Literature references to Adolf Grimme's estate papers, which largely reflect his entire life's path, reached the Secret State Archives in several stages. A first very small part (approx. 0.10 running metres) was already handed over by the Federal Archives in 1969 (according to a letter from the archive dated 26.1.1976), further parts were taken over directly by Mrs. Josefine Grimme from 1974. The last parts of the estate listed were initially deposited in the archives (Depositalvertrag of 20 June 1974). This deposit was converted into a gift by Mrs. Josefine in June 1981. The autograph collection created by Grimmes was sold to the GStA in 1981 (also by Mrs Josefine). The entire holdings have thus become the property of the archive. Sabine Preuß, then Heidemarie Nowak, under the guidance of Dr. Cécile Lowenthal-Hensel, took charge of the holdings in the Secret State Archives. Josefine Grimme herself also carried out the orderly work once again. In addition, she identified signatures and put together correspondence in elaborate work. The distortion was finished by Inge Lärmer and Ute Dietsch. The initial decision to waive the inclusion of notes in correspondence was reversed when the titles were entered into the database in consultation with the head of unit, Dr. Iselin Gundermann. All files which had to be checked again in this context, especially for technical reasons, were checked for the necessity of containing notes in the interest of use and supplemented accordingly. This applies in particular to correspondence with artists or with very high-ranking personalities - personalities of contemporary history - or files with contents that are valuable for scientific analysis. Josefine Grimme stressed in her letters (including a letter of 27 July 1980) that the files were "essentially still as my husband had seen them". The Grimme couple deliberately designed Adolf Grimme's own registry and archive. After the sources were taken over by the archive, the aim was therefore not to destroy the order laid down by Adolf and Josefine Grimme. When using the holdings, it should therefore be noted that - if available - the inscriptions on master folders, the inscription of folders or fascicles or inserted notes with a summary of the contents of the respective folders (i.e. "file titles" issued by Grimme[s]) should be retained as far as possible and set in quotation marks in the reference book, if necessary - as an offer to the user - explained by "Contains note". The Josefine Grimme collections (group 1.1.3) were started by Adolf Grimme and therefore also left in context. It was agreed between Josefine Grimme and the archive that "the files blocked by her husband at the time and all personnel files after 1945" would not yet be made accessible for use (letter of the GStA of 13 March 1975 to Ms Grimme). In principle, these blocks have been maintained until 2010, even in compliance with data protection regulations (in particular groups 2.5.4 to 2.5.6). In the find-book, especially in the Correspondence group, the number of pieces (not the number of sheets) of existing documents can be seen in the file titles. "K" means that (mostly partially) there are only copies in the correspondence (the originals are then mainly in the autograph collection, which contains almost exclusively letters to Grimme - group 6.4). Reference files that Grimme kept from his time as Prussian Minister of Culture until his time as Lower Saxony Minister of Culture were not separated; they are classified in the time of the beginning of file formation (Prussian Ministry). The possible overlaps between the individual groups must also be taken into account during use. Since Josefine Grimme formed the files for the correspondence herself (with her own portfolio, counting of pieces and often also sheet counting, as can still be seen from the portfolio captions), it was decided that later or in other contexts letters from the respective correspondence partner would be listed in the archive as an extra volume and would not be incorporated into the existing portfolios. This explains, for example, overlaps in the runtimes of the individual volumes with the letters of a correspondence partner. Grimmes also retained the grouping of letters from some of his correspondence partners with the same initial letter into the subgroup "Individuals", in some cases supplemented by the note "Insignificant", since the latter documents were of no importance to Grimmes in the context in which they were written. The authors of the letters may well be historically important personalities. No cassations were made in the archive. Tapes of Adolf Grimme's speeches and performances were given to the Adolf Grimme Institute in Marl by Mrs Grimme in 1979. Waltraud Wehnau did some of the technical writing work (correspondence partner).

