Scope and content
History of the Inventory Designer: The Prisenhöfe - Oberprisenhof Berlin, Prisenhöfe Hamburg and Berlin - were established in September 1939 and March 1941 respectively. Her duties were to initiate proceedings on the ships brought in and, following a ruling by the Prisenhof, to carry out the decision of the prisengericht on the use of the ships. The Prisenhöfe existed until the end of the war. Inventory description: The seizure of merchant vessels flying the flag of enemy states or neutrals and their cargo was carried out under the Prisenordnung in a formal procedure by courts established for this purpose. The sea officers employed by these Reichskommissare were under the command of the Reich Chancellor in 1914-1918 and the Commander-in-Chief of the Kriegsmarine in 1939-1945. They represented the interests of the empire in the Prisenverfahren. Their task was the initiation of proceedings concerning ships brought into the Prisenhof and, following a ruling by the Prisenhof, the implementation of the decision of the Prisengericht. The Prisenhöfe existed until the end of the war in 1945. Content characterisation: The almost completely preserved stock of the Reichskommissar at Prisen hof Hamburg was kept at the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg and reached the Federal Archives in spring 1954 via the Bundesoberseeamt Hamburg. Today it comprises around 53 running metres of shelving. It contains general files, personal documents on members of the service and files on individual prise cases (preparation and initiation of prise court proceedings, execution of prise court proceedings, execution of prise court decisions, exploitation of the prise).
