Preliminary remark: The beginnings of the Württemberg legation in the Netherlands are closely linked to the history of the Subsidy Regiment Württemberg. After Duke Karl Eugen had made the regiment - generally known as the Cape or Indian Regiment - available to the Dutch East India Company, he sent the Captain of Penasse to Holland in November 1787 to take care of matters relating to subsidies. The authorized representative was at first temporarily, since the middle of the year 1788 permanently present in Middelburg. Among his successors the mission to the legation in The Hague expanded. After the suicide of the envoy of von Hügel in 1805, it remained vacant for more than two years before a Württemberg envoy was again accredited to the king's court in July 1807. With the occupation of Dutch territory by French troops, Württemberg's diplomatic representation in the Netherlands was also abolished, and in September 1814, following the formation of the Kingdom of the United Netherlands, another envoy was sent to The Hague; however, the Consul General in Rotterdam, August Freiherr von Wächter, also served as the diplomatic representative until 1816. Until 1830, the seat of the legation changed between Utrecht, Amsterdam, Brussels and The Hague, depending on where the court was located. Due to the political changes in 1848, the Württemberg embassy in the Netherlands was abolished and the remaining tasks were transferred to the Württemberg consulate in the Netherlands. The representatives of Württemberg in the Netherlands were:Captain of Penasse, Chargé d'Affaires, 1787 - 1798Contamine, Chargé d'Affaires, 1798 - 1799Johann Christian Friedrich Freiherr von Hügel, Ministerresident, April 1799 - January 1805 Freiherr von Harmensen, extraordinary envoy and minister, July 1807 - September 1807Freiherr von Steube, extraordinary envoy and minister, October 1807 - February 1808Graf von Dürckheim-Montmartin, extraordinary envoy and authorized minister, February 1808 - September 1808Freiherr von Steube, extraordinary envoy and authorized minister, September 1808 - June 1810Freiherr Gremp von Freudenstein, extraordinary and authorized minister, October 1814 - April 1815August von Wächter, Consul General, Chargé d'Affaires, Prime Minister, April 1815 - October 1839Freiherr von Linden, appointed on 15 October 1808 - September 1808Freiberr von Steube, extraordinary envoy and authorized minister, September 1808 - June 1810August von Wächter, Consul General, Chargé d'Affaires, Prime Minister, April 1815 - October 1839Freiherr von Linden, appointed on 15 December 1818181839 October 1815, not accredited after his appointmentFreiherr von Reinhardt, Ministerresident, c. 1843Freiherr von Pfeil, Ministerresident, 1844 - 1848.the "Legation Archive" was brought to Stuttgart by Baron von Neuffer after Hügel's death and partly handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, partly to the War College. In May 1807, the Legation Secretaries von Seeger and von Münch were instructed to record the files that had not yet been catalogued and to reunite the separate parts. Since the concept books left behind by Hügel were kept in chronological order, von Seeger refrained from ordering them by subject and formed chronological series. He made copies for the War Collegium of important processes concerning matters of subsidies. In July 1807, the newly appointed envoy of Harmensen took over the embassy registry in this state, and the order of registration created under von Seeger was not to be retained for the future. However, a comprehensive reorganization could not be carried out at first due to the change of envoys and legation secretaries. Only lists of new files were drawn up. It was not until March 1808 that the Legation Secretary of Münch was able to complete the necessary reorganization of the registry. The directories created by Seeger also received new signatures. The registry scheme designed by Münch with 10 group and one general fascicle was retained or extended for the following period. In the last decade of the Württemberg legation, however, more and more business technical series such as "Miszellaneen, Allerhand, Unerledigte Angelegenheiten, Varia u.a." were produced, so that these titles finally occupied one third of the stock. after the dissolution of the legation, the files were brought to Stuttgart, incorporated into the registry of the Foreign Ministry and handed over with documents of this provenance to the Haus- und Staatsarchiv around 1870. They comprised the inventories (=delivery) 42 and 43 of inventory E 70 legation files. The original handwritten repertories are now only available in a transcript made with a typewriter, and in 1976 the mixed holdings were revised to extract the written material from the legation in The Hague. The separation of the archival records and their assignment to the A and E groups, in accordance with the classification of the Main State Archives, was dispensed with, since the documents recorded for the first time in 1807 are closely related to the subsequent ones as preliminary files. For this reason, the series - concept books, relations and correspondences - were placed in front of the holdings when organizing the holdings. At the end of the factual exercises, the inputs and uses follow. They were taken over unchanged by indices because of their good development and extended by two additional tufts, so that they now make up more than a third of the stock. This can be explained by the research connected with the decline of the Cape Regiment. As a valuable supplement to the new indexing, reference is expressly made to the fully preserved registry aids. Until the introduction of the business diaries in September 1814, the events were recorded on the fascicle envelopes. The envelopes now form, exclusively III (Bü 126) and IV (Bü 129) Büschel 85, the following business daysÜbücher (1814 - 1848) Büschel 86. The previously valid archive signatures E 70 Verz. 42 and 43 with subsequent Büschel or Faszikelnummer were included in the data fields Vorsignaturen. The files of the Württemberg legation in The Hague cover the period 1787 - 1851. They document in a special way the consequences of the subsidy agreement concluded in the 18th century with the Dutch East Indian Company and the relationship between two states whose courts were related to each other. Further documents of the same subject which have grown up with other Württemberg authorities can be found in the Main State Archives mainly in the holdings A 33 Württembergisches Kapregiment and A 117 Netherlands. The stock now comprises 219 tufts in 4.1 linear metres. It was recorded and ordered by Walter Wannenwetsch from February to April 1976 as part of the training under the guidance of Oberarchivrat Dr. Cordes.Stuttgart 1976gez. Walter Wannenwetsch The completion of the present finding aid was carried out with the help of data processing on the basis of the MIDOSA program package of the State Archive Administration of Baden-Württemberg in the period from January to May 1988. At the same time as the inclusion of the title, the index terms were recorded, with a view to a later general index, separated into a place index, a person index and a subject index. The re-indexing as well as the input took place in the context of the training by the archive inspectors Corinna Pfisterer and Regina Keyler under guidance of the undersigned.

Preliminary remark 1976: Already in 1807 King Friedrich had the intention to establish a Württemberg legation in Darmstadt due to the close relationship to the Grand Duchy of Hesse established by the Confederation of the Rhine and in an effort to deepen the friendly relations of the sovereigns. However, the position was not filled until 1818, with general justification. From 1825 it remained vacant until 1852, at the suggestion of the Grand Duke, envoys were exchanged again. Even after the foundation of the Reich in 1871, official diplomatic relations were maintained. The Württemberg representatives at the Darmstadt court were generally certified as envoys at the Bundestag in Frankfurt and at the Kurhessischer court in Kassel, with headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, until 1866, as envoys in Baden, with headquarters in Karlsruhe, from 1867 to 1872, and as envoys in Baden and Bavaria, with headquarters in Munich, from 1873. Until 1866, in the absence of the envoy, the Württemberg representative of the association at the Hessian customs office in Darmstadt was regarded as the official representative of his state.The representatives of Württemberg were:Karl August Freiherr von Wangenheim, Privy Council, Minister of State, extraordinary envoy and authorized minister, November 1818 - November 1823 Freiherr von Blomberg, Privy Legation Council, resident of the Free City of Frankfurt, chargé d'affaires, December 1820, December 1823 - June 1825 by Reinhard, Council of State, extraordinary envoy and authorized minister, November 1852 - November 1865 Freiherr von Linden, Minister of State, extraordinary envoy and authorized minister, December 1865 - September 1866 Oskar Freiherr von Soden, Chamberlain, Legation Councillor, Carrier, January 1867 - October 1868 von Baur-Breitenfeld, Chamberlain, Legation Councillor, Carrier, November 1868 - November 1872 Oskar Freiherr von Soden, Chamberlain, Privy Council, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary Minister, May 1873 - May 1906 Karl Moser von Filseck, Chamberlain, Privy Legation Council, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary Minister, June 1906 - 1920.The envoy had mainly formal tasks to fulfill and those of representation, since facts between Württemberg and Hessian authorities were usually conducted directly, not through the envoy. He was usually invited to Darmstadt once or twice a year on the occasion of court festivities. Correspondence, after 1873 between 50 and 70 diary numbers per year, was therefore largely limited to the provision of congratulations, the sending of official printed matter, some enquiries and occasional reporting. When these tasks were almost completely abolished with the end of the monarchy, the activities of the envoy ceased in 1920, and the representation in Hesse was therefore only a secondary function. The small amount of written material was initially incorporated into the registry of the Bundestag legation. Only in 1852 did a separate file under the file number H I (= Hessen I) begin. The tradition of the years 1852 - 1866 arrived in the archive around 1869 with the Bundestag legation about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and became in the today's stock German Federation under the signature E 65 Verz. 57 Fasz. 414 in custody. The documents from the Karlsruhe period were delivered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before 1910 with other mixed files and in this association under the signature E 36 Verz. 58 Fasz. 39 No. 86 left. The files that had grown up since 1873 were probably handed over to the archives in 1933 together with the registry of the Embassy in Bavaria and incorporated into the holdings under the signature E 73 Verz. 61 Bü 20b (1873 - 1895), Bü 20c (1896 - 1905) and 20d (1905 - 1920). These parts were removed from their previous context in 1977 - 1979, listed and reorganized as correspondent and fact files according to the scheme used for other legations. This work was supervised by Udo Herkert (54 Bü in 0.1 running m., i.e. the years up to 1866), by Edgar Lersch (32 Bü in 0.05 running m.) and by Udo Herkert (54 Bü in 0.1 running m., i.e. the years up to 1866), the State Archives student Edgar Lersch (32 Bü in 0.05 running m.), The inventory provides an approximate picture of the official activity of the envoy for the years 1852 - 1920 under the aforementioned restrictions. There are narrow limits to the scientific usability, since only the correspondence of the court marshal of Westerweller with the envoy of Soden has a certain weight of its own. The parallel tradition on the Württemberg side is found mainly in the holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The relevant Hessian written material should be kept by the State Archives Darmstadt. 239 Bü in 0.6 m. Stuttgart 1978gez. G.

Preliminary remark in 1977: After the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, the Württemberg envoy in Kassel was also accredited at the court of the Grand Duke of Frankfurt from 30 September 1810. During the absence of the Westphalian king, the envoy could leave Kassel and go to the court in Frankfurt or Aschaffenburg, where the Prince Primate and Grand Duke Karl von Dalberg mostly resided. With the end of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt in October 1813, the mission of the Württemberg envoy also expired. The representatives of Württemberg in Frankfurt were: Baron von Gemmingen, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary Minister, 30 September 1810 - 13 March 1813 Baron Friedrich August Gremp von Freudenstein, Chamberlain, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary Minister, 6 May 1813 - 5 May 1813. October 1813Besides the envoy accredited to the court in Frankfurt, the former resident of Plitt, as Privy Legation Councillor, was still in the service of Württemberg, wrote, without being certified, reports on the legations and carried out individual orders of the Württemberg court. After the takeover of the files by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they were transferred with documents from the Ministry to the archive, where they were attached to the mixed holdings of E 70 "Gesandtschaftsakten". During the reorganization, the files were separated according to their provenance without regard to the previous state of order. Afterwards only a small remainder remained, which was arranged according to the scheme of the remaining legation holdings. The previously valid archive signatures E 70 Verz. 39 Fasz. 1-3 were included as presignatures with the abbreviation "Fasz". Further documents of the same subject can be found in the files of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The holdings were recorded in October 1975 as part of the training under the guidance of Senior State Archives Councilor Dr. Cordes von Walter Wannenwetsch and finally arranged in May 1977.

Preliminary remark: The Württemberg legation in Paris was established during the final phase of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in 1801, following the rapprochement of Württemberg to Napoleon, and existed until the outbreak of the Franco-German war of 1870/71. In the 1950s and 1960s, additional Württemberg consulates were established in Marseille, Lyon, Paris, Nice, Algiers (then French West Africa) and Mulhouse in Alsace. The records of the consulate Mühlhausen are in stock E 70 v.The records were recorded by Robert Uhland in 1949 and 1950 in a typewritten repertory, whereby already a separation from the legation files developed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took place concerning the legation in Paris (today stock E 50/12). In connection with a packaging measure, the large fascicles formed by Uhland were re-divided and the numerous slash numbers were replaced in favour of renumbering, which dispensed with the separation of tufts and (diary) volumes. in the course of work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the finding aid was transferred from the undersigned to the new finding aid system Midosa21 with the aid of OCR technology and the Scope Acceptance Assistant, and some of the title recordings were revised.