Government of Middle Franconia, Abg. 1978: Foreword in preparation

Government of Middle Franconia: Introduction missing

General information The files combined in this finding aid book originate from different registry layers as well as from different registries. In the main, they comprise from the old central office of the government (i.e. the Presidential Division CB I) the former subjects 35 (Public Peace and Mood), 35a (Social Democracy and Anarchism), 36 (Forbidden Links, Supervision of Individual Suspicious Individuals) as well as 47 (so-called Registrar's Office MOB). This latter registry grew into a comprehensive processing area for the mobilization, the war of 1914/18, the economic and military demobilization, as well as the entire occupation-related opportunities. The confusion led to a radical reorganization of the CB II (or CB III) registry around 1922, with a new division of the subject and a focus on occupation issues and political affairs. The special circumstances of the occupation period necessitated a branch of the district government in Krefeld. In 1920/21, the latter had its own registry, as did the district president Grützner during his expulsions in Barmen (February 1923 to April 1924) and Bielefeld (April-September 1924). The files of the so-called Essen Reporting Office are integrated into the inventory. This is one of the Provincial Public Order Supervision Services established at the instigation of the State Commissioner for Public Order, Robert Weismann, in August 1919. On 15 November 1920 a special registration office for the administrative district of Düsseldorf was set up, and Jürgens, the councillor of the district court, was appointed head of this office on 30 November 1920. On 10 March 1921 the registration office was moved from Düsseldorf to Essen, on 29 July 1927 it was moved back to Düsseldorf and integrated into the CB II department, where it existed until the end of 1922. The Reporting Office collected news about the political and economic movements in its area from the police and administrative authorities and from the press, stimulated the intervention of the executive branch on the basis of the news it received and reported continuously by the President of the Government to the Chief President in Münster, in important cases immediately to the State Commissioner. The documents and newspaper clippings were originally stapled together in notebooks marked M ff. At the end of 1922 Faszikel was created and newly signed (A lff., B lff. etc.). That reorganisation was carried out up to the letter M, with the exception of the files relating to the crew, which were not stapled. Of the following letters, only a few particularly important files have been stapled. The records of the Essen Reporting Office and also of the CB II registry from 1922 ff. are partly very inconsistent, they tend above all to the formation of very narrow subject matters (or institutions concerning) and therefore show partly very thin fascicles. Also included in the inventory are the documents of various authorities and organisations of the transitional economy (above all price control and usury control) as well as the opportunities for occupation. The documents of the German delegation to Düsseldorf for the implementation of the London Agreements of 1924 are particularly worthy of mention here. The German delegations in Düsseldorf and Koblenz were headed by Johannes Horion, Governor of the State of Düsseldorf, whose permanent deputy in the Düsseldorf delegation was the Privy Councillor Dr. Claussen. The delegation, which had its seat first in the Landeshaus, and since 24 November 1924 in the government building, began its activities in September and ended them in December 1924. Occasionally, documents of the District President Abbot CB II are attached to the files. These files were handed over by the Düsseldorf government in 1934. Professor Wentzcke saw others in the possession of the late governor Horion. The files of the district police commissioner Otto Kammhoff in Elberfeld make up a numerically large but not so important part. For a critical assessment of the source value of these files, the personal file of Kammhoff is to be consulted (No. 15993). The files summarized in the present find book extend from the middle of the 19th century to about 1944, with the emphasis on the labour movement since 1880, the First World War and the post-war period until about 1928. From the later years there are files of the police department only for 1931/32 and a few from the foreigner surveillance of the Second World War. The archivability is given in the majority; often the arrangement of a permanent storage is to be understood only from the special situation (crew defense). For reasons of a closed overdelivery, which is in itself also a document, however, it was decided not to carry out subsequent individual cassations. Due to the fragmentation of the authorities' activities (headquarters in Düsseldorf, branch office in Krefeld, registry of the district president), numerous multiple documents have been produced, as well as the simultaneous reporting to superior offices.

