Preliminary remark: The Württemberg State Ministry was established by a constitutional law of 1 July 1876 to advise all general state affairs. It included the ministers who in future held the official title of "Minister of State". A President appointed by the King from among the Ministers or Heads of Department, the Prime Minister, took over the management of the business and the supervision of the staff of the new authority. He also chaired both meetings of the Ministry of State when the King was absent. Permanent councils, initially members of the Privy Council, were attached to the Ministry of State to deal with business and participate in deliberations. In the Volksstaat Württemberg (1919-1933), the Prime Minister elected by the Landtag, who was given the official title "President of the State", chaired the government body formed by the ministers, the State Ministry. During the National Socialist era, the state government was limited to purely administrative tasks. The State Ministry's files, which grew up between 1876 and 1945, represent a unique documentation of the various areas of the central administration of the State of Württemberg as well as of its relationship to the German Reich and to the other German federal states. For the investigation of the history of Württemberg, but also of Germany as a whole from the foundation of the Bismarck Empire to the end of the Second World War, a very rich and valuable source material is available here, which fortunately could be saved almost unharmed during the last war. The files of the State Ministry were delivered to the Main State Archives Stuttgart in several stages: E 130 I, accesses 1931 and 1938, running time 1870-1935, extent 39 linear metres. mE 130 II, access 1946, running time 1813-1943, circumference 62 linear metres. mE 130 IV, access 1958, running time 1805-1945, circumference 55 linear metres. mE 130 VI, access 1964, running time 1945-1963, with isolated pre-files from the period 1885-1945. It was now the task of the Main State Archives to form one or, if this turned out to be impossible, several collections from these deliveries, which were interlocked many times, which were clearly structured and sufficiently indexed. For this purpose, however, an analysis of the registry conditions of the Ministry of State had to be carried out first. Liese concluded: "In the registry of the Ministry of State, three layers can be identified in the period from the establishment of the Ministry on 1 July 1876 to May 1945:a) a first registry layer, which is arranged according to the file plan valid until 1903,b) a second layer, which is the same as the one used from 1903 to 31 December 1933,c) a first registry layer, which is arranged according to the file plan valid until 1903,d) a second registry layer, which is the same as the first registry layer. (c) a third layer structured in accordance with the file plan which entered into force on 1 January 1928; layers (a) and (b) differ only slightly from one another; they have already been worked into one another in the registry of the Ministry of State. On the other hand, layer c) differs so strongly from the two earlier layers in that the main, middle and subgroups are arranged in a different order as a result of enlargement and, at the same time, as a result of the omission of some groups of files, that it is not possible to move to a new layer comprising all three layers. In this case, the already inevitable concordance would be too confusing for all users, and the other means of indexing, such as business diaries and file plans, would also lose considerable value. The archival reorganization and recording of the files of the Ministry of State begun in 1971 was therefore, in view of the file situation and the conditions of the registry, the following by Mr. Staatsarchivdirektor Dr. Ottnad: a) the new indexing combines the existing inventory groups E 130 I, E 130 II, E 130 IV and E 130 VI (as far as files before 8 May 1945 are concerned) into two inventories: The first inventory, E 130a, is formed from the levies formed according to the file plans 1876-1903 and 1903-1927, i.e. from the previous inventory E 130 I. The second stock unites the duties which are structured according to the file plan valid from 1 January 1928, i.e. the stocks E 130 II, E 130 IY and partly E 130 VI. The personal files contained in the two new stocks to be formed are combined in a third stock, E 130c.b) With the formation of the holdings E 130a, E 130b and E 130c, the delimitation of the holdings of the E series (files created up to 1945) and the EA series (files grown since 1945), marked by the year 1945 (May 8), takes place at the same time for the State Ministry.c) Files of the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which were incorporated into the registry of the Ministry of State after the abolition of this Ministry in 1920 and after the assumption of still remaining tasks by the Ministry of State, shall be removed from the registry of the Ministry of State at the time of the new listing, provided that this separation of provenance is necessary due to the file situation without special expenditure of work.For the new listing of the files of the state ministry Mr. government director a. D. Karl Elwert could be won, who brought from his many years of activity in the state ministry Baden-Württemberg almost ideal conditions for this task. From November 1971 to Autumn 1973, Mr. Elwert carried out the formation and drawing of the inventory E 130 a in close cooperation with the head of the Department of Ministerial Archives (until February 1973 Dr. Ottnad, then Dr. Sauer). If the organizing work can be continued to the same extent as before, it will be followed in the foreseeable future by the finding aid book of the even more extensive E 130 b collection. The register was produced by archive employee Klaus Breitenbücher.Stuttgart, 21 April 1978Paul Sauer