History of the Württemberg legation in Munich: From time to time since 1742, Württemberg has maintained an envoy at the Bavarian court in Munich. The legation did not become a permanent institution until 1804, shortly after Württemberg was elevated to electorate. In contrast to most other Württemberg legations, the legation in Munich continued uninterrupted until 1933. Since 1893, the Württemberg envoy in Munich had also been accredited for Karlsruhe and Darmstadt.The Württemberg representatives in Bavaria were in detail:Ferdinand Reinhard von Wallbrunn1742Christoph Konrad Abel1780 - 1790Albrecht Jakob von Bühler1792Ulrich Leberecht von Mandelslohe1792Karl Heinrich Ernst Freiherr von Bothmer1804 - 1807Friedrich August Freiherr Gremp von Freudenstein1807, interimistChristian Friedrich Kölle1807 - 1808Heinrich Karl Friedrich Levin Count of Wintzingerode1808 - 1810Christoph Ermann Baron von Steube zu Schadnitz1810 - 1815Friedrich August Baron Gremp von Freudenstein1815 - 1816Peter Count of Gallatin1816 - 1817Friedrich August Freiherr Gremp von Freudenstein1817 - 1821Moritz Joseph Philipp Freiherr von Schmitz-Grollenburg1821 - 1844Gottfried Jonathan von Hartmann1825, InterimFerdinand Christoph Graf von Degenfeld-Schomburg1844 - 1868Oskar Freiherr von Soden1868 - 1906Friedrich Rudolf Karl Moser von Filseck1906 - 1909Karl Moser von Filseck1906 - 1918The documents of the Württemberg envoys in Munich from the time before 1806 are kept in the holdings A 74 h. The counter tradition of the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerning the Württemberg legation in Munich is in inventory E 50/05. Destruction of files 1867: In March 1867, the Württemberg envoy in Munich, von Degenfeld, was permitted at his request to sell certain files of the legation, for which there was not enough space in the registry, for the purpose of stamping them. He then, on the advice of the Chief Mint Master of Haidt, had them burned in his smelting furnace in the presence of a reliable employee of the legation. a special list of the banished files was not drawn up, as Degenfeld described them in the meticulously kept list of files of the legation. Among the documents destroyed were: Political Reports1844 - 1853 Federal Affairs1821 - 1856, 1854 - 1866 Railway, Post and Telegraph1836 - 1856 Customs Union1831 - 1861 Coinage and Paper Money1837 - 1853 Gesandtschaftliches Personal1804 - 1856 Württembergische und bayerische königliche Höfe1850 - 1863 Switzerland1834 - 1853 (political reports1844 - 1853 Federal Affairs1821 - 1856, 1854 - 1866 Railway, Post and Telegraph1836 - 1856 customs union1831 - 1861 coins and paper money1837 - 1853 Gesandtschaftliches Personal1804 - 1856Württembergische und bayerische königliche Höfe1850 - 1863 Switzerland1834 - 1853 (political reports1844 - 1853).), 1833 - 1851 (Handel)Privatangelegenheiten1832 - 1860 Further history of the collection, report by the editor: Since about 1870, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly submitted documents that were no longer needed to the Württemberg House and State Archives. After the end of the Monarchiv and the dissolution of this ministry in 1920, the remaining legations and consulates of Württemberg were subordinated to the State Ministry. In the summer of 1950, Dr. Max Straub separated the ministerial and legation files for the Munich legation and rearranged the provenance holdings of the legation. The collection was packaged in 1966, and Max Straub's comparatively legible handwritten repertory is still in use. However, in connection with the development project on the holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the intended complete creation of online finding aids of this series, the present holdings were retro-converted, which was carried out by Silvia Ebinger in 2005. A slight revision of the title recordings was made by Dr. Albrecht Ernst.Stuttgart, in April 2007Johannes Renz

1st history of the Württemberg legation in Berlin: There was a Württemberg legation in Berlin from the 18th century until 1933. Until 1870/71, she was responsible for Württemberg's relations with the Kingdom of Prussia, then also with the German Empire, and the Württemberg envoys in Berlin were, among other things: Johannes Nathanael Freiherr von Schunckum 1720Friedrich Graf von Seckendorfum 1730 - 1733Johann Eberhard Georgii1741 - 1744Christoph Dietrich von Keller1744 - 1749Gottfried von Hochstetterum 1751 - 1757Tobias Faudel (Resident)about 1793/94Reckert (Resident)about 1795Christoph von Seckendorfum 1799Ferdinand Friedrich Freiherr von Nicolaium 1800/01August Friedrich Batz1801 - 1803Gustav Heinrich Freiherr von Mylius 1803 - October 1806Hermann Freiherr von Wimpffen July 1807- ?Carl Philipp von Kaufmann, Legation Councillor January 1811 - February 1813Friedrich Wilhelm Carl Freiherr von Scheeler July 1814 - May 1815Franz Joseph Freiherr von Linden, Legation Secretary May - November 1815August von Neuffer December 1815 - May 1816Franz Joseph Freiherr von Linden, Legation Secretary May - July 1816Gottfried Jonathan von Harttmann, Legation Secretary October 1816 - January 1817Friedrich Freiherr von Phull, Lieutenant General January 1817 - 1820Ulrich Leberecht Graf von Mandelsloh (interim) July - September 1820Karl Friedrich Wagner, Legation Councillor 1821, 1823 - 1824Georg Ernst Levin Graf von Wintzingerode 1820 - 1825Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Bismark 1825 - 1844August von Blomberg, Legation Councillor 1826 - 1829Franz à Paula Freiherr von Linden, Legation Council 1830 - 1844Julius Baron von Maucler 1844 - 1845Ludwig von Reinhardt 1846 - 1850Carl Eugen Baron von Hügel 1850 - 1852Franz à Paula Baron von Linden 1852 - 1866Friedrich Heinrich Karl Baron Hugo von Spitzemberg 1866 - 1880Fidel von Baur-Breitenfeld 1881 - 1886Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin 1887 - 1889Rudolf Friedrich Karl von Moser 1890 - 1893Theodor Axel Freiherr von Varnbüler 1894 - 1918Karl Hildenbrand 1918 - 1924Otto Bosler1924 - 1933 (1934) : Since the foundation of the Reich in 1871, the Württemberg envoys in Berlin have also acted as plenipotentiaries to the Bundesrat. Since the end of the 19th century, the legation was located at Voßstraße 10. The legation building was erected by government councillor Georg Wilhelm von Mörner. After the end of the legation in 1933, the building was bought up by the Reich in 1937 and demolished one year later, as the new Reich Chancellery was planned at this location. the ministerial counterpart to stock E 74 until the end of the monarchy in Germany in 1918 is in stock E 50/03, further documents concerning the Württemberg legation in Berlin for the time before 1806 in the stocks A 16 a, A 74 c and the time after 1918 in the stocks of the Württemberg State Ministry (E 130 a-c). 2nd inventory history and processing report: The documents of the present inventory were handed over to the former Württemberg State Archive Stuttgart in 1932. Another delivery received in 1937 was burnt during the Second World War. The largest part of the documents contains federal affairs of the German Reich, in which the Württemberg envoy was involved as an authorized representative of the Bundesrat. Particularly noteworthy are documents on the regulation of tax legislation between the German Reich and the federal states, on the war economy during the First World War, but also on economic supply in the post-war period. Particularly in the field of food supply, there is a substitute tradition for the documents of the Württemberg Ministry of Food destroyed in the Second World War. Many of the more recent documents contain large amounts of Reichstag and Bundesrat printed matter, but due to correspondence with Württemberg authorities they are not to be regarded as a double tradition of the files of the institutions of the German Reich kept in the Federal Archives.In the years 2008 - 2009 the documents were made accessible by the archive officers René Hanke, Mathias Kunz and Andreas Neuburger, the archive inspectors Wolfram Berner, Sylvia Güntheroth, Antje Hauschild and Stephanie Kurrle as well as the interns Christa Ackermann and Fabian Fechner under the guidance of the undersigned, some parts were also made accessible by the undersigned himself. Rudolf Bezold was responsible for the subsequent archiving of the documents. The total volume of the stock comprises 40 volumes and 958 tufts in the volume of 34.3 linear metres of shelving.Stuttgart, in October 2011Johannes Renz b) nationality mark: A]Austria [BY]Belarus [CH]Switzerland [CHN]People's Republic of China [CZ]Czech Republic [E]Spain [EAT]Tanzania [F]France [I]Italy [NAM]Namibia [P]Portugal [PL]Poland [RT]Togo [RUS]Russia [TR]Turkey [UA]Ukraine

Preliminary remark: The legation of Württemberg at the Baden court, which existed before 1806, was retained after Württemberg was elevated to a kingdom and was occupied until 1848 by an envoy residing in Karlsruhe. During the revolutionary period, Württemberg was represented only temporarily by an official observer in Karlsruhe, since the resumption of relations in 1851 by a chargé d'affaires, until after the establishment of the German Reich in 1871 the legation was lifted. It was rebuilt in 1893 mainly for reasons of courtly representation. Until its final abolition on April 1, 1933, the Württemberg envoy at the Bavarian court, who was also accredited in Darmstadt, was also an envoy in Karlsruhe with headquarters in Munich. The representatives of Württemberg were in Baden:Carl August Ludwig Graf von Taube, Chief Postal Director, Privy Legation Council, Chamberlain, Extraordinary Plenipotentiary Minister (appointed 1806)Heinrich Levin Graf von Wintzingerode, District Governor of Öhringen, Chamberlain, Extraordinary Plenipotentiary Minister (1807)von Wimpfen, Major General, Chamberlain, Extraordinary Plenipotentiary Minister (1811)von Harmensen, Privy Council, Chamberlain, Extraordinary Plenipotentiary Minister (1812)Peter Graf von Gallatin, Privy Legation Council, Chamberlain, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary Minister (1812)Friedrich August Freiherr Gremp von Freudenstein, State Council, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary Minister (1817)Graf von Mülinen, Privy Legation Council, Chamberlain, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary Minister (1818)Graf von Bismarck, Lieutenant General, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary (1820) August Freiherr von Wächter, Privy Legation Council, Chargé d'Affaires (1847)Freiherr von Thumb-Neuburg, Legation Council, Chamberlain, Carrier (1851)Oskar Freiherr von Soden, Legation Council, Chamberlain, Carrier (1866)von Baur-Breitenfeld, Legation Council, Chamberlain, Carrier (1868)Oskar Freiherr von Soden, Privy Council, Chamberlain, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary Minister (1893)Karl Moser von Filseck, Privy Legation Council, Chamberlain, Extraordinary Minister and Plenipotentiary Minister (1906)Until 1871, the Minister represented Württemberg in all matters arising in relation to Baden, only for special reasons were negotiations in Karlsruhe not conducted by the Minister, but by special representatives. The volume of work was relatively high and varied in the initial period up to about 1820 - this becomes clear, for example, in the territorial negotiations at that time or in the large number of uses in private affairs - and then fell noticeably, so that envoys von Bismarck could be called upon several times for special missions to northern German courts. After 1850 the mutual consultations between the Württemberg and Baden governments on issues of major European and German policy as well as the internal problems of both countries intensified. In addition, the increased administrative intensity and urgent questions of economic legislation were now also reflected in the business volume of the legation. After the reestablishment in 1893, the envoy was given almost exclusively formal tasks and those of representation. As a rule, he spent a few days in Karlsruhe once or twice a year, usually on the occasion of the court ball or another court event. Negotiations between Württemberg and Baden authorities were usually conducted directly, no longer via the envoy, so that his correspondence - about 100 diary numbers per year - was largely limited to the transmission of congratulations, inquiries and official correspondence and occasional indirect reporting. With the end of the monarchy, these tasks were almost completely eliminated. However, the legation was formally retained and from 1926 on again entrusted with smaller commissions, such as reporting in Baden newspapers. The tradition is not homogeneous. In the first years individual case files predominate, from about 1815/1820 - as with other Württemberg legations - a purely formal classification principle, such as "concepts and reports" or "rescripts and notes" and correspondence files. Mainly new business areas were filed after 1850 by subject, such as "railway files". But it did not come to a continuous registry management, since the new fascicles were put on as required and, provided with a sequential Arabic number, were attached to the already existing files at the end. In this way, the registry consisted of 72 in 1848, 104 in 1866 and dates back to 1818. From 1893 - 1933 the entire written material was filed only according to the chronological order. The content of the written material is also very unequal. Some envoys took part of the processes, so their instruction, to their private files. A number of events only appear in the diary, as they were passed on in original form without additional documents being gathered in the legation. After 1893, for parallel enquiries to Bavaria, Baden and Hesse, often only one joint draft was produced and filed with the Bavarian registry. Some things seem to have been lost or destroyed, for example when the passport register only covers the period from 1811 to 1816. as far as can still be seen, the present collection was archived in four deliveries together with documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other legations and was added to the collection of "Legation Files" (E 70 and E 73). The documents summarised in inventory E 70 Verzeichnis (Ablieferung) 32 covered the period up to 1817, those of inventory E 70 Verzeichnis 33a the period from 1818 - 1871 and arrived after 1872. The material grown up in Munich was delivered until the year 1910 around 1920, the rest was probably incorporated immediately after the abolition of the legation in 1933 and the stock E 73 Verzeichnis 61. The reorganization could orient itself only little at the given condition. The archival records that had grown up at the legation were separated from the rest of the association and the provenance holdings "Württembergische Gesandtschaft in Baden" were newly formed. The originally planned division into two main parts, "I. 1806 - 1871" and "II. 1893 - 1933", was cancelled when the finding aid book was drawn up and all title entries were subordinated to the classification scheme prescribed by the distortion of other legations. Among them are the reports to the King or the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the general, not thematically limited correspondences with him, among others the first main group. The other files were separated according to their different subjects without regard to the previous state of order, and each of them was re-compiled into the other main groups. The breakdown of these was based on the total business volume. It was not advisable to align the plans with those of other legations, such as Berlin or Munich, which had been preserved. Certain inequalities in the distortion have remained in so far as some subjects, such as "German Question" etc., have been left out, Despite their complexity, a further subdivision was not permitted, whereas on the other hand after 1893 only individual cases still occur or until 1850 almost all affairs of private persons were classified under "Uses", but afterwards also under the subject headings such as "Reporting", "Justice - Individual Cases" and others.In the present finding aid book the indication of the registry signatures, i.e. the tuft counting with Arabic numerals, was omitted for the documents up to 1871, since they could be determined only partly without difficulties and references to these numbers are found only imperfectly in the last diaries before 1871. The previously valid archive signatures E 70 Verzeichnis 32 Faszikel 1-9 and E 70 Verzeichnis 33a Faszikel 1-33 were, however, noted in the title entries. Various old tuft numbers had to be applied when a new tuft was composed entirely or partially of old tufts. For the files from 1893 - 1933 the indication of the old archive signature could be omitted, since with the previous purely chronological storage - apart from isolated fact file beginnings - the written material from 1893 - 1899 was united in E 73 directory 61 fascicles 18 d, from 1900 - 1905 in 18 e, from 1906 - 1913 in 18 b and from 1914 - 1933 in 18 c.As diverse as the content of the title recordings may be, there are clear limits to their scientific evaluation: the continuous reporting to the king up to 1847 forms a closed whole, the other correspondence only covers partial aspects. The same often applies to the fact files, especially if minutes, excerpts or replies to enquiries were forwarded in original form. Parallel transmission is therefore of greater importance. On the Württemberg side, the holdings of the superior Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the State Ministry are to be mentioned primarily in the Main State Archives, on the Baden side in the General State Archives Karlsruhe the departments 47 - 49 Haus- und Staatsarchiv - II. The inventory was recorded and arranged by the signatory 1974 - 1976 with the temporary cooperation of the aspiring inspectors Bader, Gutenkunst and Kramer and comprises 724 tufts in 6.1 m. Stuttgart 1976gez. G. CordesThe completion of the present finding aid book took place with the help of the data processing on the basis of the program package MIDOSA of the national archive administration Baden-Wuerttemberg in the time from May to August 1987. For the various technical assistance is to be thanked the national archive management. The title recordings present on index cards were entered without substantial changes over screen into the system. At the same time as the inclusion of the title, the index terms were recorded, with a view to a later general index, broken down into a geographical index, a person index and a subject index. The MIDETIT method separates the indices on the basis of corresponding control characters. A concordance was not created for the following reasons: The dissolution of the old serial files and the subsequent creation of material files resulted in the fact that the archives of a former bundle are today located at up to 121 different sites. This basically calls into question the practicability of a concordance that could only have been achieved with unjustifiable effort. The relations, reports and rescripts found in Büschel 34 during the indexing of the holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, E 36-38, Verz. 2, were subsequently added to the holdings, and the title entries were included in the present find book. These title entries with the respective serial number and the suffix a are included in the index.Stuttgart, December 1987Kurt Hochstuhl