Discriminatory title formulations due to time constraints were left, but the title formation was corrected by additions or explanations in the Include note. Especially out of the anti-occupation defence files have been formulated under a title, which assumes a much more far-reaching fact than actually going facts. The same title structure was retained for general and special files. The terms, however, are uniformly reproduced as general; individual cases or accompanying acts (instead of generalia, specialia or adhibenda). The content of the memos has been broken down further, i.e. further information has been provided which is covered by the title of the file but not addressed in detail, or the formal page of the content of the file has been added for explanatory purposes. Documentation content that differs from this is indicated both in terms of content and form (especially print and periodicals, posters, etc.). In view of the very uneven size of individual volumes and their nevertheless promising titles, the size was shown (either in the exact or in an estimated size). The following subject areas were selected for the content and thematic classification 1) Political Affairs 2) Administrative Law, Foreigners' Affairs 3) Occupation Affairs 4) Military Affairs, Warfare 5) War and Forced Economy (Transition Economy) The subdivision into the individual points takes into account both the factual context and the formation of the files, i.e.h. where sufficiently large amounts of files were created into a complex under a (contemporary) subject, these series were also merged (e.g., Social Democracy and Anarchism Communism and related organizations National Socialism and related organizations). These definitions are of a purely practical nature and are intended to avoid classification according to ideological principles. In addition, either the alphabet or the chronology are strictly regarded as further order factors in individual classification groups. For the history of authorities and registries, the introduction to the finding aid G 21/2 (presidential office) is to be used. The files shall be quoted: BR 0007, BR 1041, BR 2049 current no.

Discriminatory title formulations due to time constraints were left, but the title formation was corrected by additions or explanations in the Include note. Especially out of the anti-occupation defence files have been formulated under a title which assumes a much more far-reaching fact than actually going facts. the same title formation was maintained with general and special files. The content was further broken down in the content notes, i.e. further information was given that was covered by the file title but not addressed in detail, or the formal page of the file content was added in an explanatory manner. In view of the very uneven scope of individual volumes and their nevertheless promising titles, the scope was indicated (either in the exact or in an estimated indication).The following subject areas were selected for the content and thematic classification 1) Political Affairs 2) Administrative Law, Foreign Nationals Affairs 3) Occupation Affairs 4) Military Affairs, Warfare 5) War and Forced Economy (Transition Economy)The subdivision into the individual points takes into account both the factual context and the formation of the files, i.e.h. where sufficiently large amounts of files were created into a complex under a (contemporary) subject, these series were also merged (e.g., Social Democracy and Anarchism Communism and related organizations National Socialism and related organizations). These definitions are of a purely practical nature and are intended to avoid classification according to ideological principles. In addition, either the alphabet or the chronology are strictly considered as further order factors in individual classification groups.

Preliminary remark The old list of files included Divisions I - VI. Divisions VII - XII and Division I P (personnel files) had been added to the list of files as special groups. A new structure with 25 subject groups was created in the present repertory, since the system of the old file index did not meet the requirements. The special groups of the old directory are now under: No. 5 c-e (Personal Akten, Abt. I P), No. 12 b (Mobil- und Demobilmachung, Abt. IX M, XMD), No. 23 c (Reg.Präsident Dr. Rombach, Abt. VIII), No. 23 f (Eupen-Malmedy, Abt. XI), No. 23 g (Neutral-Moresnet, Abt. VII), No. 24 (Gestapo, Abt. XII). The present new repertory replaces the provisional old repertory G 20/2, which only bore the title Government Aachen, Presidential Office, which has been extended in the present finding aid book to "Government Aachen, Presidential Office and Special Groups". However, the files shall continue to be ordered under 'Aachen Government, Presidential Office, No ...'. The redesign of the repertory was carried out by State Archives Inspector Kilian and State Archives Assessor Dr. Lück. (December 1970)

