the production of appliances for the sale of gas and the production of gas-consuming appliances themselves grew rapidly. The Centralwerkstatt Dessau was founded in 1871 to convert existing gas meters and to produce new ones. In 1921, the Centralwerkstatt merged with Carl Bamberg Werkstätten für Präzisionsmechanik in Berlin-Friedenau to form Askania-Werke AG. In 1872, Berlin-Anhaltische Maschinenfabrik AG (BAMAG), which manufactured the vertical furnaces used in the gas works, and Dessauer Waggonbau AG, which manufactured gas-powered trams, operated in Dessau. From 1886 Dessau received the second power station in Germany after Berlin. The required generators were developed by Wilhelm von Oechelhaeuser jun. Together with Hugo Junkers, brought into the factory in 1888, they succeeded in using powerful two-stroke counter-piston engines from 1892 onwards. Wilhelm von Oechelhaeuser jun. followed his father in 1889 as general director. Under the management of Bruno Heck, the company achieved a dominant position in Central Germany in 1917 with the founding of Elektrizitätswerke Sachsen-Anhalt AG in Halle. When the property located in the Soviet occupation zone was expropriated after the end of the war, the company moved its headquarters to Hagen/Westphalia in 1947. The alleged transfer of assets was the reason for the GDR's first Stalinist show trial, which was negotiated in 1950 under Hilde Benjamin in Dessau and ended with high prison sentences. The inventory is supplemented by the deliveries of the E-Werke in Bernburg, Dessau and Coswig. Inventory information: The collection was handed over in 1967 by the archive of the VEB Energieversorgung Halle to the then Historische Staatsarchiv Oranienbaum, now Abteilung Dessau. Small supplements were added in 1978. Included photos: 110

Find aids: Find book from 1987 (online searchable) Registraturbilddner: Eichenbarleben belongs to the municipality Hohe Börde, Lkr. Börde, Saxony-Anhalt. In the late Middle Ages, Eichenbarleben was a fief of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, which fell to the Electors of Brandenburg in 1680 as the Duchy of Magdeburg and merged in 1816 into the Prussian province of Saxony, which existed until 1945. 1140 a count Hoyer created the basis for a noble seat in oak bar life by the acquisition of 12 hooves. Since 1283 ministerials of Eichenbarleben are provable. In 1452 the castle, known as the Magdeburg fief, which belonged to the von Wanzleben family, passed to the von Alvensleben black line at Hundisburg. Since 1565 Eichenbarleben has been the seat of its own family branch. In 1813 he had to sell the estate, but it remained in family hands and belonged to the line Erxleben II since 1821. After the death of the Prussian Minister of State Count Albrecht von Alvensleben in 1858, Eichenbarleben moved to the von Krosigk family, who owned the estate until its expropriation in the course of the land reform in 1945. The manor, which was described in 1842 as fit for state parliament, included the parish patronage and the patrimonial jurisdiction over Eichenbarleben and Süplingen. Inventory information: The holdings seized in the course of the land reform were handed over to the then State Archives of Magdeburg in October 1949. An incomplete distortion list did not show any inner order. As a result, the inventory was redrawn. Additional information: Literature: aristocratic archives in the Saxony-Anhalt state archives.
