History of the authorities: As a result of the territorial upheavals in the Napoleonic period, a total of 66 sovereign and 53 rank sovereign offices were created in Baden on the basis of the organisational edict of 26 October 1809. The number of district offices (since 1939: administrative districts) and upper offices was reduced in the course of the time by merging and abolition, so that 1945 in the today's administrative district Freiburg only 16 administrative districts (Donaueschingen, Emmendingen, Freiburg, Kehl, Konstanz, Lahr, Lörrach, Müllheim, Neustadt, Offenburg, Säckingen, Stockach, Überlingen, Villingen, Waldshut, Wolfach) and - since 1939 - two city districts (Freiburg, Konstanz) existed. Apart from the offices of the rank and rank abolished in 1849 at the latest, the district offices were purely state authorities. Only by the administrative district order of 24.6.1939 they received - de facto however only on paper - also tasks of a self-administration body. They were primarily responsible for general state administration, but were also responsible for the police and - until the establishment of their own court organisation (1857) - the judiciary, in particular the civil courts. As administrative authorities they were assigned to the Ministry of the Interior and subordinated to changing central authorities (district directorates, from 1832 district governments, from 1863 state commissioners); with regard to the judiciary, the court courts and the district directorates or district governments were superior to them. Inventory history: Before the beginning of the indexing work, the files of the Oberkirch District Office were distributed among the following holdings:a) B 727/1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12;b) W 499. Initially, the holdings mentioned under a) were combined to form the holdings B 727/12 (new). All files of the provenance "Bezirksamt Oberkirch" from the provisional holdings W 499, which contains documents from the holdings 129 to 228 of the General State Archives Karlsruhe, which reached the State Archives Freiburg within the framework of the mutual equalisation of holdings, were also included in the work. The pre-signature 1 contains the last signature used in the Freiburg State Archives before the re-drawing and the pre-signature 2 the penultimate signature used in the Freiburg State Archives and the signature formerly used in the Karlsruhe State Archives, respectively. after preparatory work on the B 727 series of the Erdmuthe Krieg, the present holdings of David Boomers, Joanna Genkova, Edgar Hellwig, Wolfgang Lippke, Jochen Rees and Christof Strauß were recorded. Edgar Hellwig was responsible for the final editing of the finding aid book and the undersigned for supervising the work. The stock B 727/12 now comprises 6159 fascicles and measures 41.5 lfd.m.Freiburg, February 2009 Dr. Christof Strauß

The files of the Württemberg - Hohenzollern district administration of the National Socialist Teachers' Association were sent, albeit incompletely, after the Second World War to the Document Center in Berlin and from there via the Federal Archives to the Ludwigsburg State Archives, where they were formed into their own holdings under the signature PL 516. Content and Evaluation During the Third Reich, the National Socialist Teachers' Association (NSLB), founded in 1929 as a fighting organization for National Socialist educators, developed into the sole teacher organization in the course of the gradual dissolution of the traditional teacher associations, with the task of aligning all teachers in the National Socialist sense, among other things by means of courses, camps and training camps. The NSLB was an affiliated association of the NSDAP. His complicated organizational structure and his increasingly out-of-control financial system led him into a crisis that worsened during the Second World War. In 1943, the NS teachers' association was "shut down" on the instructions of the party chancellery and thus effectively dissolved. Between 1981 and 1990, Dr. Wolfgang Schmierer, Dr. Günter Cordes and Dr. Herwig John recorded about 4/5 of the inventory, excluding duplicates, reminders, receipts, etc. - a total of about 3.5 metres of shelving. The correspondence files were summarized in group correspondence with authorities, with the NSDAP and its divisions, with the district administrations the NS teacher federation. The confused membership card index, which now constitutes the third part of the stock, was again sorted alphabetically by Werkschüler Rainer Hornung. Between May 2004 and February 2007, Dr. Carl-Jochen Müller allocated or distorted the remaining holdings in the course of a project financed by the Stiftung Kulturgut to index the holdings group PL 501-523. The focus of the preserved documents is on the varied correspondence with the district administrations; the social services as well as the exhibition activities and student competitions are also relatively well documented.

Content and Assessment The courts of the NSDAP functioned as mechanisms for maintaining party discipline, overcoming internal party conflicts, and purifying the party of racially and politically undesirable and insubordinate members. They emerged from the investigative and conciliation committees (Uschlas) of the "fighting period" and were independent of the ordinary courts, whose procedural structure, however, they followed. In the party hierarchy, they were adapted and assigned to the political organization in the form of local, district and district courts. The documents of the NSDAP district court in Stuttgart, captured by the US military, were transferred to the Ludwigsburg State Archives after the political cleansing had been completed. There it received the signature PL 503/29.

