In 1887, the church and school supplies that had previously been administered by Department I were separated as separate Department II, while the former Department II (direct taxes, domains and forests) was given the designation Department III. The church matters formed Division II Q. In 1921 the foundations and legacies, insofar as they were intended for church purposes, and in 1935 the church matters of the Jews were transferred from Department I L (sovereignty of the Land and judicial matters; see also there!) to the church department, while the other foundations and legacies in 1935 were transferred from Department I L to Department I S (see I S No. 207 et seq.). From 1926 to 1935, the church department also included the church collection system and the support of the Bethel Institutions (until 1926 for Department I P, since 1935 for Department I S). Since 1956, the churches and school supplies have been the responsibility of Division IV of the Government; the holdings M 1 II A are therefore continued in the holdings D 1 Abt. IV. The basic order of the files listed below goes back to St.A.Dir. Dr. Leesch, who in 1958 took up the files handed over to the State Archives Münster in the additions 41/38, 3/39, 20/48. With the incorporation of the delivery 7/61 of the government Detmold to the state archives Detmold, by which the former registry II Q could be almost completely restored, the rewriting of the find book became necessary; this opportunity was used to produce at the same time a new continuous number sequence. The concordance at the end of the volume makes it possible to find the files that were used earlier and quoted after the old designation. For use: Transactions concerning branch churches and chapels, even if special files are available, must always also be searched for in the files relating to the parish responsible. To be quoted is: M 1 II A No. ... Detmold, signed in July 1971. Wehlt The typewritten finding aid from 1971 was written off in 2002 with the program MIDOSA 95. The Midosa file was converted to VERA format by Startext in July 2007. Gahde, 26.7.2007