Inventory description: The sovereignty of the French government remained intact, with some restrictions, in the southern French territory not occupied by Germany after the German-French armistice of June 1940. Control organs of the German Armistice Commission (RW 34) supervised the disarmament of the French army and the registration or delivery of military equipment. The German mistrust of the French government under Marshal Pétain in Vichy led Hitler to instruct the Mayor of West France from the end of 1940 onwards to stand ready for an occupation of the rest of France at any time (company "Attila", later "Anton"). Until November 1942, however, when the Allied troops landed in French North Africa and the French government in Vichy and local authorities adopted at least an unclear stance, there was no reason for German troops to occupy southern France. During the occupation of Vichy on November 11, 1942, the "German General of the Commander-in-Chief West" took up his duties and was thus, as it were, liaison officer of the Lord Mayor West with the French Head of State Marshal Philippe Pétain. In cooperation with various civilian Reich authorities, he had to represent the German demands to the French government in the part of France which had remained unoccupied until then and to supervise their execution or implementation (see also the Instructions for the German General of the Lord Mayor West in Vichy in RH 31-VII/1). In September 1944 the office was closed. Lieutenant General Alexander Freiherr Neubronn von Eisenburg headed the office, having previously worked in the Armistice Commission and headed the Bourges Army Control Inspectorate. Characterisation of content: In addition to the War Diary No. 3 (21 October to 31 December 1943) and the activity report for the first quarter of 1944, only collective files have survived in which the following topics are reflected: Occupation of southern France, demobilisation, integration of members of the French army into the economy, site overviews, control and security of communications, notes and reports on meetings of Lieutenant-General Freiherr Neubronn v. Eisenburg with French members of government, border traffic, cooperation with the Armistice Commission, tasks and powers of the Higher SS and Police Commander, traffic with German police stations in Vichy, mood and situation reports, security and control measures, troop accommodation, events in Toulon, Records and stocks of the French transitional army, French labour service, seizures of state and private property by German authorities, applications for release, French penal and military institutions, arrests, petitions and applications for release of prisoners and release of buildings. State of Indexing: Findbuch Vorarchivische Ordnung: Archivische Bearbeitung The stock RH31-VII Deutscher General des Oberbefehlshabers West in Vichy was updated in 2011 and transferred to the database BASYS-S-2 according to the current indexing guidelines. The old signatures were also added to the database, making it possible to search for them. The documents - in particular the war diaries - were supplemented with notes on contents in order to depict special or important contents. Due to the loss of written records and the resulting gaps in their transmission between 1941 and 1945, the documents were not evaluated. The oversized maps and technical drawings were removed for conservation reasons and are now stored together in map folders under newly created signatures.

History of the Inventor: After Adolf Hitler had been appointed Reich Chancellor of the German Reich on January 30, 1933, the NSDAP gradually undermined the democratic system of the Weimar Republic over the following months and finally eliminated it. Decisive stages were the abolition of fundamental rights after the fire of the Reichstag on 28 February 1933 and the abolition of parliamentarism by the so-called Enabling Act of 23 March 1933. The latter abolished the separation of powers and conferred all legislative powers on the government under Adolf Hitler for four years. A further step was the smashing of the parties and unions. After the KPD had been banned, the trade unions dissolved and the SPD rendered incapable of action, the other parties dissolved on their own. In the course of these measures, the six existing municipal umbrella organisations also lost their independence. On May 22, 1933, the chairmen and managing presidents of the German/Prussian Association of Cities, the Reichsstädtebund, the Deutscher Landkreistag, the Deutscher Landgemeindetag, the Preußischer Landgemeindetag West, and the Association of Prussian Provinces were forced to give their consent to the transfer of the various associations into a new unified association. From now on, this "German Community Day" was to be the sole corporate representation of all German city and community associations recognised by the NSDAP. In order to standardize the previous associations with their 80 sub-organizations, the provisional Lord Mayor of Munich, Karl Fiehler, was appointed as "Representative for the Standardization of the Municipal Central Associations". The management of the new association was taken over by Dr. Kurt Jeserich, provisional director of the Institute for Municipal Science in Berlin, and Dr. Ralf Zeitler, speaker at the Reich Employers' Association. The merger process, which lasted for months, finally came to an end in the Law on the German Community Day of 15 December 1933, which finally established the formation of the new association. As the only existing communal top organization, the German Community Day, which as a corporation under public law was fundamentally subordinate to the Reich Minister of the Interior, was forced to include all cities, rural communities, administrative districts, provinces and later also the Reichsgaue in its capacity as self-governing government units. After the integration of Austria and the Sudetenland into the German Reich in 1938, the annexation of West Prussia, Gdansk and Poznan in the following year, the sphere of influence of