Inventory description: Dept. 180/1 Heylsche Lederwerke Liebenau Scope: 260 archive boxes and 7 linear metres of books/standing (= 1104 units of registration = 40 linear metres) Duration: 1879 - 1975 Acquisition, history of the inventory Dept. 180/1 comprises the most complete company archive within the archive holdings of the Worms municipal archive. It represents the development of the Worms leather industry, especially in the period from about 1922 to the end of production after its discontinuation at the factory in Worms-Neuhausen in 1974. There are no losses during the war, cassations of the material, of which nothing is known in detail, were obviously limited. After the end of production in the Liebenau plant (Neuhausen, area Kurfürstenstraße, today the workshops and administration of Lebenshilfe Worms are located there), the inventory, initially operating as Abt. 169 (until its renaming in 1996), was taken over by the Worms municipal archives in 1974 in consultation with Mr Ludwig Frhr. v. Heyl, born in 1920. Until 2008, it was stored in a standing position (mainly file folders, cf. fig.) in the Adenauerring office building, Oberer Keller, with a circumference of 49 linear metres. When the files were selected for submission to the archives, a considerable part of the documents relating to the work (which in turn were mixed with Heyl's family archives) was separated from the parts handed over to the archives; this part was transferred to the municipal archives in 1997 as Dept. 185. The latter, a very rich and extensive collection, has been listed since 2007 and contains both company and private documents of the von Heyl family. It is essential to use the inventory to supplement the source material available here (cf. in future the preface to the finding aid book). The archive holdings of Dept. 180/1 did not have a clear internal structure at the time of its transfer and were first opened up or provisionally in 1993/94 by the student Mr Burkhard Herd in preparation for his diploma thesis on the leather industry, written at the University of Mannheim in 1994, from 1933 to 1945 (using Heyl-Liebenau as an example). Herd numbered the folders and staplers (approx. 650 units) and entered them (without running times and closer registration according to the usually available back titles) into an alphabetical list of topics, which was able to convey a very compressed first impression of the material with twelve pages. Herd's subsequent work (masch. 144 p.) includes a partial evaluation of questions of Nazi economic history using the example of the leather industry. In this form the stock was always to be used only very limitedly. In 1993, Volker Brecher last evaluated the documents for his study on working conditions in the leather industry during the Second World War as well as for the question of the use of forced labourers. In 2007, Christoph Hartmann presented an analysis of selected aspects of company development in the 1920s. Apart from that, the value of the rich source material for the economic history of Worms and the entire development of the leather industry has remained unused to this day, even nationwide, due to the fact that it has not been developed. From December 2007 to the end of February 2009, the entire holdings were completely listed by the signatory and entered into 'Augias'. In the process, a classification was developed which attempts to take into account the essential overdelivery characteristics and structures of the material. The material was successively brought to the Raschi House and is mainly stored here. The classification reaches its limits where (how often) the documents mix family-private affairs with company matters, where foreign business and domestic activities are intertwined (this applies to the entire field of correspondence) and the like. There have been relatively clear distinctions in the area of personnel and the activities of the company director in committees, chambers and associations since 1942 and 1949, respectively. Main focus and significance About half of the documents are divided between the time before and after 1945; there were probably no war losses. The value of the stock for economic historical research is to be estimated very highly. The main focus in terms of time was between 1922/23 (independence of the company) and 1962 (death of Ludwig C. v. Heyl sen.) or the end of production in 1974. At the end of the 60s the factory still employed about 400 people. Heyl'schen Lederwerke Liebenau in Neuhausen was taken over in 1901 by Cornelius Wilhelm v. Heyl through the acquisition of the shares and integrated into Heyl'sche Gesamtunternehmen. The goatskin factory, which has existed since the end of the 19th century (formerly Schlösser

