History of tradition History of the authorities Born from the idea of enlightenment and the doctrine of humanity, the social situation of the peasantry, to which the majority of the population belonged, was also to be raised in Hohenzollern. Thaer's teaching on more rational cultivation and the chemical research results of Justus von Liebig in agriculture and animal nutrition made it possible to put this endeavour to intensify agriculture into practice. In Hohenzollern, the "backward peasants" were officially taken care of, and they joined together in agricultural associations. The spread of the liberalist idea - to generate profit and spend more money on the mechanization of agriculture - made it necessary to unite the peasants. The farmer should not cultivate the field by hand alone, he should manage his farm as a business economist with consideration and calculation and thus he was made in those days from farmer to farmer. In 1841, the farmers' associations that had opened up in the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen merged to form the "Verein zur Beförderung der Landwirtschaft und Gewerbe in Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen". By sovereign decree of 02 April 1841 (Collection of Laws Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen Vol. VI, p. 14) the statutes of the association became legally binding. The purpose of the association was: "For the purpose of the revival and spreading of the agricultural and commercial industry and for the promotion of economic prosperity in general". His main tasks were: Arable farming, meadow farming, fruit growing, horticulture, forestry and livestock breeding. Furthermore, the association tried to find the trades that had the closest connection to the agricultural enterprises, such as breweries and distilleries. On the other hand, it promoted non-profit economic institutions and enterprises, such as community baking ovens, etc. A central office of the Association for Agriculture and Trade was established as a link between the government and the farming community. Three district offices stood under this central office as the actual executive and effective organs. The district of the first district office comprised the offices of Sigmaringen, Ostrach, Wald and Achberg. The second district included the offices of Gammertingen, Strassberg and Trochtelfingen, while the third district was established for the offices of Haigerloch and Glatt. The said statute of 02.04.1841 determines in § 4 ff. the composition and the tasks of the central office. The central office, as the leading authority of the whole, has its seat in Sigmaringen and consists of at least 9 members to be appointed by the Reigning Prince for a period of 3 years each, from which the Board and its deputies are appointed by equal appointment. The central office was the organ through which, on the one hand, the government negotiated with the district associations. On the other hand, requests, requests from clubs to the government. In addition to managing the general affairs of the association, the sphere of activity of the central office included: 1. the editing of the Association Gazette 2. correspondence with foreign associations and institutions, insofar as this was the association as a whole. 3 With the approval of the supreme state authority, the Central Office was able to distribute contributions from the State Treasury for the purposes of the Association. 4. to supervise all the institutions of the Association; 5. to draw up and publish their own annual accounts; 6. to arrange agricultural feasts with the cooperation of the District Office concerned after obtaining the highest prior approval; 7. to distribute prizes and premiums for those items which could not be taken into account by the District Associations, or to receive such prizes for direct distribution from the funds of the Central Office; 7. to take over such prizes from the funds of the Central Office; 4. to supervise all the institutions of the Association; 4. to supervise all the institutions of the Association; 7. to prepare and publish their own annual accounts; 7. to distribute prizes and premiums for those items which could not be taken into account by the District Associations, or to take over such prizes for direct distribution from the funds of the Central Office; 4. to supervise all the institutions of the Association; 4. to supervise the institutions of the Association; 4. to supervise the institutions of the Association; 4. to supervise the Association; 4. to supervise the Association; 6. to publish their own annual accounts; 7. After the Hohenz. Land in the Kingdom of Prussia had merged, the association revived in 1852. By order of the royal Prussian government to Sigmaringen of 18.08.1853 the association was extended on