Foreword<br /><br />1 Inventory history<br /><br />1.1 Access to the city archives<br />>The documents of the inventory "ME" originate from the activities of the administration of the mayor's office or the Menden office (Rhineland).<br /><br />1.2 Components of today's inventory "ME"<br /><br />1.2.1 Threaded files<br />>The inventory mainly contains documents that were combined into inventory "I" in the 1970s. These were mostly the general, thread-bound administrative files up to about 1930. For this purpose, the titles on the file covers were mostly copied and a classified list created. <br /><br />1.2.2 Supplements until 2003<br />In addition there were later supplements which were added to the list of stock "I" until 2003. The files of these two groups (1.2.1 and 1.2.2) received signatures consisting of a carton number and an alphanumeric number, e.g. ME-K168/S96.<br /><br />1.2.3 Supplements 2003-2007<br />The supplements of the years 2003 to 2007 were recorded as ME 1048 to ME 1070. <br /><br />1.2.4 untapped documents<br />Ferner found various administrative documents that had not yet been tapped. <br /><br />1.2.5 Documents of the stock "Stadtamt 10 Hauptamt/Abteilung 100"<br />>In addition, numerous documents were added which had been added to the stock "Stadtamt 10 Hauptamt/Abteilung 100" at the end of the 1990s. For this stock there was a partly machine-written, partly hand-written delivery list of the city administration. Those documents of this collection that were completed by 1980 were added to or collected from the ME and ST collections in 2008 if they were not archival. <br />The documents of the last three groups (1.2.3 to 1.2.5) were provided with a continuous signature (ME 1071-1214). Those files of the inventory "Stadtamt 10", which were closed or created only by the municipality or city administration Sankt Augustin since 1969, were added to the inventory "ST" (ST 8 to ST 65). Insofar as they had already been started by the Menden administration, they are also included in this finding aid book. It should be noted with these files that some of them were obviously not brought together in the city archives from several narrow folders to today's files until after 1980 (e.g. ST 37, 39. 40). A concordance to the inventory "Stadtamt 10 Hauptamt/Abteilung 100" was created and can be found in the archive registry.<br /><br />1.2.6 References to Friedrich-Wilhelms-Hütte and Menden<br />In the years 2010-2012, Dr. Petra Recklies-Dahlmann was commissioned by the Troisdorf Municipal Archives to record numerous files of this inventory with references to the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Hütte, which has belonged to Troisdorf since 1969, and partly also to Menden. These additions to the contents, some of which are very extensive, were added to the existing list in February 2014 as contained annotations. We would like to thank the Troisdorf City Archivist Antje Winter M.A. and Dr. Recklies-Dahlmann for providing us with this data.<br /><br /><br /><br />1.3 Order and Drafting<br />In detail, the holdings contain 1471 archive units from 1807 to 1969, in addition to 21 archive units which were begun until 1969, but were not completed until afterwards. <br />The order and distortion of the documents (1.2.4 and 1.2.5) was carried out from January to April 2008 using the Augias-Archiv 8 program. Numerous bookmarks and transparent sleeves were removed. Insofar as the files came from stock 10 Hauptamt, the file titles and durations were checked and corrected, some notes were added to the titles. As far as the files were paginated, the number of pages was also added. <br />For time reasons, a complete re-drawing of the data sets already existing in 2003 was dispensed with. It is to be repeated at a later date. Instead, a mostly purely formal revision of the indexing took place from April to June 2008. Punctuation and spelling were corrected and titles, notes and classifications were checked for plausibility and corrected if necessary. <br />Finally, the data sets were classified on the basis of the existing classification scheme and the finding aid book was compiled. <br />>All order and development work in 2008 was carried out by Michael Korn.<br /><br />1.4 Valuation and cassation<br />Cassations were only carried out in the inventory "Stadtamt 10 Hauptamt/Abteilung 100", of which a total of 36 files were fully or partially collected (see concordance in the archive registry). In addition, surplus printed matter (e.g. test reports from waterworks) was destroyed in individual files. <br /><br />1.5 Submissions to other holdings or archives <br />- The following archive records were Submitted to other holdings or archives: <br />- 4 Bauakten zum Bauaktenbestand (formerly ME - K129/S11-14)<br />- 1 Bauakte Holzlar an das Stadtarchiv Bonn (there Signatur Ho 144)<br />- SN 52/1 (Interessengemeinschaft St.. Augustin) <br />- SN 54/1-3 (Siegburg-Mülldorf Voluntary Fire Brigade)<br />- SGA 238-271 (photocopies of records in other archives) <br />- SGR 230-239 (Budgetary Statutes of the Office, Municipalities, and Associations)<br /><br />1.6 Conservation status, technical treatment, and storage <br />The majority of thread-bound documents (see 1.2.1 above) cause major conservation problems. In many cases, the bindings are defective or numerous loose sheets have been inserted, and some covers or bracts are missing. In addition, a large part of these documents suffered in the early 1970s in the former town hall of the municipality of Sankt Augustin on Bonner Strasse under a water ingress, which led to some severe pollution, damage to the papers and (probably now inactive) mold. <br />The overall state of preservation of the newly added archive units is satisfactory. Dirt and mould do not play a major role, and the documents are usually well arranged. Of course, the acidity of the written documentation will pose problems. Major restoration measures are currently not necessary. However, in most cases the acidic folders used until 2003 must be replaced with acid-free, age-resistant folders. <br />Almost