Inventory description: Dept. 185 Family and company archive Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl Scope: 760 archive cartons, oversized formats (= 3169/3561 units of description (with a,b,c subdivisions approx. 3200) = 77 linear metres - of which 3.5 linear metres photo albums) Duration: 1877 - 1988 The holdings Dept. 185 Family and Company Archive Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl was handed over to the Worms City Archive as a deposit at the end of 1997 by Ludwig Cornelius Freiherr von Heyl (jun., 1920-2010). The documents stored in two cellar rooms of the Heylshof included or include both the private and parts of the former company archives of Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl until its closure in 1974. At the time of the takeover there was a list of "files Baron Ludwig jun. now in the Heylshofkeller", which had presumably been drawn up in the course of the relocation from Liebenau to the Heylshof. The written material was subdivided into VII main groups, the contents were roughly titled and the respective number of folders as well as their running time were recorded. For parts of the material, two storage-related provenance data were discernible. On the one hand the information "Files Baron Ludwig, vom Speicher Werk Liebenau" (old signature no. 784 - 889, no. 891 - 1163), on the other hand "Secretariat Baron Ludwig" (old signature no. 622 - 783) was found. Before being transported to the external magazine of the city archive (upper archive cellar in the administration building Adenauerring), the archive numbered the pieces and compiled an inventory list in which the folder spine titles were transferred, while maintaining the existing order. However, the material was not only filed in file folders, but was also partly tied up in metal cassettes, folders, a suitcase and in bundles. 45 large-format photo albums by Ludwig Freiherr von Heyl sen. (approx. 3.5 running metres) were also included. A total of approx. 1350 units were registered. For over ten years, this inventory list served as a provisional finding aid until the end of 2007, when the signatory began to record the archival data in the AUGIAS EDP archive program, which was completed in September 2009. In spring 2009, surprisingly more documents were discovered in a cupboard in the Heylshof, which were handed over to the city archives and could still be taken into account in the indexing. These were mainly documents relating to the Heylshof Foundation and files in connection with the liquidation of the Liebenau plant. First, a large part of the material was transferred to the city archives. In the run-up to the respective title recording in AUGIAS, a series of "handicrafts" had to be carried out. Various conservation measures were carried out in accordance with the requirements for the conservation of stocks. The documents were transferred from the file folders into acid-free archive folders, while the paper clips were also removed. Some files were dirty and cleaned, some had traces of mould. From many file folders two partly three new units were formed, which are reconstructable however by appropriate addition with the old archive signature as total units again. Some personal papers that could be rescued from the burnt-out Majorshof (Majorshof fire as a result of the war on 21.2.1945) in metal cassettes showed or show fire damage (brittle paper, poorly legible writing, etc.). In those cases in which it was justifiable from the conservation point of view, copies were made and the damaged documents left in envelopes in the fascicles for protection. Most recently, the units of description were packaged in acid-free archive cartons - a total of 757 cartons. The indexing was carried out according to Bär's principle (i.e. sequential numbering), the signatures of the provisional inventory list were recorded and enable the new signature to be found by means of concordance. If the file folders contained registry data, these were taken into account in the title recording so that statements about the completeness or the losses can also be made on the basis of old file directories to the private archive or the company registry. Various directories are available, e.g. in the holdings of Dept. 180/1 Firmenarchiv Heyl-Liebenau, in which the same registration mark system was used as for most documents from the provenance of Baron Ludwig sen. Field letters (1914-1918) were an extensive series, most of which had been stored bundled in wrapping paper. It was decided to remove the letters from the envelopes in the order in which they were found and to insert both parts, perforated, into the tube staplers. The positive aspects of this procedure were decisive in comparison to the damage caused by perforation, which was obviously originally intended anyway, as some field post letters already available in magazines show. The letters are easy to use when unfolded, they remain in the order in which they were found and the envelopes, most of which were destroyed in other correspondence after being placed in files, enable the sender to be identified. Most of the plans available, in particular for the Majorshof (also for the stable building converted into a residential building after the war), including plans of the Plum Building Council, were digitized, copies added to the inventory