History of the authorities: The institution of the state commissioners was created in Baden in 1863 as part of the extensive reorganization of the administration. The four Commissioners, based in Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Freiburg and Constance, were responsible for supervising the administrative and district authorities and their civil servants. The commissioners were assigned to the Baden Ministry of the Interior and over time were given a number of independent powers where they decided instead of the Ministry of the Interior. These competencies included the supervision of the police administration of the offices and municipalities, the handling of complaints against police penal orders, the ordering of police measures in the event of serious disturbances to public order, as well as questions of war performance and war damage procedures and the controlled economy during the First World War. After the war, they acted as demobilisation and district housing commissioners. In addition, the 1921 municipal regulations entrusted them with state supervision of the cities. Although in some areas the state commissioners acted as a middle instance, they were formally not a middle authority between the Ministry of the Interior and the district offices. During the National Socialist era, the institution of the state commissioners was allowed to exist despite all efforts to unify the administration in the Reich and was not replaced by government presidents. Between 1933 and 1945, however, the state commissioners were treated by the Reich as a middle instance and given corresponding tasks. After the Second World War, the state commissariats were allowed to expire due to the vacancies not being filled. The Constance State Commissioner retired in 1946 and his office was closed. Inventory history: In 1962, the files of the present inventory were transferred from the Constance District Office to the Freiburg branch of the Karlsruhe General State Archives. The inventory was recorded 1962/63 by Paul Waldherr; after a revision a finding aid book was available from 1980. In order to make this finding aid accessible for use on the Internet, it was digitized in 2005 and 2006 by Franziska Mahler and Britta Schwenkreis. For better orientation (especially in the case of local files), the respective headings to which the individual files were assigned within the headings order at that time are shown in brackets.

Find aids: delivery list (internal) registry formers: The Landes-Heil- und Pflege-Anstalt Bernburg was opened on 1 October 1875 after a construction period of two years. First director was Dr. Moritz Fränkel. One year later she was placed under the command of the Landarmendirektion. Initially, the institution was able to admit 132 patients. The number of patients increased in the following decades and reached a peak of 424 in 1914. 19 male and female nurses were employed to look after the sick, their positions being occupied by deaconesses from Neuendettelsau and from 1885 from the Oberlinhaus in Nowawes near Potsdam. In 1882, an agricultural "colony" was attached to the institution for the purpose of occupational therapy. During the National Socialist era, part of the institution was separated and used as a "euthanasia" institution. More than 14000 people died in their gas chambers in the years 1940-1943 within the framework of the "Aktion T4" and the "Sonderbehandlung 14 f 13". In 1942 the hospital was renamed several times under the auspices of the state - "Anhaltische Nervenklinik", "Nervenklinik Bernburg", "Bezirkskrankenhaus für Psychiatrie und Neurologie" and "Landeskrankenhaus Bernburg" - before the "Salus gGmbH" took over the hospital in 2000. Inventory information: Irrespective of the changes in naming and social conditions, the collection reflects the period from the establishment of the Landes-Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Bernburg in 1875 to the 1970s of the 20th century. In terms of content, the Bernburger Anstalt has almost exclusively handed down patient-related medical records, some of which were also available after 1945 separately for diseases. No files from the hospital administration have been transferred to the state archives. The so-called euthanasia patient files are kept in the Federal Archives in the inventory of the Führer's Chancellery, Hauptamt IIb - R 179. The files were taken over in the years 1999, 2000 and 2010-2015. Of the offered medical files, the years up to 1949 were taken over completely and only a small selection of the other patient-related files were taken over into the archive. For almost all of the transferred files, directories had been created by the hospital on which, arranged according to diseases and the respective year of departure of the patient, the personal data of the patient are contained.

