Since the registry office responsible for special cases in Germany and abroad - the so-called 'Standesamt I' - is still located in Berlin today, traditions from this office also reach the Landesarchiv. They have been grouped together in group 'S'. These traditions all refer to areas that are not part of Berlin. The largest part of this group is the stock S Rep. 100 with the still existing documents from the former German territories in the East - as far as these were taken to Germany and did not perish in the war. In addition, there are holdings of notarizations of Germans living abroad, namely as far as they were carried out in German consulates or embassies ('consular registers') or in the German colonies ('colonial registers'). There are also documents from the territories occupied by Germany during the Second World War (these are only deaths).Two large holdings contain the documents issued by the registry office I itself within the framework of its special jurisdiction.The S holdings also regularly receive supplements in accordance with the deadlines of the Civil Status Act, but only every five years.
