The Ministry of the Interior, created by the Decree of 10 October 1849, was the supreme head of the internal administration of the Land, insofar as it did not fall within the remit of other ministries or the State Ministry. The Ministry was in charge of the supervision of all local authorities and was entrusted with the management of the sovereign police force and the supervision of all police authorities and institutions. His tasks also included the handling of economic and general agricultural matters, including the regulation of property, farm and day labour relations, transport, association and press matters, the administration of roads and hydraulic engineering as well as social services. In addition, the Ministry's portfolio included citizenship matters, border and electoral matters, as well as civilian administration matters related to the military. Essentially, the business circle of the Ministry remained unchanged until 1945. It was extended in 1875 to include the civil status system. In 1905, the Ministry of Justice, Department of Education, transferred the affairs of the technical and commercial technical and further education school system from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of the Interior. During the First World War, the Ministry was responsible for controlling the food supply and the war economy, and after the war it was responsible for civilian demobilization. In 1919 the newly founded Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests (see 5.12-4/2) took over the handling of agricultural matters, including rural labour and ownership, and in 1937 also agricultural water matters. There are gaps in the file tradition. Major losses were caused by the fire in the government building in 1865. At the beginning of 1945, files from 1933 to 1945 were deliberately destroyed in the Ministry. Most of the files of the Department of Social Policy from the period after 1918 were also lost. A.

In 1849, after the introduction of the ministerial organisation, special departments were created for the tasks of the administration of worship and medicine performed by the government or its Special Department of Education (see 2.21-1). These departments were temporarily attached to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then to the Ministry of Justice as departments for educational, medical and spiritual affairs. It was not until 1919 that a special ministry was established under the above-mentioned authority name, the members of which were also individually referred to as "Ministry of Education", "Ministry of Art", "Ministry of Spiritual Affairs" and "Ministry of Medicine". The competence extended to the entire area of education administration (including the University of Rostock), the administration of art institutions, the supervision of religious communities (including the supervision of foundations and institutions for pious and mild purposes) as well as all matters of medical and health care (including veterinary matters). After the transformation of the State Ministry in 1934 (Rbl. 1935, p. 3), the Ministry was renamed "State Ministry, Department of Education, Arts, Spiritual and Medical Affairs". With the ordinance of 6 Oct. 1941 (Rbl. 1941, p. 199), the previous departments were given the designation "Science, Education and Training". At the same time the affairs of the Staatstheater, the Mecklenburgische Landesbühne and the Landestheater Neustrelitz (to the State Ministry) as well as the health service (to the State Ministry, Department of the Interior) were spun off. These changes are no longer reflected in the inventory situation. The tradition for the period 1918-1945 is partly incomplete. GENERAL REGISTRATURE A.

History of the Inventory Designer: Introduction Prehistory up to 1933 The rapid increase in car traffic after the First World War meant that road construction in Germany had to face up to these new requirements. The aim was to rapidly improve the existing road conditions and adapt them to the new requirements of increasing motorisation by extending the existing country roads and building motorways. Contemporary statistics show that in 1924 every 321st inhabitant in Germany owned a "car", while at the same time in France every 90th, in Great Britain every 71st and in the USA already every 7th inhabitant owned a car. The private German vehicle fleet in the country doubled in the years from 1923 to 1926 from 100,340 cars to 206,456. In 1933, only seven years later, almost 800,000 motor vehicles were registered in Germany. The construction of the Berlin AVUS (Automobil-Verkehrs- und Übungs-Straße) in 1921 as well as the activities of the Studiengesellschaft für Automobilstraßenbau (STUFA) played a special role, the latter in particular with regard to the extension of the existing country roads. However, the war and its consequences prevented a resumption of this discussion until the mid-twenties. With the founding of the association HAFRABA and its transition to GEZUVOR, plans for the new motorways in particular took shape, which, after the National Socialists took power, were quickly declared to be the "Führer's Roads". In the course of its work, HAFRABA drew up about 70 plans for a motorway network in Germany. The later central and territorial road construction administrations were able to profit from many results of their complex research, test series, but also from studies for the job creation of larger quantities of labour. The existing conditions with regard to the road administration in the respective sovereign jurisdiction on the one hand and the (Reich) legislator on the other, as well as the increasing blockage of road construction plans from Reich railway and financial circles, but also from the Länder and provinces, forced the necessity of a reorganisation of the road system in Germany to a certain extent, which did not take long after the seizure of power by the Hitler dictatorship. Adolf Hitler was not yet Chancellor of the Reich for two weeks when he put the construction of intersection-free motorways up for discussion in the cabinet. As early as 11 February 1933 he announced the "initiation and implementation of a generous road construction plan", with which both a modern transport system was to be created and unemployment effectively combated, but also reaped the opposition of Reichsbahn General Director Dorpmüller and Reich Finance Minister Count Schwerin von Krosigk. Nevertheless, he was determined to discuss the necessity of motorways with transport experts and leading representatives of the economy. In a conversation with HAFRABA managing director Willy Hof on 6 April 1933, he was informed in detail about the association's plans. As early as 27 June 1933, the Reich government announced, against the will of the Reichsbahn representatives, the formation of the company "Reichsautobahnen", which initially acted as a branch of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft. One day later, Hitler appointed Dr. Fritz Todt, a highly intelligent civil