Find aids: Find book (online searchable), find book introduction (online viewable), registry formers: After the decree of 30 April 1815 on the basis of improved establishment of the provincial authorities, the province of Saxony was formed with the administrative districts of Magdeburg, Merseburg and Erfurt, whose chief president began his activities in Magdeburg on 1 April 1816. As a controlling authority and deputy of the Prussian state authorities, he originally had a political position that was primarily observational and more representative. Like the governments, he was subordinate to the state ministries, but at the same time he was in charge of the governments and other intermediate authorities, and as the royal commissioner for the provincial parliament he was in charge of the representation of the estates. As a result of the administrative reforms from 1872 to 1883, his area of responsibility was extended to the entire internal provincial administration of the province, he was given state supervision via the Provincial Association, and in 1883 he was relieved of the office of President of the Magdeburg District. After the First World War and during National Socialism, the sovereign and police functions of the chief president in particular increased considerably; the authority developed into the middle instance of the Prussian state government (from 1932) and finally of the Reich government (from 1935). The self-administration of the province was effectively abolished as early as 1933 and its tasks and responsibilities were transferred to the Chief President. However, the connection between the Office of the High President and that of the NSDAP district leader, which was practised in the other provinces, did not take place. From 1933, the authority was divided into several departments, in particular: General Department, Provincial Council, Department of Secondary Education (Provincial Collegium), National Cultural Department (General Commission/ National Cultural Office), Waterway Directorate (Elbe River Construction Administration), Medical Court Committee and Inspector of the Ordnungspolizei. In spring 1944, the province of Saxony was dissolved; it was replaced by the provinces of Magdeburg and Halle-Merseburg with the Gauleiter of the NSDAP as chief presidents, and the Reich Governor in Thuringia became responsible for the administrative district of Erfurt. In the spring of 1944 the province was dissolved; it was replaced by the provinces of Magdeburg and Halle-Merseburg with the district leaders of the NSDAP as chief presidents, for the administrative district of Erfurt the Reich Governor in Thuringia became responsible. In August 1945, the Magdeburg upper presidium was transferred to the new provincial government as "Der Präsident der Provinz Sachsen, Abwicklungsstelle Magdeburg" (The President of the Province of Saxony, Magdeburg Settlement Office); the settlement office existed until June 1946. Inventory information: The collection was transferred to the Magdeburg State Archives in several deliveries between the end of the 19th century and 1950. It was divided into various registry layers, which were structured around 1968 to the subsets C 20 I Chief President, General Division to C 20 XiX Chief President, Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Security Police.

Demolition of the organisation of justice in the "Third Reich" until 1935: By a decree of the Ministry of Justice of 20 April 1933 on the competence of the ministries, a new Ministry of Culture, Education and Justice was formed from the previously independent Ministries of Culture and Education and the Ministry of Justice. The Justice Department resided in the old premises of the Ministry at Herrenstraße 1 in Karlsruhe. Reichskommissar Otto Wacker became head of the new ministry. With the "Law on the Reconstruction of the Reich" of 30 January 1934, the sovereign rights of the Länder were transferred to the Reich. Thus also the entire administration of justice became a matter for the Reich. Initially, however, the administration of justice continued to be administered by the Länder on behalf of the Reich (1st Ordinance of the Reich Minister of the Interior on the Reconstruction of the Reich of 2 February 1934). The Reich Law of 5 December 1934 created a department Württemberg-Baden with a branch in Karlsruhe at the Reich Ministry of Justice, which from 1 January to 31 March 1935 temporarily continued the business of the Baden Ministry of Justice. On April 1, 1935, the administration of justice was finally taken over by the Reich in all German states. Any remaining business of the former Baden Ministry of Justice that was not affected by the release was transferred to the President of the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court and the General Prosecutor's Office. A separate administrative department was set up at the Higher Regional Court for this purpose. With the German occupation of Alsace in 1940, the jurisdiction of the Prosecutor General also partly extended to Alsace. Inventory history: In 1987, the present inventory reached the General State Archives in a disordered manner and without a list of consignments. The registry office of the Attorney General was located in the old premises of the former Baden Ministry of Justice at Herrenstraße 1 in Karlsruhe. As can be seen from handwritten notes on two file books (order numbers 281 and 1563), a considerable part of the files stored in the registry was probably burnt by the effects of war on 27 September 1944. After the annexation of Alsace in 1940, the registry was divided into two partial registries with their own business marks (Z4 for Baden and Z5 for Alsace). The files were arranged according to the general file plan of the judiciary and were left in this order at the time of recording. Some of the files were continued beyond the end of the war in 1945, and the order and registration work was carried out by archive inspector Bernd Breitkopf from March 1989 to June 1990. Mrs. L. Hessler took care of the title recordings and corrections. References to related holdings in the General State Archives: Individual further files of the Attorney General from the time of the "Third Reich" can be found in holdings 309, 309-2 and 309 access 1996-66. Together with the files of the present holdings, documents of the administration department of the Higher Regional Court Karlsruhe were also handed over to the General State Archives (240 access 1987-53). The files of the presidential department of the Higher Regional Court were completely destroyed by the effects of war in 1944.

