Oberpostdirektion München, personnel files: In 1976, the Oberpostdirektion München handed over the following personnel files to the State Archives. In contrast to the usual selection procedure, the personal files of those persons who were the heads of a post office or who could have been in line with their rank were taken over as worthy of archiving in the interests of postal history. This means that many personal files of middle grade officials have also been archived. In the State Archives, the personnel files were all newly recorded according to a special indexing scheme developed for this purpose and were also carded for the personnel file card index. In the interest of a controlled submission to the archive users, the personnel files have been classified in the new collection "Personnel files" under no. 1 - 1460.