AWM33 is an artificial series of records relating to the military occupation of German New Guinea by the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force during 1914-1921 and to the writing of The Official History of Australian during the War of 1914-18: Volume X, The Australians at Rabaul: the capture and administration of German possessions in the southern Pacific by Seaforth Simpson McKenzie (published 1927).While it is a composite of private donations and officially transferred records accessioned by the Memorial between 1928 and 1965, the bulk of the series consists of Department of Defence records transferred through the Official Historian between 1928 and 1940. The series date range 1914-1926 reflects the administrative context in which the records were created, rather than the subsequent composite accumulation of the records themselves.The records were initially housed together as "New Guinea campaign records" (also known as the "Holmes Collection") in a filing cabinet, and were arranged into sub-groups based on type of record and the provenance of the accessions. Divider cards separated records under the following headings:HOLMES COLLECTION(Items [1]-[8])This group seems to have been so named because of the important acquisition of Colonel Holmes' diary from the Department of Defence in 1928, and the later donation of records from Holmes' family in 1963.REPORTS AND DESPATCHES - HOLMES AND PETHEBRIDGE(Items [9]-[12/19])As with "Reports miscellaneous 1914-1918" and "Reports miscellaneous 1919-1922" below, this group contains reports and memoranda from the various Administrators of German New Guinea to the Department of Defence. All three groups of records were transferred through the Official Historian, and the separation of the Holmes and Pethebridge material is probably a reflection of S S Mackenzie's distinction between the earlier and later stages of the Administration in the Official History.REPORTS ETC. MISCELLANEOUS(Items [13]-[40])Most of the items in this group are "miscellaneous" in nature, and were donated between 1956 and 1964 by individuals who served in the AN

The N11 collection of Mintman's estate comprises 169 units of indexation with a total duration from 1863 to 1975. It probably reached the Kleve district archives shortly after the death of the estate of Ludwig Mintman (1884-1975) and was incorporated into the old collection E here. Groups were formed and provided with the signatures E6 to E34. An exact list of the old index can be found in the registry of the district archives under the file number 41 22 14 02. Since this first indexing was only a rough sorting with however very exact single sheet indexing, the present reorganization and new indexing was carried out, which permits a systematic access to the stock with the help of a classification. In addition, a search via keywords is possible. During the reorganization, cash was also collected, especially newspapers and newspaper cuttings. In addition some photos and death slips were taken and arranged with origin note into the appropriate collections, namely into F3 photo collection of the circle archives Kleve, S6 death slips collection and S16 prayer mission Primiz pictures. The estate consists or consisted mainly of books. Those with historical or local references were incorporated into the library of the district archives immediately after the inheritance was taken over at the end of the 1970s. A list of these books unfortunately does not exist. However, all volumes were marked with a stamp "Nachlass Mintmans". The largest part of the estate consists of textbooks or books related to pedagogy and didactics. These were grouped together, e.g. according to subjects. In addition, the estate also contains personal papers and private items, as well as extensive notes on the genealogy of various Aldekerk families, elaborations for teaching and drafts for the chronicle of Aldekerk as well as articles for the Aldekerk Heimatblatt and the Geldrische Heimatkalen-der. Ludwig Mintmans was born on 17 March 1884 at the Vennekels- and Mintmanshof in Kengen, Rheurdt municipality, Moers district as the only son of the married couple Jakob Mintmans and Anna Petronella née Jörris. After his discharge from primary school, he first attended the Präparandenanstalt in Krefeld, then the Lehrerseminar in Kempen from 1903 to 1906. After passing the 1st apprenticeship examination in July 1906, he became a teacher at the elementary school in Aldekerk. At first he received only a temporary employment, but after passing the 2nd apprenticeship examination in October 1909 he was permanently employed. At the same time he headed the vocational school in Aldekerk. After the end of the Second World War, Mr. Mintmans was reinstated into the school service in December 1945, from which he retired on 23 March 1948. The personal file of Ludwig Mintman is in inventory A under the signature KA Kle A 24. Further information about him and his teaching activities can be found in the following files: KA Kle A 106, KA Kle A 267, KA Kle B 417. On 13 June 1911 Ludwig Mintmans married Katharina Dese-laers, born on the Bermeshof in Vernum. The two had four children: Ludwig (7.7.1912), Adele (24.4.1914), Jakob (4.3.1917) and Heinrich (4.5.1921). Mrs. Mintmans died in May 1967. Ludwig Mintmans devoted his entire life to the history of his homeland, especially to researching the history of his hometown Aldekerk. So he wrote a chronicle for the parish Aldekerk, designed the coat of arms for the parish Aldekerk, took care of the dialect care and was co-founder of the Heimatverein, in which he received the honorary membership for his 80th birthday. Ludwig Mintmans published the following articles in the Geldrisches Heimatkalender: GHK 1953, p. 69ff: Das Rittergut Palings GHK 1955, p. 27ff: Haus- und Hofmarken GHK 1956, p. 110ff: Buttermilch und Flötekäs.

An obituary can be found in the Heimat-blatt of the municipality of Aldekerk, Volume 6, No. 21 of 8 November 1975. The estate was rearranged and recorded by Claudia Kurfürst from October to December 2008.

The picture archive of the two Lemgo master photographers Fritz Ernst Ohle (1881 - 1962) and Karl Ernst Ohle (1917 - 1982) was transferred to the city archive as a deposit (reservation of title) of the association Alt Lemgo e. V. in 2013. The picture archive was sold in 1989 to the Lemgo entrepreneur Gerhard Mische, who donated the photo collection to the Alt Lemgo association in 2002. The stock consists of glass plate negatives, b/w photo prints on cardboard, photo albums (b/w), negatives (b/w and color), slides (b/w and color) as well as loose or framed photo prints (b/w and color). In the archive database, the glass plate negatives and some of the photo prints on cardboard have been indexed so far. When the picture archive was handed over, digital photos of the glass plate negatives and some of the photo prints were also delivered on cardboard, which are stored as thumbnails in the archive database and can be viewed in the reading room of the city archive via the archive database. For the remaining photo material there are partly handwritten lists, which were made by Mr. Hartmut Walter of the association Alt Lemgo. The rest is not further developed and has only partial inscriptions. The old finding aids for the glass plate negatives and the photo prints on cardboard are available for inspection in the reading room of the City Archive. Your details have been included in the archive database. In addition, B/W printouts of the digital copies can be viewed in the reading room according to the sequence of signatures. The order signatures of the stock consist of an abbreviation and a sequential number. The abbreviations shall be broken down as follows: FAK = Photo prints on cardboard GPK = Glass plates GPG = Glass plates Contents mainly photographs of houses, streets, people and events in Lemgo from the end of the 19th century to the 1960s. In the case of publications of photos from the stock, the following shall be cited: StaL N 9 Depositum Ohle (Association Alt Lemgo/Mischen) signature. Some of the glass plate negatives from the picture collection have been owned by the Westfälisches Amt für Denkmalpflege since 1979. Prints of these negatives can be found in the photo collection N 1 of the city archive.