Foreword: The find book was created in 1966 by Mr. Kossack, the head of the archive at that time. The following introductory presentation is limited primarily to administrative-historical aspects, the present collection being specifically the administrative management of the Charité Hospital. After the establishment of the institution in 1710, which was initially to serve as a plague hospital but then, since Berlin was spared the plague, served as a workhouse and garrison hospital, it was subordinated to the Prussian Poor Management. The Cabinet Order of King Friedrich Wilhelm I of 8 November 1726 expanded the facility into a citizen hospital according to the plan of the first inspector Christian Habermass. In 1798, in addition to the Directorate for the Poor, the College Medicum was included in the supervision of the Charité. The measure was intended to improve medical care and clinical education, as the poor management only supervised from the point of view of the administration. From the very beginning the training of military doctors for the Prussian army was in the foreground. As a result of the introduction of Stein's reforms, there was no more room for the two superior authorities. In 1816 it was subordinated to the Berlin government, which was part of the Ministry of the Interior as a central authority. After the dissolution of the Berlin government, supervision was transferred to the police president in Berlin. Various reforms were carried out concerning the internal conditions of the Charité as a teaching and medical institution. By the Regulativ of 7 September 1830 a "Royal Board of Trustees for Hospital Affairs" was created, which was subordinated to the Ministry for Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs. This board of trustees, as the central authority, from now on supervised the Charité, both from an administrative and a clinical point of view. The board of trustees consisted of a president and six other members. The President was the Privy Senior Medical Officer Prof. Dr. Johann Nepomuk Rust. Rust, who himself was director of the surgical and ophthalmological clinic of the Charité, carried out an important activity for the Charité. From the beginning, the management of the Charité was carried out by a doctor and, in administrative matters, by a chief inspector. In 1846 the management of the institution was transferred to an officer, the Major Hirsch, while the Chief Inspector Carl Heinrich Esse was responsible for the administrative affairs. This ended the supervision of the Board of Trustees for Hospital Affairs over the Charité. The dissolution of the Board of Trustees took place at the beginning of 1848. The Charité Hospital was now under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs. An "Instruction for the Directorate of the Royal Charité Hospital of 3 May 1846" regulated the legal status and duties of the director. An "Instruction für die Charité-Direktion zu Berlin" of 30 March 1850, issued by the Ministry for Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs, established the legal status and tasks of the Charité-Direktion. After Hirsch's departure in 1849, a directorate consisting of a medical director and an administrative director was set up. This instruction from 1850 remained in force until 1929. After that, the two directors were legally equal and had to fulfil the duties of the previous Board of Trustees. The powers conferred on the Charité directorate corresponded to those of the governments according to the instructions of 23 October 1817 and 31 December 1825. A cabinet order of 6 January 1904 determined that the post of medical director should always be filled by a senior military doctor. With the departure of the last medical director on 1 October 1929, this post was not filled again. This prompted the Ministry of Science, the Arts and National Education to submit a new draft instruction to the Administrative Director. Thereafter, the Charité was described as "an independent foundation under public administration, under public law, with its own legal personality". The legal representative was the Administrative Director of the Charité Hospital. His tasks included the "care for the Charité, the direct execution of the administrative business concerning them, the supervision of the economic and technical operations, the management of their property and cash management, as well as the preservation of their justice and the care and promotion of their internal and external existence". It has not been possible to establish whether these Instructions have entered into force. However, a review of the relevant administrative files of the inventory has shown that the draft instructions were followed until 1945. According to an overview of the areas of work existing in the Administration Directorate from 1931, the following areas were available: -Office Management - Calculature - Cash - General Registry - Spa Costs - Office - Reception and Health Interview - Costumery - Chancery - Chancery - Telephone Headquarters - Kitchen Administration - Home Management - Washing and Laundry - Inspections - Operations Inspection The Business Distribution Plan of 1 November 1937 lists 37 subject areas with 35 civil servants and 50 employees. No new business distribution plan was drawn up in the following years. (Cf. business distribution plan of the Charité management v. 1.11.1937 in: Charité-Direktion Nr. 2168 - Course of business of the Charité). History of records and holdings: I. Registry ratios: The registry of the Charité Directorate corresponds in its layout and management to the older authority registries. The file titles correspond to the file contents. Until the introduction of the standing file registry and the new file plan according to the decimal classification at the end of 1932, the registry management remained unchanged. There existed main groups, marked with Roman numerals. The further subdivision (Arabic numeral) referred to the subject group and the third numeral to the file unit (e.g. I.1.No.4). The administrative subordination of the Charité Hospital under 4 different central authorities (from 1727 Armen-Direktion, 1817 Regierung Berlin, 1822 Polizei-Präsidium Berlin, 1830 -1846 Kuratorium für die Krankenhaus-Angelegenheiten, from 1846 Ministerium für die geistlichen-, Unterrichts- und Medizinalangelegenheiten direkt) also had an effect on the