the entire stock must be transferred to acid-free cartons in the short to medium term. <br />2 Bürgermeisterei/Amt Menden<br />The Menden Mayor's Office [from 1926 Amt Menden (Rhineland)] established in 1815 initially comprised the independent communities of Buisdorf, Hangelar, Holzlar, Meindorf, Niedermenden, Niederpleis, Obermenden and Siegburg-Mülldorf. In 1906 the Siegburg-Mülldorfer districts of Zange and Hornpott were transferred to Siegburg, as was the Buisdorf district of Deichhaus in 1926. In 1935 Niedermenden and Obermenden merged to form the municipality of Menden. The partly very small independent communities did not maintain their own administration, rather these tasks were taken over by the office. <br />As part of the municipal reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia, the municipality of Sankt Augustin was founded in 1969 as the legal successor to the dissolved Menden office, and was granted municipal rights in 1977. <br />The territory of the Menden office largely coincides with that of today's Sankt Augustin. However, the Menden areas to the right of the victory around Friedrich-Wilhelms-Hütte (which in addition to the settlements and agricultural areas also included the majority of the Klöckner-Mannstaedt-Werke) came to Troisdorf; Holzlar with Kohlkaul, Heidebergen and Gielgen to Bonn. In 1969 Birlinghoven came to Sankt Augustin from the municipality of Stieldorf in the Oberpleis office. <br /><br />3 Structure of the index<br /><br />3.1 Classification<br />>The archive units were divided into several classification groups for a better overview. The original classification points A to W of the inventory ME were initially retained. The subdivision of the classification points A.1-A.5 and S.2 to S.4 has been added, and the other classification points have also been partially sharpened or expanded. The creation of a new classification was waived until all older documents had been redrawn. <br />3.2 Structure of the details for the respective archive units<br />The details for the individual archive units begin on the left with the signature [stock abbreviation "ME" or "ST" and (alpha)numeric number]. At the right edge the respective running time is indicated. Time gaps were only taken into account if they covered at least five years. Pre- and postprocessing times can be found as additional information in brackets. Square brackets were used for estimates. The term of the archive units usually includes the period of their creation, in individual cases also the period which is described within the documents.<br />The title (bold) which reflects the content of the archive units has been placed underneath. <br />- Contains for the listing of the complete file contents;<br />- Contains among other things (among other things) for the highlighting of special single pieces;<br />- Contains above all (above all.) for the emphasis of the content emphasis;<br />- Contains only for a restriction of the title;<br />- Darin für inhaltlich oder formal abweichendes.<br />The titles of the files with alphanumeric signatures (e.g. ME - K168/S96) are largely based on the inscriptions of the file covers. However, most of them do not indicate what is in the files on the subject in question, but that documents on this subject, if they had been placed in the registry at all, should be included in that file. Therefore, these file titles often describe the target content rather than the actual content. <br />It should be noted that terms that are typical for a certain period of time are used as technical terms wherever possible (if necessary with an explanation in square brackets). Discriminatory, but time-typical terms were also left as they were in the unlisted files, insofar as they could have been replaced only with very great effort. <br />A special feature of many municipal administrations in the Prussian Rhine province can also be found in the files of the mayor's office Menden: The division into Generalia and Specialia. Generalia files mostly contain legal provisions and circulars of higher authorities, whereas Specialia files mainly contain information on local or regional contents. If possible, this designation was taken over during distortion. <br /><br />3.3 Use and blocking periods<br />The use of the deposited archival records by third parties is governed by the regulations for use of the Stadtarchiv Sankt Augustin of 1.5.2006 in its current version. For documents that were not intended for publication from the outset, the general blocking periods of the Archive Act of North Rhine-Westphalia apply analogously according to the provisions of the Archive Contract. Accordingly, documents that were not intended for publication from the outset are blocked for general use 30 years after their creation. Insofar as primarily personal documents are concerned, the blocking period is 10 years after the death or 90 years after the birth of the person concerned. <br /><br />3.4 Method of citation and orders for archive records<br />The archive units are to be cited preceded by the archive with the corresponding signature, e.g. "Stadtarchiv Sankt Augustin, ME 1065". In order to order archive units, the user's name, order date and respective signature on the red order form are sufficient within the City Archives. <br /><br />3.5 Further literature and supplementary holdings<br />The building files on individual buildings can be found in the building files of the City Archive (until 1965) or in the registry of the building supervisory authority (from 1965). <br />Many documents from the period up to 1969 are still unrecorded in the old registry or provisionally recorded in the intermediate archive. <br />The budgets of the authorities, municipalities and associations can be found in the holdings "SGR".<br />Individual publications and expert opinions can be found in the holdings "SGD". (Publications) and BI (Bibliothek des Stadtarchivs).<br />Documents of schools of the Bürgermeisterei/des Amtes Menden can be found in the collection "SC". <br /><br />Sankt Augustin, February 2014<br />Michael Korn<br />
