History of Tradition Each archive not only serves to preserve and index the business documents it has submitted, but was and is also a site of scientific evaluation and collection. Continuing the collection J 1, documents of the most varied provenance and authors of the 19th and 20th centuries are summarised here. The unprinted treatises and materials came from donations, from other holdings of the Hauptstaatsarchiv, including J 1 (Allgemeine Sammlung von undruckten Schriften zur Landesgeschichte) and E 61 (Württembergische Archivdirektion), as well as from taxes, including those of the Statistisches Landesamt and the Abteilung Landesbeschreibung. The submitted documents are left in their context and new ones are added to the inventory. Contents and Evaluation The J 2 collection contains numerous manuscripts, material collections on printed and unprinted treatises, smaller scientific estates and collections dealing with various aspects of history in Württemberg and Baden-Württemberg. Genealogical research on noble, middle-class and Israelite families is also included. Smaller scientific estates include Jakob Wille (1853-1929, historian, library director), Eugen Schneider (1854-1937, archive director), Gebhard Mehring (1864-1931, archivist), Christoph Friedrich Stälin (1805-1873,. Historian, librarian), Paul Stälin (1840-1909, historian, archive director), Friedrich Christian Franz (1751-1828, professor at the Karlsschule), Christoph Ludwig Lotter ((1774-1850, archivist), Albrecht List (1890-1914, historian), Karl Weller (1866-1943, State historian, professor), Erich König (1881-1940, professor of history), Georg Friedrich Ludwig Schönleber (1780-1847, archivist), Konrad Miller (1844-1933, geography historian), Viktor Ernst (1871-1933, historian), Adolf Rentschler (1870-1950. Pastor, genealogist), Gustav Bossert the Younger (1882-1948, church historian).

The painter Anton von Werner was born on 9 May 1843 in Frankfurt an der Oder. He belonged to the Düsseldorf School, his teachers were K. Lessing and A. Schrödter. He became famous after 1870 for his [...] paintings to glorify the Hohenzollern monarchy (e.g. Moltke in Versailles, Kaiserproklamation) [...]. In 1875 A. v. Werner became director of the Berlin Academy of Arts. His long-standing friendship with the poet J. V. v. Scheffel led him to produce illustrations for all of Scheffel's works. A. v. Werner died on 4 January 1915 in Berlin. Literature: Adolf Rosenberg: Anton von Werner in: Velhagen and Klasing's artist monographs. "Erlebnisse und Eindrücke 1870-1890" (Self Biography), Berlin 1913 The estate consists of written records and numerous drawings. For the latter a special list was made in 1951 by Mrs. L. Enders. The materials were found after the war when the archives of the former Prussian Secret State Archive and the former Reichsarchiv were transferred to the former "State Archive" in Merseburg. The documents are partly very damaged; correspondence and manuscripts are incomplete. Nothing can be determined about the origin of the stock. The annual reports of the former Prussian Secret State Archives (Rep. 178) do not mention it. A note "Lilli von Werner 1941" merely proves that he could not have reached an archive before 1941. Presumably it was outsourced during the war with the holdings of the GStA or the Reichsarchiv, without any written information having been preserved about it. Scope: 3 running meters (plus drawings) period ca. 1867-1915 Merseburg, 26 April 1960 Herricht short preliminary remark to the drawings: In April 2002, for the sake of simplicity, the drawings were re-signed according to serial numbers (starting with the fictitious number 5000) with the candidates Mrs. Gesell, Mrs. Neumann and Mr. Breitfeld. A corresponding concordance can be found at the end of this finding aid book. At the beginning of 2012, the drawings from the former number 9 (50 individual sheets) were recorded in detail and separated into separate units of description (No. 5740-5787). Among these drawings was also the missing second half of No. 5385, which were now brought together. The present overview represents a preliminary state of affairs until the pending corresponding processing of the remaining drawings has been completed.