The Württemberg Embassy in Switzerland was established in the first half of 1807 in connection with the conclusion of a trade agreement between Württemberg and Switzerland. After the recall of the envoy in 1817 it remained unoccupied(1). It was not until 1865, again in the course of a trade agreement, that it was re-established and existed until a large part of Württemberg foreign policy was transferred to the Reich in 1871(2). Württemberg envoys in Switzerland were: Johann Baptist Martin Edler Arand von Ackerfeld, Legation Council (June 1807-Jan. 1812) August Friedrich von Batz (Febr. 1812-Jan. 1814) Carl Philipp von Kaufmann, Privy Legation Councillor (Jan. 1814-Dec. 1817) Friedrich Heinrich Karl Freiherr Hugo von Spitzemberg (1865-Oct. 1866) Maximilian Adolf Freiherr von Ow, Privy Legation Councillor and Chamberlain (Oct. 1866-July 1871). The envoy of Ow proposed in 1866 the establishment of a consulate in Bern, whose consul was to represent him during his stays in Florence as an envoy in Italy and "take care of the current business, unless it requires special diplomatic treatment", for example passport matters; this was approved by King Charles in November 1866, consul in Bern became the merchant Albert Rooschütz (Nov. 1866-May 1873). In the absence of the envoy, his registry was kept and continued by the consul, also from 1871 until the dissolution of the consulate in 1873(3). The seat of the envoy was presumably Zurich until December 1816, and then permanently Bern(4). In 1865-1871 the legation and the consulate were located in the same building, probably in the house Hirschengraben 171, where the envoy lived(5). The files of the first registration layer (1807-1817) were probably sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs soon after the envoy was recalled. In the "Archive Register" of 1873(6), only the files of the second layer (1865-1873) are listed; these came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1877. The delivery to the Staatsfilialarchiv and classification into the later holdings E 70 under directory numbers 52 and 52 a (for the first or second registration layer, with overlaps) probably took place before 1896, since the files of directory 53 were already there at that time(7). The State Archives presumably received the holdings together with other diplomatic files and holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1901(8). The lists of singles are kept in holdings E 61 x volume 35 and 37. The corresponding counter-files from the registry of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are to be found in holdings E 50/16 (Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerning the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). In the first registration layer, correspondence series predominate, especially for relations (diplomatic reports to the king); documents on international treaties were created as fact files. In the second registration layer, both subject files and subject series were formed, and finally both registration layers contain individual case files on subjects' affairs.the categories I-III of the second registration layer were recorded in 1971 by archive assistant Herwig John, the processors of the remaining files could no longer be determined.the old registration signature of the "archive register" serving as an order criterion is listed as pre-signature 1, the old archive signature as pre-signature 2.The stock E 70 v comprises 110 tufts (1.8 running m).Stuttgart, in May 2000 Hartmut Obst(1) cf.

Preliminary remark: After the establishment of a Württemberg consulate in Nuremberg had already been suggested in 1871, in 1905 at the king's request "for the protection of the commercial interests of our state in the city of Nuremberg in general as well as in relation to individual matters of our subjects" Julius Pabst, chemist, part-owner of the paint factory Pabst und Lambrecht, Nuremberg, 1st chairman of the Nuremberg department of the Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft, 28.6.1905-24.3.1922 was appointed as Württemberg's representative in Nuremberg. Since the consulate did not acquire any further significance, however, the consulate was not reoccupied after Pabst's death. 1923, the city of Nuremberg handed over the documents that had grown up at the consulate to the Ministry of State, which probably forwarded them to the archive in the same year, together with files from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The documents remained in this association under the signature E 4 Verz. 2 Bü 765, but in March 1977 they were extracted in accordance with their provenance and recorded as part of the training of Rolf Jente, a prospective inspector, and finally arranged by Oberstaatsarchivrat Dr. Cordes in accordance with the structure of other legate and consulate holdings. The present material ranges from 1905-1920 and is of some interest especially in view of the conditions in Nuremberg during the First World War and the efforts of the Consul to promote cultural institutions in Württemberg. The holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, since 1920, of the Ministry of State also include 33 tufts in 0.1 m. Stuttgart 1977gez. G. Cordes

