Scope and content

This collection is a collection of excerpts from national and international newspapers and magazines. The total volume covers more than 9,000 units of description in the period from 1916 to 1947. International print media include Belgian, Italian, French, Swedish, Dutch and English (British). This collection was compiled on behalf of the National Council of Churches by Marie Begas (then Secretary of the National Church Office) and reflects the content of the political and ecclesiastical disputes before and during the two world wars. The focus is on the period after 1933 (German Christians, church struggle etc.) Due to the poor state of preservation of the tradition as a result of increasing paper decay, use has not been possible for many years. Until then, there was no user-friendly distortion. For this reason, the entire stock was gradually systematically indexed in an Excel spreadsheet and each newspaper clipping or article was recorded individually. each individual article was given a serial number (partly with letter supplements, which is why the last current signature number differs greatly from the total number of data records, see above). Existing numbering was largely taken into account. The individual originals (newspaper clippings) were combined in folders, which in turn were placed in archive cartons. One carton has an average capacity of 3 folders and several employees worked on this complex project over a period of approx. 10 years. In order to make the holdings visible to the public, the Excel table was transferred to the archive database and an online find book was generated from it, which can be viewed from November 2017 on the archive portal in Thuringia. The sub-collection "Zeitungsschau, Ausgabe "Kultur", Zeitarchiv-Verlag GmbH Detmold, was not filmed because it deviates from the main focus of the remaining holdings. These are the signatures 6147 to 6238. This part of the collection appears separately in classification group 5 of the index. In the following we would like to draw your attention to further special features: In some newspapers and magazines there are cross-page articles, whereby the continuation is usually provided again with the article number and assigned (for a better overview). The new article starts with a new serial no..There are articles that extend over several pages - when using them, you have to pay attention to the corresponding references on the microfilm/digital image (e.g. "b.w." or "above weiter" etc.).The structure of the text columns (text columns) can vary from newspaper to newspaper: sometimes the text is printed from top to bottom and is continued in the right column; in other cases, however, the text sometimes extends from the left column to a subheading (or a photo) and is only continued above the subheading in the right column.It is misleading in some cases that important sentences in the middle of a text are printed in headline size and bold; this can give the impression that it is a subheading or even a new heading, but this is not the case. There are several articles that are embedded in other articles/texts, which were recorded as individually as possible during the filming. In addition, there are some gaps in the sequential numbering that result from missing articles/cuttings or minor errors in the signature assignment. Such places were also marked in the find book, so that there should be no more real "gaps".The listed peculiarities were considered with the filming as far as possible.Altogether the present collection is an important contemporary testimony of the political and church-political peculiarities at that time. In this context we would like to draw your attention to the following publication:BEGAS, MARIE: TAGEBÜCHER ZUM KIRCHENKAMPF 1933-1938(see: http://www.landeskirchenarchiv-eisenach.de/kontakt/aktuelles/33009.html)Eisenach, den 15.11.2017Johannes BrehmerMargitta Köppe