registry conditions. Thus the files of the individual superior authorities kept on the Charité were inserted after the change of the subordination relationship of the registry of the Charité Directorate and continued there. The files, which were not continued at the Charité directorate, were retained in order not to break the historical context. The competent State Archives have been consulted and have given their consent. With the introduction of the new file plan at the end of 1932, two registry layers were created, so that according to § 62 OVG a separation of both registry layers was carried out while continuing the archive signatures. There was no interworking according to § 63 OVG. The new file plan was four-digit (Arabic numerals) and was initially retained in the years after 1945. TWO. Access: Before the takeover, the inventory was located in the administration building of the Faculty of Medicine (Charité). A pre-regulation after the registry signatures had already taken place. In order to be able to carry out archive indexing and to achieve controlled use, it was necessary to transfer the holdings to the university archive. The takeover took place in the spring of 1961. The archive had to be rearranged according to the registry signatures, which took place in the autumn of 1961. The collection also includes approx. 500 books of recordings/receptions from the 1st half of the 18th century to the end of the 19th century, which are stored separately and were not included in the finding aid book. III. archival treatment: After completion of the order work 1963 with the listing was begun. The file units were listed individually. The "extended distortion" (§ 87 OVG) was applied. The internal order was based on the existing registry order, since this remained unchanged during the activity of the registry trainer (§ 61 OVG). A reorganization was therefore not necessary (§ 65 - 68 OVG). The stocktaking process was carried out in accordance with § 49 OVG, since the number of files of the poor directorate, the government of Berlin, the police headquarters and the board of trustees for hospital affairs, which were not continued, is very small. In spite of the two existing registry layers, a continuous distortion of the inventory was carried out. The indexing was carried out in the years 1963 - 1965 by the then head of the university archive, Mr. Kossack. Citation style: HU UA, Charité-Verwaltungsdirektion.01, No. XXX.

Inventory description: Dept. 18 Bauordnungsamt Scope: 1129 VE (= 197 archive cartons and Überform, 32 lfm = status 14.4.2014) Duration: 1840 - 1990 (above all 1900 - 1950) I. For the development of the building administration Due to the considerable increase in municipal building activity, an independent building and civil engineering office was set up in 1891 in place of the previous city building authority by resolution of the city council assembly, with the building police being located at the building authority. From 1899/1900 the offices were again combined as the Stadtbauamt (Stadtbauamt) (under master builder Georg Metzler, from 1910 Hermann Hüther) with further personnel reinforcement, whereby the following departments existed (essentially until 1939): - canal and road construction; - harbour constructions; - building police and building maintenance; - new construction; - surveying office; - horse husbandry/street cleaning/garbage removal; - municipal nursery; - registry/office. In 1939, after a division of the city planning office, there were three separate offices - building police; - municipal building police (with the building police under the direction of the city planning council (since 1933) Walter Köhler, the latter also included the city nursery); - municipal civil engineering office including street cleaning and surveying office (director: city planning council Hüther). The division of the department in spring 1946 provided for a building department (department head: Hanns Schmitt). After the retirement of Walter Köhler (1890-1977) in 1956, the management of the building administration was transferred to Listmann. At that time it comprised - the building administration office (including the rent authority); - the office for town planning and building supervision; - the building construction office; - the civil engineering office; - the surveying office; - the garden office. Since then, the building administration has been reorganised several times, most recently comprehensively at the beginning of 1998 with the establishment of a building authority from the merger of various building authorities and the establishment of a building maintenance and administration company. II. structure and content The department set up in 1996 in the course of relocations is composed of the file deliveries of the Building Code Office (63) in connection with the demolition of private residential and commercial (non-urban) buildings. The material came into the city archives mainly in the context of a large takeover on 10.02.1993, further by smaller levies. These are mainly building police approval procedures (individual case files) of the city planning office or city building department, which are laid out according to streets or companies. The length and scope of the project, as well as the uniformity and peculiarity of the file management, which stretched far back beyond the caesura of 1945, made it sensible to set it up as a separate department. The content includes numerous files on important industrial companies in Worms, including Cornelius Heyl AG, Lederwerke Doerr, and others.