for better use, as well as two CD-ROMs with the photographs, which are also available in the photo archive. The large series with photo negatives (almost 7700 pieces) were left in the found labeled envelopes. They require subsequent cleaning and optimal conservation storage. This work should possibly be combined with a simultaneous digitalisation. The time-consuming creation of an index was dispensed with, as the keyword search in AUGIAS leads to the respective finding places. A good ten percent of the holdings were marked with a blocking notice in accordance with the requirements of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Archives Act. About 60 files were collected. These were essentially bulk documents such as newsletters from various associations and federations, advertising brochures, information leaflets (e.g. the so-called Fuchsbriefe), bank statements, etc. Classification: The classification for the collection Dept. 185 was only developed after the indexing, despite the provisional inventory list. This approach proved to be useful in retrospect, as it would certainly have given rise in advance to an excessively complex breakdown of content, which would probably have caused problems due to overlaps and thus not clearly realisable classifications. After completion of the distortion work, a three-division of the classification was fixed. The material assigned to main group 1 and accounting for approximately half of the inventory in terms of quantity comprises the estate of Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl sen. from about 1905/14 until his death in 1962. Here you will find personal-private items (name, family, diaries, private certificates and documents, anniversaries etc.), further correspondence (general correspondence, family, field post letters, artists' correspondence), also documents from the private, family and other sphere of activity of his wife Eva Marie von Heyl née von der Marwitz. In addition, material is available on his social commitment (in particular the Kunsthaus Heylshof Foundation), his political activities (town and country, political parties, political committees), his membership/activity in associations (e.g. Johanniterorden, Burschenschaft Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg, Heidelberger Kreis; NS economic group Leather Industry), numerous Wormser and supra-regional associations, his active military years and connections to military and veteran associations after 1918. In addition, photo albums and photo and negative series belong to the documents of Baron Ludwig sen. The second classification group comprises documents and correspondence since 1945 from Ludwig's son Ludwig Frhr. von Heyl jun., born in 1920, of the same name, with essentially correspondence (private and business), personal (private papers, war memoirs, documents concerning various stages of life, diary, family; duration 1920 - 1982) and various activities / activities in professional and trade associations, politics, Rotary club and associations. The third and last main classification group was set up for the files on the Lederwerke, primarily Heyl-Liebenau. Here you can find business documents from the time since 1923 when Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl sen. took over responsibility for the Lederwerke Heyl-Liebenau in Worms-Neuhausen, through the takeover and management by his son Ludwig jun. to the dissolution of this company, the last to produce leather in Worms, in 1974. Content: The documents in the inventory begin with Ludwig von Heyls years of study in Heidelberg (around 1905) and the simultaneous entry into his father's factory, the Lederwerke Cornelius Heyl. Private and general correspondence series as well as extensive field post (1914-1918) document his extremely broad activities in associations and federations of the Protestant national liberal bourgeoisie. Correspondence with associations, mainly regional (Aufbauverein bzw. Wiederaufbauwerk Worms e.V., Verkehrsverein Worms, Kasino- und Musikgesellschaft, Ruderclub Worms e.V., etc.) but also supra-regional associations include some file fascicles, others contain correspondence and documents on the Order of St John. The wealth of material on Ludwig von Heyl's decades of membership and activity in the exclusive student association Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg and the student association Heidelberger Kreis deserves special mention. During Ludwig von Heyl's active military service, there are records of his later active association with military veterans' associations and comradeships. Also correspondence with artists (e.g. sculptor David Fahrner, Prof. Schmoll von Eisenwerth, Daniel Greiner, Erich Arnold), some of which he sponsored as patrons, can be found in this collection. Ludwig C. von Heyls political activity (for the DVP) in the Wormser city parliament from 1918 to 1930, as hess. His involvement in local politics after 1945, as well as his work in the Evangelical Regional Church, is reflected in his work as a member of the Landtag (1924-1927). The splendid photo albums (from 1903 - 1937), which not only document the family environment and private activities, but also illustrate political and social events with supplementary source material (documents, newspaper clippings, leaflets, programmes, etc.), have a