Formation history: The task of this stage was to supply the army by supplying it with armed forces and other army needs. The resources and supplies of the theatre of war could also be used. To each army belonged a stage inspection; to independent corps and/or army departments a stage command. The stage area was again subdivided into stage command posts, whose remit corresponded to that of a stage inspection. The documents of the following stage commandantures have been handed down in the inventory:Mobile Stage Command Office 43 [Colmar] including the District Directorate Colmar;Mobile Stage Command Office 64 [Laon];Mobile Stage Command Office 84 [Sissonne];Mobile Stage Command Office 104 [Schlettstadt];Mobile Stage Command Office 124 [Villerupt];Mobile Stage Command Office 140 [Busigny];Mobile Stage Command Office 167 [Vervins];Mobile stage command post 172 [Mulhouse in Alsace];Mobile stage command post 173 [Schirmeck];Mobile stage command post 184 [Flobecq];Mobile stage command post 185 [Müllheim];Mobile stage command post 279 [Virton];Mobile stage command post 297 [Arlon];Mobile stage command post 363 [Maniewicze].In addition to the documents of the mobile stage commandant's offices responsible for the stage area, the files of the district director Colmar on the implementation of the surveillance of the civilian population and the recording of the hostages abducted by the French are of particular interest. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files of the mobile stage commandant's offices remained with the Leib-Grenadier Regiment 109. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps was begun, in which the archives of the stage commandant's 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 Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archives Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 460 fascicles with a circumference of 8.80 linear metres are included.

Foreword: Responsible for the entire area of military justice was the "Oberauditor" for Württemberg according to the Military Judicial Code of 1692. In order to take into account the circumstances, which had completely changed in terms of their magnitude alone, King Friedrich appointed in 1807 the General Auditoriat for "civil cases" of the military, with the involvement of a war council with the designation "Oberkriegsgericht". As a result, the military court ap-pellation authority and at the same time the supreme authority for military justice care in Württemberg were created. These functions were transferred on 30 March 1874 to a special department in the War Ministry, the "Justice Department". She was responsible for advising and taking a stand on all legal issues specific to the military. At the same time, it fulfilled the function of the Higher War Court for the Württemberg Army Corps, was the supreme military justice authority in criminal cases, and the supreme supervisory authority for the auditors. It consisted of 4 alternating higher officers, including 1 general as chairman, the general auditor and 2 councillors of the judicial department of the Kriegsministe-rium. 1900, however, in the course of the implementation of the German Military Criminal Court Ordinance of 1898, Württemberg lost its remaining independence in the field of military court organization. De facto, it had already become necessary before, through a whole series of voting procedures with the Reich Military Administration, as well as with Bavaria and Saxony, to achieve adjustments, which were later incorporated into the new Military Criminal Court Code (2). As a result of the reorganization from 1900 onwards, the Justice Department of the (Royal Württemberg) War Ministry was dissolved as a Higher War Court or Court of Appeal. It was also decreed within the framework of the reorganization that all military court investigation files were to be handed over to the (newly appointed) High War Court of the XIIIth (Royal Württemberg) Army Corps, which was assigned to the General Command (3). From 1900 onwards, military jurisdiction was exercised exclusively by the court rulers and the recognizing courts (courts of state, war courts, upper war court and - in the appeal instance - Reich Military Court (4)). The supervision of the exercise of this military jurisdiction remained (apart from the Reich Military Court) with the Ministry of War as the supreme military justice administrative authority. According to the Ministry's organizational plan, between 1900 and 1906 this function was entrusted to "Section J" within the "Department for General Army Affairs". Section J" also had to continue to provide legal advice. In 1906, these divisions were integrated into the newly created Supply and Justice Department ( C ). From 1906 to March 1915 the Department ( C ) was thus responsible for pension, pension and support matters and for the judiciary. The expansion of the business volume caused by the war in turn resulted in the outsourcing of the judiciary. Department C remained the utility department. The tasks of the new "Department J" (legal advisor) consisted mainly in personnel administration, supervision and maintenance of the operation of the various military tribunals, pardons, extradition matters, penal system, construction and operation of military prisons, legal opinions including consideration of foreign rights, occupation law and non-military areas of law. This division also remained within the framework of the liquidation of the Ministry of War, whereby Department J was renamed Legal Department ( R ) in November 1918. Like all the settlement authorities of the Württemberg Ministry of War, it was dissolved at the end of 1920. The records of the military justice sector, which were so severely affected by reorganization, were only incomplete and in an unexpectedly badly organized state and had to be rearranged as they had been for the military tribunals (inventory M 631). The existing file numbers of the file plan were no longer a suitable basis because of the different changes over long distances, so that a complete reorganization was inevitable. The inventory was recorded in the years 2001 and 2002 by the archive employee Gerd Mantel under guidance of the signatory, who also provided the editorial revision and reorganization. The Repertorium M 1/7 contains 808 title records and 28 shelf meters of files.