whole Hohenzollern. In the Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen only private agricultural associations existed until 1848, which were financially supported by the sovereign. When the new association was founded, the management of the entire association remained in the hands of the central office. It consisted of elected and appointed members. After the new company was founded, the central office was divided into a department for agriculture and forestry and a department for trade and industry. With the expansion of the association to the whole of Hohenzollern, a new division of territory had become necessary and a new district association was founded for the district of Hechingen. The Strassberg Upper Administrative District was separated from the second Gammertingen-Trochtelfingen District Association and assigned to the Sigmaringen-Wald-Ostrach Upper Administrative District Association. Further district associations were formed in 1872, 1873 and 1875 for the district of the former Glatt upper office, for the Achberg municipal district and for the Ostrach upper office district with the municipalities Kalkreute, Habsthal and Rosna. The association as a whole used the "Mitteilungen zur Beförderung der Landwirtschaft und der Gewerbe" (Mitteilungen zur Beförderung der Landwirtschaft und der Gewerbe, published since 1841) as a publication medium. In addition, annual "annual reports" of the association followed. The central office of the Association for Agriculture and Trade was replaced by the Chamber of Agriculture. In order to safeguard the overall interests of agriculture and forestry, a chamber was also established in Hohenzollern on the basis of the Prussian Law on the Chambers of Agriculture of 30.06.1894, by ordinance of 06.03.1922 (G.S. p. 55). These agricultural chambers were replaced in 1933 by the "Reichsnährstand" and were only rebuilt after the collapse in 1946. The files of the "Zentralstelle des Vereins für Landwirtschaft und Gewerbe in Hohenzollern" (Central Office of the Association for Agriculture and Trade in Hohenzollern) remained as old registry with the following authorities. It was not until 1950 that the files, insofar as they still existed, were taken over by the Sigmaringen State Archives (Acc. Jour. 1950 No. 10) and set up as holdings Ho 420 "Zentralstelle des Vereins für Landwirtschaf und Gewerbe in Hohenzollern". This list was drawn up according to the old registry signatures. Due to a lack of numbers in the individual subject areas, the files concerned are often housed in the following subject area. The "Zentralstelle" also had an extensive specialist library. We have an exact list of the books from 1876 in the catalogue published by H. Grube in 1877. The library was fragmented after the political collapse in 1945. In 1951, the holdings were sorted, repertorised and packaged and magazined by K. Herzog, an employee of the State Archives. In the course of the standardization of the repertory writings of the State Archives, the repertory, which was still written by hand in 1951, was revised by Government Inspector Kungl and the fair copy was brought into its current form by the employee Mrs. Kalkuhl.

History of Tradition Preliminary Remark By the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 25. February 1803 came the imperial city Biberach and the area of the hospital Biberach with the places Ahlen, Attenweiler, Bergerhausen, Birkendorf, Höfen, Ingerkingen, Laupertshausen, Muttensweiler, Volkersheim then partly Röhrwangen, Warthausen, Winterreute, Ummendorf, Baltringen, 1/3 of Baustetten, Burgrieden and Oberholzheim an Baden, which built out of it a Biberach upper bailiwick assigned to the "upper principality", which divided into the Ratsvogtei (town bailiwick) and the Vogteiamt (official bailiwick). The immediate imperial counties of Metternich-Ochsenhausen, Törring-Gutenzell, Waldbott-Bassenheim-Heggbach and partly Wartemberg-Rot and Sternberg-Schussenried were formed from the area of the Köster, as far as they belonged to the district, and the possessions of the Salem monastery were assigned to the Prince of Thurn und Taxis. The Rhenish Federal Act of 12 July 1806 brought the city of Biberach and the area of the hospital to Württemberg and the immediate imperial counties under Württemberg sovereignty, but the dominions of Erolzheim and Kellmünz on the Iller under Bavarian sovereignty. Through the state treaty with Bavaria, the left bank of the Iller became Württemberg again. According to the State Manual of 1807 and 1808, the following villages and hamlets belonged to the Oberamt Biberach: Biberach, Ahlen, Attenweiler, Aufhofen, Baltringen, Baustetten, Bühl, Bihlafingen, Bergerhausen, Birkendorf, Bronnen, Burgrieden, Donaustetten, Dorndorf, Hagenbuch, Häusern, Höfen, Holzheim, Hüttisheim, Ingerkingen, Laupertshausen, Muttensweiler, Obersulmetingen, Rißegg, Röhrwangen, Steinberg, Stetten