1st biographies: The GU 119 holdings essentially comprise documents from the estate of the Wiltrud Princess of Bavaria, Duchess of Urach. The collection also includes partial estates and fragments of estates of relatives of Princess Wiltrud, especially from the House of Bavaria (Wittelsbach). Specifically, these are the estate documents of the parents of Princess Wiltrud, King Ludwig III and Queen Marie Therese of Bavaria (née Archduchess of Austria-Este Princess Modena), Aunt Wiltrud, Princess Therese of Bavaria, and the grandparents of Wiltrud, Luitpold Prinzregent and Auguste Ferdinande Princess of Bavaria (née Archduchess of Austria-Tuscany). In the following, the biographies of the personalities represented in the GU 119 inventory, of whom there are partial estates, are briefly discussed. 1.1 Wiltrud Duchess of Urach (née Princess of Bavaria)Wiltrud Marie Alix Princess of Bavaria was born on 10 November 1884 in Munich as the tenth of thirteen children of Ludwig Prince of Bavaria, later Prince Regent and King Ludwig III of Bavaria, and Marie Therese Princess of Bavaria. Only a few documents on the childhood and youth of Princess Wiltrud can be found in the present inventory (subcategory 1.1.1), so that only little information can be given about this period. Accordingly, Princess Wiltrud and her siblings were taught by house teachers. The mother Princess Marie Therese also took care of the upbringing of the children and until Prince Ludwig took office she had hardly any representative duties to fulfil. Prince Ludwig's family lived mainly in Schloss Leutstetten near Lake Starnberg. A large estate belonged to Leutstetten Castle, which belonged to Prince Ludwig's private estate and which he developed into an agricultural model estate. When Prince Ludwig succeeded Prince Regent Luitpold after the death of his father Prince Regent Luitpold in 1912, his wife Princess Marie Therese and his daughter Princess Wiltrud also had to take on more and more representative tasks, about which the information in the present holdings in the category 1.During the First World War Princess Wiltrud supported her mother in her extensive charitable activities. Together with her mother, her sisters and their court ladies she packed gift packages (so-called "Liebesgaben") for the Bavarian soldiers, non-commissioned officers and officers at the front, in which ham, chocolate, canned goods and partly also laundry were packed (cf. subcategories 1.9.1 and 1.9.2). Friends of the royal family from Sárvár (Hungary), where Queen Marie Therese owned a large estate, and from Sulden (South Tyrol), where the royal family often went on mountain tours, also benefited from these gift packages. The recipients of these coveted "gifts of love" often thanked Princess Wiltrud with field letters, sometimes extensive reports on war events and photographs of the front and the occupied territories. These partly quite descriptive materials have been preserved in subcategories 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 of the present inventory. In addition, Princess Wiltrud and her mother visited hospitals and hospitals and gave comfort to the soldiers and officers of the Bavarian army who were lying there. Finally, Princess Wiltrud also worked temporarily in the "war sewing room" set up by her mother in the Nibelungensälen of the Munich Residenz, where 600 to 800 seamstresses and knitters worked. The "Kriegsnähstube" provided the Bavarian troops moving into the field with laundry quickly and unbureaucratically. When in November 1918 the social democratic politician Kurt Eisner proclaimed the republic in Munich, the royal family left Munich and initially withdrew to Schloss Wildenwart. The end of the monarchy in Bavaria was a decisive turning point for Princess Wiltrud and the other members of the House of Bavaria. Princess Wiltrud, like all representatives of the German princely houses, lost her privileges. Princess Wiltrud first lived at Wildenwart Castle until her marriage and on 25 November 1924 Wiltrud Princess of Bavaria married Wilhelm (II) Duke of Urach in Munich. On the following day the church wedding took place, also in Munich. The marriage remained childless. After her marriage, Duchess Wiltrud lived alternately at Schloss Lichtenstein and Palais Urach in Stuttgart. When her husband died in 1928, Duchess Wiltrud also took over the care of the youngest children of Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach from his marriage to Amalie Herzogin von Urach (née Duchess of Bavaria). In the 1930s, Duchess Wiltrud moved to the former royal hunting lodge in Oberstdorf, which she had inherited from her father's estate and which she had renovated especially for this purpose. At times Duchess Wiltrud also visited Schloss Lichtenstein and Schloss Wildenwart. Duchess Wiltrud showed an interest in music, fine arts, history and botany, which can be seen in the printed matter and materials preserved in this collection. In addition, she undertook several voyages, including a longer voyage by ship on the "Monte Rosa" in 1935 to Brazil, Senegal and Morocco. From 1901 to 1903 she travelled the Balkans with her mother and younger sisters. During this time she also made a boat trip on the Adriatic with her mother, her younger sisters and Karl Stephan Archduke of Austria, about which she also wrote a travel diary, which was published in excerpts in a magazine. A copy of this journal can be found in Bü 719. She also wrote articles about a trip to the Arlberg (Austria) in magazines (Bü 719). In addition, she frequently travelled to visit her stepchildren, her siblings and their families, and the other relatives, which is not least reflected in the extensive correspondence preserved in this collection. In addition to the aforementioned travel descriptions, Duchess Wiltrud also published poems in magazines and calendars under her name (Bü 842). Like many members of the House of Bavaria, Duchess Wiltrud was deeply religious and had received a strictly Catholic education. The Duchess also maintained close contact with Catholic clergy and nuns, as can be seen from her correspondence with them (especially Bü 249 and 250). Not least the memberships of Duchess Wiltrud in religious associations, brotherhoods and congregations, which are documented in Bü 731, and the multitude of religious publications and the collection of material in the sub-categories 1.11.1 and 1.18.3 bear witness to the religiousness of the Duchess.Wiltrud Princess of Bavaria died on 28 March 1975 in Oberstdorf. She was buried in the cemetery of Großengstingen near Reutlingen. 1.2 Therese Princess of BavariaTherese Charlotte Marianne Auguste Princess of Bavaria was born on 12 November 1850 as the third of four children and sole daughter of Luitpold Prince of Bavaria, later to become Prince Regent of Bavaria, and Auguste Ferdinande Princess of Bavaria (née Archduchess of Austria-Tuscany).Together with her brothers Ludwig, who was later to rule Bavaria as Prince Regent and King Ludwig III, Leopold and Arnulf, she was taught by her mother and not by house teachers, as was customary in princely houses at the time. As an adult, she spoke twelve languages. In addition to her talent for languages, the princess developed a keen interest in the natural sciences and the geography and culture of foreign countries at an early age. Since she was denied university studies as a woman, Princess Therese acquired her extensive scientific knowledge through self-study. The princess acquired considerable expertise in geography, ethnology, botany and zoology - especially ornithology (ornithology) - and Princess Therese began her extensive travels as a young woman. Together with her brother Prince Leopold and his wife Gisela Princess of Bavaria (née Archduchess of Austria) she travelled North Africa, Spain, Portugal and France. Princess Therese almost always travelled incognito, often under the name of a "Countess Elpen", and with a small entourage. In 1898 she undertook an expedition of several months to South America, from which she brought a rich collection of zoological, botanical and ethnological material, including over 200 species of fish. These collections were later bequeathed to the Zoologische Staatssammlung München and the Münchner Völkerkundemuseum. Unfortunately, the collections were almost completely destroyed during the Second World War. Princess Therese discovered on her travels also previously unknown animal species, such as the catfish in Colombia, a longhorn beetle in Ecuador and a singing chirp in Trinidad. On her travels to South America, she also explored several Indian tribes in the Amazon region that were unknown to date in European scientific circles. In 1893 Princess Therese travelled North America, where she was particularly interested in the Plains Indians. In addition to ethnological and zoological studies, the princess also conducted botanical studies on her travels. The plants discovered by her in the process found their way into botanical literature with the addition of the name "theresiae". Princess Therese published scientific treatises and travelogues about her numerous journeys: In 1880 the article "A trip to Tunis" about her trip to North Africa was published. The experiences of her trip to Russia were included in the treatise "Travel Impressions and Sketches from Russia", which was published in 1895. The impressions of Princess Therese's travels to Central and South America were processed in the publications "On Mexican Lakes", "My Trip to the Brazilian Tropics", "On the Purpose and Editions of My Trip to South America in 1898", "Writings on a Trip to South America", "On a Trip to the West Indies and South America", "Some Words on Cultural Development in Pre-Spanish Peru" and "Travel Studies from Western South America", published between 1895 and 1908. About the Pueblo Indians she wrote in 1902 the essay "Einiges über die Pueblo-Indianer". Princess Therese published her first essays on her travels under the pseudonym "Th of Bavaria" in order to prevent her a priori being denied recognition as a woman by male experts. In addition to these publications, Princess Therese also documented her travels with the help of the then newly invented roll-film camera, of which only the most important were given to Princess Therese in the course of her life: On December 9, 1897, the princess was the first woman to receive an honorary doctorate from the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Munich "for her excellent knowledge of the natural sciences, proven by excellent books" ("propter insignem rerum naturalium scientiam praeclaris libris comprobatam"). In 1892 she became an honorary member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and the Geographic Society in Munich. In 1897 Princess Therese became a corresponding member of the Geographic Society in Lisbon and in 1898 an honorary member of the Geographic Society in Vienna. In 1908 Princess Therese received the Austro-Hungarian Medal of Honor for Science and Art. One year later she was awarded the title of "Officier de l'Instruction publique" by the French Ministry of Education. At the same time, Princess Therese became an honorary member of the Société des Américanistes de Paris, and after the death of her father, Prince Regent Luitpold, the Princess gave up her long journeys and dedicated herself to charitable and social projects and institutions for which she took over the protectorate. At the beginning of the First World War, she set up a hospital for the wounded in her "Villa Amsee" in Lindau. Pictures of this military hospital are available in Bü 986 and 1166 of this collection. Princess Therese, who was abbess of the Damenstift St. Anna in Munich, remained unmarried throughout her life. According to the relevant specialist literature, the princess fell in love at a young age with her cousin Prince Otto, who later became Otto König von Bayern, but who suffered from a mental illness and was therefore out of the question for marriage. Still in later years Princess Therese was interested in the state of health of her cousin King Otto, as the correspondence with Philipp Freiherr von Redwitz and Georg Freiherr von Stengel, the court marshals of King Otto, which is preserved in this collection, proves about the state of health of the king (subcategory 2.1.1.2, Bü 1105, 1107 and 1149). Princess Therese died on 19 September 1925 in Munich. She was buried in the Theatinerkirche in Munich. Princess Therese is remembered in Bavaria today by the "Therese-von-Bayern-Stiftung", founded in 1997 to promote women in science. The foundation supports habilitations and scientific projects of young academics and regularly awards the "Therese-von-Bayern-Preis". In 1997 a television documentary entitled "Princess Therese of Bavaria - Researcher, Collector, World Traveler" about the Princess was produced. Furthermore, in the same year H. Bußmann and E. Neukum-Fichtner the publication ""Ich bleiben ein Wesen eigener Art" - Princess Therese of Bavaria. Ludwig III, King of Bavaria-Ludwig Prince of Bavaria, the later King Ludwig III, was born in Munich on 7 January 1845 as the son of Luitpold Prince of Bavaria, the later Prince Regent, and Auguste Ferdinande Princess of Bavaria (née Archduchess of Austria-Tuscany), who was educated by house teachers, including the clergyman Karl Rinecker. From 1864 to 1865, the Prince studied philosophy, history, law, economics and art history at the University of Munich, without however obtaining a degree in the individual subjects. In the war of 1866 Ludwig served as lieutenant and orderly officer of his father Prince Luitpold. As the son of a subsequent prince, Prince Ludwig initially had no prospect of the Bavarian royal crown, since it passed to King Ludwig II and King Otto, the sons of Ludwig's uncle King Maximilian II and thus cousins of Prince Ludwig. Instead, however, Ludwig was entitled to the Greek royal throne because Ludwig's uncle Otto had no descendants. However, when King Otto had to leave Greece in 1862 due to a military revolt, Ludwig lost his prospects for the Greek royal throne, and on 20 February 1868 Prince Louis of Bavaria Marie Therese married Archduchess of Austria-Este Princess of Modena in Vienna. Prince Ludwig showed great interest in agriculture, veterinary medicine and technology. In 1868 he became Honorary President of the Central Committee of the Agricultural Association of Bavaria. The Leutstetten estate on Lake Starnberg, which he acquired in 1875, was converted by Ludwig into a model agricultural estate, which earned him the nickname "Millibauer" among the population. Finally, Prince Ludwig supported the expansion of the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal and the Bavarian Canal Association. Prince Ludwig was politically active in the Catholic Conservative Patriotic Party, the later Centre Party, for which he ran unsuccessfully in the 1871 Reichstag elections. In addition, the Prince was a member of the Reich Council, where he stood up for Bavarian interests and emphasized the interests of the individual states vis-à-vis the Reich. In the Imperial Council, Prince Ludwig also spoke out in favour of direct relative majority voting, which earned him great praise from August Bebel. Bebel said that if in Germany the Emperor were elected by the people from one of the ruling princely houses, then Prince Ludwig would have the best prospects of becoming German Emperor. In the years after 1900 Ludwig also frequently performed representational duties for his father Prinzregent Luitpold. When Prince Regent Luitpold died in 1912, Prince Ludwig succeeded him as Prince Regent of Bavaria in December. Right at the beginning of Prince Ludwig's reign, there were discussions in Bavaria about the royal question. The Centre Party and the Bavarian Prime Minister Georg von Hertling spoke out in favour of transforming the regency into a royalty and thus in favour of deposing Otto, who was a minor due to mental illness. After hard political conflicts and a constitutional amendment, Otto König von Bayern was finally declared deposed, and Prince Regent Ludwig was able to ascend the Bavarian throne as King Ludwig III on 5 November 1913. During the First World War, Ludwig III was commander-in-chief of the Bavarian troops and from 1915 also Prussian Field Marshal, the latter function being limited exclusively to representative tasks. At the beginning of the war Ludwig hoped to be able to extend the Bavarian Palatinate by parts of Alsace. On November 2, 1918, Ludwig announced the establishment of a parliamentary system of government in Bavaria. However, Ludwig could no longer install a new state government with the participation of the majority Social Democrats (MSPD), as he had already been dismissed by the Social Democratic politician Kurt Eisner on November 7, 1918. From Wildenwart Castle he went to Anif Castle near Salzburg, where he issued a declaration on 13 November exempting the officials, officers and soldiers in Bavaria from the oath of allegiance. King Ludwig III continued to refuse to abdicate formally and to renounce his claims to the throne, living temporarily in Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Wildenwart Castle after the introduction of the republic in Bavaria. The king also stayed in Sárvár (Hungary), where he died on 18 October 1921. Ludwig III and his wife Marie Therese Queen of Bavaria, who had already died on February 3, 1919, found their final resting place in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Munich. The eulogy at the funeral ceremony on November 5, 1921, was given by Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber, Archbishop of Munich-Freising. A printed version of the speech can be found in Bü 839 of this collection; illustrations of the funeral are available in Bü 934 and 1170. Ludwig's heart was buried in the Chapel of Grace in Altötting, in accordance with the tradition of the Bavarian royal house (cf. the illustrations in Bü 1087). 1.4 Marie Therese Princess of Bavaria (née Archduchess of Austria-Este Princess of Modena)Marie (Maria) Therese Henriette Dorothea Archduchess of Austria-Este Princess of Modena was born on the 2nd of January in Modena. Born in July 1849 in Brno as the only child of Ferdinand Archduke of Austria-Este Prince of Modena and Elisabeth Archduchess of Austria-Este Princess of Modena (née Archduchess of Austria), her father died of typhoid fever in Brno on 15 December 1849, just a few months after Marie Therese's birth. Marie Therese's mother married Karl Ferdinand Archduke of Austria in 1854. This marriage produced six children, four of whom reached adulthood. In detail these are: Friedrich Erzherzog von Österreich Herzog von Teschen (1856-1936), Karl Stephan Erzherzog von Österreich (1860-1933), Imperial and Royal Admiral, Eugen Erzherzog von Österreich (1863-1954), High and German Master of the Teutonic Order and Imperial and Royal Field Marshal, and the daughter Maria Christina Erzherzogin von Österreich (1858-1929). The latter married Alfonso XII in 1879. Archduchess Marie Therese was descended from the House of Austria-Este, a line of the House of Austria that ruled the duchies of Modena and Guastalla in Upper Italy until their incorporation into the Kingdom of Italy in 1859. Marie Therese had inherited on her father's side the throne claims of the Stuarts to the English throne through the houses of Savoy and Orléans, which is why she was the legitimate queen of Scotland for the Stuart followers and legitimists as Mary III and the legitimate queen of England, France and Ireland as Mary IV. Of course Marie Therese's claims to the throne on the English, French, Scottish and Irish royal dignity were never claimed by her. Archduchess Marie Therese was educated strictly Catholic and received instruction from house teachers. At the funeral ceremonies for the late Mathilde Archduchess of Austria in 1867, she met Ludwig Prinz of Bavaria, with whom she immediately fell in love. The Archduchess succeeded in marrying Prince Ludwig against the resistance of her family and, above all, her uncle Franz V. Duke of Modena Archduke of Austria-Este. Marie Therese originally wanted to marry Ferdinand (IV), titular Grand Duke of Tuscany, Archduke of Austria-Tuscany, who was the son of Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany, who went into exile in 1859 and lived in exile in Austria and Bohemia. The wedding of Archduchess Marie Therese and Ludwig Prince of Bavaria took place on 20 February 1868 in Vienna. The marriage produced a total of thirteen children, ten of whom reached adulthood. Princess Marie Therese took care of the education of her children. Since she hardly had to fulfil any representation duties in the first years of her marriage, there was enough time for her to do so. Princess Marie Therese devoted herself to social charitable tasks. Since 1889 she headed the Bavarian Red Cross. In this function she also visited Henri Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross (see Bü 584). During the First World War she set up - as already mentioned - a so-called "war sewing room" in the Nibelungensälen of the Munich Residenz, which quickly and unbureaucratically provided the soldiers at the front with laundry. In Leutstetten she set up a so-called Alpinum, in which she almost completely assembled the alpine flora. Princess Marie Therese was also an enthusiastic hobby artist and Marie Therese Queen of Bavaria died at Wildenwart Castle on 3 February 1919. She was first buried in the castle chapel at Schloss Wildenwart. After the death of her husband, her remains were buried together with those of her husband on 5 November 1921 in the Cathedral of Our Lady in Munich. 1.5 Luitpold Prinzregent von BayernLuitpold Prinz von Bayern, the later Prinzregent von Bayern, was born in Würzburg on 12 March 1821 as the son of Ludwig Prinz von Bayern, the later King Ludwig I of Bavaria, and Therese Prinzessin von Bayern (née Prinzessin von Sachsen-Hildburghausen), the later Queen of Bavaria, who was taught by renowned personalities and tutors. The most notable are the theologian Georg von Oettl, who was a pupil of Johann Michael Sailer and later became Bishop of Eichstätt, the painter Domenico Quaglio, the natural philosopher Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert, the philosopher George Philipps and the national economist Friedrich Benedikt von Hermann. The prince had a military career since 1835. Already in 1848 he was promoted to lieutenant general. In 1856 he was appointed commander of the 1st division. From 1861 Luitpold was field witness for the army inspection. He took part in the 1866 war as commander of the 3rd division. In the years after 1866 he was entrusted with the reorganization of the Bavarian military on the model of Prussia. In the war of 1870/71 the prince was detached as a representative of Bavaria to the Great Headquarters. In 1876 Prince Luitpold was appointed Fieldmaster General in the rank of Field Marshal General. Politically Luitpold was in the years before 1866 on the side of the Greater Germans and for a rapprochement to Austria. 10 June 1886 took over Prince Luitpold first the regency for his nephew Ludwig II King of Bavaria, who had been declared mentally ill and unable to govern. After the death of King Ludwig, Luitpold took over the regency for his mentally ill nephew Otto König von Bayern, the brother of King Ludwig II. Although the population was initially reserved towards Luitpold, the Prince Regent soon won the affection of large parts of the Bavarian people. Prince Regent Luitpold ruled strictly constitutionally. Luitpold's reign was retrospectively glorified by his contemporaries as the "Prinzregenten period", which was characterized by economic upswing, an improvement in living conditions and, above all, cultural prosperity. The latter in particular is inseparably linked with the Prinzregenten period. Under Luitpolds regency, Munich developed into a cultural centre in Germany. "Luitpold Prinzregent von Bayern died on 12 December 1912 in Munich. He was buried in the Theatinerkirche in Munich. 1.6 Auguste Ferdinande Princess of Bavaria (née Archduchess of Austria-Tuscany)Auguste Ferdinande Archduchess of Austria-Tuscany was born on 1 April 1825 in Florence as the daughter of Leopold II. Grand Duke of Tuscany and Maria Anna Grand Duchess of Tuscany (née Princess of Saxony), she married Luitpold Prince of Bavaria on 15 April 1844 in Florence. The marriage produced the sons Ludwig, the later King Ludwig III, Leopold, later Field Marshal, and Arnulf, later Colonel General, and the explorer Princess Therese, the deeply religious Princess Auguste Ferdinande who, together with the house teachers, took care of the strict Catholic education of her children. Princess Auguste Ferdinande showed great interest in the arts - she had a talent for drawing - and in history. Princess Auguste Ferdinande died on 26 April 1864 in Munich. She was buried in the Theatinerkirche in Munich. 2. on the content, order and distortion of the holdings: As mentioned above, the GU 119 holdings include several partial estates of members of the House of Bavaria. By far the largest and most extensive partial legacy is that of the Wiltrud Duchess of Urach, née Princess of Bavaria (category 1). In the following, the contents of the estate of the Duchess Wiltrud will be discussed in more detail.2.1 Estate of Wiltrud Duchess von Urach (née Prinzessin von Bayern)The most extensive part of the estate of the Duchess Wiltrud in the inventory GU 119, apart from the photographs, is the correspondence of the Duchess Wiltrud (section 1.2).

