Preliminary remark on the retroconversion of the finding aids: At the time of the retroconversion two typewritten repertories were available:1) The files handed down by the administrative department of the Württemberg War Ministry were recorded in 1944 under the direction of Army Archives Director Dr. Hermann Pantlen. The title recordings of the finding aid book preserved from the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart have been transferred unchanged into EDP during the retroconversion. 2) The business diaries in inventory M 1/4 were recorded in 1975 by Dr. Joachim Fischer and Wilhelm Westenfelder. The foreword and foreword of the two find books are reproduced in the following.Stuttgart, July 2008Dr. Wolfgang Mährle 1. The Administrative Department - Files (foreword to the find book 1944): The files of Department B (Administrative Department) were taken over mainly with the remaining files of the Württ War Ministry. Subsequent additions are made:1923by Landesfinanzamt Stuttgart: Files of the former Intendantur XIII. army corps and Württ. war ministry22.11.1936by Heeresarchiv Potsdam: 22 issues Files of the Württ. war ministry (Remonteangelegenheiten)27.04.1937by Landesfinanzamt Stuttgart: 45 bundles of files of the Württ. war ministry (Verwaltungs-/Waffenabteilung and Intendantur XIII.., XIV Army Corps)The archive directory was compiled on 11.12.1931 by today's government inspector Beiermeister and confirmed by the then head of the Reichsarchiv branch, Oberarchivrat von Haldenwang.The repertorisation took place in the years 1942/43 by the then Heeresarchivrat Knoch with the aid of the employee Kohler; in the interest of uniformity, the work Knoch was revised by the undersigned at the end of 1943 and in the first half of 1944, again with the aid of the employee Kohler, and the person and subject index was established with the aid of the employee Landau.In the case of the latter work (establishment of the indices), it was disadvantageous that the files were already stored on a decentralised basis for reasons of air-raid protection, i.e. that the checks resulting from such work could no longer be carried out.The files are not complete. Organizational overviews and business divisions have not been removed, as they have already been compiled into one volume (Württ. War Ministry, Business Divisions) and were no longer present in the files.Heads of Administrative Department B (until 1899 Economics Department) were:Major General von Wundt (later War Minister)09.08.1871 - 23.03.1874Wirkl.

The Administrative Department - Business Diaries (preliminary remark to the 1975 Findbuch): The business diaries of Department A are not recorded in the repertory of the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart for holdings M 1/4 (War Ministry - Department A), which was completed in 1944. The necessary order and distortion of the 287 volumes (11.5 linear metres), to which the journals of the Corps veterinarian XIII Army Corps (cf. volumes 269 and 270) remain assigned, was therefore carried out in 1972 by the contract employee Westenfelder under the supervision of the Oberstaatsarchivrat Dr. Fischer.Stuttgart, in February 1975Fischer

Formation history: After the army had undergone an enormous enlargement as a result of the constitution of the German Reich, an army inspection was formed for three to four army corps together. In 1877 the V. Army Inspection was set up in Karlsruhe. Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden was appointed General Inspector in his capacity as Colonel General of the Cavalry and was responsible for the XIV, XV and XVI Army Corps. By 1913, the number of inspections had increased from four to eight. The general inspectors were intended to lead the armies to be deployed in the event of war. In peacetime, they only had the right to inspect the army corps subordinated to them. Since they lacked the command over the assigned commanding generals of the army corps, they also had no military staffs. When the war broke out in 1914, the V Army Inspectorate in Karlsruhe was headed by Grand Duke Friedrich II of Baden as Colonel General with the rank of Field Marshal General. The V Army Inspectorate was assigned the VIII, XIV and XV Army Corps at the outbreak of war. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained in the area of the XIV Army Corps. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps was begun, in which the archives of the settlement agencies were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archive Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 22 fascicles with a circumference of 0.30 linear metres are included in the holdings.