History of the authorities: By decree of the Reich government of 21 March 1933, a special court was formed for each district of the Higher Regional Court. The special court responsible for the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court district was installed at the Mannheim Regional Court. These special courts were given criminal jurisdiction for offences under the "Ordinance of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State", which had been issued in reaction to the Reichstag fire of 27 February 1933 and which formed the legal background to the wave of arrests, particularly against Communists. In addition, the special courts were responsible for the offences according to the so-called "Heimtückeverordnung", which was cast into legal form in December 1934 under aggravation of the threat of punishment. Originally limited to purely "political" offences, special jurisdiction was extended in 1938 to include areas of "normal" crime. With a decree issued at the beginning of the war in 1939, any offence could be brought before a special court if "public order and security were particularly seriously endangered by the offence". New penal regulations also followed with the beginning of the war. The most important are briefly mentioned here:1. the "Kriegssonderstrafrechtsverordnung" of 17 August 1938 concerned the offences "Wehrkraftzetzung", "Wehrdiensttziehung" and "Selbstverstümmelung", which - depending on the severity of the offence - were placed under death penalty.2The "Ordinance on Extraordinary Broadcasting Measures" of 1 September 1939 punished the listening of foreign broadcasters with imprisonment, in severe cases with the death penalty.3 The "War Economics Ordinance" of 4 September 1939 punished black slaughter, food card fraud and similar offences.4The "Verordnung gegen Volksschädlinge" of 5 September tightened the penal provisions for property offences if the offence was committed "by exploiting the state of war" or "the healthy feeling of the people" "required" this.5 The "Verordnung zum Schutz gegen jugendliche Schwerverbrecher" of 4 October 1939 also made it possible to pronounce the death penalty against criminals who were only 16 years old.6The "Ordinance against Violent Criminals" issued on 5 December 1939 made it possible to impose death sentences for any type of capital crime.All these ordinances led to a tremendous increase in the workload in the Special Courts.Further Special Courts were therefore established, including the Special Court Freiburg im Breisgau from 1 November 1940, which was responsible for the Regional Court districts of Freiburg, Constance, Offenburg and Waldshut. The specially established public prosecutor's office at the Freiburg Special Court initiated more than 1,000 proceedings in the four and a half years up to April 1945. Of these, the records of 727 cases have been preserved. Most of the proceedings, about 30 of which were opened on the basis of the "Heimtückegesetz", were followed by "Kriegswirtschaftsverbrechen" with 23 The proceedings on the basis of the "Volksschädlingsverordnung" comprised 12 the so-called "Rundfunkverbrechen" 14

Preliminary remark: Very probably at the suggestion of Heeresarchivrat Knoch, who worked from June 1936 to autumn 1943 at the Reichsarchiv branch or at the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart, the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart collected excerpts from newspapers and military journals during these years. The collection, which also contains pieces from earlier years and which has also occasionally included other printed matter and copies of official letters from the Army Archives, primarily comprises documents on general military matters, on war history and on individual military personnel, especially those of the 19th and 20th centuries. As the archival term "Auskunftei" (information agency) (cf. e.g. no. 196) suggests, the Wahl collection was created with the intention of creating a quick and easy means of information for the employees of the army archives. It does not contain any significant individual pieces, nor does it carry much weight overall. If it was nevertheless rearranged and listed, it is because it can still serve its original purpose today and because it is also revealing to the spirit which prevailed at least among some of the staff of the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart during the National Socialist era. These were marked with the respective keyword and partly with detailed information about the excerpts contained in them. The envelopes were arranged in the alphabetical order of the keywords, but the entire collection was unlisted. In the present order and indexing, the previous order was essentially retained; however, where necessary, the keywords were specified or - in individual cases - changed. The purpose of these notes and cross-references is to facilitate the use of the holdings; life data are only given for persons if they could be determined with a justifiable amount of work. The holdings (389 numbers; 0.70 m) were indexed in March and April 1975 by the archivist.

The present collection comprises 223 units of indexation with a term of 1933-1945 and was transferred to the former Lippische Landesarchiv in Detmold soon after the Second World War, in November 1945. With the Second Law on the Gleichschaltung of the Länder with the Reich of 7 April 1933, the office of Reich Governor was created in the Länder. In the brief phase of the seizure of power, the Reich governors were subject to the control of the National Socialist-dominated state governments appointed by them, which had quasi-dictatorial powers, and only Hitler. They were his underlords in the countries. Already with the law on the reconstruction of the Reich of 30 January 1934, the Reichsstatthalteramt lost its importance. The power and legal relationships were shifted in favour of the central authorities in Berlin and against the state governments and the imperial governors. With the Reichsstatthaltergesetz of 30 January 1935, the Reichsstatthalter only became instances of the Reichsregierung in the sense of a Reichsmittelbehörde; in addition, their position became increasingly representative. On 16 May 1933, the President of the Reich, Paul von Hindenburg, appointed Dr. Alfred Meyer, head of the Gaue Westfalen-Nord, based in Münster, as governor of the two smallest Reich states, Lippe and Schaumburg-Lippe, at Hitler's suggestion. One week later, on 23 May, in his capacity as Reich Governor, he placed a man of his special trust, Hans-Joachim Riecke, a qualified farmer and Gauinspekteur (Gauinspector), with the antiquated title of Minister of State at the head of the Lippe state government. This one was reporting