On the history of Army High Command 7: The deployment plan for the West Army in a future war against France in 1914 provided for the formation of a total of seven armies on the German western border. The 7th Army, whose jurisdiction extended from the Hagenau-Saarburg line to the Alsatian-Swiss border, had the task of ensuring the protection of the left flank of the Western Army and thus guaranteeing the three so-called encircling armies (1 - 3, see Schliefen Plan) corresponding lateral protection. This 7th Army, which was under the command of the General Colonels of Heeringen, was assigned the General Command of the XV AK (Strasbourg), the General Command of the XIV AK (Karlsruhe) and the General Command of the XIV Reserve Corps at fighting formations. With the exception of a few Prussian and Württemberg troops, most of which were in the 28th Reserve Division, the 55th Mixed Replacement Brigade and the 55th Landwehr Brigade, the majority of the 7th Army (in addition to the units of the XV AK) consisted of the Baden troops of the XIV AK and the XIV Reserve Corps.With these troops, in one of the first battles of the world war, Colonel General von Herringen succeeded in stopping the advance of French units on the Rhine border and throwing them back from the Alsatian plain to the Vosges ridges. the transition from the war of movement to the war of positions, combined with the accelerated exchange of troops within the various army corps and armies, blurred the clear assignability of certain units to larger units. With the calming of the Upper Alsace and Vosges Front in the winter of 1915, larger parts of the fighting Baden troops were withdrawn from the area of responsibility of the 7th Army and replaced by Landwehr formations (also Baden, but also Württemberg, Bavarian and Prussian). These units, which were deployed at almost all theatres of war in the West, generally remained under the command of the 7th Army High Command. While the army groups and army fronts were pronounced intermediate instances of the higher leadership, the "Army High Commands" as command authorities combined combat command with administrative tasks. Their army area was divided into the "operational area" and the "stage" in which the supply facilities of the army were stationed. The allocation of army troops (pioneers, transport troops and air forces) was based on the respective operational objectives and also varied in the area of the 7th Armed Forces. In 1914, however, the air force department, field airship department, telegraph department and a radio command with two heavy radio stations belonged to the "basic equipment" of every army. Inventory history: The knowledge about the original jurisdiction of the 7th Army and the troops that formed it will have been decisive for the fact that the military tradition of this large formation was not transferred to the army archive in Potsdam after the end of the First World War, but remained in the Heilbronn branch archive and later in the army archive in Stuttgart. From there, the closed collection was transferred to the General State Archives in 1949 as part of the transfer of "Baden" military provenances (for the archive history of the XIV Army Corps tradition, see the preliminary remarks on Repertory 456 F 8 - Deputy General Command XIV Army Corps). Order and Distortion: The present inventory was recorded in 1985 by Heinrich Raab, a long-time administrator of the inventory group 456. The title recordings available on index cards were then sorted according to departments in accordance with the military business distribution plan and according to subjects within the departments. When the holdings were repackaged in acid-free archive containers, the undersigned checked and partially supplemented the title records, but the internal order of the holdings was largely retained. In addition, file fascicles found in other holdings of the inventory group 456 were integrated into the inventory according to provenance. Karlsruhe, August 1990Kurt Hochstuhl