The documents of the Göttingen Municipal Museum were first deposited in the Göttingen Municipal Archives in two forms: on 30 October 2008 as Acc. No. 1933/2008 and on December 3, 2009 as Acc. No. 1989/2009. The first tax consisted in particular of the files (156 serial numbers), the second of only two foreign and two guest books. A third filing by the museum followed on 10 December 2012 (Acc. No. 2104/2012). Even though some of the archives date back to the early 20th century, the focus of the C 49 collection is on the period after 1945 and is close to the present. The most recent documents date from 2010, with a focus on the numerous files relating to the exhibitions, in particular the special exhibitions of the Städtisches Museum; relatively extensive are also the files relating to correspondence and cooperation with professional associations, societies and federations. The basis for the structure of the holdings was the "File Plan of the Städtische Museum Göttingen" (Office 44; status: approx. 1990). Its former subdivisions 44 01 "General administration" and 44 02 "Circulars, instructions, security and insurance matters" were combined as "1 General administration", the subdivisions 44 08 "Professional associations" and 44 23 5 "Associations and federations" as "6 Professional associations, associations and federations" as well as 44 23 3 "Public relations" and 44 23 6 "Advertising and public relations" as "10 Public relations, advertising". C 49 is thus broken down as follows:1 General administration2 Personnel3 Establishment and operation4 Statistics5 Finances6 Professional associations, societies and federations7 Objects of collection8 Photo and information service9 Exhibitions10 Public relations, Advertising11 Publications and scientific projects12 Contract matters13 Archäologische Stadtkernforschung14 MiscellaneousFrom 1992 onwards, archäologische Stadtkernforschung was no longer the responsibility of the Städtisches Museum, but became part of the department "Denkmalpflege" (Preservation of Monuments) in Department IV and there in the "Amt für Bauordnung und Denkmalpflege (63)" (Office for Building Regulations and Preservation of Monuments) with the classification number 63.The numerous files with the title "Correspondence" available under "1 General Administration" contain - partly chronologically, partly alphabetically - the correspondence on a wide variety of topics that arose during the given period.Literature :100 Years of Göttingen and its Museum : Texts and materials for the exhibition in the Städtisches Museum and the Old Town Hall 1 October 1989 - 7 January 1990 / [Responsible: Hans-Georg Schmeling].Göttingen, 1989 - 311 pp. Ill.signature: A 576Crome, Bruno: Guide through the antiquity collection (Städtisches Museum Göttingen 1).Göttingen : Vandenhoeck

1. the history of the department of personal affairs: Württemberg's accession to the German Reich in 1871 brought considerable organizational changes in the Württemberg region. I've been in the War Department with him. It was initially divided into three departments: Centralbureau (C), Military Department (MA) and Economic Department (Oe). In the provisional organizational draft of August 16, 1871, the Centralbureau was entrusted with the processing of the personnel matters of the officers, the awarding of orders, the cases of honorary court for officers, and the personnel news in the Military Gazette. According to § 4 of the War Ministry's Registry Ordinance, the Ministry's registry should be regarded as a single unit, "but it must be formed so that each department has its own files and a registrar officer is available for the purpose of keeping the journal, collecting the files, completing the files, etc.". In January 1896, the Centralbureau began running its own diary for personnel matters and the awarding of orders. On April 24, 1896, the War Minister transferred the handling of all personnel matters of the officers and the awarding of orders to the Military Department, which also took over the journal and the pre-files of the Central Bureau. Section III was established in the Military Department for this area of activity, and when the War Ministry was reorganised on 1 August 1906, the Military Department was given the name "Department for General Army and Personal Affairs" (A). The division into three sections remained unchanged, as did the journal management (a common diarium for sections 1 and 2, a second one for section 3). According to the organisation chart printed in January 1907, Section 3 had to deal with the following matters:Personal data of officers and medical officersOfficers of the Land Hunter CorpsOfficers of OfficersMarriagesDiseasesQualification and Personnel ReportsAppointment of approved officers in civilian serviceComplementation of the Officers' Service and medical officer corpsCadet corpsFahnenjunker und FähnricheKriegsschulen und KriegsakademienBalance of the military medical personnel for the case of mobilization between Württemberg and PrussiaAller höchste HandschreibenEhrengerichtliche Angelegenheiten der Offiziere und SanitätsoffiziereVerleihung von königlich Württembergischen Orden und MedaillenVerleihung Nichtwürttembergischer Orden etc. to Württemberg military personnelReturn and replacement of orders and decorationsKaiser Wilhelm-ErinnerungsmedailleRettungsmedailleGehaltseinweisungen der Offiziere (Etatskapitel 19-24, 41)Generalmajor Wocher'sche Stiftung Militärverordnungsblatt (Personal-Nachrichten).the beginning of the First World War did not change anything in this scope of business, but the work increased enormously. Section A 3 consisted of two officers and three civil servants on 2.8.1914. In the course of the war, the number of personnel had to be increased considerably. In late autumn 1914, the Section was divided into four groups called 3 a-d, which essentially performed their previous tasks unchanged. New was, for example, the preparation of memorial sheets for fallen officers (until November 1917) and the editing of the publication of the bestowals of Iron Crosses. Detailed information on the work can be found in the quarterly memorandums of the Section or Department for the Minister of War (Bü 274). By order of the War Minister of 30 June 1917, Section A 3 was separated from Section A and institutionalized as an independent "Department for Personal Affairs" (P). The previous head of the section, Major Schumacher, took over the management of the business. In all other respects, the division and operation of the department remained completely the same as in the previous section. The old groups A 3 a-d were given the designation P 1-4 and the files of the department were not changed either. Thus, it must be explained that this file contains documents and volumes bearing the signatures C, Z, MA, A (AP) and P. The applicant is therefore required to state that the documents and volumes in question bear the signatures C, Z, MA, A (AP) and P. They reflect the wandering competence. Similar to the transfer of files from other departments, the corresponding files were also transferred when a competence was transferred. In 1917, for example, the processing of provisional dismissals, deferrals, etc. was transferred to the Department of Weapons and Field Equipment. The relevant files of Group A 3b and P 2 were then handed over to the WK Department, which had begun to maintain a separate diary in 1917. It was continued unchanged by the group renamed P 1. This group worked exclusively on the awarding, procurement, return and replacement of orders and decorations. The diaries of department P include the main series from 1896, still started by the Centralbureau, and the special series for order affairs from 1917, as well as a demobilization diary from 1914. After the end of the war, a new division of business in the War Ministry came into force in May 1919. Department P has since been called Department General Command (GK) - Personnel Office. With the adoption of the Weimar Constitution, the entire army administration was transferred to the Reich. On 28 August 1919, the War Ministry was renamed the Reichswehr Command Post in Württemberg. This authority ceased its activities on 30 September 1919. It was replaced on 1 October 1919 by the Army Processing Office of Württemberg. The work still to be done in the area of the old Department P was continued in the personnel department of the Processing Office until 31 March 1921. Officially, all unfinished business was settled at that time. 2. on the history of the collection and its order: the own files of the Abwicklungsamt were transferred to the Reichsarchiv branch office in Stuttgart together with the files of the ministry taken over. There, a separate "Heeresabwicklungsamt" (Army Processing