directly to Meyer. Riecke's honorary deputy as head of the state government was the Detmold NSDAP district leader, the Lagens painter Adolf Wedderwille. Since the power positions and powers of the Reich Governors in the administration increasingly eroded in the years after 1933, without the office being abolished despite its apparent loss of significance, Meyer - like others of his colleagues - strove to unite administrative and government positions in his hands. After Riecke's departure to the Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture on February 1, 1936, he was appointed head of the Lippe State Government by executive decree. On 17 November 1938, he became Chief President of the Province of Westphalia in Münster. In addition, in November 1941 he was appointed Deputy Minister in the newly created Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories under Alfred Rosenberg, and from 29 May 1940 he was entrusted by Hitler with the management of the affairs of a Reich Defence Commissioner. Meyer only occasionally visited Detmold in his capacity as Reich Governor for both Lippe. Münster remained his official seat. Meyer's local husband and inspector of the Detmold government work, based in the small Reich governor's office with only 3-4 employees, which was moved to Berlebeck on the Friedrichshöhe in 1937, was Karl Wolf, a member of the government from 1933 to 1943. Even in his role as head of the Lippische Landesregierung, Meyer rarely came to his new office. With Wedderwille, who after Riecke's transfer became full-time deputy head of the Lippe government and resided in Riecke's former office, he had a reliable governor in the Lipperland in party and state administration. Meyer's main fields of activity and positions of power were in Münster and Berlin and not in the small residential town on the Teutoburg Forest. Thus his faithful paladin Adolf Wedderwille gradually became the most powerful man in all of Lippe, especially during the war with his double role. Since February 1936 the Lippe laws and ordinances were passed under the name: The Reichsstatthalter in Lippe and Schaumburg-Lippe (state government of Lippe) and were signed either by the Reichstatthalter Dr. Meyer himself or in representation Wedderwille. Until April 1945 Lippe was ruled in this form. From the above it becomes clear that there could be, and indeed had to be, certain intermixtures and overlaps in the registry of the Reich Governor's Office. Some written or file documents would have been better kept in the registry of the Minister of State or the NSDAP district leader in terms of content and form. Also some petitioners were certainly not clear whether they should write to Meyer in his capacity as Gauleiter, Reichsstatthalter or head of the state government. Thus the pre-archival order was largely maintained and, above all, the signatory did not clean up the holdings (e.g. in the case of Section 5, Minister of State). For research on the Lippe NS period, the holdings L 80.03 (Minister of State) and L 113 (NSDAP and NS organisations in Lippe) as well as the L 80 holdings in general should therefore also and above all be consulted.

Curriculum vitae Karl Fritz: Karl Fritz, born on 29 November 1914 in Pfullendorf as the son of a plasterer and a part-time farmer, was made possible by a scholarship to attend the grammar school in Constance. Immediately after graduating from high school, he completed his work service, which was followed by military service with the infantry regiment 114 in Konstanz and with the military district command in Ehingen an der Donau. From November 1, 1938, the day he joined the NSDAP, until October 31, 1941, he was an administrative candidate for the "upper middle administrative service" (including Überlingen, Konstanz, and Stockach), and from November 1, 1942 he was employed as a government inspector in various positions (including Karlsruhe and Sinsheim). From the summer of 1943 until the end of the war, he had joined the Wehrmacht and served in southern France. Based in Freiburg since October 1945, Karl Fritz resumed his administrative duties at the Ministry of the Interior. In 1952 he was transferred to the Transport Department of the South Baden Regional Council, where he retired in 1977 as a senior civil servant. Karl Fritz died on 29 November 1990 in Freiburg. Inventory history: According to family tradition, Karl Fritz, possibly inspired by the example of an uncle, began to "collect" contemporary historical material at an early age. He was employed by the authorities in which he was employed, and the main focus was on posters and brochures with duplicates. Its content is enhanced by the collection of banknotes, especially emergency money, which has been collected from all over the German Reich. The "Karl Fritz" collection, which had grown to a height of 40 m, was donated to the Freiburg State Archives in 1993. An initial inspection revealed that not all the documents were worthy of archiving. In addition, the collection contained material that was difficult to include in the documentation profile of the State Archives. Extensive order work followed. First, the newspaper collection and the literature on contemporary history were transferred to the service library of the State Archives and - in the case of documents on military history - to the Federal Archives and Military Archives; then the posters were separated and the W 113 collection of Karl Fritz posters was formed. A number of posters of East Prussian origin were handed over to the Geheime Staatsarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz, some pieces of Berlin origin to the Landesarchiv Berlin. The same happened with the picture material, from which the stock W 145/2 - picture collection Karl Fritz was created. The documents remaining in the remaining stock W 307 were subjected to a further examination in October 1998 and were roughly sorted after the non-archival documents (law and official gazettes, newspaper cuttings, duplicates of printed material and banknotes as well as newspaper series, which are available in the Freiburg UB) had been sorted out. Around 11 metres of shelving were fed into the cassation and the remaining nine metres were listed in order to obtain an initial overview of the available material and to allow provisional access. The collection consists of various contemporary materials on German history since the foundation of the German Reich in 1871 with a clear focus on the period of National Socialism as well as on the post-war period. 2004-2005, as part of an ABM measure, this provisional indexing of the W 307 - Karl Fritz Collection was replaced by a more in-depth indexing. The intention was to generally improve the accessibility of this collection.