Section 1.2 begins with letters from members of the House of Bavaria (Wittelsbach) to Princess Wiltrud (sub-section 1.2.1). Above all, the letters of her parents Ludwig III King and Marie Therese Queen of Bavaria are to be mentioned here (subcategory 1.2.1.1.1).

Finally, subheading 1.2.1 also includes letters from members of the Bavarian court (subheading 1.2.1.4) and servants of the royal family in Bavaria and Sárvár (Hungary) (subheading 1.2.1.5). Among the letters from members of the court, the letters of Bertha Freiin von Wulffen, the educator and later court lady of Princess Wiltrud, are particularly noteworthy (Bü 440-447). The close relatives of Princess Wiltrud also include the members of the House of Austria (Habsburg), with whom Wiltrud's mother Marie Therese was Queen of Bavaria, who was a born Archduchess of Austria-Este Princess of Modena, and Wiltrud's grandmother Auguste Ferdinande Princess of Bavaria, who was a born Archduchess of Austria-Tuscany.

Duke of Modena Archduke of Austria-Este related. The letters of representatives of the House of Austria can be found in subcategory 1.2.2 of this inventory. This includes letters from members of the Austria-Hungary line (subheadings 1.2.2.1 and 1.2.2.2), Austria-Este (Ducal Family of Modena) (subheading 1.2.2.3) and Austria-Tuscany (subheading 1.2.2.4) as well as from members of the Court of the House of Austria (subheading 1.2.2.5). In addition to two letters from the Zita Empress of Austria Queen of Hungary (née Princess of Bourbon-Parma) (Bü 368), the letters of the High and German Master Eugen Archduke of Austria (Bü 180), of the Imperial and Royal Colonel Karl Albrecht Archduke of Austria (Bü 400), of the Imperial and Royal Colonel Karl Albrecht Archduke of Austria (Bü 400), of the Imperial and Royal Colonel Eugen Archduke of Austria (Bü 180) and of the German and Royal Colonel Eugen Archduke of Austria (Bü 180) are also included.

Duke of Urach can be found mainly in subcategory 1.2.3. In addition to letters from her brother-in-law Karl Fürst von Urach (subcategory 1.2.3.1), letters from the children of Duke Wilhelm (II.) from his marriage to Amalie Herzogin von Urach (née Duchess of Bavaria) (subcategory 1.2.3.2) can be expected in the estate of Princess Wiltrud. The letters of the spouses of the children and the grandchildren of Duke Wilhelm (II.) are also included in subheading 1.2.3.2. On the other hand, there are no letters from the husband Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach to his wife Wiltrud in this collection. Duchess Wiltrud also had an extensive correspondence with the Altieri, Enzenberg, Thun-Hohenstein, Vetter von der Lilie, Forni and Bayer von Ehrenberg families (subcategory 1.2.3.3), who were related to the House of Urach. The family relations with these families came about through the marriages of the Auguste Eugenie Countess of Württemberg (Countess of Enzenberg, Countess of Thun-Hohenstein) and Mathilde Princess of Urach Countess of Württemberg (Countess of Württemberg). Principessa Altieri), who were half-sisters of Duke Wilhelm (II.), as well as the marriage of the Marie Countess of Württemberg, who was a daughter of Wilhelm Duke of Württemberg and Wilhelmine Princess of Württemberg (née Freiin von Tunderfeld-Rhodis), with the Count of Taubenheim. Subheading 1.2.3.4 contains letters from Urach staff. The relatives of Duke Wilhelm (II.) also include the representatives of the House of Württemberg (subcategory 1.2.4), including Charlotte Queen of Württemberg (née Princess zu Schaumburg-Lippe) (subcategory 1.2.4.1), Albrecht Duke of Württemberg and Philipp Albrecht Duke of Württemberg (subcategory 1.2.4.2), Louis II Prince of Monaco (subcategory 1.2.5) and Elisabeth Princess of and to Liechtenstein (née Princess of Urach) and her husband Karl Prince of and to Liechtenstein (subcategory 1.2.6), from whom letters are available in each case. In addition to the members of the aforementioned princely houses, Princess Wiltrud also corresponded with the members of the other princely houses in Germany and Europe (subcategories 1.2.7 and 1.2.8). The most notable are Elisabeth Queen of Belgians (née Duchess of Bavaria) (Bü 122), the Grand Duchesses Maria Anna (née Infanta of Portugal) and Charlotte of Luxembourg (Bü 247 and 124), Maria Christina Queen of Spain (née Archduchess of Austria) (Bü 243) and Alfonso XIII King of Spain (Bü 504). Among the representatives of the German ruling or former ruling princely houses, Friedrich II Grand Duke of Baden (Bü 359), Max Prince of Saxony (Bü 366), Professor of the Catholic Liturgy and the Languages of the Christian East in Fribourg/Üechtland, and Hermione Princess of Prussia (widowed Princess of Schönaich-Carolath, née Princess Reuß) (Bü 106), the second wife of Emperor Wilhelm II, should be mentioned. A telegram is available from Emperor Wilhelm II, who was visited by Duchess Wiltrud in Haus Doorn/Netherlands (Bü 319). correspondence with the members of the princely houses is followed by letters from members of the nobility (Unterrubrik 1.2.9.1), the barons (Unterrubrik 1.2.9.2) and the nobility (Unterrubrik 1.2.9.3) in Germany and Austria. Letters from aristocrats can also be found in the correspondence series "aristocratic acquaintances from Bavaria" (subcategory 1.2.9.4) and "aristocratic and bourgeois acquaintances from Württemberg" (subcategory 1.2.11). The letters of aristocrats existing in the two correspondence series were explicitly left in the respective series and not classified in subcategories 1.2.9.1 to 1.2.9.3 in order to retain the formation made by Duchess Wiltrud.Among the letters of personalities of public life (subcategory 1.2.13) are especially in Bü 250 the letters of the clergy Michael von Faulhaber, archbishop of Munich-Freising, Giovanni Battista Montini, papal undersecretary of state and later Pope Paul VI, Carl Joseph Leiprecht, bishop of Rottenburg, Sigismund Felix Freiherr von Ow-Felldorf, bishop of Passau, and Prelate Konrad Kümmel (Bü 27), editor of the "Katholisches Sonntagsblatt". Correspondence by Johann Baptista Sproll, bishop of Rottenburg, can be found in Bü 38. Among the letters of writers, the letters of the writers Emmy Giehrl (née Aschenbrenner, pseudonym "Tante Emmy") (Bü 246) and Gertrud Freiin von Le Fort (Bü 68) are particularly noteworthy. Duchess Wiltrud also maintained personal contact with the latter, since Gertrud Freiin von Le Fort had also lived in Oberstdorf since 1939. almost all the correspondence in this collection is so-called unilateral correspondence, which means that only the incoming letters from the correspondence partners in GU 119 are to be expected. Only occasionally can one find letter concepts or drafts by Duchess Wiltrud among these partners, including those from letters that were not sent later. Only some of the letters of Princess Wiltrud to her parents Ludwig III Königin and Marie Therese Königin von Bayern as well as to her aunt Therese Prinzessin von Bayern are included in the inventory of GU 119 in the partial estates of King Ludwig III. (heading 3), Queen Marie Therese (heading 4) and Princess Therese (heading 2) (Bü 1098, 1099, 1101-1103 and 1112). The letters of the parents and the aunt Princess Therese to Princess Wiltrud, on the other hand, are listed in the sub-categories 1.2.1.1.1 and 1.2.1.1.2 in the estate of Princess Wiltrud (Bü 344, 345, 350 and 352-354). If one looks at the running time of Wiltrud's correspondence in the present collection, it is noticeable that, apart from a few exceptions, hardly any letters to Wiltrud are contained from the period after 1960. An interesting insight into the way of thinking of the German nobility in the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century is provided by the extensive correspondence of Duchess Wiltrud kept in GU 119 (category 1).2) as well as the correspondence of the Therese Princess of Bavaria (section 2.1), the Ludwig III King of Bavaria (section 3.1), the Marie Therese Queen of Bavaria (section 4.1) and the Luitpold Prince Regent of Bavaria (section 5.2). In addition, the correspondence for prosopographical and biographical research, especially on the nobility in Germany and Austria, as well as on the history of individual German princely and noble houses, is of particular importance.Duchess Wiltrud's interest in the genealogy of the House of Grimaldi, the Princely Family of Monaco, is reflected in the extensive materials on the history of the House of Monaco and in the correspondence of the Duchess with Louis II, Prince of Monaco and the members of the houses Chabrillan and Lévis-Mirepoix (Bü 520 and 1244). Documents on court life, court society and protocol, especially at the Bavarian royal court, which give an insight into the court and the representative duties of the Prince Regent and later King Ludwig III of Bavaria and his family, can be found in Section 1.5. These include in particular the materials on Ludwig's official visits to Bavarian cities and on state visits, including those of Kaiser Wilhelm II to Bavaria. Individual documents also deal with the Württemberg royal court and the House of Urach. Here the memories of the Emilie von Sonntag of Florestine Herzogin von Urach (née Prinzessin von Monaco) (Bü 144) and of Wilhelm (I.) Herzog von Urach (Bü 356) are to be mentioned, for example. Documents on weddings, birthdays, funerals and other family celebrations and family events in the houses of Bavaria and Urach as well as in other princely houses are to be found in category 1.As already mentioned, the illustrations, photographs and photographs form the most extensive category (1.16) of the GU 119 collection in addition to correspondence. The largest subcategory are the illustrations of persons and group photographs (subcategory 1.16.1). This subheading contains pictures of Princess Wiltrud, her parents, her siblings and other members of the House of Bavaria (subheading 1.16.1.1) as well as members of the Houses of Austria (subheading 1.16.1.2), Hohenberg (subheading 1.16.1.2.2), Urach and Württemberg (subheading 1.16.1.3). There are also illustrations of representatives of the ruling or former ruling princely houses in Europe (subcategory 1.16.1.6) and in Germany (subcategory 1.16.1.7), of the other aristocrats in Germany, Austria and the rest of Europe (subcategories 1.16.1.8 and 1.16.1.9) and of citizens (subcategory 1.16.1.10) and of public figures (subcategory 1.16.1.11). The structure of the illustrations essentially follows the structure of the correspondence, with the illustrations of persons, the group shots and the shots of events, the persons depicted on the shots are usually listed in the Containment note. Often the information on the back of the photographs, most of which were taken by Duchess Wiltrud, was adopted. It was not possible to verify this information in view of the amount of work and time involved. In addition, the identification of persons on photographs which do not show any information on the reverse side often had to be omitted for the same reasons.subheading 1.16.2 includes illustrations of events. This subheading mainly includes recordings of official events, representation commitments (subheading 1.16.2.1) and family celebrations as well as family events (subheading 1.16.2.2). The illustrations of these sub-categories thus represent partial additions to the written documents on court life, court society, representation obligations of the House of Bavaria kept in sub-categories 1.5 and 1.7, as well as family celebrations and family events. 1.16 also includes illustrations of the Duchess Wiltrud's travels, places, buildings and landscapes, works of art, animals, ships, zeppelins, etc. The extensive picture collections listed in section 1.16 supplement the illustrations and picture collections kept in the GU 99 holdings (photo collections and albums of the Dukes and Princes of Urach Counts of Württemberg), some of which also come from the Duchess Wiltrud's possession or were created by her. The illustrations in the holdings GU 99 and GU 119, together with the materials on court life, on the representation obligations of the House of Bavaria and on family celebrations and family events in the houses of Bavaria, Austria and Urach kept in the aforementioned sections 1.5 and 1.7, represent an interesting source for the history of the houses mentioned. In addition, the above image holdings and the materials in sections 1.5 and 1.7 are of significance for the history of culture and mentality and the everyday history of the nobility.2 As already indicated, documents on Duchess Wiltrud are to be expected in the holdings of photo albums and collections of the Dukes and Princes of Urach Counts of Württemberg (holdings GU 99) as well as in the holdings GU 117 (Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach) and GU 120 (Karl Prince of Urach).2.2 Partial estate of Princess Therese of BavariaIn addition to documents from the estate of the Wiltrud Duchess of Urach (née Princess of Bavaria), GU 119 also contains partial estates and fragments of estates of other members of the House of Bavaria. The most extensive part of the collection is the one of the explorer Therese Princess of Bavaria (1850-1925), which is listed in category 2. These are documents from the estate of Princess Therese, which have been transferred to her niece Duchess Wiltrud. As can be seen from Bü 297, the materials kept in the inventory of GU 119 were handed over to Duchess Wiltrud by Oberarchivrat Franz Xaver Deybeck of the Bavarian Main State Archives in Munich, since they were out of the question for safekeeping in the Department of the Bavarian Main State Archives' Secret House Archives, in which the greater part of the written estate of Princess Therese is kept. Deybeck regarded some of the documents from the princess's estate as "wastepaper", only of "personal value and significance" and thus for the "Hausarchiv ohne Wert", as some of Deybeck's inscriptions on the corresponding envelopes reveal. The structure of the partial estate of Princess Therese is essentially based on the structure of the estate of Duchess Wiltrud. Subcategory 2.1 Correspondence mainly contains letters from relatives in Bavaria (subcategory 2.1.1), Austria, Austria-Este and Austria-Tuscany (subcategory 2.1.2). Among them are letters from Marie Therese Queen of Bavaria (née Archduchess of Austria-Este Princess of Modena) (Bü 1110, 1112, 1120-1122), Adelgunde Archduchess of Austria-Este Duchess of Modena (née Archduchess of Austria-Este Duchess of Modena) (née Archduchess of Austria-Este Princess of Modena). Princess of Bavaria) (Bü 1131), Elisabeth Archduchess of Austria (widowed Archduchess of Austria-Este) (Bü 1123 and 1124) as well as Eugen Archduke of Austria, High and German Master of the Teutonic Order and Field Marshal, Karl Stephan Archduke of Austria, Stephanie Crown Princess of Austria (née Princess of Belgium and later married Princess Lónyay of Nagy-Lónya) (all Bü 1135). Princess Therese also corresponded with members of the Houses of Württemberg and Urach. The queens Pauline, Olga (born Grand Duchess of Russia) and Charlotte (born Princess of Schaumburg-Lippe) of Württemberg (all Bü 1113), Florestine Duchess of Urach (born Princess of Württemberg), Wilhelm (II.)