a. d. Rottum, Unterweiler, Volkersheim, Westerflach, Wiblingen, Winterreute. In addition, the following were subordinate to the Oberamt: the patrimonial offices Achstetten, Bußmannshausen, Ellmannshausen, Hürbel, Groß- und Kleinlaupheim and Mittelbiberach and the patrimonial superior servant offices Heggbach, Schemmerberg, Sulmingen and Mistingen and Warthausen. After the abolition of the patrimonial offices (1809) the upper office Ochsenhausen was formed with the places Ochsenhausen, Bellamont, Berkheim, Erlenmoos, Gutenzell, Haslach, Horn-Fischbach, Hummertsried, Hürbel, Kirchberg, Kirchdorf, Maselheim, Edenbachen, Reinstetten, Ringschnait, Rot, Schönebürg, Spindelwag, Steinbach, Tannheim and Ummendorf. The newly created lower office Wiblingen with the villages Wiblingen, Aufhofen, Bihlafingen, Bronnen, Bühl, Donaustetten, Dorndorf, Hüttisheim, Steinberg, Stetten an der Rottum, Unterweiler and the Burgvogtei Illerrieden was subordinated to the upper office Biberach. Already after one year the upper office Ochsenhausen was abolished by the organization manifesto of 27 October 1810 again and subordinated as lower office to the upper office Biberach. At the same time the lower office Wiblingen was raised to a higher office. After these extensive changes, which placed the upper office administratively under the control of the 11th Landvogtei, the "an der Donau", with seat in Ulm, the following municipalities belonged to the upper office Biberach: Biberach, Äpfingen, Ahlen, Altheim, Aßmannshardt, Attenweiler, Aufhofen, Bellament, Bergerhausen, Birkendorf, Birkenhard, Erlenmoos, Erolzheim, Füramoos, Gutenzell, Grodt, Höfen, Hürbel, Ingerkingen, Kirchberg an der Iller, Langenschemmern, Laupertshausen, Maselheim, Mettenberg, Mittelbiberach, Mittelbuch, Muttensweiler, Obersulmetingen, Ochsenhausen, Reinstetten, Reute, Ringschnait, Rißegg, Rottum, Schemmerberg, Steinhausen an der Rottum, Ummendorf, Unterdettingen, Untersulmetingen, Volkersheim, Warthausen, as well as the Thurn und Taxissche Amtsgericht and Amt Obersulmetingen. The Unteramt Ochsenhausen was abolished, like all Unterämter in Württemberg, by the II. organization edict over the Oberamtsverfassung of 31 December 1818. By the law about the change of the upper office districts from 6 July 1842 Alberweiler came from the upper office Ehingen and Stafflangen from the upper office Waldsee to the upper office Biberach. The following reunions were carried out: 1836 a clean-up in the area of the communities Dietmanns and Unterschwarzach, 1844 Winterreute from Ummendorf to Ringschnait, 1846 conversion from Hauerz to Ellwangen, 1854 the Glaserhof from Gutenzell to Oberbalzheim, 1861 the wood mill from Burgrieden to Oberholzheim, 1864 Westerflach from Ingerkingen to Untersulmetingen, 1933 the Halbertshof from Wain to Unterbalzheim, 1933 Ziegolz from Dietmanns to Unterschwarzach, 1933 the book from Steinach (today Kr. Ravensburg) to Mühlhausen, 1951 Rindenmoos from Reute to Rißegg. The following incorporation took place: 1864 Birkendorf into the town of Biberach 1934 Bergerhausen into the town of Biberach 1934 Gemeinde Oberdorf into Mittelbiberach, which had replaced it in 1899, 1935 Gemeinde Hummertsried into Mühlhausen. Steinhausen was connected to Schussenried until 1892. Laupheim became a town in 1869, Schussenried in 1947 and Ochsenhausen in 1950. According to the law of 25 April on the division of the territory, the district of Biberach comprises all the municipalities of the former Oberamtsbezirk with the exception of Volkersheim, which was transferred to the Ehingen district administration; it received the municipalities from the Laupheim district: Achstetten, Altheim, Baltringen, Baustetten, Bihlafingen, Bronnen, Bühl, Burgrieden, Bußmannshausen, Großschafhausen, Laupheim, Mietingen, Oberbalzheim, Oberholzheim, Orsenhausen, Rot v.

The files listed below were handed over to the Sigmaringen State Archives by the Biberach/Riß District Office on 9 November 1948, 4 February 1949, 3 October 1958 and 24 August 1959. The 1948 and 1949 deliveries were already set up in May 1949 in the State Archives according to the principle of provenance. The 1959 Accession was exclusively for steam boiler files, which were further expanded by a delivery from the Sigmaringen Trade Supervisory Office in 1960 (Acc. 24/1960). The present collection comprises 847 numbers in 23, 85 linear metres and the period from 1806-1950. Files of the same provenance from earlier deliveries for the period from 1806 to about 1925 are kept in the Ludwigsburg State Archives in fonds F 155. The order and indexing was carried out by government inspector Kungl, Reinschrift und Register, who was responsible for the order and indexing.

