Scope and content

Description: The Prussian military members were grouped together in military congregations, the pastoral care was carried out by a military clergy independent of the respective civil church. The military church order of 1832 established a Protestant field provost, to whom the military priests were subordinate in the army corps. The division, garrison and institution priests were in turn subordinate to them. Until 1839 the Prussian military community was looked after interdenominationally by Protestant military chaplains. Then by cabinet order the employment of Catholic military clergymen was ordered and in 1849 finally an army bishop was entrusted with the management of the Catholic military church system. 1868 followed the establishment of the office of a Catholic field provost. Characterisation of content: In addition to the written records of the Catholic military pastoral care, the present collection contains several copies of files in the Rottenburg Episcopal Ordinariat on the appointment and deployment of field chaplains as well as a volume of copies from the archives of the Protestant Church in Germany on Protestant military pastoral care of German and foreign prisoners of war. State of development: Findbuch Vorarchivische Ordnung: Almost exclusively the records of the Catholic military pastoral care are handed down, which were taken over in 1974 on the occasion of the handover of the former Catholic Garrison Church Berlin to the Greek Orthodox community from the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage in Berlin and handed over to the Federal Archives in 1978.