the German Association of Municipalities was extended to the new parts of the Reich and their Gau administrations. In principle, the association took over the municipal representation of interests for all areas placed under German sovereignty. On February 14, 1934, Karl Fiehler, the previous commissioner for unification, was appointed the first chairman of the German Association of Municipalities. Fiehler was head of the NSDAP's local government department. The personal union was intended to coordinate the orientation of the NSDAP's work in local politics with the work of the German Community Congress and thus to comply with the principle of the harmony of party and state proclaimed at the 1933 Reich Party Congress in Nuremberg. The management of the German Association of Municipalities was subject to the instructions of the chairman and Reichsleiter of municipal politics. Through this entanglement of party and state authorities, the German Community Day came under the "organizations supported by the NSDAP", which was also partly advantageous, since the technical work could be made more effective under the supremacy of the party office. The association was now much more representative of the state. However, the idea of a unitary association with clearly defined tasks and closer ties to the state was nothing new; quite a few saw in it the possibility of better asserting municipal interests. The forced standardization and the practice of the totalitarian state, however, only allowed the possible advantages of the new uniform association to recede into the background. The association was supervised by the Reich Minister of the Interior, who appointed the chairman, the members of the board and the specialist committees. The executive committee and specialist committees were only allowed to meet after being convened by the minister, who also determined the agenda. In addition, he approved the budget and he himself or a deputy had to chair the committees. In addition to the 20 specialist committees, which only had the right to advise the chairman, the state and provincial offices were the only subordinate bodies of the Berlin office. Although the association had a highly centralised structure, the necessary expansion to include regional working groups and county departments in order to increase the exchange of experience led to an organisational structure that was comparable in its approach to that of the old associations. The fact that the association no longer had the right to represent municipal interests before the Reich and Land authorities on its own initiative had a particularly drastic effect. Only after a request by the authorities should the association be allowed to express itself from now on. Before 1933, however, it was precisely this right of initiative that had been decisive for the active representation of interests vis-à-vis the state and the self-determination of municipal associations as part of a pluralistic social order. Despite the organisational and political changes, the German Community Day also played an important role between 1933 and 1945, above all as a community advisory centre and as a mediator of practical experience in the field of local administration. Even the exchange between municipalities and state administration was by no means discontinued, which is evidenced by the active expert activities of the German Association of Municipalities (Deutscher Gemeindetags). A certain continuity in the association's work could also be ensured by the fact that a larger number of executives from the dissolved associations transferred to the new association. The organisational structure of the German Association of Municipalities was basically very similar to that of the German/Prussian Association of Cities. Thus the German Community Day took over the coat of arms of the German/Prussian Community Day, the Holstentor, and also its registry. The annual meetings of the German Association of Municipalities also followed on from similar events of the predecessor institutions. As a result of the bombing of Berlin during the Second World War, the German Community Day moved part of its administrative offices in August 1943 from Berlin to Wels/Upper Austria. The main tasks of the departments there were Ia (civil servants, employees and workers), II (finances and taxes), III (welfare, health and social policy), V (schools), Va (culture), VI (real estate, construction and housing) and Rv (defence of the Reich). It should be noted that only Division III with all registries moved to Wels. The other departments - probably only working staffs - took only parts of their registries with them. Also the cash administration and the personnel office moved to Wels. Departments Z (Central Department: General Administration, Management), I (Constitution and Administration), IV (Economy and Transport) and the Department for the Eastern Territories remained in Berlin. After the collapse of the German Reich in 1945, the German Community Day, due to its status as a "supervised organization", was regarded by the Allies as a part of the NSDAP's outlines and, together with the other organizations of the NSDAP, banned and formally dissolved. The administrator appointed by the Berlin magistrate for the concerns of the German Association of Municipalities did not succeed in correcting this misunderstanding. It was not possible to set up a kind of municipal chamber as the successor to the German Association of Municipalities. The "German Association of