1. the history of the department of personal affairs: Württemberg's accession to the German Reich in 1871 brought considerable organizational changes in the Württemberg region. I've been in the War Department with him. It was initially divided into three departments: Centralbureau (C), Military Department (MA) and Economic Department (Oe). In the provisional organizational draft of August 16, 1871, the Centralbureau was entrusted with the processing of the personnel matters of the officers, the awarding of orders, the cases of honorary court for officers, and the personnel news in the Military Gazette. According to § 4 of the War Ministry's Registry Ordinance, the Ministry's registry should be regarded as a single unit, "but it must be formed so that each department has its own files and a registrar officer is available for the purpose of keeping the journal, collecting the files, completing the files, etc.". In January 1896, the Centralbureau began running its own diary for personnel matters and the awarding of orders. On April 24, 1896, the War Minister transferred the handling of all personnel matters of the officers and the awarding of orders to the Military Department, which also took over the journal and the pre-files of the Central Bureau. Section III was established in the Military Department for this area of activity, and when the War Ministry was reorganised on 1 August 1906, the Military Department was given the name "Department for General Army and Personal Affairs" (A). The division into three sections remained unchanged, as did the journal management (a common diarium for sections 1 and 2, a second one for section 3). According to the organisation chart printed in January 1907, Section 3 had to deal with the following matters:Personal data of officers and medical officersOfficers of the Land Hunter CorpsOfficers of OfficersMarriagesDiseasesQualification and Personnel ReportsAppointment of approved officers in civilian serviceComplementation of the Officers' Service and medical officer corpsCadet corpsFahnenjunker und FähnricheKriegsschulen und KriegsakademienBalance of the military medical personnel for the case of mobilization between Württemberg and PrussiaAller höchste HandschreibenEhrengerichtliche Angelegenheiten der Offiziere und SanitätsoffiziereVerleihung von königlich Württembergischen Orden und MedaillenVerleihung Nichtwürttembergischer Orden etc. to Württemberg military personnelReturn and replacement of orders and decorationsKaiser Wilhelm-ErinnerungsmedailleRettungsmedailleGehaltseinweisungen der Offiziere (Etatskapitel 19-24, 41)Generalmajor Wocher'sche Stiftung Militärverordnungsblatt (Personal-Nachrichten).the beginning of the First World War did not change anything in this scope of business, but the work increased enormously. Section A 3 consisted of two officers and three civil servants on 2.8.1914. In the course of the war, the number of personnel had to be increased considerably. In late autumn 1914, the Section was divided into four groups called 3 a-d, which essentially performed their previous tasks unchanged. New was, for example, the preparation of memorial sheets for fallen officers (until November 1917) and the editing of the publication of the bestowals of Iron Crosses. Detailed information on the work can be found in the quarterly memorandums of the Section or Department for the Minister of War (Bü 274). By order of the War Minister of 30 June 1917, Section A 3 was separated from Section A and institutionalized as an independent "Department for Personal Affairs" (P). The previous head of the section, Major Schumacher, took over the management of the business. In all other respects, the division and operation of the department remained completely the same as in the previous section. The old groups A 3 a-d were given the designation P 1-4 and the files of the department were not changed either. Thus, it must be explained that this file contains documents and volumes bearing the signatures C, Z, MA, A (AP) and P. The applicant is therefore required to state that the documents and volumes in question bear the signatures C, Z, MA, A (AP) and P. They reflect the wandering competence. Similar to the transfer of files from other departments, the corresponding files were also transferred when a competence was transferred. In 1917, for example, the processing of provisional dismissals, deferrals, etc. was transferred to the Department of Weapons and Field Equipment. The relevant files of Group A 3b and P 2 were then handed over to the WK Department, which had begun to maintain a separate diary in 1917. It was continued unchanged by the group renamed P 1. This group worked exclusively on the awarding, procurement, return and replacement of