engineer who was loyal to the line, as "Inspector General for German Roads". With the later "Decree on the General Inspector for the German Road System" of 30.11.1933, Todt was also transferred the business area of the company "Reichsautobahnen". The decree states: "For the execution of the construction of the Reichsautobahnen ... a supreme Reich authority shall be established with its seat in Berlin, the head of which shall be given the official title of 'General Inspector for the German Road System'. He is appointed by the Reich President at the suggestion of the Reich Chancellor and reports to the Reich Chancellor. Hitler was convinced of Todt's suitability after he had read his so-called "Brauner Bericht" (Brown Report), a memorandum on "Road Construction and Road Administration", in which Todt deals with the previous conditions of road construction in Germany and formulates objectives for the time of National Socialism. The new authority had the task to organize the construction of the "Reichsautobahnen" and the maintenance of the country roads, as far as they had belonged so far to the responsibility of the Reich Minister of Transport. Legal foundations The "Gesetz über die Errichtung eines Unternehmens Reichsautobahnen" of 27 June 1933, the first ordinance of 7 August 1933 and the "Gesetz zur Änderung Gesetz über die Errichtung eines Unternehmens Reichsautobahnen" of 18 December 1933 provided the Inspector General with a foundation of powers and authority which enabled him to implement the goals set by the Reich leadership as quickly as possible. This included the right to route and design the Reich's motorways as well as the right to levy charges, the right of expropriation and the assumption of state sovereign rights over the motorways. With the "Act on the Temporary New Regulation of the Road System and the Road Administration" of 26 March 1934, the division of roads into 1st motorways, later "Reichsautobahnen", 2nd Reich roads, 3rd country roads of the 1st order, 4th country roads of the 2nd order, was also introduced. The law of the land was amended in accordance with the provisions of the first order, and further regulations were made regarding the distribution of the road construction load, the administration of the Reich roads and the country roads of the first order, the road supervisory authority, etc. A general power of attorney to the greatest extent possible was granted to the Inspector General with the formulation written down in § 1 "The Inspector General for the German Road System determines which roads are subject to the provisions of this Act and which roads have the characteristics of Imperial roads and of Land Roads I. and II. I'll give you the order." The prerequisites created by the aforementioned legal bases were very soon reflected in the structure and organisation of the office of the Inspector General for German Roads. Organization and Structure In 1934, the Inspector General's Division comprised the two major areas of responsibility, Land Roads and Reich Motorways, as well as the resulting connections to the 30 Supreme Road Authorities with 176 State Construction, Road and River Offices of the Länder and Provinces on the one hand and the 15 Supreme Construction Supervisors with 65 Construction Departments for the motorways on the other. As a result, the internal service structure was as follows: Four departments were assigned to the Inspector General for German Roads. 1. department Landstraßen (L), 2. department Administration/Administration (V), 3. department Research/Exhibition/Congress (F) 4. department Reichsautobahnen (A) Furthermore, a landscape consultant was assigned to the Inspector General. In addition to a joint press and socio-political speaker, departments L and A were each assigned 5 speakers (L1 to L5 and A1 to A5), whose fields of work extended to cooperation with the road construction authorities in the Länder and provinces and with the supreme construction managers of the motorways. After that the following (territorial) competences arose: L1: Hanover, Oldenburg, Brunswick, Westphalia, Rhine Province, Hesse-Kassel, Schaumburg-Lippe, Lippe-Detmold L2: Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg, Hohenzollern, State of Hesse, Hesse-Wiesbaden L3: Thuringia, State of Saxony, Upper Silesia, Lower Silesia, East Prussia L4: Brandenburg, Grenzmark, Pomerania, Mecklenburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Province of Saxony, Anhalt L5: General affairs of the rural road sector, special tasks Job creation Department A - Reichsautobahnen A1: Site management Stettin, Hannover, Altona, Königsberg A2: Site management Breslau, Dresden, Halle, Kassel A3: Site management Essen, Cologne, Frankfurt/Main A4: Site management Munich, Stuttgart, Nuremberg A5: Special tasks: In the summer of 1934 Todt presented his first report on the activities of his authority. An overview of the road construction authorities from 1935 under the authority of the Inspector General illustrates the striving for a strongly centralised connection of road construction tasks in Germany. After Hitler's declaration on January 30, 1937, that the German Reich had regained unrestricted sovereignty over the Deutsche Reichsbahn and that the Deutsche Reichsbahn had been converted into a pure Reich administration by the law of February 10, 1937, the Reichsautobahnen were to be given a position similar to that of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. This was done in the "Gesetz zur Neuregelung der Verhältnisse der Autobahn" of 1 July 1938 and by the "3. Verordnung zur Durchführung des Gesetz über die Errichtung eines Unternehmen 'Reichsautobahnen'" of 1 June 1938. Fritz Todt was appointed chairman of the board of the Reichsautobahnen. The offices of the company became direct Reich authorities. Thus the company Reichsautobahnen lost its character as a society. The "Führerprinzip" (leader principle) practiced in all authorities of the "Third Reich" dominated the organization of the Reich's motorways at the latest since the enactment of this law. With the rapid progress of the political and economic processes in Germany, with rearmament, with the creation of ever new political and organizational structures in the Reich territory, with the invasion of Austria and the Sudetenland, with the erection of the Westwall after the occupation of the demilitarized Rhineland and finally with the beginning and course of the war, ever new and different organizational units and focal points of work developed within the office. The supreme construction management of the Reichsautobahnen was extended by similar authorities in the occupied areas. In the construction of the Westwall from the middle of 1938 onwards, the 22 superstructure superstructure lines at the German western border were firmly integrated, after Hitler, under heavy accusations against the General Staff of the Army, had given this task to Todt without further ado - it was the hour of birth of the "Organisation Todt". It had its first