There are also ten audiance books of Prince Ludwig from the years 1902 to 1913 which contain information about the names of the persons received in audiences by Prince Ludwig and about the topics discussed in the audiences (Bü 1091). These audience booklets served Princess Wiltrud and her sisters as a reminder for conversations with the court lords, diplomats, ministers and generals. The audience booklets are an interesting source of information about court life at the Bavarian royal court. The partial estate of the Marie Therese Queen of Bavaria kept in category 4 contains only letters and postcards to the Queen. Among them are the letters of Princess Wiltrud (Bü 1098, 1101 and 1102) and Therese Princess of Bavaria (Bü 1126-1128). the documents from the partial estate of the Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria, which form category 5, include the correspondence of the Prince Regent with his sister Adelgunde Archduchess of Austria-Este Duchess of Modena (born Princess of Bavaria) (Bü 1155), the printed speech of Bishop Johann Michael Sailer on the occasion of the marriage of Prince Luitpold to Auguste Ferdinande Archduchess of Austria-Tuscany (Bü 1095) and poems of Prince Luitpold with dedications and a. to Olga Grand Duchess of Russia (proclaimed Queen of Württemberg), Marie Princess of Saxony-Altenburg (proclaimed Queen of Hanover) and Alexandra Princess of Saxony-Altenburg (proclaimed Queen of Saxony-Altenburg).

With the exception of Princess Wiltrud, the Department of Secret Archives of the Bavarian Main State Archives in Munich keeps the main estates of the members of the House of Bavaria represented in this collection. 2.4 The order and indexing of the holdingsThe holdings of GU 119, together with the Archives of the Dukes and Princes of Urach Grafen von Württemberg, were deposited in 1987 in the Main State Archives. There, the archives of the House of Urach form the GU series of inventories within the tectonics (inventory classification). During the reorganization of the archives by Wolfgang Schmierer, director of the archives, the documents of Wiltrud Herzogin von Urach were given the signature GU 119. Where it seemed appropriate, the units found were retained, for example in the correspondence series. In the course of the development work, numerous documents were separated from the GU 119 holdings and above all added to the GU 96 (Miscellaneous and Unclear), GU 117 (Wilhelm II.) Duke of Urach), GU 118 (Amalie Duchess of Urach née Duchess of Bavaria), GU 120 (Karl Prince of Urach), GU 123 (Carola Hilda Princess of Urach), GU 128 (Margarethe Princess of Urach) and GU 134 (Mechthilde Princess of Urach). As a rule, the married ladies listed in the present inventory, especially those of the high nobility, are always listed under the married name, i.e. the surname of the husband, whereby the maiden name is mentioned in brackets in the title entry. In exceptional cases the married ladies are also mentioned under the maiden name, and the married name is then in brackets. In the person index married ladies are listed under both names, with the addition of the respective girl's name or married name after the marriage. For example, Adelgunde Fürstin von Hohenzollern (née Prinzessin von Bayern) is mentioned in the person index under "Hohenzollern, Adelgunde Fürstin von, née Prinzessin von Bayern" and under "Bayern, Adelgunde Prinzessin von, verh. Fürstin von Hohenzollern". In the case of the married members of the count's, baronial and aristocratic houses, the maiden name or married name was determined - insofar as this was possible with justifiable effort and with the help of the Genealogical Manual of the nobility. If the maiden name or married name is already mentioned in a note of the Duchess Wiltrud, this was taken over without examination of the same on the basis of the relevant literature. Since there was no comparable possibility of research for bourgeois wives, only in those cases in which identification was possible on the basis of notes and inscriptions of Duchess Wiltrud, the respective maiden name or married surnames were taken over without checking the information of Duchess Wiltrud. The archives of the inventory of GU 119 may only be inspected with the prior permission of the chief of the House of Urach. The finding aid book of the inventory GU 119 was completed in winter 2007. Before packing, the stock comprises approx. 13 linear metres with 1247 numbers.Stuttgart, November 2007Eberhard Merk

Alfred Graf von Waldersee was born in Potsdam on April 8, 1832, the son of the general of the cavalry Franz von Waldersee. The Waldersees, which originated from an originally Anhalt noble family and later settled in the Mark Brandenburg, served the Prussian state primarily as officers and can therefore be counted among the Prussian military nobility. After his education in his parents' house and in the cadet corps, Waldersee left the latter in 1850 as an officer in the guards artillery and was an adjutant of the 1st artillery inspection in 1858 bus in 1859 and was transferred to the general staff and promoted to major in 1866 by Captain, Prince Charles of Prussia's adjutant in 1865. Waldersee took part in the campaign in Bohemia in the large headquarters, came to the general command of the 10th army corps in Hanover after peace, became military attaché in Paris and aide to the wing in 1870, joined the mobilization as the large headquarters, became chief of the general staff of the army department of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1871 and was chief of staff of the governor of Paris, while German troops stood in Paris, then from June to September business bearer of the German government in the French Republic. Waldersee then retired into practical service as colonel and commander of the 13th Uhlan Regiment, became chief of the general staff of the 10th army corps in 1873, major general and general à la suite in 1880. In 1882 he became Quartermaster General and representative of the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, in the same year Lieutenant General, soon afterwards Adjutant General of the Emperor. Promoted General of the Cavalry under Emperor Friedrich in 1888, Waldersee was soon appointed Chief of Staff of the Army as successor of Muldke after the accession to the throne of Emperor Wilhelm II and was also appointed to the manor house and to the Council of State. In 1891 he was appointed commander general of the 9th army corps, in September 1895 general colonel of the cavalry. In April 1898 he was relieved of his commanding general position and appointed Inspector General of the 3rd Army Inspectorate. In May 1901 he was promoted to General Field Marshal. By agreement between the allied powers he was given the supreme command during the Chinese Boxer Uprising in the province of Pechili, which he held from September 27, 1900 to June 4, 1901. After his return to Germany he took over the 3rd army inspection again. Since 1874 Count Waldersee was married to an American, the widow of Prince Noer, Marie Esther Lee. Waldersee died in Hanover on 5 March 1904. The Waldersee estate was transferred to the Prussian Secret State Archives in 1935. The estate was published by H. O. Meisner in "Memories of Field Marshal Alfred Grafen v. Waldersee", 3 vol., Stuttgart - Berlin 1922/23 H. O. Meisner "From the correspondence of the General Field Marshal Alfred Grafen v. Waldersee", vol. 1 1886 - 1897, Stuttgart - Berlin 1928 H. O. Meisner "Briefwechsel zwischen dem Chef des Generalstabes Grafen v. Waldersee und dem Militärattaché in Petersburg Graf York v.

Waldersee und seine Stellungnahme zur deutschen Politik", Berlin 1935, Hist. Stud. 273 During the reorganization of the estate, attempts were made to bring related pieces, such as diaries and the private files of Waldersee, which had been torn apart by the processing, back into their original context. In cases where a large number of exhibitors were present, the letters were sorted alphabetically. Individual, already existing folders were only sorted chronologically. The letters were also included individually. This detailed list can be found in Appendix 1 of the repertory. For all other letters, a chronological order has been established and an alphabetical register has been created (Annex 2) to make it easier to find individual persons. The large number of newspaper clippings was also sorted chronologically and placed in individual folders. The relevant register (Appendix 3) contains all the available newspapers, listed separately for German and foreign newspapers. No exact signature is given, only the year has been included. The signatures are completely new. Each number is foil-wrapped, the number of sheets is on the inside cover. Additions to Waldersee's diaries contain the number of pages, marked with the letters a ff. The notes and markings with pencil and crayon originate from earlier adaptations, as well as the cutting up of individual pages. For practical reasons, the subsequent separation of individual numbers into several volumes was made during the bookbinding treatment of the estate.

