900 Akten

Preliminary remark: With the First Law on the Transfer of the Administration of Justice to the Reich of 16 February 1934, the judicial authorities of the Länder became Reich authorities. In Baden, the Ministry of Justice was replaced by the Württemberg-Baden Department of the Reich Ministry of Justice on the basis of the Second Transition Act of 5 December 1934. The President of the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court ran the business on the premises of the former Ministry in Herrenstraße 1. In 1944 this building was destroyed; almost all files of the "Presidential Department" were burned. On the other hand, the files of the ¿administrative department¿ in Herrenstraße - or in the Oberlandesgerichtsgebäude in Hoffstraße? - to have remained largely intact. Together with the administrative files of the Attorney General at the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court (309 access 1987-54), which were at least for the most part rescued, these files therefore form a source basis, which cannot be overestimated, for researching the justice system in the Nazi state. Since 1940 Alsace also belonged to the Sprengel of the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court. Since both the files of the Higher Regional Court and those of the General Prosecutor have been destroyed in Stuttgart, the Karlsruhe tradition has a significance that goes far beyond the narrower area of responsibility. Only files which contained nothing or only collections of official printed matter of the Reich Ministry of Justice other than the cover page were cashed. The basic drawing comes from Prof. Dr. Gerhard Schmitt/Heidelberg, who thankfully retired from this task out of legal-historical interest. His title recordings were revised and supplemented by archive inspector Andrea Rumpf and archive referees Irmgard Becker, Peter Exner and Christoph Popp. The classification of the general file plan of the judiciary according to the status of 1941 remained unchanged. Since the positions of the file plan on the file level are frequently occupied several times, even the lowest level of the file plan was treated as a category and placed before the title entries accordingly; this seems unusual in individual cases and as a superfluous doubling of the file title, but as a rule it is easier to recognize the togetherness of general, collective (individual case) and accessory files. The texts were entered by Mrs. Edeltraud Reibenspies, Mr. Ralf Quellmalz made the registers; the final editing was done by the undersigned. The collection comprises about 12 m in 114 archive containers. Karlsruhe, March 1997Konrad Krimm Conversion: In June 2014, the cataloguing data for the existing holdings were imported into the archive software Scope Archiv. Individual structural inconsistencies between file and data stock were resolved and the few existing content errors in the original data were corrected. The structure found was essentially retained and only slightly streamlined. The conversion and structural verification of the data was carried out by Alexander Hoffmann, the final editorial work was carried out by the undersigned.Karlsruhe, June 2014Martin Stingl