seat as Abteilung West in Wiesbaden. In the files of the Inspector General for the German Road System, an interweaving of tasks with other ministries (e.g. Reich Ministry of Transport, Reich Ministry of Finance), the NSDAP as well as the cooperation with many other organisations is reflected in many ways, e.g. the National Socialist Association of German Technology (NSBDT), the German Labor Front (DAF), the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK) and the German Automobile Club (DDAC), and many others. The business distribution plan of the Inspector General of October 28, 1938 clearly expresses that the company was already at the level of political development. Directly subordinate to the Inspector General were now not only the 4 departments but also three other business areas: Research, NSDAP compounds, imperial defence and defence (cf. Fig. page XII). Fritz Todt held a number of political offices. From 1933 he was not only Inspector General for German Roads, but also Head of the Main Office for Technology of the NSDAP, 1938 he became General Plenipotentiary for the Regulation of the Construction Industry, 1940 Reich Minister for Armament and Ammunition as well as Inspector General for the Special Tasks in the Four-Year Plan, 1941 Inspector General for Water and Energy. At the height of his political career Todt died in a plane crash on 8 February 1942 near the "Führerhauptquartier" near Rastenburg/ East Prussia. Albert Speer took office on 9 February 1942. Inventory description: Inventory history The inventory summarised in inventory R 4601, General Inspector for the German Road System, consists of several parts from the former GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany. This includes around 2,300 files and almost 1,800 card index sheets from the former Central State Archives of the GDR, which were formerly kept there as holdings 46.01 and were recorded in a finding aid file, some of them with very general and inaccurate title records. The files of the holdings R 65 I to R 65 IV described below were added from the Federal Archives. Here, finding aids with precise title entries and notes on contents were available. In addition to Todt's "Brounen Denkschrift" (Brown Memorandum), the R 65 I holdings included 34 other files from US returns from 1934 to 1945, as well as files from the Building Department Wittlich 1941 (1), the Wiesbaden Department 1938-1943 (2), the Böttger 1938-1945 (11), Bonacker 1937, 1942-1944 (2), Dittrich 1926-1952 (67), Schönleben 1939-1944 (6), and supplements 1939 (1). The collection R 65 II contained 141 files of the Reichsautobahndirektion Berlin and was handed over to the Federal Archives by the Federal Minister of Transport in 1962 (official files of the Federal Archives, file no.: 3115/4, note dated 31 Jan. 1962). The inventory R 65 III was a collection of decrees of the Inspector General. The inventory R 65 IV contained personal files, of which 112 files have been catalogued and a further 12 running metres have not been catalogued. Archival evaluation and processing The inventory was indexed using the above-mentioned finding aids by entering it into the BASYS-S database of the Federal Archives for the purpose of making the finding aid data available online. A physical reception of the files did not take place due to time reasons with some exceptions. The archive signatures of the Potsdam holdings were largely retained during the indexing process, but each volume was given its own archive signature for found files with volume numbers. The signatures begin: at no. 1 for the former stock 46.01, at no. 3001 for the former stock R 65 I, at no. 4001 for the former stock R 65 II, at no. 5001 for the former stock R 65 III, at no. 10001 for the former stock R 65 IV. The 112 personal files already opened up have been newly recorded, but are not part of this finding aid book. The existing classification was largely renewed and is based both on the organizational structure of the inventory generator and on its functional responsibilities. The internal order of the files has been maintained. The inventory has already been moved from standing folders to folders.

In the course of the modernization push, which was set in motion by Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein and Karl August von Hardenberg's reform officials after Prussia's defeat against Napoleonic France, the decision was made with an audience of 16 December 1808 to abolish the traditional cabinet system in favour of independent specialist ministries and thus also to establish a Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The latter should be responsible for the commercial management of all international law transactions, i.e. the representation of the rights and interests of the Prussian state vis-à-vis other states. The ministry was responsible for embassies and consulates abroad, including the Prussian diplomatic representation in the Kingdom of Saxony in Dresden. Like all diplomatic representations, the legation of Dresden had the task of regulating diplomatic trade between Prussia and the states of the legation, which not only included the Kingdom of Saxony alone, but also included the Thuringian-Saxon and Anhalt states at times. Furthermore, the legation had to take care of the concerns and problems as well as the concerns and wishes of individuals and private institutions in interstate legal relations. The war against France in 1806/07 marked a considerable turning point in relations between Prussia and Saxony. Tensions were insurmountable, and neither state was interested in intensive diplomatic relations, since Saxony, which Napoleon elevated to kingdom status, remained loyal to France until the end of French foreign rule in 1813. During the years 1806 to 1815 diplomatic contacts between the two states were maintained, but due to the political events there was no continuous diplomatic traffic between Prussia and Saxony. In 1813 the envoy in Dresden was called back to Berlin. Only in February 1816, Baron Johann Christian Magnus von Oelssen, a Prussian envoy in Dresden, was again accredited. With the resumption of diplomatic relations after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and the peace treaty between Saxony and Prussia in May 1815, the following Prussian extraordinary envoys and authorised ministers were active: Oelssen, Baron Johann Christian Magnus of: 1816 - 1819 Jordan, Johann Ludwig of: 1819 - 1848 Canitz and Dallwitz, Julius of: 1848 - 1850 Galen, Count Ferdinand of: 1850 - 1852 Schulenburg, Count of: 1852 Redern, Count Heinrich Alexander of: 1853 - 1859 Solms - Sonnewalde, Count of: 1859 Savigny, Carl Friedrich of: 1859 -1863 Gundlach, of: 1863 Rantzau, Count Otto Karl Josias zu: 1863 - 1864 Buddenbruck, Baron of: 1864 Schulenburg-Priemern, Count Gustav of: 1864 - 1866 Landsberg-Steinfurt, Baron of: 1866 - 1867 Eichmann, Friedrich of: 1867 - 1873 Solms-Sonnewalde-Altpouch, Clemens Eberhard Theodor Graf zu: 1873 - 1878 Dönhoff, Count Otto von: 1878 - 1879 