Cities", which had already re-constituted itself in 1946, was granted the right to ownership of the property of the German Association of Cities, but it could not bear the financial burden of the reconstruction and repair of the building on its own. Together with the Berlin Senate, the "Verein zur Pflege kommunalwissenschaftlicher Aufgaben e.V." was finally founded and established in 1951 as an asset holder of the German Association of Municipalities. The association, which was soon renamed "Verein für Kommunalwissenschaften", took over the office building in Straße des 17. Juni and also the files stored there. The building, today known as the Ernst Reuter House, was planned by Albert Speer for the German Community Day, erected from 1938 and finally occupied by the German Community Day in 1942. The German Association of Cities, the largest municipal umbrella organisation, initially set up its headquarters in Cologne due to its special status in Berlin. It was not until 1999 that the head office was partially relocated to the Ernst-Reuter-Haus in Berlin. In addition to the German Association of Cities and Towns, the central associations at district and municipal level were also newly formed after the Second World War. The Deutscher Landkreistag and the Deutscher Städte- und Gemeindebund, together with the Deutscher Städtetag, represent the most important municipal interest groups. The Federal Association of Municipal Central Associations offers these three associations the opportunity to present their interests in a bundled manner and to jointly express their views on overarching problems. Inventory description: Inventory history The inventory R 36 consists entirely of the files of the administrative offices relocated to Wels during the war. Apart from the cash documents and personnel files, the whereabouts of which could not be clarified, the Wels stockpiles have survived the war and the turmoil of the post-war period without any losses. They were taken by a member of the German Association of Communities via Linz/Donau, Offenburg, Frankfurt/Main to Siegburg, where the files were first kept at the newly founded German Association of Counties. With the approval of the Federal Association of Municipal Central Associations, the latter handed them over to the Federal Archives in 1953. The records in the Federal Archives represent only a small part of the total records. An estimated three-quarters of the total holdings, which consisted of the non-displaced registry parts of the German Association of Municipalities and the old registries of the dissolved umbrella organisations, remained in Berlin. After the Second World War, the files were stored at the Verein für Kommunalwissenschaften, which handed them over to the Landesarchiv Berlin as a deposit in 1968. There the German Community Day is registered today with 8600 file units. The second largest part of the collection is the legacy of the German and Prussian Association of Cities with 4286 files, whereby its war economy files from the years 1914 to 1918 form a separate collection with 1279 file units. Furthermore, the tradition of the Reichsstädtebund, the Association of Prussian Provinces, the German and Prussian Landkreistag, the German and Prussian Landgemeindetag and other associations that were absorbed into the German Gemeindetag in 1933 can be found in the Berlin State Archives. The German Association of Cities also handed over its old registrations to the Landesarchiv Berlin until 1985. Already in 1937/38 a small part of the files of the predecessor institutions of the German Community Day had been transferred to the Prussian Secret State Archives - today the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage. These holdings had been moved to Stassfurt during the war and then to the German Central Archive of the GDR, Merseburg Department. Today the tradition of the German and Prussian Association of Cities and Towns, the Association of Prussian Provinces, the Prussian County Council and the Prussian West Community Council is again in the Secret State Archives in Berlin-Dahlem. Documents of the German and Prussian Association of Cities, the Reichsstädtebund and the German and Prussian Landkreistag amounting to some 2600 file units, which had been transferred to the Reichsarchiv Potsdam in 1938, were lost in the fire at the archive building in April 1945. Archive evaluation and processing The present finding aid book represents a revision of the finding aid book produced in Koblenz in 1957. Volume counts, as far as they had been specified in the file numbers, were taken over for the volume sequences. In addition, further tape sequences were created for archiving purposes. The transactions contained in individual volumes ("booklets") were included in the titles. For the illustration of the volume and issue divisions, the file numbers are displayed in the index. Furthermore, the titles and the classification, which were based entirely on the file plan of the German Association of Municipalities, were slightly changed. For example, file plan items have been grouped together and the names of individual subgroups have been standardized. The changes were made carefully in order to reproduce as faithfully as possible the traditional registry order, as far as it has been preserved. There were no cassations. Furthermore, it should be pointed out that a large part of the files had been created by the predecessor institutions and then continued by the German Association of Municipalities after 1933.