Office) was formed, essentially for the files that had grown up exclusively with this authority. The ministerial files were sorted out and structured according to departments - if possible in the order of the old file numbers. In a few cases, documents of the settlement office were filed in ministerial records. The Reichsarchiv branch took over some of the lists, such as those of medals bestowed by the War Ministry, as hand files or to supplement them. This activity ceased before the Second World War. However, these lists were not initially incorporated into the holdings of the old Ministerial Department P. At the beginning of the administrative work in the autumn of 1970, summarily recorded and completely undeveloped files and volumes of the personnel department were found at various storage locations in the Gutenbergstraße building. A summary list named Friedensstammlisten, which had already been collected in 1940. The same fate was experienced in 1949 by the mass of the so-called war files of the sections A 3 and P 2-4 since 1915, as well as by documents on staffing and applications for restitution. Of the original 96 bunches (about 25 linear metres) of this stock, 22 (about 5.5 linear metres) still existed. In addition, there were 30 listed bundles with files on the bestowal of orders, a number of leading binders and other loosely mixed files of the personnel department, some of them from the hand registries of former Army Archives specialists. There were essentially four registry layers:1. files that were created before the First World War. They bear file numbers (1.3.1.1. Vol. I), which are arranged according to chapter, title, section, number and any number of volumes. Files originally created in the Centralbureau also bear such signatures. The position Lit(tera) provided on the pre-printed file covers between the data section and number was not occupied.2. Files created in the First World War before 1917. They usually carry mnemonic file numbers (RKM = Red Cross Medal, KrA = War Files).3. Files which were newly created at P after 1917. They do not have file numbers.4. files, especially lists, without any file number.4 Since these layers overlap in time, a factual structure was preferred. The affairs of the Order were preceded. A few volumes were sorted out which had not been given access by P and which had been mistakenly included in the records of the personnel department during the brief division of the war ministry files. Only isolated insignificant loose documents and empty forms were collected. Some volumes of files, which actually belong to this collection, were not erroneously removed from the inventory of the administrative department (B). Reference is therefore made to this stock. The records of the order are also found in the documents of other ministerial departments according to their provenance. Following the actual title records, old signatures (AS) - if available - are indicated in each case. Then follows a list of the places at which the individual fascicles were led: C bzw. Z, MA, MA(P), AP, P, HAA (Heeresabwicklungsamt), Reichsarchiv branch office The indexing was carried out by Buchsteiner in autumn 1970. He also worked out a first attempt at order. The revision of the title recordings and the final order was carried out in the spring of 1971 by State Archives Councillor Dr. G. Taddey. The stock was packed by the Westenfelder archive employee. It comprises 355 fascicles in 12.60 m, as well as 75 diary volumes in 3.75 m Stuttgart in March 1971(Taddey).

The history of the authorities: Within the Ministry of the Interior established in Stuttgart in 1806, Department IV was responsible for local government matters. In the course of the dissolution of the four district governments (established in 1817/18), in June 1924 the Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration was established as a middle instance affiliated to the Ministry of the Interior, which existed until 1934 parallel to Department IV within the Ministry (cf. holdings E 180 I-VII in the State Archives Ludwigsburg). After 1934 the ministerial department was only a department of the interior ministry. In 1945, responsibilities were divided regionally between the newly established state administrations of the interior in Stuttgart and Tübingen. From 1952, the newly established regional councils of Stuttgart and Tübingen were given the same responsibilities to a large extent as had previously been assigned to the ministerial department as the central authority of the interior administration. The eleven to thirteen business units or Division IV's papers essentially covered the main areas of responsibility: church and corporate matters:Membership of local authorities, changes in regional, district and municipal authorities, national emblems, municipal names; representation and administration of official bodies and municipalities, supervision of administration, visits, state supervisory municipalities; legal relationships of civil servants and employees of official bodies and municipalities, salaries, pensions, accident and health care;Supervision of the asset management of municipalities and official bodies, budget matters, foundations, accounting; municipal uses, real community rights; publications of municipalities and official bodies; savings banks; taxation, finance statistics; water matters general and individual, division into three ("technical") business divisions or The three regionally defined districts I, II and III have departments for the organisation and distribution of responsibilities. The files E 151/01 (Chancellery Directorate of the Ministry of the Interior) Bü 284, 285, 289, 753, 774 contain information on the organisation and distribution of responsibilities. Processor's report: The records of Department IV - Municipal Affairs of the Ministry of the Interior were previously available in the partial inventories: E 151 d I : Handover register from 1956 with a special register from 1966 for the files concerning the State contributions to the water supply of the municipalities (both now part of inventory E 151/41);E 151 d II : Handover register of 1958 (now part of inventory E 151/41) with a special register of the files of the Ministry of the Interior on municipal finance statistics received via the State Statistical Office (now inventory E 151/44);E 151 d III: Handover register from 1981, partly with files, which have entered the Main State Archives via the Regierungspräsidium (now part of the holdings E 151/41);E 151 d IV : Documents concerning the Sparkassenwesen (now part of the stock E 151/41), received with the files of the stock E 151 d III; a special list of personnel files of the municipal and corporate officials of 1966 (now stock E 151/42) and a special list of job files of the local heads of 1966 (now stock E 151/43). as the overview shows, the files concerning the state contributions to the municipal water supply were included in the files of the same subject from the delivery of 1958 (AZ. IV 2499), arranged according to counties, arranged in the same subject from the delivery of 1958 (AZ. IV 2499) (AZ. IV 2499). These documents comprise 2.8 linear metres and can now be found under the signature E 151/41 Bü 1110-1144. The provisionally formed part of the savings banks sector was also dissolved. The file group was added to the main holdings E 151/41, and a separation of provenance was also carried out between files of the Ministry of the Interior (4.6 linear metres) and files of the Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration (2.9 linear metres). m) ClassificationSince it was no longer possible to determine a file plan of the municipal department of the Ministry of the Interior from the time before 1945, the order and classification of the holdings was established on the basis of the file numbers assigned throughout (from department number IV and a file number of up to four digits, recorded in the Findbuch as the first preliminary signature). This procedure proved to be useful insofar as after 1945 the files continued to be filed according to this registry plan and were thus also transferred to the Main State Archives in 1956, 1958, 1962 and 1981 ( cf. the holdings EA 2/401-404 ).The structure of the holdings attempts a reconstruction of the file plan. In addition, some older files still have a box/special signature, which was not taken into account, however, as a presignature in the recording. The few tufts on school matters within the Ministry of the Interior are, however, to be found in fonds E 151/02 (Ministry of the Interior Department II). The order of tufts of files within individual series according to districts is based on the administrative division according to the Law on the Division of the