History of the authorities: The territorial reorganization of Germany by Napoleon almost doubled the territory of the former margraviate of Baden between 1803 and 1810. In 1803 it was elevated to the status of electorate and in 1806 to that of grand duchy. This made it necessary to restructure and standardize the administrative structures of the administratively heterogeneous state. The organizational edicts issued between 1806 and 1809 divided the Grand Duchy of Baden into 66 provincial and 53 municipal offices. The offices of the rank were abolished until 1849 or converted into the offices of the sovereign. The number of district offices in Baden was significantly reduced by mergers and abolitions in the course of the 19th and 20th centuries.Originally, the district offices were purely state authorities and as such were primarily responsible for general state administration and for state supervision of the activities of municipal administrations in their respective districts, but they were also responsible for the police and - until the establishment of their own court organisation in 1857 - the judiciary, in particular civil justice. The district office Überlingen belonged to the Seekreis. The administrative reform of 1832 replaced the meanwhile remaining six district directorates as central authorities by the district governments of four districts and assigned the district Überlingen to the Seekreis. In 1864 these four districts were dissolved and the district offices were directly subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior. At the same time, the Grand Duchy was divided into eleven district associations as municipal self-governing bodies without state responsibilities, and the district of Überlingen became part of the Constance District. The district offices and district associations were combined into four state commissioner districts for the purpose of handling state administrative supervision. At their head was a state commissioner with a seat and vote in the Grand Ducal Ministry of the Interior. The district office Überlingen was added to the Landeskommissärbezirk Konstanz. 1864 established district federations were abolished in 1939 and the districts were renamed in districts starting from 1 January; their leaders carried already since 1924 the title district administrator. The district administrations thus became a mixed construction of state administration and local self-administration. During the National Socialist era, however, their formally maintained powers of self-administration existed only on paper, since the decision-making powers and powers of decision were transferred from the district assembly to the district chairman appointed by the Ministry of the Interior, to whom three to six district councillors merely advised. When the administration was reorganised after the end of the war in 1945, legal supervision of the districts, which continued to perform state functions but now really also became local self-governing bodies with democratic legitimacy, was initially transferred from the state commissioners to the (southern) Baden Ministry of the Interior. After the formation of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, it was replaced by the Regional Council of South Baden as the central authority for the administrative district of South Baden. During the district reform in 1973, the district of Überlingen was dissolved and most of the municipalities were assigned to the Lake Constance district, the municipalities of the northern district came to the district of Sigmaringen. The Überlingen district underwent various changes over time, the largest being in 1936 when the Pfullendorf district office was abolished and merged with the Überlingen district. Inventory history: Before the beginning of the registration work, the files of the Überlingen District Office were distributed among the following holdings:a) B 747/1, /2, /3, /4, /5, /6, /8, /9, and /10 b) S 24/1 and /2 c) G 27/2, /3, /4, /5, /6, /9, /10, /11, /12, /13, /14, /16, /17, /18, /19, /21, /22, and /25The holdings listed under a) were first combined to form holdings B 747/1 (new). In the process, foreign provenances with a term ending after 1806 and before 1952 were taken and assigned to other holdings of the Freiburg State Archives according to their provenance. The stock B 747/9 was completely integrated into the stock B 729/9 district office Pfullendorf. The holdings B 747/4 and /10 were completely merged into B 747/1 (new).the files from the holdings mentioned under c) with the provenance Bezirksamt/Landratsamt Überlingen were incorporated into B 747/1 (new). From all three groups of holdings, files with a term ending before 1806 and after 1952 were separated and handed over to the General State Archive Karlsruhe or to the Archive of the Lake Constance District. The holdings G 27/17, /18, /19 and /25 went completely to the archives of the Lake Constance district. In well-founded exceptional cases, such as when the proportion of documents created after 1952 in a file was limited to a few documents, files with a term beyond 1952 were also included in B 747/1 (new). Notes on use:Concordances in the printed version of the finding aid book for B 747/1 (new) show all presignatures of the individual files. The signature last used in the Freiburg State Archives before the new recording is found under Presignature 1 and the signature second to last in the Freiburg State Archives or the signature formerly used in the Karlsruhe General State Archives under Presignature 2. The present holdings were recorded by Edgar Hellwig, Annette Riek, Christina Röhrenbeck, Annika Scheumann and Anja Steeger. Planning, organisation and coordination as well as final correction and final editing of the finding aid were carried out by the undersigned. The stock B 747/1 comprises 10886 fascicles and measures 94 lfd.m.Freiburg, November 2014Annette Riek