General information The files combined in this finding aid book originate from different registry layers as well as from different registries. In the main, they comprise from the old central office of the government (i.e. the Presidential Division CB I) the former subjects 35 (Public Peace and Mood), 35a (Social Democracy and Anarchism), 36 (Forbidden Links, Supervision of Individual Suspicious Individuals) as well as 47 (so-called Registrar's Office MOB). This latter registry grew into a comprehensive processing area for the mobilization, the war of 1914/18, the economic and military demobilization, as well as the entire occupation-related opportunities. The confusion led to a radical reorganization of the CB II (or CB III) registry around 1922, with a new division of the subject and a focus on occupation issues and political affairs. The special circumstances of the occupation period necessitated a branch of the district government in Krefeld. In 1920/21, the latter had its own registry, as did the district president Grützner during his expulsions in Barmen (February 1923 to April 1924) and Bielefeld (April-September 1924). The files of the so-called Essen Reporting Office are integrated into the inventory. This is one of the Provincial Public Order Supervision Services established at the instigation of the State Commissioner for Public Order, Robert Weismann, in August 1919. On 15 November 1920 a special registration office for the administrative district of Düsseldorf was set up, and Jürgens, the councillor of the district court, was appointed head of this office on 30 November 1920. On 10 March 1921 the registration office was moved from Düsseldorf to Essen, on 29 July 1927 it was moved back to Düsseldorf and integrated into the CB II department, where it existed until the end of 1922. The Reporting Office collected news about the political and economic movements in its area from the police and administrative authorities and from the press, stimulated the intervention of the executive branch on the basis of the news it received and reported continuously by the President of the Government to the Chief President in Münster, in important cases immediately to the State Commissioner. The documents and newspaper clippings were originally stapled together in notebooks marked M ff. At the end of 1922 Faszikel was created and newly signed (A lff., B lff. etc.). That reorganisation was carried out up to the letter M, with the exception of the files relating to the crew, which were not stapled. Of the following letters, only a few particularly important files have been stapled. The records of the Essen Reporting Office and also of the CB II registry from 1922 ff. are partly very inconsistent, they tend above all to the formation of very narrow subject matters (or institutions concerning) and therefore show partly very thin fascicles. Also included in the inventory are the documents of various authorities and organisations of the transitional economy (above all price control and usury control) as well as the opportunities for occupation. The documents of the German delegation to Düsseldorf for the implementation of the London Agreements of 1924 are particularly worthy of mention here. The German delegations in Düsseldorf and Koblenz were headed by Johannes Horion, Governor of the State of Düsseldorf, whose permanent deputy in the Düsseldorf delegation was the Privy Councillor Dr. Claussen. The delegation, which had its seat first in the Landeshaus, and since 24 November 1924 in the government building, began its activities in September and ended them in December 1924. Occasionally, documents of the District President Abbot CB II are attached to the files. These files were handed over by the Düsseldorf government in 1934. Professor Wentzcke saw others in the possession of the late governor Horion. The files of the district police commissioner Otto Kammhoff in Elberfeld make up a numerically large but not so important part. For a critical assessment of the source value of these files, the personal file of Kammhoff is to be consulted (No. 15993). The files summarized in the present find book extend from the middle of the 19th century to about 1944, with the emphasis on the labour movement since 1880, the First World War and the post-war period until about 1928. From the later years there are files of the police department only for 1931/32 and a few from the foreigner surveillance of the Second World War. The archivability is given in the majority; often the arrangement of a permanent storage is to be understood only from the special situation (crew defense). For reasons of a closed overdelivery, which is in itself also a document, however, it was decided not to carry out subsequent individual cassations. Due to the fragmentation of the authorities' activities (headquarters in Düsseldorf, branch office in Krefeld, registry of the district president), numerous multiple documents have been produced, as well as the simultaneous reporting to superior offices.

Discriminatory title formulations due to time constraints were left, but the title formation was corrected by additions or explanations in the Include note. Especially out of the anti-occupation defence files have been formulated under a title, which assumes a much more far-reaching fact than actually going facts. The same title structure was retained for general and special files. The terms, however, are uniformly reproduced as general; individual cases or accompanying acts (instead of generalia, specialia or adhibenda). The content of the memos has been broken down further, i.e. further information has been provided which is covered by the title of the file but not addressed in detail, or the formal page of the content of the file has been added for explanatory purposes. Documentation content that differs from this is indicated both in terms of content and form (especially print and periodicals, posters, etc.). In view of the very uneven size of individual volumes and their nevertheless promising titles, the size was shown (either in the exact or in an estimated size). The following subject areas were selected for the content and thematic classification 1) Political Affairs 2) Administrative Law, Foreigners' Affairs 3) Occupation Affairs 4) Military Affairs, Warfare 5) War and Forced Economy (Transition Economy) The subdivision into the individual points takes into account both the factual context and the formation of the files, i.e.h. where sufficiently large amounts of files were created into a complex under a (contemporary) subject, these series were also merged (e.g., Social Democracy and Anarchism Communism and related organizations National Socialism and related organizations). These definitions are of a purely practical nature and are intended to avoid classification according to ideological principles. In addition, either the alphabet or the chronology are strictly regarded as further order factors in individual classification groups. For the history of authorities and registries, the introduction to the finding aid G 21/2 (presidential office) is to be used. The files shall be quoted: BR 0007, BR 1041, BR 2049 current no.

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. In addition, preparatory work should also be carried out to enable the digital presentation of the banknotes on the Internet. The archive employee Martin Schittny took over the task of cataloguing and digitising the collection. As the first result the archive find book for the stock W 307 - Collection Karl Fritz can now be presented. It will be followed as an online application by the approximately 5,500 digitalised Karl Fritz image database, which now comprises 1531 numbers (numbers 265, 512, 609 and 706 are not documented) in 6.5 lfd.m.Freiburg, in January 2006 Kurt Hochstuhl.
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.

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.

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

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.
