Inventory description: Inventory history The remains of the files of the German Industrial and Commercial Conference and the Reich Economic Chamber, which were rescued beyond the events of the war and the post-war period, originate from a complex of documents that was laid out after 1945 by the American occupying authorities in the Ministerial Collecting Center (MCC) in Hessisch-Lichtenau and Fürstenhagen. On behalf of the Americans, the files collected there were opened up and processed by German officials and employees in so-called working groups or sections. Via the Administrative Office for Economics in Minden and later the Administrative Office for Economics in Frankfurt/M., the documents finally came into the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of Economics in Duisdorf in 1951 in a strongly decimated form, and were then handed over to the Federal Archives in June 1952 after an initial inspection, pre-arrangement and separation of non-archival documents. It was not uncommon for these documents to be continued in the Reichswirtschaftskammer (Reich Chamber of Commerce) as part of the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (Deutscher Industrie- und Handelstag), and it would have been difficult to divide them up between the two provenance sites when it came to establishing and delimiting the holdings. As a result of this strong continuity in the records, the archives of both provenance sites were integrated into a collection which was given the designation "Reichswirtschaftskammer" because of its final provenance. The stock was supplemented by US returns 1962-1966, 1965 and 1973. Characterisation of the content: Only fragments of the formerly extensive registries of the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (1861-1934), the successor organisations of the Association of Chambers of Industry and Commerce in the Reichswirtschaftskammer (1935-1943) and the Reichswirtschaftskammer itself have survived today. The collection contains about 200 files of the until 1934 mainly on money, banking, stock exchange and credit affairs. About 3/4 of the c.a. 2200 files are files whose term extends beyond 1934 or begins only in 1935. The focus is on files of the file plan groups B III - Education, teaching and examination and D I - Foreign Chambers of Commerce, Foreign Trade, Economic Foreign Trade Intelligence Service as well as the test centre for the area of the organisation of trade and industry in the Reich Economic Chamber equipped with special powers.
