Description: In this find book all documents are listed, which I considered important for the history of my family. They cover the period from about 1849 to the mid-60s of the 20th century and end with the death of my father on January 22, 1966. When I began reviewing the extensive records, I had no idea how exciting exploring the history of my own family would be for me. The fact that my two grandfathers were already "eager to travel (my mother's father with the Imperial Navy from 1901-1903 in East Asia and in World War I on the armoured cruiser Goeben in the Mediterranean and in the Bosporus, my father's father travelled a lot professionally and for some time even lived with his family in Brussels) makes research even more interesting. I consider my father's diary notes and hundreds of related negatives from the Second World War to be particularly valuable. The Leica, with which my father had also photographed in Cologne since 1931, accompanied him throughout the war. The photographs are in a separate list as part of the "FamilieBilder" collection. The archive material is stored in six archive cartons and is kept in my parents' house in Cologne-Dellbrück until it is handed over to the Historical Archive of the City of Cologne.Archival documents, which are stored because of their size in a large-format cardboard box or at another place, are likewise particularly marked.contents of the archival cartons:Carton 1: D001 - D124Carton 2: D125 - D206Carton 3: D207 - D406Carton 4: D407 - D422Carton 5: D423 - D451Carton 6: D452 - D524Cologne, in March 2007Horst SchmitzUnorderable until: 2050