Inventory description: Due to the Weimar Imperial Constitution, the previous contingent armies of the individual states (Prussia with North German federal states, Bavaria, Saxony, Württemberg, Baden) of the German Empire were replaced by a uniform Imperial Army. Due to the Versailles Peace Treaty, it was subject to several restrictions and limitations in its scope and in its military and technical equipment. Thus the Great General Staff also had to be dissolved; its function was assumed by the troop office in the army leadership. Only two general or group commandos (in Kassel and Berlin) were allowed to be set up to lead the ten divisions granted (seven infantry and three cavalry divisions). From 1919 on, the army was headed by the Chief of Staff, whose name was changed to Commander-in-Chief of the Army from 16 March 1935 on, with the reintroduction of the general compulsory military service and the establishment of the Wehrmacht. From 1933 onwards, the National Socialist government increasingly broke away from the restrictions imposed by the Versailles Peace Treaty, and was able to fall back on internal preparations for army propagation, which had been under way since 1930. Content characterisation: The RH 69 holdings essentially contain the preserved documents of the units and units stationed in Saxony. A few archival records of Reichswehr formations were taken over by the Bavarian Main State Archives in 1957; they came from the Potsdam Army Archives and were sent to Munich at the time to process another volume of the post-war fights of German troops, where they finally survived the end of the war. The archives of the Reichswehr formations stationed in Saxony originate from the then branch of the Reichsarchiv in Dresden; this branch was given the name Heeresarchiv Dresden in 1937. After the war, Soviet troops confiscated the remaining parts of the archival material and transferred it to the Soviet Union, where it was kept in the Peter Paul Fortress in Leningrad. In 1955 the archives were finally returned to the GDR. Together with other holdings, the "Reichswehrbestand Sachsen" (Reich Army Stock Saxony) was transferred to the military archive of the National People's Army of the former GDR in Potsdam. Here, a basic inventory processing was carried out, especially as the inventory was difficult to use due to file losses and frequent relocations. When the two German military archives were brought together in the mid-1990s in Freiburg im Breisgau, the tradition was passed down from Potsdam to the Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv. The classification of the files of the individual provenance sites corresponds to the structure of military command and control centres: The archives are largely assigned to the departments (Ia, Ib, Ic, IIa, IIb, IVb and IVc) of the brigade staffs (Reichswehrbrigade 12, 19, 28 with infantry commanders 19 and 29) or have been separated from each other by content. Individual documents of Reichwehr infantry regiments ( 20, 23, 37, 38, 55, 56) and of the artillery regiment 19 with several departments (news department, listening department, force department) and battalions are also available. If larger quantities of archival material were available from a department, a further subdivision was made. The number of files of the departments is different; occasionally no documents are handed down from certain departments. In addition to the organisational, service-related, personnel and material information on the individual stages and on the course of the reduction of the Reich Army in Saxony, the collection contains rich facts on the deployments of the troops stationed in Saxony in 1919 and 1920, not only the suppression of the workers uprisings in West Saxony, but also the deployments in other uprisings areas of Germany, for example in Hamburg, the Ruhr area and Upper Silesia. Troops from Saxony even took part in the fighting against Soviet troops in Latvia and Lithuania. The archives of the units and units of the provisional Reichswehr and the transitional army stationed in Saxony are of some interest for research because comparable records are not available, or at most still available, in the General State Archives in Karlsruhe (for formations stationed in the former Grand Duchy of Baden), in the Hauptstaatsarchiv/Kriegsarchiv Stuttgart (for formations stationed in the former Kingdom of Württemberg) and in the Hauptstaatsarchiv/Kriegsarchiv München (for formations stationed in the former Kingdom of Bavaria). However, the stocks available are no longer complete. On 23 February 1945, large parts of the documents and archives of the Army Archives in Dresden's Marienallee were burned after an Allied air raid. A further reduction in the number of files occurred through cassation (historically insignificant contents, e.g. incoming and outgoing mail books), which can partly be traced by means of the old finding aids.

1. history of authorities: The Technical State Office existed as the technical higher authority for the Land of Württemberg from 1 November 1933 to 31 December 1952. it had been established instead of the dissolved Department for Road and Water Construction at the Ministry of the Interior and the dissolved Department for Field Cleaning at the Central Office for Agriculture (Ordinance of the Ministry of State of 12 October 1933 Regbl. p. 396). The State Technical Office initially united all areas of state civil engineering and was responsible not only for road construction and hydraulic engineering but also for cultural construction, field cleaning and surveying. In the course of its almost 20 years of existence, the range of tasks and responsibilities changed. In particular, the separation of the field cleaning and cultural construction divisions in 1938 and the takeover of the administration of the motorways in 1945 should be mentioned here. The Ludwigsburg palace was the official seat throughout. After 1945, further offices were rented in Stuttgart. The heads of the authorities were the presidents Bauder (1933-1945), Rudolf Grossjohann (1945-1950) and Kellermann (1950-1952).1933-1937The State Technical Office was subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior, but also carried out tasks from the business area of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. It dealt with all matters of road construction and hydraulic engineering in Württemberg, in particular with the administration of the state funds provided for this purpose, and was responsible for Land Roads I and II. This responsibility was extended in October 1935 by the Inspector General for German Roads to include road construction in Hohenzollern.In the field of hydraulic engineering, the State Office was in charge of the construction and maintenance of the river sections to be maintained by the state on the Iller, Danube, Argen and Neckar, and also had advisory functions in river improvements and waterworks facilities, the use of hydropower, water supply and sewage disposal (sewerage systems, sewage treatment) by municipalities and official bodies, as well as advice in the field of water science (water level monitoring and flood service).In addition, it provided technical advice on general matters of road construction, road police and motor vehicle traffic, the approval of trams and motor vehicle lines (bus lines) and technical supervision of private railways. In the Ministry of Economic Affairs' area of responsibility, the State Technical Office dealt with cultural construction and field cleaning and formed its own "Department for Soil Improvement".In the case of field cleaning, it was particularly responsible for supervising the technical preparatory work and its execution, in the case of cultural construction, it promoted all measures for technical soil improvement (irrigation and drainage, road construction), etc. To carry out its tasks, it was directly subordinated to the higher offices, the road and hydraulic engineering offices, the cultural construction offices (renamed in 1939 to water management offices) and the surveying offices for field cleaning (later field and land consolidation offices).1938-1945On 1 January 1938, responsibility for field cleaning ("reallocation") and cultural construction was transferred to the Ministry of Economic Affairs - Department of Agriculture (Decree of the State Ministry of 10 February 1938 Regbl. p. 129). This department for agriculture was thus directly subordinated to the cultural construction offices and field cleaning offices, and the regional office retained its above-mentioned tasks in road construction and hydraulic engineering. While the tasks of road construction remained subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior, the tasks of hydraulic engineering were subordinated to the Ministry of Economy. The new division of Württemberg in 1938 was accompanied by a new division of the administrative districts (Ordinance of the State Ministry of 19.7.1938 Regbl. p. 229). The previous road and hydraulic engineering offices, field cleaning offices and cultural building offices were abolished and a new road and hydraulic engineering office, field cleaning office and cultural building office were established, whose official seat and responsibility was determined as follows: 1. Künzelsau for the districts Künzelsau and Mergentheim 2. Hall for the districts Hall and Crailsheim 3. Heilbronn for the city and district Heilbronn and district Öhringen 4. Besigheim for the districts of Ludwigsburg, Vaihingen and Leonberg 5 Schorndorf for the districts of Backnang, Waiblingen and Gmünd 6 Ellwangen for the districts of Aalen and Heidenheim 7 Herrenberg for the districts of Calw and Böblingen (dissolved in 1945) 8 Kirchheim for the district of Stuttgart and the districts of Esslingen and Nürtingen 9 Geislingen for the district of Ulm and the district of Göppingen10. Freudenstadt for the districts of Freudenstadt and Horb11. Rottenburg for the districts of Reutlingen and Tübingen12. Ehingen for the districts of Ehingen and Münsingen13. Rottweil for the districts of Rottweil, Balingen and Tuttlingen14. Riedlingen for the districts of Biberach and Saulgau15. Ravensburg for the districts of Ravensburg, Friedrichshafen and Wangen.1945-1952After the occupation of the country, the local American military authority in Ludwigsburg ordered the resumption of the activities of the Technical State Office on June 5, 1945. on the instructions of the military government formed in Stuttgart in August 1945 for the American occupied zone of North Württemberg and North Baden, the Technical State Office was to give priority to the restoration of the roads damaged by the war and of the bridges which had been destroyed for the most part.As a new task, he was assigned the administration of the motorways in North Württemberg and North Baden, since the occupying power attached particular importance to the rapid repair of these important long-distance arteries. In the course of this business growth, it set up its own "Motorways Stuttgart Department", which managed the north Württemberg and north Baden motorway sections instead of the highest construction management of the Reichsautobahnen Stuttgart (for North Württemberg) and the highest construction management of the Reichsautobahnen Frankfurt (for North Baden). For the motorways, too, the emphasis was on repair work and the repair of war damage and the reconstruction of bridges. For its tasks, the State Technical Office was responsible: the Motorways Department with its headquarters in Stuttgart and eight road and hydraulic engineering offices with its headquarters in Besigheim, Ellwangen, Geislingen, Hall, Heilbronn, Kirchheim, Künzelsau and Schorndorf. With the establishment of a special office as the National Technical Office for the French Zone in Rottenburg, to which the road and hydraulic engineering offices located in the French Zone were assigned, the National Technical Office initially attempted to maintain a joint administration. In 1946, however, the state offices were separated and the Südwürttembergische Landesamt was integrated into the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Württemberg-Hohenzollern as an independent Department VI (Road and Hydraulic Engineering), with the relocation of its headquarters to Tübingen. The Federation became the owner of the former Reichsautobahnen and Reichsstraßen, now called Bundesstraßen des Fernverkehrs, which were administered by the Länder on behalf of the Federation. In Württemberg-Baden the Technical State Office carried out the order administration for the federal motorways, for the federal roads only in the area of the state district Württemberg. In the area of public water supply and sewage disposal there were few changes (decree of the Ministry of the Interior of 18.5.1949 Official Gazette IM p. 71). Essentially, it was determined that the State Technical Office is entitled to examine all drafts for water supply systems with regard to water management and hygiene and to advise the municipalities and special-purpose associations on water supply and sewage disposal, in special cases to take over draft processing and site management and to process the applications for state contributions. Most of his duties were transferred to the Regierungspräsidium Nordwürttemberg and the newly established Autobahnamt. 2nd inventory history and processing report: The files of the Technical State Office from the years 1811-1964 which are indexed in the present find book originate from different inventories and file deliveries and were formed to a new inventory with the inventory signature E 168. the newly formed inventory consists mainly of the documents of the now dissolved inventories EL 72/1 and EL 72/2 Technical State Office Ludwigsburg, which were received in 1963 and 1972 from the Regional Council North Württemberg - Department of Road Construction and in 1986 from the Ministry of the Interior (files on motorways). In addition, the inventory contains the documents on sewage disposal and water supply from the dissolved inventory E 165 c Bauamt für Wasserversorgung, which were created after 1933. The files from the holdings E 166 Ministerial Department for Road and Hydraulic Engineering, EL 20/4 Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart - Straßenwesen und Verkehr as well as EL 74 Autobahnamt Baden-Württemberg were also classified because of their duration. To a lesser extent, previously unrecorded files of provenance from the Technical State Office as well as a file submission received in 1993 from the General State Archive Karlsruhe (see Chapter 4) have been integrated into the present inventory.in some cases, file units have been separated, assigned by provenance and this has been identified by inserted reference sheets.the documents of the Technical State Office united in this way mainly document its diverse tasks in the fields of road construction, hydraulic engineering and motorways. Only a few files shed light on the tasks in the field of cultural construction (see Chapter 4). the most extensive part of the written material, in addition to the central administrative files, consists of the documents of the road and hydraulic engineering offices of northern and southern Württemberg. The structure of the building is based on the new division of the building authority districts in 1938. The road construction files within the administrative districts are classified according to Reich roads, country roads of the first order, country roads of the second order. The files were drawn up by interns and temporary employees within the framework of AB measures under the guidance of Dr. Gerhard Taddey, Matthias Grotz and Gabriele Benning, who also took over the consolidation of the partial holdings, structuring and final editing. The packaging was provided by Mr. Siegfried Schirm, the computer-supported fair copy by Mrs. Hildegard Aufderklamm. 1214 tufts with a total circumference of 32.5 metres were in stock.