Land of 25 April 1938 ( Reg.Bl. für Württemberg vom 3.5.1938). In general, provenance separations as well as a separation of pre- and post-files (cut-off date 8 May 1945) were made in the indexing, provided that it was not only a matter of individual documents whose removal from the present set of files would not have made sense (see list following the preface).Larger cassations were not carried out, only duplicates, other duplicates and a few tufts were sorted out (0.4 m). In November 1990, Dorothee Breucker, an archivist, began the cataloguing of the holdings. She was in charge of the main part of the order and indexing work (indexing of tufts 1 to 997 and 1101 to 1256 as well as separation of provenances and pre- and post-production work). Within the framework of the practical training of participants of the 26th and 27th semesters of the Second World War, the Commission has developed a new training programme. The students of the second Fachhochschule course worked on the drawing with Daniela Deckwart (Bü 1110-1144, drawing and classification), Nicole Röck (Bü 1257-1265), Thomas Schreiner (Bü 1266-1268), 1317-1330), Katja Hoffmann (Bü 1269-1301, 1315, 1316), Edith Holzer (Bü 1302a-1314, 1285a), Armin Braun (Bü 1331-1356, 1358, 1359), Andrea Rößler (Bü 1360-1379), Hartmut Obst (Bü 1380-1391). Working student Ulrike Kirchberger (Bü 1392-1413) and Archivoberinspektorin Sabine Schnell (Bü 1424-1557) finished the indexing; the latter also took over the final editing of the find book. Archivist Wilhelmine Kovacs took care of the demetallization of the files as well as smaller repairs and the packing of the tufts in archive boxes.The title entries were recorded on MIDETIT forms, the find book was created with the help of the MIDOSA program package of the Baden-Württemberg State Archive Administration. The E 151/41 collection now contains 48.5 linear metres of files with a running time of (1814) 1820-1945, with a few follow-up files up to 1955 (1965). The majority of the files date from around 1900. the partial holdings E 151/42 comprise 1.7 linear metres, E 151/43 2.3 linear metres and E 151/44 14 linear metres of written records.

1. history of authorities: The nobility matriculation commission was established in 1818 by King Wilhelm I. within the Ministry of the Interior in order to guarantee the observance of the rights and duties of the Württemberg hereditary nobility (1). The commission's task was to create and continue the personnel and real registers as well as the electoral rolls for the First and, until 1906, the Second Chamber of the Württemberg State Parliament (2). On the one hand, the families had to prove their nobility status and rank, which usually took the form of a certified copy of the nobility diploma, and on the other hand changes in the family or ownership circumstances had to be reported. In return, some of the former aristocratic rights were preserved. Depending on their size, aristocratic estates were granted the rights of a class rule or a manor. In addition, they still had various landowner's rights, among other things. After an extensive renewal of the nobility registers in 1844 and 1845, the Commission was dissolved in December 1849 and its files handed over to the Interior Archive. In June 1857, however, it was reinstated under the leadership of Regierungsrat Golther (3).With the end of the constitution of the sovereign estate in Württemberg in connection with the revolution of 1848/49, the aristocratic owners of the manor, some of whom found themselves in financial difficulties after the redemption of the peasant taxes, sold a large amount of land, on the one hand to liberated farmers who remained in agriculture, and on the other hand to the state of Württemberg, which in the second half of the 19th century promoted the construction of fortified roads and above all the railway. In return, however, bourgeois people were now also allowed to acquire knights' estates, which for a time could certainly be regarded as prestige objects. After the end of the monarchy, the special rights of aristocratic estates and manors were finally abolished. In the course of this development the Adelsmatrikelkommission was dissolved in 1924. 2nd inventory history: The documents of the aristocratic matriculation commission were delivered by the Ministry of the Interior to the main state archives in Stuttgart in two deliveries in 1904 and 1924 (4). The first delivery was roughly indexed in 1913 in an archival register, whereby some documents of the knight cantons were taken from the time before 1806 (5). The original 481 file volumes and 170 volumes (land registers) received the inventory signature E 157, later divided into E 157/1 (files) and E 157/2 (land registers). The delivery of the commission of 1904, which contained in particular documents and registers covering several families, received in the meantime the signature E 157/3, but could not be clearly separated from the remaining stock, so that E 157/1 and E 157/3 were finally reunited. The typewritten archive directory from 1924, which was still used as a finding aid in the Main State Archives until the present repertory was processed, shows the systematic structure according to which the holdings were stored in the Ministry of the Interior. Accordingly, the documents concerning the Württemberg hereditary nobility as a whole were placed at the beginning. This was followed, in alphabetical order in each case, by series of special nudes on noble families, estates and manors. With the family files of the not wealthy hereditary nobility in each case the initial letter in the alphabet was combined to a federation. The exmatriculated knights' estates also received their own category: the respective file categories consist of quite uniform files, which, however, have a very different scope. The family files usually contain concepts of the personal record sheets as well as information about births, baptisms, marriages and deaths, occasionally also documented by newspaper clippings. Particularly noteworthy are the handmade representations of the coat of arms of the majority of the families, some of which were designed with a great deal of artistic effort and additional work, which presumably served as models for the aristocratic coat-of-arms book kept by the Cabinet Ministry (6). the files on estates and knights' estates usually contain reports of the upper offices and district governments on changes in ownership and other changes as well as completed questionnaires for the compilation of the real register or extracts from the land register for the exemten properties. With the manor files colored maps and / or detailed descriptions are often also available. 3rd processing report: In order to ensure a more targeted research in the stock, the archival indexing of the stock was started in spring 2004. This led to the division of the file bundles, some of which were listed only in summary form, into individual or factual files, which was carried out on the basis of quadranguulation. Also large file bundles starting from approx. 10 cm circumference were divided. The list of important changes in the noble families or estates and manors was made with the help of the notes containing them. Special features such as coat of arms drawings and ground plans / site plans were recorded in the notes. Since the hand-painted coat-of-arms drawings of numerous noble families seemed predestined for presentation on the Internet, their digitization took place in the period from October to December 2004 with the help of the archive inspector candidates Sandy Apelt, Katja Georg, Stefan Spiller and Christina Wolf as well as the intern Madeleine Schulze. The coats of arms are in this way directly observable in the online find book belonging to it, with the production of the classification the original arrangement of the existence served as basis. In order to obtain a more consistent step-by-step model, the files for the personal register (wealthy and non wealthy hereditary nobility) and the real register (class rulers, knights' estates, exmatriculated knights' estates) were combined in the virtual arrangement of the holdings in one superpoint each. Further documents concerning Württemberg aristocratic affairs and families in the 19th and 20th centuries can be found in the following holdings:E 40/33:Ministry of Foreign Affairs: AdelssachenE 60Königlicher LehenratE 105Verträge Württemberg mit seine Standesherrn und sonstigen AdligenE 146Ministerium des Innern III, Teil 1E 147Ministerium des Innern III, Teil 2E 151/2Ministerium des Innern, Abteilung II: Rechtssachen, Staatsangehörigkeit, PersonenstandE 156Ministerium des Innern: AdelssachenJ 30/2Sammlung Josef SeligJ 40/8Nachlass Hans JänichenJ 40/63Sammlung v.