History of Tradition Biographical information Heinz Braun was born in 1927 as the son of Heinrich Braun and Barbara Braun, née Müller. At the age of ten the secondary school student Heinz Braun went to the Hitler Youth, at 15 he became a member of the fire brigade, at 16 he became an air force helper. He was drafted at the age of 17. After Heinz Braun had been deployed around Breslau in 1945, he spent a few weeks of rest with his comrades in a village near Prague. Finally, Heinz Braun was deployed on his way to Lake Balaton in mid-April 1945 in Vienna. While defending a crossroads, he and his comrades were taken prisoner of war in Russia. After a three-month stay in Vienna, they were taken to Stalingrad. He returned home from captivity in January 1950. With the help of the care of the returnees, he began training as an electrician, to which he joined the technician. In 1956 Heinz Braun married a young woman from Rottweil, with whom he has two sons. He took early retirement in 1985. After Mr. Braun had learned of the estate of Kugler, which had been published by the State Archive Sigmaringen, he donated a photo album with a collection of field postcards and some photographs to the archive in 2006 (access 2006/45). The vast majority of the field postcards his mother Barbara Braun, née Müller, had received from her brothers Jakob and Philipp during the First World War. Furthermore, in 2007 (access 2007/02), Mr Braun donated letters, personal documents and photographs from the first half of the 20th century to the Sigmaringen State Archives. In addition, Mr. Braun supplemented his past, in particular his stay in a prisoner of war camp in Stalingrad, as well as the past of his mother and his uncle Jakob Müller with personal notes and partially literarily worked up. The collection's focus is on 167 field postcards from the time of the First World War. They visualize the everyday life of soldiers as well as the effects of war. Used as a means of propaganda against their own population, they also illustrate the expansion of psychological warfare in the First World War. Within the newly created classification levels, the units of description were arranged chronologically. Postcards and photographs not to be dated are placed at the end of a classification group. Records, letters and personal documents of the estate giver were summarized in thematic units. Titles of postcards and photographs were made on the basis of text imprints. If no text imprints were available, the handwritten titles of the postcard owners were taken over in quotation marks. Own title formations or additions were made without quotation marks. In the case of postcards sent, the sender and recipient are also noted. The title shows place names in the spelling used on the postcards and photographs. Where today's official place names differ, they have been added in square brackets. The place names of that time, but also German names for foreign places can be understood in this way. The postcards are dated after the date of dispatch of the card. If the author of a postcard has dated his message to a date before the date of dispatch, both dates have been included. Information on publishers, photo studios, series and film numbering appear in the "Presignature 1" data field.

The story of the person Robert Arnaud was born on 30 June 1885 in Sigmaringen. After attending high school, he completed a three-year apprenticeship in Heilbronn, which was followed by work in various drugstores and as a representative for Kathreiner's malt coffee. In November 1908 Robert Arnaud acquired a building in the Schwabstraße in Sigmaringen, which was to house the Robert Arnaud city drugstore in the following years. In 1928 the shop was enlarged by an extension in the Bauhaus style. Robert Arnaud's marriage to Amelie Dieringer (1889-1970) in 1910 produced the daughters Gertrud (1911-1990), Hildegard (1912-1995) and Gretel (1916-1995) and his son Robert (1927-1945). Robert Arnaud died on 11 May 1945, shortly after his son had been shot dead during the invasion of Sigmaringen by French troops. Inventory history and report of the researcher Renate Arnaud handed over the available documents to the Sigmaringen State Archives in 2004, 2005 and 2007 (accession numbers 55/2004, 20/2005 and 9/2007). This is an enriched estate with a term of approximately 1871 to 2005. The focus is on the first two decades of the 20th century and the years between 1930 and 1940. Corinna Knobloch recorded the documents in the period from March to July 2006 and in February 2007. During the development 1381 units were formed, consisting among others of 5 master plates, 14 units with correspondence, 1191 postcards or folders with postcards as well as photographs, 4 photo glass plates, 479 collector's pictures of Kathreiner's Kneipp malt coffee, Liebig's Fleisch-Extract, Bernsdorp's Cacao

Content and evaluation In the course of an evaluation campaign at the State Forestry Offices in the Sprengel of the Tübingen Forestry Directorate in 1994/95, the old registration - registration layer 1850 - 1955 at the Gammertingen State Forestry Office was also evaluated by the Sigmaringen State Archives on 9 August 1995. The evaluation was based on the evaluation model developed in 1994/95 together with the forestry administration (see also: Reinhold Schaal and Jürgen Treffeisen: For the evaluation and separation of the documents of the state forestry offices in the Sprengel of the State Archives Sigmaringen, in: Historische Überlieferung aus Verwaltungsunterlagen. Zur Praxis der archivischen Bewertung in Baden-Württemberg, published by Robert Kretzschmar, 1997, Verlag W.Kohlhammer Stuttgart, p.275-291). The files of the Gammertingen Forestry Office were recorded in spring 1997 by Marc Krause during a four-week archive internship under the direction of the undersigned.

