History of the Institute<br />In the course of the reorganization of the Academy of Sciences in 1968, the formation of larger institutes to improve interdisciplinary cooperation was aimed for and in 1969 the Central Institute for Physics of the Earth (ZIPE) was founded. It investigated the earth's body as a spinning top in the cosmos as well as physical phenomena of the earth's crust with the underlying parts of the earth's interior and conducted basic geoscientific research in the fields of geodesy and gravimetry, seismology, geophysical solid state research, geotectonics and tectonophysics. The tasks were expanded in the following years with regard to remote sensing and cartography.<br />Within the Central Institute, the Geodesic Institute Potsdam, rich in tradition, was one of the areas. Founded in 1870, the Geodetic Institute had already gained worldwide recognition through its fundamental contributions to European grade measurement and, from 1886, to international earth measurement, when it moved from Berlin to Potsdam on the Telegrafenberg in 1892. It was annexed in 1946 by an order of the Soviet Military Administration to the Academy of Sciences in Berlin. Also on the Telegrafenberg was the Geomagnetic Institute, which emerged from the Meteorological-Magnetic Observatory and was assigned to the ZIPE in 1969. Research in the field of seismology was carried out by research institutions in Jena, which were united in 1963 to form the Institute of Geophysics until their integration into ZIPE in 1969. The Geotectonic Institute in Berlin, founded in 1946 as the Institute of the Academy of Sciences, was also included in the ZIPE. The ZIPE existed until 31 December 1991.<br />On 1 January 1992 the GeoForschungszentrum was founded as a foundation under public law on the Telegrafenberg. It is active in the disciplines of Earth sciences, geodesy, geology, geophysics, mineralogy and geochemistry.<br /><br />Estate history<br />In December 1991, the archival documents of the institute to be dissolved at the end of the year and the documents handed down there were taken over from predecessor institutions. Previously, BLHA staff had inspected the existing stock, selected the archive material, sorted it and prepared it for transport. Heads and employees of the institution supported the recording of the documents, in particular by participating in the preparation of the technical documentation. It consisted of the archive of the Geodetic Institute, documents of the Geomagnetic Institute as well as documents of the ZIPE management and its departments. In addition, maps, photos, collection and library materials as well as documents were taken over by Prof. Dr. Fanselau, the long-time director of the Geomagnetic Institute.<br /><br />Abbreviations <br />AIG Association Internationale de Geodesie<br />AC General Conference<br />AG Assemblee Generale<br />AK General Conference<br />BfV Advisory Council for Surveying<br />BGC / BGK Baltic Geodetic Commission<br />CB Centralbüro<br />DAW Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin<br />DGG Deutsche Geophysikalische Gesellschaft<br />DVGG Deutsche Vereinigung für Geodäsie und Geophysik<br />EG Europäische Gradmessung<br />GB General Report<br />GD Geodetic Service Leipzig<br />GI Geodetic Institute<br />GK Grade Measurement Commission<br />GV General Assembly<br />IE International Earth Measurement<br />IRC International Research Council<br />KdT Chamber of Technology<br />LA Preußische Landesaufnahme<br />MEG Central European Grade Measurement<br />PK Permanent Commission<br />PTR Physikalisch Technische Reichsanstalt Berlin<br />RfL Reichsamt für Landesaufnahme<br />UGGI Union Geodesique et Geophysique Internationale<br />VVK Administration Surveying and Geometry and cards<br />ZB Central Office