Dönhoff, Count Carl von: 1879 - 1906 Hohenlohe-Oehringen, Prince Hans zu: 1906 - 1911 (not occupied 1911/12) Bülow, Dr. Alfred von: 1912 - 1914 Schwerin, Count Ulrich Karl Wilhelm von: 1914 - 1919 (not occupied 1919) Berger, Herbert Ritter and Edler von: 1920 - 1922 Schellen, Dr. : 1922 - 1924 During the Prussian-Austrian War of 1866, in which Saxony fought on Austria's side, diplomatic relations broke off again. In June of this year, the Prussian envoy returned to Berlin, the files of the legation archive were taken to Berlin. After the peace agreement between Prussia and Saxony in October 1866, another envoy was appointed in Dresden. After 1918, the Prussian envoy in Dresden was responsible for the whole of northern Germany, to the extent that there were still diplomatic relations within Germany. On March 31, 1924, the legation was dissolved as part of general cost-cutting measures. History of the collection In addition to political correspondence with reports of the legation to the Prussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its decrees on all international and national events, the collection also includes files on a wide variety of interstate issues in Prussia's political, police-legal, military, cultural-social and economic relations with Saxony, in particular on the economic and political unification of Germany and on relations with other states. The files were transferred from the Prussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Secret State Archives in several deliveries between 1814 and 1939. For distortion, the file titles were checked, corrected if necessary and deepened with "Contains - Notes". The file group "Political Correspondence" is an exception. Here the concise title of the file - analogous to the depth of indexing of these archival documents in the other legacy documents - was left and not further intensively indexed on the basis of the diverse information in the individual correspondence. The correspondence files were sorted by place and in chronological order. In the case of collective files, the files were sorted by the first place listed. Indexing was based on the information given in the volume. In 2005, the decision was made to increase the total holdings I. HA Rep. 81 embassies (resident offices) and (general) consulates after 1807 as individual holdings of the various embassies etc. in conformity with Provenance, so that the existing archival documents can now be placed under the heading I. HA Rep. 81 Legation Dresden after 1807.

1. on the history of the map collection: the Hohenlohe Central Archives holds an important and extensive collection of printed maps from the 16th to 19th centuries, some of which date back to the 20th century. This quantity, which is unusual for a smaller archive, can be explained by the many and varied tasks of the highlohish administrations. But more than that, it is explained by the various functions and inclinations of members of the Princely House itself. Most of the cards were collected for military reasons. Several counts and princes were in high positions in foreign military services, e.g. Count Philipp von H.-Neuenstein (1550 - 1606) as general of Wilhelm v. Oraniens in Dutch services, Prince Heinrich August zu H.-Ingelfingen (1715 - 1796) as Reichsfeldmarschall and general field witness of the Franconian Imperial Circle or his son Friedrich Ludwig (1746 - 1818) as Prussian infantry general and governor of Breslau and Bay-reuth. However, maps were also produced or collected to secure and clarify sovereign rights (e.g. hunting and forestry) and territorial claims. Further reasons for the collecting activities were the geographical (travel maps: "foreign regions"), economic, scientific and educational (school maps) interests of the collectors. These varied interests also explain why the maps on hand are not limited to the area of Württemberg and Hohenlohe. Namely comparatively many maps to the German, European and international area are included. The extent of the collection could have benefited positively from the participation of the House of H.-Oehringen (old) in one of the renowned Nuremberg map publishers - the "Homännische Officin" or the "Homännische Erben". A good half of the cards come from this publisher. The temporal emphasis lies in the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. From the middle of the 19th century onwards, the collection became considerably thinner, but with individual specimens it reached as far back as the 1960s. Either cards have been purchased less since the 1850s or are still in use by the respective princely administrations. War losses or wear and tear can also be expected. The political caesura of 1806 does not play a decisive role in connection with the collecting activity. The changed tasks of the princely houses from the middle of the 19th century onwards. All in all, the collection of maps documents the broad political and cultural interest and significance of the House of Hohenlohe during the period in which the collection was created. It is to be assumed that map collections were built up in various Hohenlohe houses and also kept in the castles concerned, mostly probably in the library. With the relocation of all Hohenlohe archives to Neuenstein, the printed maps from the various castles were transferred to the Hohenlohe Central Archives. Here they were combined to a stock of printed maps. The origin of the maps was not considered to be significant and as a rule was not documented in any way. This must have taken place immediately after the end of the war, since in 1951 a list-like inventory of the holdings was already available. In the course of the relocation of the various line archives to Neuenstein, over 3100 printed maps gradually came together. 2. on the history of the collection and its processing: during the first provisional processing, the compilation of a list under the Princely Archivist Karl Schumm in 1951, the majority of the maps already available at that time were combined to form a complete collection, as already mentioned, without regard to provenance and ownership. The machining was carried out according to the numerus currensprinciple. The order was based on an alpha-betic ranking by country, region and place names and the geographical classification was based on superficial aspects. Often, in the course of the order, map connections were torn apart and even maps from outside the stock - hand-drawn - were included in the list. The signatures were assigned according to the geo-graphical classification. The signature consisted of a capital letter (W for world maps, E for European maps and D for German maps) and a sequential number. For example, a European map has the signature "E 80" or a map of Germany "D 46". In the case of sequences, lower-case letters have been added after the number, for example in the case of a map of France: "E 206 a - cc". Some war cards were provided with Roman numerals, e.g. a card of Hungary with "K X/ 161". This type of signature assignment was not very useful for appropriate use. Cards were often difficult to find. A careful revision of the map collection was urgently needed, especially as several printed maps that had been added later were not taken into account. However, it was no longer possible to reconstruct original provenances, as there is no indication of their origin from the various archives. With the exception of one group (H.