special source value. A continuation of the series was obviously planned, but was not implemented. However, material collections on "projected photo albums" are available until 1950. These were collected in envelopes and were stored in a suitcase when they were taken over. Further photographic material, negative series (negatives, glass plates, prints), including photographs from children's schools in Worms and the Sophienstift old people's home from the 1920s as well as photographs relating to Heyl-Liebenau offer a dense pictorial tradition up to the 1950s, and there are also some photo albums of other family members. Ludwig von Heyl sen. created a large proportion of photographic material and postcard series as material collections for lectures on travel. In the written record, which comes from the provenance of Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl jun., are, apart from correspondence (private and business), a large part of his work and membership in professional associations (hptsl. Verband der Deutschen Lederindustrie, in the association and in the VGTC - Verein für Gerberchemie und Technik). The available stock includes materials of various sizes from the Heyl-Liebenau leather works (from 1923), Emil Waeldin AG (from 1936), subsidiaries and foreign companies. Business correspondence, travel reports, daily, weekly and monthly reports, annual financial statements and memos are the focus of the documents. The final liquidation is also documented. The Kunsthaus Heylshof Foundation also has a diverse collection of records from its foundation until 1972, which almost completely corresponds to the registry list of the Kunsthaus Heylshof Foundation Files in Dept. 185 No. 2536. It includes, for example, inventories, documents relating to the Swarzenski Catalogue, correspondence, minutes of meetings of the Foundation's Board of Directors, documents relating to various works of art. The whereabouts of the Heylshof plans also listed in the aforementioned file by Attorney Engisch could not yet be determined. The extensive series of correspondence of father and son Ludwig C. von Heyl in this collection contain diverse material not only on the close members of one's own family, but also on the families married to them or linked by assumption of sponsorships. Here the old noble family of the Marwitz (Friedersdorf) is to be mentioned in particular. Ludwig C. Baron von Heyl sen. married Eva Marie von der Marwitz in 1917, with whose twin brothers Gebhard and Bernhard (Geppy and Banni, both killed in World War I) he was already in friendship during his studies in the Corps Saxo-Borussia. Extensive correspondence was also maintained with Adelheid and Bodo von der Marwitz (the other two siblings). Practical hints: When searching by search run, please note that different spellings should be taken into account for the keywords, especially for names, associations, etc. In the course of the manual sorting of the units of description, the alphabetical order on the one hand and the chronological order on the other hand were taken into account, especially for correspondence series. In the case of series of files of business documents, where the files had to be split, the original state of order of the files was normally maintained. This can lead to the fact that, since the files were filed chronologically from the back to the front over certain periods of time, a "chronological turner" can occur in the printed index if the chronological order is behind the filing order. The classification group 2.6.1. professional and trade associations, chambers proved to be so extensive and multi-layered by the old registry order that a complete reorganization was refrained from. For this reason, we recommend either a keyword search run or a review of the entire section in the search book for key areas of interest. For the photo negative series and partly for the glass plate negatives, handwritten claddings and indexes are available in which these are recorded almost completely with numbers and short details for illustration. This generally ensures that individual negatives can be accessed in a targeted manner. Reference to supplementary archive holdings: Here, above all, Dept. 180/1 Heyl'sche Lederwerke Liebenau in the town archives of Worms is to be consulted for the documents concerning the company, as it can be seen from the old registry signatures that the material originates from a provenance. The holdings complement each other and together reflect the original company registration. For the written material referring to the private-personal area or the family, the other large collection is primarily Dept. 186 Family Archives Leonhard von Heyl / Nonnenhof. Here, too, there are interdependencies in the tradition between the two stocks. This is partly also to be documented by preserved old archive registration folders in Dept. 185, which bear the provenance indication Freiherrlich von Heyl zu Herrnsheim'sche Privat-Verwaltung (e.g. Dept. 185 No. 246, No. 298). For the family, the collection holdings of Dept. 170/26 must also be taken into account. For the political activity in the city parliament and in the local politics of father and son Ludwig von Heyl in general, the holdings of Dept. 5 City Administration before 1945 and Dept. 6 City Administration Worms after 1945 were to be used.