orders and decorations. The diaries of department P include the main series from 1896, still started by the Centralbureau, and the special series for order affairs from 1917, as well as a demobilization diary from 1914. After the end of the war, a new division of business in the War Ministry came into force in May 1919. Department P has since been called Department General Command (GK) - Personnel Office. With the adoption of the Weimar Constitution, the entire army administration was transferred to the Reich. On 28 August 1919, the War Ministry was renamed the Reichswehr Command Post in Württemberg. This authority ceased its activities on 30 September 1919. It was replaced on 1 October 1919 by the Army Processing Office of Württemberg. The work still to be done in the area of the old Department P was continued in the personnel department of the Processing Office until 31 March 1921. Officially, all unfinished business was settled at that time. 2. on the history of the collection and its order: the own files of the Abwicklungsamt were transferred to the Reichsarchiv branch office in Stuttgart together with the files of the ministry taken over. There, a separate "Heeresabwicklungsamt" (Army Processing Office) was formed, essentially for the files that had grown up exclusively with this authority. The ministerial files were sorted out and structured according to departments - if possible in the order of the old file numbers. In a few cases, documents of the settlement office were filed in ministerial records. The Reichsarchiv branch took over some of the lists, such as those of medals bestowed by the War Ministry, as hand files or to supplement them. This activity ceased before the Second World War. However, these lists were not initially incorporated into the holdings of the old Ministerial Department P. At the beginning of the administrative work in the autumn of 1970, summarily recorded and completely undeveloped files and volumes of the personnel department were found at various storage locations in the Gutenbergstraße building. A summary list named Friedensstammlisten, which had already been collected in 1940. The same fate was experienced in 1949 by the mass of the so-called war files of the sections A 3 and P 2-4 since 1915, as well as by documents on staffing and applications for restitution. Of the original 96 bunches (about 25 linear metres) of this stock, 22 (about 5.5 linear metres) still existed. In addition, there were 30 listed bundles with files on the bestowal of orders, a number of leading binders and other loosely mixed files of the personnel department, some of them from the hand registries of former Army Archives specialists. There were essentially four registry layers:1. files that were created before the First World War. They bear file numbers (1.3.1.1. Vol. I), which are arranged according to chapter, title, section, number and any number of volumes. Files originally created in the Centralbureau also bear such signatures. The position Lit(tera) provided on the pre-printed file covers between the data section and number was not occupied.2. Files created in the First World War before 1917. They usually carry mnemonic file numbers (RKM = Red Cross Medal, KrA = War Files).3. Files which were newly created at P after 1917. They do not have file numbers.4. files, especially lists, without any file number.4 Since these layers overlap in time, a factual structure was preferred. The affairs of the Order were preceded. A few volumes were sorted out which had not been given access by P and which had been mistakenly included in the records of the personnel department during the brief division of the war ministry files. Only isolated insignificant loose documents and empty forms were collected. Some volumes of files, which actually belong to this collection, were not erroneously removed from the inventory of the administrative department (B). Reference is therefore made to this stock. The records of the order are also found in the documents of other ministerial departments according to their provenance. Following the actual title records, old signatures (AS) - if available - are indicated in each case. Then follows a list of the places at which the individual fascicles were led: C bzw. Z, MA, MA(P), AP, P, HAA (Heeresabwicklungsamt), Reichsarchiv branch office The indexing was carried out by Buchsteiner in autumn 1970. He also worked out a first attempt at order. The revision of the title recordings and the final order was carried out in the spring of 1971 by State Archives Councillor Dr. G. Taddey. The stock was packed by the Westenfelder archive employee. It comprises 355 fascicles in 12.60 m, as well as 75 diary volumes in 3.75 m Stuttgart in March 1971(Taddey).