-Kirchberg: "Sch[rank], T[isch] or F[ach], Sch[ublade]"), the old signatures do not provide any reliable information about the provenance. The pre-signatures were probably already assigned at the time the maps were purchased. They are divided into groups according to simple number assignment ("131", "No. 131", "1311/2" or "Nro 131"), according to combinations with upper and lower case letters and numbers ("Dd x S.138"), according to combinations with Roman and Arabic numerals and letters ("II M. 10" or "605 R. I") or according to locature (H.-Kirchberg: "S. 642, T. 2, Sch. 3"). For many cards several signatures were assigned. They point to older resistance structures. A few maps and atlases, the origin of which could be clearly determined, were removed from the holdings for ownership reasons and returned to the relevant line archives. The main part of the maps is probably of h.-kirchberg origin, enriched with a considerable number of maps of the Dutch/Belgian area from probably Württemberg-neuenstädtisches Besitz (h.-kirchberg heritage). The remainder of the maps, which could not be defined more precisely, was distributed among the various other line archives. 22 drawers, 92 cartons/boxes with approx. 31/2 linear metres of shelving, 59 rolled maps, 38 volumes and booklets and 4 folders were first viewed prior to drawing. For technical reasons, the cards were first taken from the cupboard drawers, then the pieces stored in cartons or boxes, and finally the volumes on the shelves were recorded according to the numerus-current-principle. In the process, hand-drawn maps, pictures, construction plans and printed maps from the archives of Langenburg, Waldenburg and Öhringen were also noticed. They were separated and recorded for a later inventory or supplementation of the inventory of hand-drawn maps. Apart from a small group of atlases and military maps, the remaining printed maps still found in the Hohenlohe Central Archives are mainly field, forest and surveying maps from the archives of Langenburg, Waldenburg and Öhringen. They, too, were not included in the inventory of printed maps, but were prepared for their own holdings, and once all the maps had been indexed, a classification for the holdings had to be established. For practical reasons and in order to facilitate access for users, the breakdown was mainly geographical. An order by subject would have led to greater opacity due to the size and nature of the maps. The map collection is divided into thirteen categories. It is progressed from the large to the small space: World; continents without Europe, with subitems Africa, America, Asia and Australia/Oceania; Europe, with subdivision into individual, non-German countries; and the area Germany and former German Empire, with subdivision into individual territories and regions. Headings 7 to 13 include maps that cannot be clearly allocated geographically (transnational theatres of war), special areas (field maps, city maps, canals, natural phenomena) or the category "Other". Compromises had to be made with the classification in order to arrange the stock according to modern geographical criteria. With the exception of a Russian atlas with European and Chinese territories [No. 7], the classification into world and continental maps could be carried out without complications. It was more difficult to classify the continent of Europe and European countries. Two problem areas stood in the way of simple, uniform processing. On the one hand, the grouping of maps that span space and countries or of maps with two or more different representations on one sheet; on the other hand, the allocation of maps with changed historical spaces. The classification of map sheets with several representations was problem-free again. They were sorted by the larger geographical area. For example, a map showing Europe on the front and the German Empire on the back was assigned to the group Europe [No. 65]. The transnational maps were more problematic. Thus a subgroup "Alps" had to be formed immediately with the first division of the individual European countries. It comprises the maps of the French-Italian-Swiss and the German-Swiss-Austrian border regions, but without the group of maps of the narrower region of the Swiss-Austrian Alps, which were assigned to the categories "Switzerland" and "Austrian Hereditary Lands". The group "Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg" did not simply fit into a given scheme in terms of both spatial and historical classification. The Belgian-Luxembourg region changed its political affiliation several times during the period under study, from about 1660 to 1840: the Spanish Netherlands until 1715, then the Austrian Netherlands, French during the revolutionary period, the Kingdom of the United Netherlands from 1815 to 1830, and only then the Kingdom of Belgium. With some justification, the maps could also have been assigned to a group 'Spain', the division 'Germany and Central Europe' with the subgroup 'Austrian Hereditary Lands' or 'France' if there were no overlaps with the area of the narrower Netherlands [Republic of the United Netherlands, Kingdom of the Netherlands]. Thus, the maps relating to the Belgian and Dutch regions could only be formed into a separate group according to modern geographical, historically inaccurate aspects. France, which had historically and geographically undergone relatively continuous development, could be divided into the sub-groups of France as a whole and individual regions, including areas whose political affiliation was not entirely clear and only later belonged definitively to France, such as Lorraine, Alsace, Corsica, Savoy and Nice. Note swert is with this group the first topographical atlas of France [No. 138] by Cassini, of which 108 of altogether 175 sheets are available in the copy kept here. The subgroup "Territories of France" was first created alphabetically and then chronologically. The situation was similar with the area of Italy, which was treated as a single area and could also be divided into the categories of Italy as a whole and individual territories according to modern political-geographical aspects, including the archipelago of Malta. More extensive measures had to be taken in the Western European areas. Great Britain and Ireland as well as Spain and Portugal with Gibraltar in their overall representation were mostly depicted on a map sheet. Therefore a division into the groups "Great Britain and Ireland" and "Iberian Peninsula" was appropriate. The area of Eastern and Southeastern Europe posed problems because the territorial affiliations and