The delivery list for E 157 was therefore assigned to the inventory E 61x (8), the inventory was registered with the help of the programs MIDOSA 95 and Microsoft Access, the packing of the documents was done by Elisabeth Mainhardt and Rudolf Bezold. Some previous files (9) from the time before 1818 with a total volume of 0.2 linear metres were taken from the holdings for reasons of provenance and transferred to the State Archives Ludwigsburg (file no.: 7511.6/2769 and -3711). The collection now comprises 882 tufts of files (Bü. 1-180, 180a, 181-881) and 24.2 linear metres of shelving. In addition, the index was supplemented by concordances as well as a location, person and subject index, offers a considerably improved depth of indexing and is also available on the Internet as an online finding aid.Stuttgart, December 2004Johannes Renz Footnotes: (1) The documents for the establishment of the commission for the nobility register are in stock E 156 Ministry of the Interior: Nobility matters(2) On the constitutional circumstances of the former nobility of the German Reich see the preliminary remark on stock E 156(3) cf.

Foreword: The E 130 c holdings at hand comprise personal files of employees of the State Ministry and the authorities directly subordinated to it, insofar as these employees left the service in May 1945. Staff only listed in lists or in basic salary forms were also included, but left in the original files, unless their own personal files were already available. The files of the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which were taken over by the Ministry of State after the First World War or for whose pension claims it was responsible, were also integrated into the inventory. Due to the close interlocking of these files, however, a separation could not always be carried out completely; further personal details may therefore still have to be found in the files of the Foreign Ministry itself. Furthermore, from the business records of the Ministry of State, archival records were separated which, according to today's opinion, are to be regarded as pure personnel records (E 130 IV, No. 58, NI. 107). The documents on the ministers in file group B 1, C 1, C 2, C 4, C 7, C 8, C 9, C 11 remained in the holdings of documents on the ministers in file group B 1, C 1, C 4, C 7, C 8, C 9, C 11. Files on employees who left the civil service only after May 1945 or entered the civil service after this date are in the holdings of EA 1/13 (State Ministry, personnel files from 1945). The stock E 130c comprises 136 numbers. From November 1971 to June 1972 it was sorted and listed by archive inspector candidate Joachim Herzer. In May 1973, the archive employee Westenfelder recorded further files which arrived later and which also established the final order.Stuttgart, supplement: When the holdings E 46 were dissolved within the framework of the redrawing of the holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the personal file of the Secret Chancellor's List Wilhelm Henne was found under the signature E 46 Bü 644, the provenance of which turned out to be that of the State Ministry. Therefore, the file was added to the inventory under the signature E 130c Bü 137. At the same time, the finding aid book was prepared for the Intranet.Stuttgart, in February 2007Johannes Renz

I. On the history of the Württ. Ministry of Justice and its registry relations: The manifesto of organisation of 18 March 1806 determined the business circle of the Minister of Justice and defined the structure of the Department of Justice (Regierungsblatt 1806 p. 6 f., bes. §§ 2, 5, 34-53; cf. F. Wintterlin "Geschichte der Behördenorganisation in Württemberg" 1, 5. 280 f., II p. 140 f.; A. Dehlinger "Württembergs Staatswesen in seiner historlichen Entwicklung bis heute" 1, p. 124 f., 388 f.). The Ministry of Justice experienced a reorganization of its business area, which remained almost unchanged for several decades, through the Royal Decree of 8 November 1816 (Government Gazette 1816 p. 347, especially §§ 5 and 9) and the 5th Organizational Edict of 18 November 1817 (Reyscher III, p. 470). On the day after Mauclers was appointed Minister of Justice, 9 March 1818, a Royal Decree was issued on the "state of affairs at the Chancellery of the Minister of Justice" (E 31 Bü. 204). The head of the chancellery remained the head of the Schwab Tribunal. On 29 February 1818, the Secret Registrar of the Second Section of the Privy Council Amandus Heinrich Günzler was charged with the revision and organisation of the Justice Ministerial Registration Office (Regierungsblatt 1816 S. 396; E 7 Bü. 60: II. Dept. 1818; E 31 Bü. 167; cf. E 1-13 Diarium 1818 Diary No. 2673). The fact that Günzler was occupied with this task at least until March 1819 can be inferred from a letter of thanks of 29 March 1818 addressed by him to the king concerning a gratuity for his activity in the Ministry of Justice (E 5 3d. 61). Hit of the order of the ministerial registration carried out by him one seems to have been generally satisfied. Thus the Minister of Justice expressed himself very appreciatively in the 1820 annual report of the Department of Justice for the year 1818: "For more than ten years this ministry lacked its own registrar; and in spite of all the efforts of the few workers, the number of occupations of the offices of this ministry, which had been identified as highly inadequate for a long time, in the earlier period, neither significant business backlogs nor, in particular, order in the registry system could be prevented. Now this order is perfectly established from the very beginning (1806)" (Annual Report 1818 in 3 33 Ed. 126 and E 302 Ed. 969). File plans, repertories or diaries of the Ministry of Justice have not been preserved, with the exception of a diary kept from 1840 (December) to 1364, which refers exclusively to high treason concerns such as the action against the "Bund der Geächteten" and the "Junge Deutschland" (E 301 Bü. 55 Nr. LV). Nevertheless, the registration scheme introduced in 1813 can be reconstructed on the basis of the subjects and signatures as well as the references to the file covers. The registry was divided into two sections: The first section consisted of the Generalia, later also called General Acts. These have been sorted alphabetically by subject. The individual subjects received up to the letter R including Roman identification numbers, subsequently inserted subjects, but also the subjects from letter 3 remained without such numbers. In the Generalia, the main type of documents is those relating to legislation and individual offences. The second department initially had no name. In order to distinguish it from the Generalia, which used blue file covers, the registry material was deposited in red file covers. Around 1850 this department was given the name "A. o. G." "("General organic articles"). In particular, it was assigned the files on personnel matters of the Department of Justice, the supervision of the judicial authorities as well as the treasury and auditing systems. Over time, the two departments have overlapped (e.g. Gen. Budgeting - A. o. G. Budget; Gen. Holiday Bü. 14 Holiday chamber A. o. G. Holiday chamber). Since November 1921, the A. o. G. files were no longer maintained. Classified items that had been removed were marked "closed" on the file covers, all others were transferred to categories of the general files (e.g. A. o. G. Minister ~: "From Nov. 1921 cf. G. Staatsministerium or