On the history of the district governments and the district government of Ulm: The district governments were brought into being by the 4th edict of 18 Nov. 1817 at the same time as the Finance Chambers, which were revoked in 1849. Previously, in Württemberg the entire administration had been led by a central government college in addition to the district governorates, which had only little authority and were called bailiwick bailiwicks from 1810 onwards, as well as municipal and district authorities, where sections were formed for the various branches of administration. The division of the country into districts and the creation of provincial colleges was modelled on the French Departmental Constitution of 1789, which also formed the basis for a new administrative organisation in other German states at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1818 it was put into effect, and at the same time the sections of internal administration, medicine, roads, bridges, hydraulic engineering, local government and the commission for communal use and allodification of peasant loans existing in the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the section of crown domains, the section of state accounts, the section of agriculture, the section of state treasuries in the Ministry of Finance, the section of foundations in the Ministry of Church and Education were abolished.After the instruction of Dec. 21. In 1819 the district governments in their district were the supreme authorities for all matters of state administration in the field of regimes (sovereign administration), the state police and the state economy and for the administration of the property of municipalities, official bodies and foundations, insofar as these objects were not assigned to other district or central offices (Chambers of Finance as well as Protestant Consistory, Catholic Church Council, Study Council, Superior Building Council, Provincial Stud Commission, Medical College, Upper Chamber of Accounts, Tax College, Forestry Council and Bergrat).The old 1819 directive was valid for 70 years, it was only replaced by the Decree of 15 Nov 1889 on the organisation of district governments and the course of their business. Their business was handled by a president as a member of the board, administrative councils and collegial assessors as well as the necessary office staff. For technical advice, a county medical council was temporarily assigned to the health service, a construction council for the road, bridge and hydraulic engineering of the municipalities and foundations, a construction council for the construction of the municipalities and foundations, and an expert for the approval of steam boiler plants. Business was transacted partly through collegial consultation and decision-making, partly through the office.In the course of time, a number of important tasks were transferred from the original tasks of the district governments to other middle and central authorities, such as the Ministerial Department for Road and Water Construction (1848), the Central Office for Agriculture (1848), the Central Office for Trade and Commerce (1848), the Corporate Forestry Directorate (1875), the Ministerial Department for Building Construction (1872), the Medical College (1881) and the Higher Insurance Office (1912).After 1870, new tasks arose for the district governments through new Reich and state laws, namely the Industrial Code, the laws on the formation of district poor associations, on the administration of administrative justice, on the representation of Protestant church and Catholic parishes and on the compulsory expropriation of land. In addition, at the beginning of the 20th century, the water law was reorganized, social legislation was expanded, and direct supervision of large and medium-sized cities was assigned to the district governments, which were responsible for the internal state administration - see the following table of contents - either as the decisive or the enacting authority 1. In the course of the dismantling of civil servants and offices, the district governments were replaced in 1924 by a new ministerial department for district and corporate administration, affiliated to the Ministry of the Interior, for all responsibilities that did not pass to the upper offices and the ministry. (Literature: Alfred Dehlinger, Württembergisches Staatswesen, 1951 - 1953 (especially § 127); Handwörterbuch der Württembergischen Verwaltung, edited by Dr. Friedrich Haller, 1915; Denkschrift über Vereinfachungungen in der Staatsverwaltung vom 27.2.1911, in: Verhandlungen der Württ. Zweiten Kammer 1911/12, Beilage 28, S. 385ff. The seat of the government of the Danube district established in 1818 was Ulm (district government of Ulm). It was responsible for the upper offices of Biberach, Blaubeuren, Ehingen, Geislingen, Göppingen, Kirchheim, Laupheim (before 1842 Wiblingen), Leutkirch, Münsingen, Ravensburg, Riedlingen, Saulgau, Tettnang, Ulm (with Albeck since 1819), Waldsee and Wangen. Equally ordered to these, but without the powers of the "high police" and the general state administration, were the - in 1849/50 dissolved - sovereign offices (patrimonial offices) Aulendorf (Gräfl. Königsegg-Aulendorfsches Amt), Buchau, Obermarchtal, Obersulmetingen and Scheer (Fürstl. Thurn and Taxis offices), Castle