borders permanently changed during the period from about 1650 to 1880. From the temporary affiliation of the Duchies of Kurland and Livonia and the permanent affiliation of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to the Kingdom of Poland, for example, the maps of this area were merged into the section "Poland and Baltic Countries". Because of the political changes, in particular the partition of Poland, compromises had to be made. Thus a general division "Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania" was formed, which covers the greater area as a whole. The great "Carte de la Pologne" [No. 230] from 1772 by Rizzi-Zannoni should be mentioned as a rarity. However, in order to do justice to the political vicissitudes in terms of the size of the cards, two further subgroups were formed. The "Baltic Duchies" section linked the above-mentioned duchies with the Duchy of Estonia, which was ethnically and geographically but not politically part of the Polish-Lithuanian area. The classification of the map group "Kingdom of Galicia" was more difficult. For historical reasons it could have been added to the 'Österreichische Erblande' division by accepting the fragmentation of the geographical context. In order to reach a reasonable compromise, however, it was assigned to the Polish area as a separate group. More difficult was the treatment of the cards of the Russian Empire. A structure that would have corresponded to the given order was only possible with restrictions. Russia, which stretches with large parts of its area over Asia, could just as well have been assigned to this division. However, since the country's focus was and is in Europe, the "Russia" group could be integrated into the group of European countries. The classification of the maps surrounding the Ottoman Empire [Turkey] and the neighbouring regions proved to be an almost insoluble task: in addition to maps of the Ottoman Empire, which was divided into a European and an Asian part, there are a number of map sets in this group representing the Russian-Turkish-Austrian theatres of war of the 18th and early 19th centuries on the Balkans and in the northern Black Sea regions. In addition there are maps with overlaps of the different southeast European territories from this time. Compromises had to be accepted in this area in order not to tear up map connections. Thus, in order to cover the whole area, a division "Southeast Europe, Black Sea and Asia Minor" was formed, divided into four sub-groups: the group "Balkans and Greece" is composed of the various South Slavic, Romanian and Greek territories and Danube maps, the second group comprises "Hungary (with Transylvania)"], the third group "Turkey (Ottoman Empire)" and the fourth group "Several Countries" [04.11.04.] as a collection basin of maps which cannot be clearly assigned, consisting of maps of the theatres of war in the Balkans and Black Sea region and of maps of the southern Russian-Ukrainian rivers. Maps of the Crimea/Tauria were, if they are not part of the war theatre maps, classified in the category Russia. The Nordic states with their provinces, on the other hand, could be uniformly included in the Greater Scandinavia area, especially as several of the countries were each depicted on one sheet. The same procedure was followed for the "Switzerland" group. The "Atlas Suisse" [No. 280], which was split up into individual maps and registered individually, could be merged, making it somewhat easier to classify the maps into "Germany and Central Europe" and "Territories and Parts of Germany". Here, too, compromises had to be made between political-geographical classification and historical affiliation. Should maps, which today represent non-German countries, be integrated into the group of European countries or into the German territories? And should maps, e.g. of the Reich circles, which covered several territories, be formed as a separate group or not? The classification was carried out primarily according to historical-geographical aspects, since a classification under modern political aspects would not have corresponded in any way to the map statements. The structure was based on a mixture of regional areas and Histo-rical territories, with the maps of the Imperial circles being classified according to the categories of the respective regions. The maps assigned to the category "Germany" essentially cover the territory of the old German Reich, partly in sections (atlas fragments), according to a relatively clear order pattern, while the category "Territories of Germany" again demanded greater concessions. The structure of the "Bayern" group was simple. It includes only the territory of the Duchy, the Electorate and the Kingdom of Bavaria. Here you can find the oldest maps in the collection, the "Bavarian Land Tables" by Phillipp Appian from the year 1568 [No. 379 and 380]. "Bohemia and Moravia" was designated as a separate map group due to the extent of the maps and the important role as territory of the German Empire [Kingdom, Electorate], with different atlases and map series of both areas. The groups of the "Franconian Territories" and of "Hesse" could be classified according to uniform principles. They contain interesting maps and map sets of the margraviate Ansbach [No. 423 - 428] and contemporary map sets of the theater of war Hessen during the Seven Years' War [No. 457 and 458] from 1761, the latter by Carlet de la Rozière, adjutant of the French commander-in-chief, Marshal Broglie. For the special documentation of the domestic area, a separate map group "Hohenlohe" was highlighted and separated from the group of Franconian and southwest German maps. Particularly noteworthy are the land tables of the regions around Langenburg and Kirchberg from the first half of the 17th century [no. 472 - 475] and the complete representations of Hohenlohe by Schapuzet and Hammer from the second half of the 18th and at the beginning of the 19th century [no. 477 - 482]. The section "Northern Germany" comprises all maps of the Lower Saxon-North-Elbian area with two atlases of Mecklenburg-Strelitz [No. 499] and Mecklenburg-Schwerin [No. 501] by Count v. Schmettau from the 1780s. With the group "Österreichische Erblande" it had to be decided whether one summarized all maps of the Austrian monarchy or, as here because of the extent and the kind of the maps, divided into the individual partial realms and/or Erblande. Only maps of the narrower area [Austrian Imperial Circle, territory of present-day Austria] were included in this category, with the exception of representations of the entire monarchy. It is worth mentioning the Atlas [Kartenwerk] Tirol by Peter Anich and Blasius Hueber from the year 1774 [No. 509]. The situation was similar with the maps of the Prussian monarchy. Here, too, the groups had to be divided in order to avoid spatial and cartographic separations. The section "Pomerania" also contains maps with representations of Swedish-Vorpommern, the group "Silesia" stretches from the