A. o. G. Gerichtsvollzieher 3: "1922 all items in the files were transferred to G. Gerichtsvollzieher 9 and continued there"). Work on the reorganisation continued until 1923. Since the duration of the files of both departments almost exclusively ends in 1922/23 (exceptions): E 302 Bü. 1: 1922-1936, Bü. 912: 1904-1924, Bü. 1216-1218: 1919-1924, Bü. 1319: 1894-1925), they may have been retired on the occasion of this reorganisation of the registry. In addition to the documents of the two departments just described, the Registry of the Ministry of Justice also kept the files of some abolished authorities and commissions. Although these holdings were preserved as closed registry bodies, they were brought into organic connection with the written records of the Ministry of Justice itself: with the exception of the College of Penitentiaries, which only dissolved in 1921, they were incorporated as special sections of the Generalia Department. In contrast to the Ministry of Justice, most of the diaries and repertories are preserved for these stocks. Altogether, there are six authorities or commissions whose documents were wholly or partially incorporated into the registry of the Ministry of Justice: the Ministerial Commission for the Investigation of the Revolutionary Activities of 1833 in Württemberg, the Mortgage Commission, the Organizational Execution Commission, the Supreme Judicial Review Board, the Commission for the State and Government Gazette, and the College of Prison Officers. The Ministerial Commission established by the Most High Decree of 29 May 1833, to which the President of the Privy Council as well as the Heads of the Departments of Foreign Affairs, Warfare and Justice belonged, was to ensure "coherence, unity and acceleration" of the investigations already initiated into the revolutionary activities discovered in Württemberg in 1833. The Commission existed until 1839. about the files resulting from its activity informs the directory located in inventory E 301 Bü. 18 Unterfaszikel 1 /_ 33. The Mortgage Commission, which had been formed by Royal Resolution of 30 May 1825 ~ 8. 383), was responsible for advising on and implementing the deposit laws and for clearing up the deposits in the municipalities. The board of the commission headed by the Minister of Justice was the director of Schwab. Members were appointed to the Supreme Tribunal Council of Bolley, the Supreme Pupil Council of Steudel and the Reutlingen Chief Official Judge Schickardt. The Commission was empowered to issue instructions to the Higher and Local Courts. It was dissolved by decree of 12 January 1832 (Government Gazette 8.20). The new "Mortgage Commission", which had been set down at the same time, had to deal with the issue of the deposit system for specimens. A first organizing and executive commission entrusted with the implementation of the organizing edicts of 1817 existed from 18 November 1817 to 15 January 1818 (Government Gazette 1817 p. 542 and Government Gazette 1818 p. 21), a second from 27 August 1821 Government Gazette 1821 p. 671) to 15 August 1828 (Government Gazette p. 675). The members of the second commission were the Minister of Justice as head (conductor), the Minister of Finance, the 'head' of the Department of the Interior, as well as the senior tribunal councils of Schwab and von Bolley and the senior government council Waldbauer. A diarium and repertory (E 301 Bü. 140) have been preserved for the period from 27 August 1821 to 10 September 1828. The Commission's registry had classified the documents it had received into two series. In the registry of the Ministry, the files included in the Generalia Department received new signatures, partially disrupting the old order. The Supreme Judicial Review Office, created on 2 November 1807 (Government Gazette 8.537), was headed by the Ministry of Justice and was in charge of reviewing criminal cases. With his dissolution ordered by Royal Decree of 23 September 1817, his portfolio was transferred to the Criminal Senate of the Upper Tribunal (Reyscher Vol. VII 8. 542). Only the minutes for the years 1807 to 1817 of the documents produced during the Oberjustizrevisorium were transferred to the registry of the Ministry of Justice. The Commission for the State and Government Gazette was established with the publication of a State and Government Gazette ordered by King Frederick on 22 January 1807 (Government Gazette p. 1). In addition to the Privy Council Freiherr von Spittler, which acted as President, seven councils of Stuttgart's central authorities were members of it. Hofrat Werthes was employed as editor of the government journal and secretary of the commission; he died on 5 December 1817. After the death of King Frederick, the commission was dissolved, the supreme supervision and leadership of the government journal "united with the attributions of the Department of Justice" (Reyscher Vol. III 5. 478). The relevant files, which had grown up at both the Commission and the Ministry of Justice, received the signature CLXXIV in the Generalia Department of the Ministerial Registry. They were handed over to the State Archives Ludwigsburg as a separate delivery (Delivery II) in 1939 and recorded by Dr. Max Miller from inventory E 303a in 1948. The Prison Commission formed on 21 December 1824 (Regierungsblatt 1825 3. 1) was given the name Prison College in 1832 (Regierungsblatt 1832 5. 243). This college was responsible for the economic and police administration of all higher prisons as well as the establishment and maintenance of the district court prisons in Württemberg. After it had been repealed with effect from December 1, 1921 (Government Gazette 5. 521), his. functions to the Ministry of Justice. The files of the College of Prisons have been incorporated into the Registry of the Ministry of Justice as an annex to the two departments of Generalia and General Organic Objects. TWO. The documentation of the Württ. Ministry of Justice in the Main State Archive Stuttgart: The documents of the Ministry of Justice, initially kept in the State Archive Ludwigsburg and since 1969 in the Main State Archive Stuttgart, cover a period of about 115 years, i.e. it documents the business activity of the Ministry from its foundation in 1806 until the time after the end of the First World War. The files that grew up after that until the administration of justice was "handed over" at the beginning of 1935 did not reach the State Archives, they perished in the Second World War. Apart from this painful documentation gap, however, for more than a century the written material of the Ministry of Justice, which is to be rated very highly as source material for the modern history of Württemberg, has essentially been preserved and is accessible to scientific research. In accordance with the three stages in which the State Archives Administration has taken over the registry of the Ministry, these documents are divided into three archival holdings: E 301 Ministry of Justice 1 (= 1st delivery 1910), E 303a State and Government Gazette (= 2nd delivery 1939) and E 302 Ministry of Justice II (= 3rd delivery 1962). As a result of this gradual transfer of the documents to the archives administration, which was carried out from the point of view of the files dispensable for the Ministry's operations, the original registry order was torn apart. However, as already mentioned, it could be reconstructed on the basis of the notes on the file covers. This reconstruction of the old registry order and the interlocking of the three deliveries is shown in the following table. III. the order and scientific development of the stock E 302 Ministry of Justice II: While the first two deliveries by the Ministry of Justice in 1910 and 1939 were carried out by way of file separation and the recording of these orderly transferred archival records in the State Archives Ludwigsburg caused no difficulties, the situation was fundamentally different with the so-called third delivery. This stock, which had long been considered lost, was found in 1962 during clearing work at the storage facility of the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court (Urbanstr. 