Publisher: French Ministry of Aviation; graphic: M. Carrère; print: Imprimerie nationale; size: 84 x 52 cm; number: 1; multicoloured graphic: A pilot calling "engagez-vous", above him an airplane dropping leaflets, on which various professions in the Air Force are listed with typical objects.

Preliminary remark: Since the end of the 19th century, military command and administrative authorities have increasingly issued general memos, training instructions, budget overviews, equipment descriptions, maneuver reports, combat experience, overviews of foreign armies, etc. to subordinate departments and units. These publications were intended to provide rapid and reliable information and were generally to be handled "only for official business", "confidential", "only in the hands of officers", "secret", "top secret" and others. Admittedly, such restrictions could change according to external political circumstances - e.g. rankings were only published in peace - so that it is not possible to clearly distinguish them from announcements in official journals or other publications. Even the regulations - Bestand M 635/1 - do not strictly differentiate these printed matters, as both their subject matter and the legal obligation were assessed differently. In general, it can be assumed that communications produced and distributed via private companies had less confidential content than those originating from the Reichsdruckerei; writings without an indication of the publisher were usually classified as secret. The documents were usually kept with the relevant files, some of them also under special lock and key, and arrived with them in the archive. The Reichsarchiv branch or the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart has removed the largely printed, at least duplicated material from the previous environment and kept it further when larger file excretions were pending, such as in the case of the fortress Ulm. In the same way, printed matter found in private estates, despite their official and mostly confidential character, was taken from there. Under changing aspects and changing editors - government inspector Alfons Beiermeister, Army Archives Council Captain of the Reserve Franz Knoch, Army Archives employee August Martin and others - the individual items thus produced were classified in the library, under the regulations, under the memorandums, later stock M 730, and under the pamphlets, later stock J 150, each of which also contained other written material. Small-format printed booklets were preferably sent to the pamphlets, while copies in folio format were sent to the memoirs or, if they were "historical" summaries, to the "Kriegsarchiv" (M 1/11) holdings. Double copies could be found in all the collections mentioned as well as in the library. Pieces assigned to the archive since about 1920 seem to have been set up as hand copies, if this proved to be useful. Foreign printed materials were only occasionally sent in via the representatives of the Chief of Army Archives, among others. As a result of the war, the indexing and classification faltered from about 1941 onwards, so that the corresponding repertories remained unfinished or were only completed after the Second World War - according to M 730 - with the insertion of individual addenda. as part of a job creation measure, the temporary employee Anneliese Fink compiled the regulations and other printed matter(1), which were only partially recorded in various lists and not signed, for the memorandums (M 730) this was done by the student temporary employee Anne Weber. With the temporary cooperation of the aspiring inspectors Elstner and Wüst as well as Häfele, Kronberger and Schön, library material was then sorted out, the regulations and the other printed matter were distributed among the new holdings M 635/1 and M 635/2, and the library and the pamphlets (J 150) in particular were checked for corresponding material on the basis of the catalogues and repertories: Now that 64 from the library, 275 from the original compilation of the regulations, among others, 275 from the memorandums (M 730), 363 from the pamphlets (J 150), 88 from the "Kriegsarchiv" (M 1/11), 21 and 52 pieces from other mostly collection holdings have been taken over and about 30 have been handed over to the military library or put back into the associated files according to their provenance, and 88 duplicates have been discarded, the holdings now comprise 863 volumes, booklets and individual sheets in 13 metres of shelving.Not included in the new holdings - already due to the necessarily different storage - were the maps and plans which were almost exclusively produced for official use and which make up the own holdings M 640 "Military Maps" and M 652 "Plan Collection". Furthermore, as already indicated, the general official gazettes and individual publications are missing here, for example the official general staff works on past acts of war, troop newspapers and war illustrations, "Tornisterschriften", training letters, etc. The same applies to wall attacks by military authorities, which form the basis of inventory J 151 "Collection of Wall Attacks", as well as pure film and pictorial material published by military authorities, a small part of which can be found in the inventories of the "Image Collections" (M 700 ff.). While writings originating from the military side were incorporated here regardless of their content, elaborations by civilian bodies - Foreign Office, Prussian Ministries of the Interior and Justice, R e i c h s k o l o n i a l a m t , R e i c h s k o l o n i a m t , R e i c h s a l a m t a n i n e , etc. - are included if they address decidedly military or military-policy matters. It would not have been possible to rank them according to the publishers because, as mentioned above, they are often not given. Since the alphabetical order of the geographical and subject matters in the holdings of the memorandums (M 730) and the pamphlets (J 150) occasionally overlaps and thus seems less suitable, and since no comprehensive classification scheme has been preserved from the time of the Württemberg army administration, it made sense to base the new holdings on the "Einheitsaktenplan für den Bereich der Heeresleitung und des Ministeramts" of 1931(2). This was all the more true as it, or its predecessors, was formed in the interwar period and also contains documents from this epoch to a large extent. Further general elaborations are to be expected, mainly in the case of the file holdings of the War Ministry and the General Command; to record them and to insert them here in addition, however, would have required a disproportionately high effort, so that a corresponding quite desirable compilation of later time must remain reserved.The spelling applied in the find book is based on today's rules.