I. Introduction 1 History of the authorities The existence of the General Civil Commissions is due to the Napoleonic Wars and the Stein-Hardenbergschen administrative reforms. After the military collapse of Prussia in 1806 and the Tilsiter peace of 7-9 July 1807, the question of civil and military reorganization of the state arose. Prussia had suffered great territorial losses in the peace of Tilsit, including those areas which it had only gained in the second and third Polish partition of 1793 and 1795. From these areas Emperor Napoleon formed the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. The territory of Pomerania and the Neumark, on the other hand, was preserved and the network district was divided. The Immediate Commission for the Enforcement of the Tilsit Peace was established to implement the peace provisions. For Pomerania and the Neumark as well as for East and West Prussia, general civil commissionariats were established, which were subordinated to the Immediate Commission (Kabinettsordre of July 31, 1807). The General Civil Commission for Pomerania and the Neumark was headed by a proven financial specialist: It was August Heinrich von Borgstede (1757 - 1824) who was appointed to this post by King Frederick William III. After studying camera science and law at the University of Halle, Borgstede first worked in the Justice Department of the Kurmärkische Kriegs- und Domänenkammer before being appointed to the General Directorate, where he had been employed in various territorial departments since 1795. One of the decisive factors for his later appointment was probably the fact that he had been chairman of the department for the Kur- and Neumark and in the Pomeranian department since 1800. At the time of his appointment, Borgstede held the title of Privy Supreme Finance Council, War Council and Domain Council. The task of the General Civil Commission was to implement the conditions of the peace treaty in the provinces occupied by the French army. To this end, they had to maintain close contacts with the middle administrative level, which already included the newly established governments in addition to the war and domain chambers. In addition, interim chambers for the unoccupied regions of Kolberg and Treptow an der Rega have existed since 1807. They were dissolved after the withdrawal of French troops in September 1808. At the central level, the Civil Commissioners not only worked with their superior authority, but also with the corresponding territorial departments in the Directorate-General. They also had to cooperate with the French military and civil administration in their blasting operations. In addition, Lieutenant General Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher was appointed Governor General for Pomerania and the Neumark and moved into this capacity, first to Treptow an der Rega and later to Szczecin. The demarcation district, which is repeatedly mentioned in the document titles, are the areas in which Blücher's troops were accommodated. The border villages of the demarcation district are listed in the file GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 146 No. 141. Within this structure, the General Civil Commissioners' offices probably functioned primarily as'postmen', but also as a clearing house for financial issues and questions arising from the military occupation of their bloc. Accordingly, the documents of this authority reflect almost the entire range of tasks of the war and domain chambers: they were concerned not only with contribution and excise matters and with catering for the army, but also with customs, commercial and manufacturing matters, with the affairs of offices and cities, with salt and mill matters, with sovereign matters and with questions of good policey'. Time and again, the General Civil Commission offices also became the focal point for applications from subjects, with one group, namely the officials who had fled the ceded territories and were seeking reinstatement, standing out in particular. In general, personnel decisions as well as the supply of inactive soldiers and military personnel were the main tasks of the General Civil Commissionariats. Nothing is known about the internal organization of the General Civil Commission offices. Those who go through the archival records received get the impression that it was a small authority with a few officials, which perhaps did not need a strong internal structure. In the case of the General Commissariat for Pomerania and the Neumark, all business transactions obviously ran via Borgstede's desk. Together with the Immediate Commission for the Enforcement of the Tilsit Peace, the General Civil Commissionariats were abolished on 16.12.1808. As far as Borgstede was concerned as head of the General Civil Commission for Pomerania and the Neumark, he was put into retirement and retired to his estates. Towards the end of his life (1823), however, he was reactivated once again and appointed to the Prussian Council of State. 2. inventory history The files were originally listed by title in a file index from the 19th century. During a revision in the German Central Archives, Merseburg Department, serial numbers were assigned in 1962. U. transferred the titles to the archives database in 2010 (see also 3.) and reviewed the title formation of selected files in this context. 3) Instructions for use This reference book is not based on a re-listing of the holdings, but on the old reference book from the 19th century. The titles of the indexing units have been modernized and simplified in accordance with current archival standards. Source terms for old job titles and other special terms have been inserted in parentheses in normalized spelling. Place names were checked and reproduced in the current spelling. Place names that could not be identified were enclosed in quotation marks. 4th Literature Eberhard Lebender: August Heinrich von Borgstede.