Austrian epoch to the end of the German Reich, with an atlas of the Silesian part principalities from the 1730s to the 1750s [no. 648, 649 and 658], war maps of the Silesian wars and maps reaching into the 1940s. The main group of the "Prussian States" comprises all other maps, from representations of the entire monarchy to individual districts, with maps of East and West Prussia [No. 548 and 555] and a "Special Map" of South Prussia by the Prussian court architect David Gilly from the years 1802/1803 [No. 552 - 554]. The formation of the division "Rhine (with adjoining countries)" took place under the compromise to unite river maps of the Rhine, maps of the Rhine area [Upper, Lower and Kurrhein] and war maps, which carry the title Rhine, but extend over a far larger area, into a comprehensible group. During the processing, torn map sets could be assembled, such as the war theatre map 1794 by Dewarat [No. 605] or the current measurement maps of the Palatinate-Bavarian Upper Rhine Inspector Wiebeking at the end of the 18th century [No. 608 and 612]. The area "Saxony" was structured under clear aspects, including the maps of the Obersächsischen Reichskreis (with Prussian territories) for reasons of uniformity. To be mentioned here are the map sets of the Erzgebirgskreis of the Prussian major v. Petri [No. 630], the individual representations of the Obersächsischer Kreis in eight boxes by Peter Schenk [No. 623], the complete depiction of the Wettiner Lande of the Frankfurt cartographer Johann Wilhelm Abraham Jäger [No. 634] and of the war theatre map of the Seven Years' War of the Saxon captain Backenberg [No. 641]. In order to do justice to the caesura of the years 1803, 1806 and 1810 with their political and territorial changes, the maps of the Swabian-Alemannic and the today Baden-Wuerttemberg area were combined to a unified group "Southwest Germany". Worth mentioning are the "Charte von Schwaben/Württemberg" [No. 681 and 682] by Amann and the Tübingen mathematician and astronomer Bohnenberger as the first attempt of surveying the state, ca. 1796 to 1810, the "Topographische Atlas des Königreichs Würt-temberg" [No. 695 - 697] of the Landesaufnahme from 1821 to 1851 and the forerunner maps of the Historical Atlas of Baden-Württemberg, the "Generalkarte von Württemberg" by Bach [No. 707] and "Der deutsche Südwesten am Ende des alten Reiches" [No. 714] by Erwin Hölzle, 1938 "Thüringen" could be sorted uniformly according to territories, the last section of the "Territories of Germany", the group "Westfalen", was formed again according to compromise aspects, since the range of representation often went beyond the mentioned space of the title, as with the war maps of Dezauche, 1797 [No. 743] and of le Coq, 1804 [No. 744]. The rest of the maps are distributed among the categories 7 to 13. In the group of "transnational theatres of war" all the war maps were classified which cannot be assigned to a fixed geographical area, like the maps of the Seven Years' War, with all battlefields and theatres of war, of the Prussian Colonel Friedrich Wilhelm v. Baur [No. 747 - 749] and the Prime Lieutenant J. v. Saint Paul [No. 763] or the Atlas of Revolutionary Wars [No. 760] of the Swiss General in French and Russian service, Baron Henri v. Jomini. For reasons of determination and provenance, the corridor maps in the inventory were not assigned to the general corridor map collection, but form a separate group. "City maps", "canal constructions" such as the old Rhine-Main-Danube canal, "natural phenomena" such as the solar eclipse of 1706, "statistics" and "miscellaneous", with copper printing plates to the Hohenlohe land plates [no. 853: to no. 473 - 475] and the Hohenlohe map by C. F. Hammer [no. 860: to no. 481] formed the end of the collection.The final signatures have been assigned according to the following criteria: with single numbering, for sets of cards with continuation cards with oblique stroke after the signature, such as "208/1" or "229/1 - 4", and for double or multiple deliveries with indication of the copies, such as the Weikersheim card "476 (4 copies)". The type of storage depends on the conditions of the cartons. There are four types of bearing supports. They are recognizable by their signature: the usual plan storage in drawers is not particularly emphasized. Then there is rolled card ["(rolled)"] and shelf storage of volumes or books ["(tape)"] and cards in boxes ["(carton)"]. Combinations between storage type and card sequences in the signatures occur frequently, such as "296/1 (2 copies)" or "209/1 - 4 (carton)". The indexing was comparatively intensive according to the historical value of the maps. As a rule, the title recordings contain the following information: The title is usually taken over in the original wording, in abbreviated form in the case of excess length. In the absence of a title, a separate version was created describing the theme and area of the map. In the case of non-German, ancient titles or titles deviating from the representation, the German spelling or the spelling customary today is adopted in square brackets [ ]. The area of the map representation is described according to three patterns: Sections refer to the map margin (left-right, top-bottom), sections to prominent vertices and locations at the map margin, and areas to imaginary radii of prominent points or locations. For some cards, the type of card sequence they belong to is also included in the title. The cartographers were indicated, if noted on the map, with their professional title or function as author/cartographer, publisher, editor, draughtsman, engraver, copywriter, printer, etc. In the description of the map design, the edition, the copy number (for multiple copies), the type of map (print, lithography or [copper] engraving) and the type of colouring are given, if given, whereby the majority of the maps are only partially coloured. Boundary lines were dyed in various colors by hand until the beginning of the 19th century. The areas and territories indicated in the title are flat, places are usually colored red or orange, the border areas of the map remain predominantly uncolored. The scale of almost all maps - even without the original scale - was converted into the metric fracture system common today, with the exception of sonar maps and atlases with very different maps. Place and year of publication are generally recorded, in some cases with multiple citation; in case of uncertain assignment the place of origin is indicated in square brackets, in case of missing time indication the presumed period ([um...] or [after...]) is also indicated in square brackets. The old signatures, as far as verifiable, have all been included in the order in which they were listed, with the signatures that Karl Schumm included in his list being the last to be mentioned. The map dimensions (width x height) refer to the actual map display, the dimensions of the sheet cut (outer frame) are shown in brackets. The cartographic type is divided into three