The holdings J 150 (pamphlets - collection) were mainly formed from estates and foundations of former officers, as well as from other private donations. A large number of brochures originate from the collection campaign for field libraries in the First World War. These writings have not been incorporated into the Army Archives Manual Library in order not to complicate the clarity of the holdings. For this reason alone, it seemed advisable to structure the material in a separate collection and thus make it accessible for research. Major General z. V. Sieglin had begun his sighting in February 1939. The collection was set up and indexed the following year by the archive employee Martin. Since in many cases an author or editor is not named, the classification of the pamphlets into keyword groups was justified. The list also includes keywords for which no writings are yet available, but in whose groups access can be expected. For this reason, there are also gaps in the consecutive sequence of numbers, the closure of which depends on the later use of new keywords. The alphabetical order could thus be maintained in the directory. The indexing took place in the Allegro library database. The holdings can be searched both with the library program and via the online find book. Contents and Evaluation The collection essentially contains state and military policy writings from the time of the First World War and the immediate post-war period; there is particularly abundant material on questions of war guilt and war causes, on questions of food and raw materials in war, and finally on the Versailles Peace Treaty and its effects and consequences. The collection also reflects the psychological and moral attitude of the German population in the war and post-war years. Also strongly represented is the disarmament problem up to the time of National Socialist freedom of the armed forces and the question of security in the victorious states. There is also a large amount of Allied writings from the time of the First World War. These are mostly leaflets that were dropped over the trenches. Among the foreign-language writings are those published on behalf of the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin and written in Arabic or Turkish. The collection also contains material on the National Socialist state, propaganda writings and the events of the time. The collection consists mainly of brochures and sheets with mass circulation. However, there is no lack of general historical, military and cultural writings, as far as their external presentation made an integration into the pamphlet collection appear expedient. For the same reasons, individual journals and newspapers were included in the collection if they were incomplete. Among these most represented journals are the "Süddeutsche Monatshefte" (Süddeutsche Monatshefte) (often with marginal comments by the Württemberg general Gerold von Gleich) and the "Deutsche Flugschriften" published by the national-liberal journalist Ernst Jäckh in the First World War. The weekly publication "Am heiligen Quell Deutscher Kraft", published by General Ludendorff, was also accepted. The writings in question can be used as source material for research purposes in war and military science and for dealing with historical-political questions of the Weimar Republic and National Socialism, especially about Germany's political situation and its struggle for equal rights. During the Second World War the stock was moved to Neuenstein Castle. After the pamphlets had been returned, it was discovered that the collection had been rummaged through by unknown parties and had become disordered. The reorganisation required as a result resulted in the loss of a number of pamphlets as well as certain deficiencies which made a change in the previous arrangement appear necessary. For the purpose of simplification and to achieve a better overview, individual sections, especially the pamphlets listed under "World War" such as "Nutrition, Finances etc.", were dissolved and included under the corresponding headings of the general collection for the sake of simplification and to achieve a better overview, all the more since the separation had not always been strictly carried out from the beginning and therefore numerous publications referring to the First World War were already listed in the general index. The holdings are also documented in the library catalogue of the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart.