The file no. 744 to 793 were found in the archives during the clean-up and added to the find book together with the file no. 794-796 given to us by the Department of Historical Collections of the HU 2011 University Library. History of the Registratur-Bildners The later Tierärztliche Hochschule zu Berlin was opened on 01.06.1790 as Tierarzneischule. (1)She was first subordinated to the Oberstallmeistern v. Lindenau and v. Jagow. Count Lindenau had been commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II to take the necessary preparatory steps to found a veterinary school. In view of the devastating cattle plague, King Frederick II had already given the order to draw up a plan for a veterinary training centre. However, the submitted plans failed because the Prussian Treasury was not willing to bear the requested construction costs at the proposed level. However, political and military considerations forced King Frederick William II to agree to the founding of a veterinary school in 1787. The costs were to be borne by the royal private assets. After v. Lindenau had led appropriate negotiations, the Tierarzneischule was opened to 01.06.1790. 4 professors, 1 pharmacist, 2 teaching blacksmiths, 1 stable master, 1 farm assistant, 1 provisional (pharmacy), 2 guard masters, 1 castellan, 9 stable servants, 1 gardener, 2 garden servants, 1 night watchman and 1 candidate made up the first staff of the school. At first the training was almost exclusively of so-called military eleven, soldiers who were trained as flag smiths for the army. In the year 1806 Graf v. Lindenau met back from the management of the school and his successor Oberstallmeister v. Jagow took over. The subordination to the Obermarstallamt had a very negative effect on the development of the school. On 26.03.1810, W. v. Humboldt drew up a memorandum which emphasised the scientific significance of the Tierarzneischule in particular and in which he spoke out in favour of integrating the school into the newly established university. Although Humboldt's demands were rejected by Jagow, this memorandum nevertheless became the starting point for renewed proposals for an improved establishment of the school, which were presented above all by Prof. Rudolph, Medical Councillor, and Langermann, State Councillor. By cabinet order of 09.06.1817 the school was subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior and the War. At the beginning of August 1817, the first department of the Berlin government took over the supervision of the school. (2) After the dissolution of the Berlin government and the restoration of the police headquarters, the veterinary school was subordinated to it. (3) The regulations about the restoration of the police headquarters in Berlin of 18.09.1822 provided in § 8 - Medizinal-Polizei - the subordination of the Charité and the Tierarzneischule to the medical department. As ministerial authority, the Ministry was now responsible for spiritual, educational and medical matters. In addition, the War Ministry and the Obermarstallamt had retained their say. By cabinet order of 16.11.1835 "for the acceleration of the reorganization and expedient management of the Tierarzneischule" the establishment of a "Kuratorium für die Krankenhaus- und Tierarzneischulangelegenheiten vom König Friedrich Wilhelm III. was ordered. (4) Privy Councillor Albers, who had been appointed provisional director, conducted the takeover negotiations on the part of the school. The right of the War Ministry and the Obermarstallamt to have a say remained unchanged. After the dissolution of the Board of Trustees, the administration of the Veterinary School was transferred by cabinet order of 10.12.1847 to a directorate directly subordinated to the Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs. This Directorate consisted of the Director (Albers until 1849) and the Accounting Council of Esse, who was also the Administrative Director of the Charité. Other directors were: Gurlt until 1870, Gerlach until 1877, Roloff until 1885 and since 1885 - Müller. A cabinet order of 27.04.1872 ordered that the Veterinary School be subordinated to the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests. At the same time, a close connection was established with the veterinary administration, which subsequently had a very fruitful effect, especially on scientific research activities. On 20.06.1887 the Tierarzneischule was awarded the title "Tierärztliche Hochschule" by "Allerhöchsten Erlass". At the same time, Minister v. Lucius issued a provisional statute for the school. (5) Thereafter, the school's performance committees were the rector and the teaching staff. (§ 5 loc. cit.) The Rector was appointed by the Minister. It was not until 1903 that the school was granted the right to vote. The principal was responsible for running the school. The administrators were under the authority of the rector. The senior administrative officer used the official title "Administrator". (Section 24 of the Articles of Association). The first rector was the former director Prof. Müller. It was not until April 1913, after lengthy negotiations, that the school was awarded the final charter by the "Allerhöchste Order" of 31.03.1913. (6) The right to award doctorates had previously been granted (05.09.1910). In September 1932 the Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forestry issued a new statute for the veterinary universities in Prussia, according to the information provided. (Ministerial Gazette of the Prussian Administration for Agriculture, Domains and Forests, No 41/1932, p. 566). In addition, the draft Rules of Procedure for the Rector and Senate of the University of Veterinary Medicine have been drafted. (7) However, as a result of the subordination to the Prussian Ministry of Science, Art and Popular Education, these no longer appear to have been carried out. In January 1909, at the request of the rector Schmaltz, the title "Magnifizenz" was awarded to the rector of the school. (8) This also meant that the external equality with the other Berlin universities (university, technical college, agricultural college) had been achieved. By the emergency decree of 29.10.1932 the Veterinary University was again subordinated to the Prussian