695 Akten

History of transmission<br /><br />Delivered to the Ministry of Culture in 1942.<br /><br />Contents and evaluation<br /><br />Correspondence, mainly with professors from universities in Baden, arranged alphabetically, A-D and Hi-KI not available.<br /><br />1. Foreword: Böhm was born in Mannheim in 1861 as the son of the merchant Josef Anton Böhm and attended grammar school there until his Abitur. After studying law in Heidelberg and Berlin, which he completed with a doctorate in 1885, he worked as a district court judge, public prosecutor and magistrate in the following years. As early as 1889, he spent a year as a secretary in the Baden Ministry of Justice. However, it was not until 1897 that he was permanently employed by this very institution. Böhm was primarily responsible for matters relating to culture and education. He was promoted to Ministerialrat for this area in 1899 and finally to Ministerialdirektor in 1910. When the Ministry of Culture was separated from the Ministry of Justice as part of a reorganization of the ministries in 1911, Grand Duke Friedrich II finally appointed Böhm as Baden's first Minister of Culture. He was responsible for the expansion and promotion of Baden's universities. On the other hand, he took steps to bring about an end to the conflict with the Catholic Church. For example, Böhm was in favor of the admission of male religious orders. His plans came to an abrupt end with his sudden death on June 30, 1915. On that day, Böhm succumbed to the consequences of cardiac paralysis in Karlsruhe.<br /><br />2. The order: Böhm's estate consists exclusively of correspondence. These are arranged in alphabetical order. The letters A-D and Hi-Kl have not survived in the collection. In addition to university professors, Böhm's correspondence partners include artists, teachers, clergymen and politicians. The majority of the records date from Böhm's appointment as Ministerialrat in 1899. In most cases, the correspondence contains only a few letters dealing with the possible appointment of a scholar to a university in Baden. However, some of the correspondence is much more extensive. For example, the correspondence with the art historian Adolf von Oechselhäuser (no. 336) contains 77 letters, while the correspondence with the historian Jakob Wille (no. 669) comprises 93 letters. There are even 104 letters from the physician Ludolf von Krehl (No. 199). The collection was transferred from the Ministry of Culture to the General State Archives in 1942. It comprises 695 fascicles. The author and date of cataloging are not known. The in-depth indexing and transfer of the analog finding aid into an online finding aid was carried out in 2017 by Frank Bauer as part of a project funded by the Stiftung Kulturgut Baden-Württemberg. Bauer also added place and person indexes to the collection.<br /><br />3. Usage information: The collection is completely digitized.
