History of the authorities: Until the beginning of the 18th century there were no special forestry offices in Paderborn, neither in the court chamber nor in the individual offices. The forest administration was also carried out by the office pension masters. In 1705 a chief forester was appointed as "wood inspector" for the sovereign forests and it was only in the middle of the 18th century that the local forestry gained a certain independence. The forest administration was now transferred to the official authorities and their subordinates, the forest rangers and forest keepers. In the later Oberförsterei Böddeken existed the service farms Telegraf, Neuböddeken, Gellinghausen and Sprengelborn. As part of the reorganization of the forestry administration in 1817, the Prussian administration set up forest inspections staffed by forest masters as subordinate authorities to the government. Subordinated to these were the chief forest rangers, to whom several protective districts administered by sub forest rangers were subordinated. Until 1803 the areas of the present Böddeken Forestry Office were owned by the Böddeken Monastery and the Paderborn Cathedral Chapter. Area changes were caused by separations and separations, in particular by the Wewelsburg separation. After the first survey and division of the forest district had taken place in 1833/34, the first estimate and the first plant were completed in 1856 after various attempts. The Oberförsterei Böddeken was at that time subject to the Paderborn Forest Inspectorate. Already in 1833 the Sprengelborn forestery, formerly belonging to the Oberförsterei, had been sold. Since 1861, however, it has served as a sub-forestry farm for Eggeringhausen. In 1882 the area of Böddeken consisted of the following protectorates: Telegraf, Altböddeken, Wewelsburg, Neuböddeken, Atteln, Eggeringhausen and Gellinghausen. Around 1900 Atteln was ceded to the new Oberförsterei Dalheim. Parts of Neuböddeken were used to form the Henglarn protectorate, while the remainder continued to exist as the Neuböddeken hunting ground or lower forestery. According to an assessment work of the Oberförsterei (D 6 B Böddeken No. 61), which was established in 1900, the forest district at that time consisted of the forest locations Telegraph, Blindeborn, Kluss, Teufelskammer, Kölnische Mark, Okenthal and Kiefernkamp. In 1947, the Böddeken Forestry Office comprised a forestry master post in Böddeken, a head forester post in Gellinghausen, the Telegraf, Altböddeken, Wewelsburg, Henglarn, Neuböddeken, Eggeringhausen and i. G. district forester posts as well as two employee posts (see D 6 B Minden No. 305). In 1934 the Öberförsterei Böddeken became the state forestry office of the same name. In 1949, the new state of North Rhine-Westphalia incorporated the forestry administration into the district governments, as bureaucratic forestry departments subordinate to the district president. This meant for Böddeken that it was subordinate to the Minden forest department of the Detmold government president. On April 1, 1952, the forester's office, built in 1908 and moved from Wewelsburg to Gellinghausen in 1928, was dissolved. In 1956, the forest departments became departments. From 1 January 1970, the tasks of the higher forestry authorities were transferred from the presidents of the provinces to the directors of the Chamber of Agriculture as state representatives. On 31.12.1971 the forestry office Böddeken was dissolved. The State Forestry Office in Paderborn became the successor authority. Inventory history and indexing: The inventory D 6 B Böddeken initially comprised an access originally handed over to the former State Archives Münster with a duration of 1819 to 1860, which later reached here in connection with the division of responsibilities between the former State Archives Münster and Detmold, the access 42/1967, which has a duration of 1920 to 1955 and was handed over directly from the Forestry Office Böddeken to the State Archives Detmold, as well as some documents from the access 50/1969. The signature scheme of the older files is very complicated (Fach ..., Nr. ..., Kap. ..., Tit. ..., Sect. ..., Lit. ..., lit. ...). In the case of the more recent files, this registration plan was replaced by a considerably simplified one (Dept. ... / Roman number / No. ... / Arab number /). From the middle of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century it is possible to determine an order by title (Tit.), number (No.) and volume (Vol.) for some files. For example, the following titles stood for the following file plan items:Title III: Area and border matters Title X: Forestry and police matters Title XIII: Accounting and registration matters Title XIV: Various items The new order was initially based on a 1871 registration plan for the forestry offices, although the individual subject groups were changed in order to separate the actual forestry and hunting matters from the administration. A subdivision into intermediate and sub-groups was not necessary for the time being due to the small size of the file. For this reason, some of the subject groups remained unoccupied for the time being. The classification of the find book was revised after the more recent file additions 125/2004 (now: D 6 B Böddeken no. 49 to 88), 11/1989 (now: D 6 B Böddeken no. 89-90), 50/1969 (now: D 6 B Böddeken no. 91 to 93 as well as 157 and 158) and 89/2009 (now: D 6 B B Böddeken no. 94 to 156) were listed. There was no cassation of documents - in particular the wood receipts manuals and forest culture plans - as most of the operations of the forestry office obviously remained within the authority. The file D 6 B Böddeken No. 76 contains a so-called "Chronicle of the Oberförsterei", which was kept in the years 1924 to 1974 and goes back to the year 1855 in terms of content. The file D 6 B Altenbeken No. 464 also contains a short history of the former Böddeken forestry office for the years 1820 to 1971. A group picture from 1913, probably taken in the Böddeker forest, a portrait of the head forester R., taken at Whitsun 1900 on the balcony of the Oberförsterei in Neuböddeken. of Eschwege and two portraits of the forestry officers Detmar Hüffer and Wegener from 1890 and May 1927 respectively were added to the collection D 75 (picture collection) under the signature D 75 No. 9096. Further documents of the Oberförsterei Böddeken can be found in the files D 6 C Büren. It is to be quoted after order no.: D 6 B Böddeken Detmold in 1972, 2012 and 2013 signed. Simon and Schumacher