Ministry for Science, Art and National Education. (9) On 02.10.1934 the Prussian Minister of Science, Art and National Education ordered the transfer of the administrative business of the Veterinary College to the Administrative Director of the Charité. (10). This order already suggested that the integration of the university into the university was imminent. Already on 20.10.1934 a meeting took place in the Ministry of Culture. (11) Professors Krüger and Bierbaum, as representatives of the school, were decidedly against the intended establishment of an agricultural veterinary faculty at Berlin University for various reasons. They advocated the creation of an independent veterinary faculty and rejected any link with the Faculty of Agriculture. Notwithstanding the objections also from other sides, the integration of the University of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture into the University as the 5th Faculty took place under the name of "Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine", Department of Agriculture and Department of Veterinary Medicine with effect from 01.11.1934. (12) Since the management of the administrative affairs by the Administrative Director of the Charité led to the detriment, the Administrative Director of the University took over these from 01.05.1935. Subsequently, the existing officials and employees of both departments were entrusted with new areas of work. With effect from 01.10.1937 the Department of Veterinary Medicine was transformed into an independent Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and separated from the connection with the Faculty of Agriculture. (13) Since 01.10.1937 the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Berlin has been in existence. Registratur und Bestandsgeschichte I. Registraturverhältnisse As is usual with the older authority registries, the registry of the University of Veterinary Medicine also contained fact files. In most cases, the file titles correspond to the contents of the file. The external condition of the files, apart from some damaged file units, can be described as good. The traditional registry order begins relatively late, only with the takeover of the Tierarzneischule by the government of Berlin in 1817. From 1790 to 1817 the school was under the control of the Oberstallmeistern v. Lindenau and v. Jagow. The registry order was established in 1841 by the registrar Tönnies. (14) It has essentially been preserved in its structure until 1945 and beyond a few years later. Main groups were formed which were called "sections" (Roman numerals). The further subdivision according to Arabic numerals designated the individual file unit. A total of 45 sections were formed, with sections XXVIII, XXXVII-XLI, XLIII and XLV completely missing. The subordination of the Tierarzneischule under three different middle authorities (1817 government Berlin, 1822 police headquarters Berlin, 1836-1848 board of trustees for the hospital and Tierarzneischulangelegenheiten) affected also the registration conditions. Thus, a significant number of file units of these intermediate authorities, known as the "veterinary school registry", were inserted into the registry of the veterinary school when it was dissolved and continued there. Some files, which were not continued at the Tierarzneischule (government Berlin, police presidium). Board of Trustees for Hospital and Veterinary School Matters), were forwarded to the State Archive in Potsdam for competence. The direct subordination to the Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs in 1847 eliminated the double subordination and also created clearer registry relationships. After the integration of the University of Veterinary Medicine into the University of Berlin on 01.11.1934 and the formation of the Faculty of Agricultural Veterinary Medicine, Department of Veterinary Medicine, the registration conditions remained the same. (15) After in May 1935 the administrative director of the university had been charged with the administration of the agricultural veterinary institutes, about 160 file units were handed over to him, most of which still exist. (16) The former central registry of the Veterinary University was thus split up. One part was handed over to the administrative director of the university (from 1936 university curator), the other remained as faculty files in the independent faculty of veterinary medicine established with effect from 01.10.1937. The existing audit files are referred to as "personal files", which also have gaps, are not listed in alphabetical order and are located at the end of the file. (17) A copy of the registration scheme is attached as an annex. TWO. Access The holdings were located in the heating cellar of the Chemical Institute of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, where they were found in November 1960 and taken over by the archive in January 1961. Negotiations to take over the stock had already been conducted with the Dean of the Faculty since 1955, but without result. At first, the dean refused to hand over the files to the archive, although the inventory was transferred from one place to another and finally ended up in the heating cellar of the Chemical Institute. During the order and distortion it was determined that the stock is no longer completely available. For cassation, therefore, it was mainly personal files of the technical personnel that were proposed. III. archival treatment The file material was roughly arranged in the year 1962 by Mr. Rambeau, whereby after the existing registry signatures the earlier order scheme was reconstructed. The indexing took place in the months February to June 1965 by Dr. Kossack, then head of the university archive. The existing file units were listed individually. The "extended distortion" (§ 87 OVG) was applied. Only in the case of the 'expert reports' files was the group listing applied. With regard to the internal order of the inventory, the found registry order was retained, since it remained unchanged during the activity of the registry formatter. (§ 61 OVG). A delimitation of the individual sections has been made and a copy of the registration scheme has been attached so that the user can quickly find his way around.