Waldsee (Prince Waldburg - Wolfegg - Waldsee Office), Wolfegg and Wurzach (Prince Waldburg-Wurzachs offices) and Zeil (Prince Waldburg - Zeil - Trauchburgs Office). In addition, it was in charge of the port management in Friedrichshafen, which was set up to handle the shipping and port police as well as the passport and alien police at the Württemberg port and landing areas. The district government exercised supervision over the Landarmenbehörde für den Donaukreis with its seat in Ulm. On the history of the registry: The large volume of files in the district governments, due to their extensive business activities, brought with it a periodically recurring overfilling of their registries, which in the 19th century was accompanied by cassations (maculation and sale of old files), after 1900 by duties to the archives of the interior or Extensive cassations took place at the district government in Ulm on the occasion of the relocation of the district government from the German House to the so-called Palais in 1859 and at an internal transfer of the chancellery in 1876 (cf. elimination lists in E 179 II Büschel 6565). Since everything that had lasting i.e. legal value for the administration was preserved according to instructions, the central, historically most valuable written record of the district government since its foundation was preserved despite these and other smaller cassations.Until the reorganisation of the registry in 1906, the registry of the district government of Ulm consisted of five departments (registries), most of which had their origins in previous authorities; in detail, these were Department I - II Regierungssachen, Spezialia und Generalia, Department III - IV Kommunsachen, Spezialia und Generalia (based on the registry of the municipal administration section) and Department V Registratur der Stiftungsverwaltung (according to the old classification, cf. Repertorium D 50). Within these departments, the files - with the exception of the foundation cases - were in alphabetical order.When the registrar Narr took office in 1887, the registry was in a precarious state, which he described as follows: "There is no repertory, the boxes and compartments are not numbered, the latter are not provided with rubrics, the fascicles are not overwritten, so that the official is only dependent on his memory and for months the files have not been repositioned" (report of 4.6.1887 in E 179 II Büschel 278a /85). This was remedied by the preparation of a file plan, which involved the external and internal reorganization of the registry. This now consisted essentially in the summary of rubrics - the original alphabetical order of the files had long since been broken - , in the division of the fascicles arranged according to objects according to places or according to the alphabet of the personal names from the year of engraving 1860 as well as in the allocation of storage place signatures according to boxes and subjects (see "Repertorium" in E 179 II Vol. 392).Change in the still largely outdated registry conditions was created in 1906 by Secretary General Nell with the amalgamation of the five departmental registries and the introduction of a registry plan comprising both the current and the depots of the 19th century with alphabetically arranged main sections, systematically subdivided sub-groups and box signatures (see "Repertorium" in E 179 II Vol. 393). After the abolition of the district governments in 1924, the processing office of the registry handed over the files of the former district government of Ulm to the state branch archives as well as to smaller parts of the ministerial department for district and corporate administration and to the upper offices (v.a. Civil rights files - admission, naturalizations, dismissals) as successor authorities, from which they later in part were transferred to the Ludwigsburg State Archives via other offices (cf. list of departures to E 173 - 180). To the order and distortion of the stock: For the use of the files of the district government Ulm only cursory archive and handover directories were available in the State Archives Ludwigsburg so far, which did not satisfy scientific requirements.As part of the longer-term re-drawing of the holdings of the four district governments, the inclusion of the official books of the Ulm district government was completed in 1970 (Repertorium E 179 I by Walter Böhm and Walter Bürkle). In contrast, the indexing of the file holdings begun in 1966, which was accompanied by a re-forming of the heavy and unwieldy file collections, took almost two decades. In spite of a wide range of official demands, the first arranger, Amtsrat Müller, with the temporary support of archive inspector candidate Joachim Herzer, was able to record almost half of the total 213.6 metres of shelving until his retirement in 1977. The title recording for the second part was made - with the assistance of the temporary employee Wally Vogler, who ordered and recorded the administrative administration of justice - by Karl Hofer, Councillor of the Office, from 1982 to 1984, who also edited the finding aid book.In fonds E 179 II, Kreisregierung Ulm, the following individual fonds have now been added (see also above):1. Delivery of the Kreisregierung Ulm from 1906 (to the Archiv des Innern): a) Generalia, developed by Archivrepertorium