categories (thematic, topographic or physical map). Maps dating from before the beginning of the 19th century often cannot be clearly assigned and are given in mixed forms for better identification. This is followed by basic information on the map display, such as the transport network, topography, form of settlement, political division or war events on military maps. In the case of sets or works of cards, the main title is given, the sheet number, if any, and the function of the card (title or continuation sheet). Finally, the intended use of the map is indicated, e.g. as a political, military, school or traffic map. In the remarks, the original scale or scales, the division according to longitude and latitude, as far as they were available, or the meridian grid were mentioned, usually the meridian designated here as the "old Parisian meridian" (fixed in Paris in 1613, with zero meridian by the island Ferro = Hierro/Canaries). In case of deviation from the usual northing of the map, the corresponding orientation according to the direction of the compass was specifically mentioned. Other conspicuous elements of the map presentation, such as the artistic design of the title, scale or dedication templates in allegorical form, the details of troop positions or siege rings, of coat-of-arms representations, explanations, dedications, more precise details of the political division, handwritten notes and other special features, were included at the end of the list.The final indexing and creation of the present holdings by the undersigned was carried out within the framework of the project "Indexing of the printed maps of the Hohenlohe Central Archives" sponsored by the Kulturgutstiftung in the period from 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2000. 1382 title records for approx. 3060 maps in 33 drawers, 59 rolled maps, 92 maps in boxes/cartons and 38 volumes (approx. 4.5 linear metres of shelving) were included in the holdings, which received the designation "Hohenlohe Central Archives: Printed maps". A supplementary use of the map holdings of the line archives of the holdings of the hand-drawn maps of the Hohenlohe Central Archives may make sense under certain circumstances. 3. an explanation of the structure of the title recordings: All maps are described in the present finding aid book according to the following scheme in the indicated order:Order signature - Order numberTitle of the map (as quotation) or indication of the map contentKarthograph and other persons involved in the creation of the mapEngineering stage, edition, execution of the mapScaleEngineering place Further formal descriptionRemarksPre-signaturesEngineering time

History of the Inventory Designer: 1872 Establishment of the Imperial Statistical Office by the Imperial Chancellor with the issue of a business instruction by the Imperial Chancellor, first subordinated to the Imperial Chancellery, since 1879 to the Imperial Office of the Interior and since 1918 with simultaneous renaming into the Imperial Statistical Office to the Imperial Ministry of Economics, 1934 Merger with the Prussian Statistical Office The task of the Office was the collection of material for Imperial Statistics, its technical and scientific examination, processing and publication, expert reporting on statistical issues. Inventory description: Inventory history Due to the effects of war and the collapse of the German Reich, the records of the Reich Statistical Office suffered heavy losses. At the Berlin headquarters in the Neue Königstraße, parts of the statistical material were destroyed during bomb attacks in May 1945. During the demolition of the building in 1945, the central registry was completely destroyed and approximately 10 of the 200,000 volumes of the library were lost. In the years 1943/44 several departments or departments with their written material had been moved to alternative locations. Much of the material that remained in the territories later occupied by Soviet troops was destroyed, while others were sent to the then Central State Archive in Potsdam. In April, the Dargun and Weimar branches were able to bring important material to Schwerin, from where the staff of the Reich Statistical Office there were able to flee to Hamburg at the end of April with parts of the documents in Schwerin. In Schwerin the original material of industrial production statistics and the mass of price statistics documents fell into Russian hands. The parts of the tax statistics that had been moved to Wernigerode were transported to Derenburg in Hesse before the retreat of the American troops. The stocks brought to Würzburg suffered losses due to bomb damage; the remaining documents were preserved. After 1945, the stock that had been relocated to the western occupation zones and the fragments of the traditions rescued from the Soviet occupation zone were concentrated in three places: 1. in the British occupation zone in the Statistical Office in Hamburg and Minden 2. and in the American occupation zone in the Ministerial Collecting Center in Fürstenhagen near Kassel; from there larger parts were brought to the USA 3. in the French occupation zone in the Office for Statistics and Economic Development in Baden-Baden. Essentially, the documents that fell into the hands of the Western occupying powers at the time were sent to the Federal Archives via the American Document Center in Berlin, the Federal Statistical Office or the USA. Archival evaluation and processing The successive transfer of parts of the collection from the Reich Statistical Office to the Federal Archives has led to a gradual recording of the holdings. The documents on the excise tax statistics, which came to the Federal Archives in 1952 with written documents from other American departments, were indexed in a finding aid book. The material returned from Alexandria in 1958 was provisionally developed in 1959. After a return of the files from the Berlin Document Center in 1962 and further splinter deliveries, a provisional completion of the indexing could be achieved in 1968. All the documents of the Statistical Office of the Reich that had entered the Federal Archives were indexed by a index of finds, whereby parts of the material recorded in the index of consumption statistics were re-signed. The publications of the Statistisches Reichsamt available in the Budnesarchiv at that time were recorded in a second index. Later, the Federal Statistical Office, in particular, was able to adopt further documents from agricultural statistics, industrial production statistics and the Reich Office for Defense Economic Planning and social statistics. Further exhibitor provenances were incorporated from the traditions of the Reichsnährstand and the Reichsstelle für Raumordnung which had been passed on to the Federal Archives. In addition, the Imperial War Museum in London handed over to the Federal Archives some relevant documents of small volume. In the winter of 1975, these additions were also incorporated into the inventory.