Formation history: By order of the "Army Group Gaede", control of border traffic between the Grand Duchy of Baden and Switzerland was organised militarily as early as October 1914. The catenary of the border guard was transferred to Colonel von Liebenstein. The staff began its work on 2 November 1914 in Lörrach. Landstorm units were assigned to him to fulfil his tasks. The scope of duties included protection against the import and export of unauthorized information, the prevention of espionage, the surveillance of the movement of goods, the control of persons and the search for deserters and escaped prisoners of war. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained with the clearinghouse of the infantry regiment 114. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps began, in which the archives of the clearinghouses were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archives Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 20 fascicles with a circumference of 0.30 linear metres are included in the holdings.

Formation history: The task of this stage was to supply the army by supplying it with armed forces and other army needs. The resources and supplies of the theatre of war could also be used. To each army belonged a stage inspection; to independent corps and/or army departments a stage command. The stage area was again subdivided into stage command posts, whose remit corresponded to that of a stage inspection. The documents of the following stage commandantures have been handed down in the inventory:Mobile Stage Command Office 43 [Colmar] including the District Directorate Colmar;Mobile Stage Command Office 64 [Laon];Mobile Stage Command Office 84 [Sissonne];Mobile Stage Command Office 104 [Schlettstadt];Mobile Stage Command Office 124 [Villerupt];Mobile Stage Command Office 140 [Busigny];Mobile Stage Command Office 167 [Vervins];Mobile stage command post 172 [Mulhouse in Alsace];Mobile stage command post 173 [Schirmeck];Mobile stage command post 184 [Flobecq];Mobile stage command post 185 [Müllheim];Mobile stage command post 279 [Virton];Mobile stage command post 297 [Arlon];Mobile stage command post 363 [Maniewicze].In addition to the documents of the mobile stage commandant's offices responsible for the stage area, the files of the district director Colmar on the implementation of the surveillance of the civilian population and the recording of the hostages abducted by the French are of particular interest. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files of the mobile stage commandant's offices remained with the Leib-Grenadier Regiment 109. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps was begun, in which the archives of the stage commandant's offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921.

Regiment history: The regiment was rebuilt on 22 October 1852 as the 3rd Line Infantry Regiment. On 1 July 1871 it was renamed the 3rd Baden Infantry Regiment. As a result of the military convention concluded with Prussia and the associated numbering of the units, the addition no. 111 was added at the same time, following the Prussian model. From 18 December 1892, the unit was given the final designation of 3rd Baden Infantry Regiment Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm No. 111. When war broke out, the regiment belonged to the 56th Infantry Brigade (28th Infantry Division). At the beginning of the war, each infantry regiment, including the Reserve and Landwehr infantry regiments, had set up a replacement battalion for the training of replacements. In January 1915, a further replacement battalion was ordered. In addition to the training of the army replacement, new units were also formed by the replacement battalions. The 1st replacement battalion was erected on 2 August 1914 and stationed in Rastatt. The 2nd replacement battalion was also formed in Rastatt in February 1915. As a result of the demobilisation, from 2 May 1919 only the General Command, four higher dissolution staffs and one liquidation post each for each of the infantry and artillery regiments that were part of the peace budget before 1914 remained in the area of the XIV Army Corps. As a reaction to the so-called "Spartacus Uprising" in February 1919, the Reich and Badische Volksregierung had further voluntary associations set up at all units in addition to the existing voluntary formations. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained at the processing office of Infantry Regiment No. 111. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps began, in which the archives of the processing offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archives Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 317 fascicles with a circumference of 8.5 linear metres are included.