by Rechnungsrat Marquart from 1908 (Bund 1 - 99) as well as provisional Zettelrepertorium by Amtsrat Müller from 1966 ff. (Bü 1 - 986), 14 m. M (so far fonds E 179 );b) Spezialia, indexed as a) (Bund 1 - 381) as well as provisional note repertory by Amtsrat Müller 1966 ff. (Bü 1 - 1983), 70 current M (so far fonds E 179 III);2nd delivery of the processing office of the registry of the district government Ulm from 1924 (to the Staatsfilialarchiv Ludwigsburg): General and special files after 1906 with extensive old files, indexed by the delivery directory from Dec. 1924 (Bund 1 - 517) as well as provisional note repertory by Amtsrat Müller 1966ff. (Bü. 3834 - 4157) and Amtsrat Hofer with the collaboration of Zeitangestellten Vogler (Bü. 4158 - 8485) 119.5 m (so far fonds E 179 III);3. Delivery of the ministerial department for district and corporate administration in Stuttgart from 1924 (to the Staatsfilialarchiv in Ludwigsburg): Supplements, indexed by the delivery index of Nov. 1924 (Bund 171 - 212) as well as a preliminary repertory of notes by Amtsrat Müller and Archivinspektoranwärter Herzer from 1974ff. (Bü. 3001 - 3833), 13.5 linear metres (so far collection stand E 173 - 180);4. Deliveries from the State Archives Sigmaringen (received there from the Regierungspräsidium Tübingen and from district offices) as well as from the Main State Archives Stuttgart (from the inventory of the Ministry of the Interior) from 1980 - 1983: Supplements, unlisted, title recordings 1984 by Amtsrat Hofer, 1.25 linear metres. M (= fonds E 179 IV) Foreign provenances were excavated to a greater extent from the 1906 delivery, but in the case of only a few documents were left with the files and the provenance assignment was noted in the title entries (see overview of foreign provenances in the appendix of the preliminary remark). The excavated documents could be assigned to already existing archival holdings, namely D 48a, Upper Government of the Department of Criminal Investigation and Upper Police Department or the Section of Internal Administration from 1806 - 1817 (access 4 m), D 49, Landesökonomiekollegium or Section of Municipal Administration from 1806 - 18917 (access 1.50 m), D 37, Section of Crown Domains and Foundations from 1811 - 1817 (access 9.5 m) and D 79 - 82, Districts and Bailiwicks from 1806 - 1817 (access 2.3 m). A total of 0.8 linear metres of records were handed over to the Main State Archives in Stuttgart and the State Archives in Sigmaringen, while 4 linear metres of records were cashed in for the Low Service Examination. ), it was possible for the benefit of the future evaluation of this extensive document delivery to form a total stock from the individual deliveries on the basis of this file plan. The title entries for the newer parts could be sorted back on the basis of the file numbers which are assigned analogously for the older parts ("Generalia - Spezialia"). the title entries created in the numerus currens-procedure kept their numbering even after the classification, so that the numerical order is preserved in the magazine, but not in the repertory. The original double numbering of the stocks "Generalia" and "Spezialia" could be eliminated by renumbering the "Spezialia" Büschel 1 - 1983 in Büschel 1001 - 2983, thanks to a larger numbering gap. The stock E 179 II has a circumference of 213.6 m. The highest order number is 8689. Order numbers that are not assigned are documented in the section on "Retroconversion".Ludwigsburg, August 1985Karl Hofer Fremdprovenienzen (ordered by the seat of the authorities): Allmendingen, SchultheißenamtBiberach, OberamtEhingen, KreisamtFreiburg, Vorderösterreichische StiftungsbuchhaltungGeislingen, OberamtGöppingen, Landvogtei an der Fils an.

In this so-called retroconversion, the basic structure of the template and the linguistic version of the texts were retained in principle (motto: "copy instead of revision"). This can lead to a certain discrepancy between the modern external appearance and the partly outdated design and formulation of the title recordings. Corrections, deletions and additions were verified and incorporated. Both the regular and the a numbers were checked, missing numbers were recorded in a separate list (see below).

The history of the tradition The preliminary remark on the repertory Wü 28/1, Landgericht Ravensburg [2010: Wü 28/1 T 1] is referred to the court organisation. The files included in this inventory were delivered to the State Archives by the Regional Court of Ravensburg on 25 April 1969 (Acc. 1969/14). These are criminal files from the years 1891 to 1933. For the time being, further criminal files are still kept in the Ludwigsburg State Archives as fonds E 353 (District Court/ Regional Court Ravensburg, Criminal Chamber, with District Criminal Court Biberach as 2nd Criminal Chamber for the districts of Biberach, Leutkirch, Riedlingen, Waldsee), where they had been deposited before 1938. In due course they are to be merged with the holdings located here in accordance with the responsibility of the archives. The order and distortion of the present files was carried out by the retired government chief secretary Plaumann in 1969. Fräulein Queck produced the fair copy and register. The stock comprises 47 fascicles with 1.25 running metres [2010: 48 fascicles with 1.5 running metres].