Main sectionContents overviewPreliminary remarksFilesPreliminary remarks on the request (radio files): The radio files of the press office (or department) of the Württemberg State Ministry listed below were handed over to the (Haupt-)Staatsarchiv Stuttgart for safekeeping in 1938 during the filing process of the State Ministry. They were previously recorded under the archive signature E 130 directory IV: "Akten des Württembergischen Regierungsungskommissars (Oberregierungsrat Vögele) bei der Süddeutsche Rundfunk AG". Since, in terms of their provenance, they are neither documents of the State Ministry itself, nor files of the radio consultant, but files of the Press Office of the State Ministry dissolved in March 1933, they have now been assigned to this archive collection (signature: E 131) as Section II. The files, which were very informative in many respects for the first decade of German radio history, are almost exclusively written records of the radio activities of the long-standing employee and head of the Press Office, Joseph Vögele. From 1926-1932 he was chairman of the supervisory committee, from September 1932 to March 1933 he was state commissioner at the Süddeutsche Rundfunk AG; after the dissolution of the press office he left the civil service.The structure of the file holdings, which until then had only been indexed by a concise handover index, which was often even inaccurate in its contents, was largely based on the chronological sequence of the official activities of the dog radio consultant, as far as this was possible in the case of the files found" Torakten in Angelegenheiten außerhalb des Rundfunkbereichs were retained" The arranger endeavoured to largely break down the rich contents of the numerous collection fascicles ("enthaltenält-Vermerken"). The order of these Einsel data reflects - apart from occasionally necessary contractions - only the internal structure of the individual file fascicles, not the effort for a systematic arrangement in retrospect. 57 fascicles with a circumference of approx. 1 running m are in the collection. In June 1969 it was "recorded out of service" The files in stand-up files or loose-leaf binders were retransferred to this occasion in the Ludwigsburg State Archives (by A. Berwanger) into rust-protected archive folders.Ludwigsburg July 1969Dr. A. Seiler

Preliminary remark: After processing the inventory E 130 a, retired government director Karl Elwert began in 1973 with the indexing of the inventory E 130 b (up to Bü. 1069). After his departure at the end of 1975, the undersigned took over this activity, which could not be completed until August 1990 due to several major interruptions. In accordance with the principles set out in the foreword to the finding aid book for fonds E 130 a, fonds E 130 b combines the files filed in the former partial fonds E 130 II and E 130 IV according to the 1928 registration plan. Documents of the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had been transferred to the registry of the Ministry of State after the abolition of the Ministry, were reintegrated into the original context in accordance with the provenance principle. From the extensive series of the yearly formed inputs (approx. 4.4 shelf meters, Az. J 2) the larger part was collected from the year 1920. The remainder, preserved as a representative cross-section, is grouped by subject to facilitate use. In addition, entries can also be found in the respective fact files. Otherwise, cassations were limited to doubles. This collection mainly comprises documents on the period of the Weimar Republic and National Socialism, and to a lesser extent also on the Empire. In view of the responsibilities of the Ministry of State and in view of the fact that the tradition of the specialised ministries, with the exception of the Ministry of the Interior, has largely been destroyed, the documents of the Ministry of State are of particular importance. However, the documents on parties and the series of cabinet minutes from 1932 onwards have not been preserved; even the secret registry has apparently been destroyed. Old file bundles, which were taken over in 1928 into the newly ordered old registry, are identified by a file transfer plan with the new file numbers. The signatures that are now valid are determined by the concordance. The completion of the finding aid book took place with the help of the EDP on the basis of the program package MIDOSA of the national archive administration Baden-Wuerttemberg between summer 1992 and March 1993. The collection of the data records provided in the way of the administrative assistance Mrs. Hildegard Aufderklamm of the national archives Ludwigsburg, the final editorship in the main national archives made Mrs. Gisela Filipitsch and Dr. Roland Müller. The holdings comprise 4 209 archive units in 115 linear metres.

Preliminary remark: The Württemberg State Ministry was established by a constitutional law of 1 July 1876 to advise all general state affairs. It included the ministers who in future held the official title of "Minister of State". A President appointed by the King from among the Ministers or Heads of Department, the Prime Minister, took over the management of the business and the supervision of the staff of the new authority. He also chaired both meetings of the Ministry of State when the King was absent. Permanent councils, initially members of the Privy Council, were attached to the Ministry of State to deal with business and participate in deliberations. In the Volksstaat Württemberg (1919-1933), the Prime Minister elected by the Landtag, who was given the official title "President of the State", chaired the government body formed by the ministers, the State Ministry. During the National Socialist era, the state government was limited to purely administrative tasks. The State Ministry's files, which grew up between 1876 and 1945, represent a unique documentation of the various areas of the central administration of the State of Württemberg as well as of its relationship to the German Reich and to the other German federal states. For the investigation of the history of Württemberg, but also of Germany as a whole from the foundation of the Bismarck Empire to the end of the Second World War, a very rich and valuable source material is available here, which fortunately could be saved almost unharmed during the last war. The files of the State Ministry were delivered to the Main State Archives Stuttgart in several stages: E 130 I, accesses 1931 and 1938, running time 1870-1935, extent 39 linear metres. mE 130 II, access 1946, running time 1813-1943, circumference 62 linear metres. mE 130 IV, access 1958, running time 1805-1945, circumference 55 linear metres. mE 130 VI, access 1964, running time 1945-1963, with isolated pre-files from the period 1885-1945. It was now the task of the Main State Archives to form one or, if this turned out to be impossible, several collections from these deliveries, which were interlocked many times, which were clearly structured and sufficiently indexed. For this purpose, however, an analysis of the registry conditions of the Ministry of State had to be carried out first. Liese concluded: "In the registry of the Ministry of State, three layers can be identified in the period from the establishment of the Ministry on 1 July 1876 to May 1945:a) a first registry layer, which is arranged according to the file plan valid until 1903,b) a second layer, which is the same as the one used from 1903 to 31 December 1933,c) a first registry layer, which is arranged according to the file plan valid until 1903,d) a second registry layer, which is the same as the first registry layer. (c) a third layer structured in accordance with the file plan which entered into force on 1 January 1928; layers (a) and (b) differ only slightly from one another; they have already been worked into one another in the registry of the Ministry of State. On the other hand, layer c) differs so strongly from the two earlier layers in that the main, middle and subgroups are arranged in a different order as a result of enlargement and, at the same time, as a result of the omission of some groups of files, that it is not possible to move to a new layer comprising all three layers. In this case, the already inevitable concordance would be too confusing for all users, and the other means of indexing, such as business diaries and file plans, would also lose considerable value. The archival reorganization and recording of the files of the Ministry of State begun in 1971 was therefore, in view of the file situation and the conditions of the registry, the following by Mr. Staatsarchivdirektor Dr. Ottnad: a) the new indexing combines the existing inventory groups E 130 I, E 130 II, E 130 IV and E 130 VI (as far as files before 8 May 1945 are concerned) into two inventories: The first inventory, E 130a, is formed from the levies formed according to the file plans 1876-1903 and 1903-1927, i.e. from the previous inventory E 130 I. The second stock unites the duties which are structured according to the file plan valid from 1 January 1928, i.e. the stocks E 130 II, E 130 IY and partly E 130 VI. The personal files contained in the two new stocks to be formed are combined in a third stock, E 130c.b) With the formation of the holdings E 130a, E 130b and E 130c, the delimitation of the holdings of the E series (files created up to 1945) and the EA series (files grown since 1945), marked by the year 1945 (May 8), takes place at the same time for the State Ministry.c) Files of the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which were incorporated into the registry of the Ministry of State after the abolition of this Ministry in 1920 and after the assumption of still remaining tasks by the Ministry of State, shall be removed from the registry of the Ministry of State at the time of the new listing, provided that this separation of provenance is necessary due to the file situation without special expenditure of work.For the new listing of the files of the state ministry Mr. government director a. D. Karl Elwert could be won, who brought from his many years of activity in the state ministry Baden-Württemberg almost ideal conditions for this task. From November 1971 to Autumn 1973, Mr. Elwert carried out the formation and drawing of the inventory E 130 a in close cooperation with the head of the Department of Ministerial Archives (until February 1973 Dr. Ottnad, then Dr. Sauer). If the organizing work can be continued to the same extent as before, it will be followed in the foreseeable future by the finding aid book of the even more extensive E 130 b collection. The register was produced by archive employee Klaus Breitenbücher.Stuttgart, 21 April 1978Paul Sauer

On the history of the authorities: On 1.4.1902 the Adelberg district office, which was subordinate to the Schorndorf forestry office (old order), was made independent as the Adelberg forestry office (new order), the Adelberg forestry district part of the Schorndorf forestry association. These changes took place within the framework of the reorganization of the forestry administration of the Kingdom of Württemberg ordered by law of 19.2.1902 (Reg.Bl. p. 37). All forestry offices (old order) had been dissolved and the forestry offices (new order) formed from the previous district offices had been directly subordinated to the Forest Directorate. The Forest Directorate maintained supervision of the forestry offices even after the transfer of forestry and hunting to the Reich in 1934. With the establishment of the state administration after 1945, the Adelberg forestry office was integrated into the district of the Nordwürttemberg forestry directorate (since 1.10.1973 Stuttgart forestry directorate). Not affected by measures to abolish smaller forestry offices for a long time, the Adelberg forestry office was then one of the 45 forestry offices which were dissolved on 30 September 1975 as part of the organisational reform of the state forestry administration following the administrative reform. In accordance with an order issued by the state government on 1.7.1975 (Ges.Bl. p. 549), the Adelberg forest district was divided between the state forestry offices of Göppingen and Schorndorf, which were re-established with effect from 1.10.1975. On the history of the collection: The present collection consists of the documents of the Adelberg Forestry Office and the files of the Forestry Office dissolved in 1902. Schorndorf and the Adelberg district office. The State Archives Ludwigsburg has this document (together with the documents from the Forest Office a.O. Schorndorf adult files - see Bü 251) in two deliveries: On 19.8.1971 the Adelberg Forestry Office handed over 4.2 linear metres of files (Tgb.-No. 1291/71); a further 10.6 linear metres of files were added on 7.1.1976 after the dissolution of the Forestry Office (Tgb.-No. 20/76). Both delivery lists recorded the documents in the order of the file plan of the state forestry administration of 1955. The forestry office Adelberg had converted its entire file stock (including the old registration) to this modern file plan. Previously, the documents had been registered according to the norm file plan introduced around 1902 ("Repertorium für die Forstamts Registratur" - cf. Bü 238). In 1971, the collection still bearing the archival signature F 118 la was given the designation FL 605/3 - Forstamt n.O. after the 1974 series had been restructured. Adelberg. During the archival processing, the records of the Proveniences Forstamt a.O. were preserved. Schorndorf and Revieramt Adelberg from the stand FL 605/3 and in connection with stand F 113 I as F 113 II - Forstamt a.O. Schorndorf - merged (cf. preliminary remark F 113 II). The signatures of these archival records, which were recorded parallel to the inventory of the Adelberg Forestry Office, as well as its FL 605/3 signatures were transferred to the delivery registers; these can thus be used as concordances. In addition to the preproveniences remaining in the inventory FL 605/3, the forestry offices Schorndorf and Revieramt Adelberg, prefiles of the forestry offices Lorch and Hohengehren as well as the camera office Schorndorf were to be found. Processor's report: Due to its closed tradition, the Adelberg Forestry Office was to serve as a prime example of a Württ. forestry office and the holdings, not affected by any archival cassation, were to be made accessible in an exemplary manner. The title recordings are therefore sometimes very detailed, even in the case of archival records of a small size. The final bundle numbers (= order number) were assigned according to numerus currens. The structure of inventory FL 605/3 is based on the file plan of the Landesforstverwaltung Baden-Württemberg, l. Edition 1955, additions up to 1973. The structure is preceded by an overview of the structure of this decimal plan. In order to keep the detailed inventory structure manageable, it was necessary to combine archival records with different file numbers in one category for poorly documented groups of files (cf. parentheses of the classification). each title record is provided with a consecutive serial number in addition to the order number, which is referenced in the local and person index created by computer at the end of the repertory. A concordance additionally leads back from the order number to the order number. The data in the place index correspond to volume VIII of the series "Das Land Baden-Württemberg. Official description by districts and parishes". The place name Adelberg has only been taken into account in connection with the terms Gemeinde or Markung Adelberg; forest districts, Hüten, Fluren, etc. within the Adelberg forest district are also not excluded from the place index. Restrictions on use may arise in accordance with the applicable provisions due to the duration of the stock up to 1975 and due to the personal documents contained therein (including personal files). The use of the aerial photographs kept in tufts 667 is also subject to restrictions. The order and the drawing of the inventory was carried out by Mrs. Anita Hundsdörfer from June 1979 to September 1980 under the direction of the undersigned. The structure and completion of the repertory could not be completed until 1987 due to several changes in the responsible editors. The text of the repertory was recorded by Mrs. Hildegard Aufderklamm on EDP, the print of the finding aid book was made at the Landesarchivdirektion in Stuttgart. 1506 tufts = 9.4 m. The inventory FL 605/3 comprises 1506 tufts.