18). How he had got there could no longer be determined. With the permission of the Ministry of Justice of Baden-Württemberg, the files were transferred to the Ludwigsburg State Archives on 4 October 1962, from where they were transferred to the Stuttgart State Archives in the spring of 1969 as part of the redistribution of the holdings held in the Stuttgart State Archives and the Ludwigsburg State Archives. In the years 1969 to 1972, under the direction of Dr. Sauer, the ladies and gentlemen Dr. Eitel, Beutter, Fruhtrunk, Pfeifle, Rupp, Dr. Schöntag and Steimle recorded a total of 36 ongoing holdings. Since the tufts of files were completely confused and also a part of the tufts was torn open, whereby the contents were confused, the original order of filing had to be reconstructed on the basis of the notes on the file covers, the subjects and the quadrangles. This succeeded surprisingly completely. In the few cases where no signatures could be established, the tufts concerned were classified according to their category. At the end of the inventory, the files of the Prison College and the personnel files of Prussian members of the judiciary who had been transferred from Hohenzollern and the province of Alsace-Lorraine to the Württemberg Judicial Service after 1918 were placed. It would have been obvious to combine the E 302 holdings with the E 301 and E 303a holdings in accordance with the old 'Registraturordnung' to form a complete Württ. Ministry of Justice collection. Since, however, the stocks E 301 and E 303a have already been quoted very frequently in the scientific literature, a "general revision" was omitted and only carried out on paper (cf. the tabular overview in Section II. of the introduction). However, files which, like the "Repertorium über die Akten der vormaligen Criminal-Revisionsbehörde von 1819" or the Büschel "Gerichtliche Verfolgung von an den revolutionären Bewegungen 1849 Beteiligten durch die Untersuchungskommission Hohenasperg", clearly belonged to inventory E 301 were classified there. Archival records and printed matter that were not provenance of the Ministry of Justice or could not be organically included in the holdings E 301 or E 302 were removed and assigned to other archive holdings or to the library (usually the department of official printed matter) according to their provenance: A larger collection of general rescripts from the years 1770-1822 was included in the relevant rescript collections of the HStA. Files from the Stuttgart Regional Court, the Waiblingen Local Court, the district courts, the Ulm prison and the Schwäbisch Hall prison were handed over to the Ludwigsburg State Archives. Issues 3 and 6 of the Atlas zu den Berichte der Cholera-Kommission für das Deutsche Reich (1877 and 1879) as well as the Kriminalpolizeiblatt (Kriminalpolizeiblatt), volume 1938, were added to the library of the HStA. Stuttgart, February 12, 1973 (Dr. Paul Sauer) Supplement (2006): The find book of the present holdings, which had previously only been typewritten, was entered by Silvia Ebinger in Midosa95 in spring 2005 and converted by the undersigned into the new ScopeArchive indexing software. In the course of the revision of inventory E 301 in the same year, the commissions located at the Ministry of Justice were dissolved and the new inventories E 305/1 - E 305/6 were created. In this context, the mixed inventory E 303a (Ministry of Justice: Staats- und Regierungsblatt), which had been catalogued by Max Miller in 1948 and contained files of the Commission for the Staats- und Regierungsblatt (now: E 305/5) as well as of the Ministry of Justice itself, was also dissolved. The latter documents now form the new category "Staats- und Regierungsblatt" (State and Government Gazette) in the existing holdings of the General Files and were given the signatures E 302 Bü 1373a - 1401. In return, the documents of the Prison Commission previously held in holdings E 302 now form holdings E 305/6. The removed files continue to be listed in the finding aid book; the signatures concerned are marked with curly braces.

History of the Ministry: The Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs, initially also known as the Cabinet Ministry and headed by two ministers, had existed since January 1, 1806. According to the Organization Manifesto of January 18, 1806, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Württemberg" since then. March 1806 it had "all negotiations with foreigners, the maintenance and strict observance of existing treatises, correspondence with foreign ministers, the execution of the King's public correspondence with other regents and governors, the affairs of the royal house, the ceremonial with foreigners, the ceremonial inside, the management of the postal service, matters of the order, raising of rank, the use for the royal subjects abroad, issuing of passports and certification of documents intended for the same". It also supervised the police in the residences of Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg. By decree of 12 February 1812, this area was separated from the Ministry and an independent Ministry of Police with extended powers was set up. 8 November 1816, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was responsible for the organisation of the Privy Council, which was essentially the tasks described in the organisational manifesto. Only the post office was subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior, as far as it did not fall within the area of the House of Thurn und Taxis. The Chancellor of the Order, usually the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was now responsible for the affairs of the Order, while the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and of the Interior shared responsibility for the administration of the affairs of the nobility. A Royal Rescript of 19 July 1819 approved the division of the Ministry's internal service into two sections, a general political section and a legal section. The latter was responsible for political and diplomatic relations, the latter for consular and international legal assistance. The Transport Department, established in 1864 alongside the Political Department, supervised the general directorates of the Württemberg Posts and Telegraphs and the State Railways. The Ministry also included the envoys, consuls and other diplomatic agents, the Haus- und Staatsarchiv, the Lehenrat and the Zensurkommission until its abolition in 1848. After the foundation of the Reich in 1871, the Ministry continued to exist with limited responsibilities. After the President's decree had merged the Chancellery of the Political Department with that of the State Ministry with effect from 1 January 1920, the Foreign Ministry was finally abolished by the Act of 29 April 1920; the remaining tasks fell to the State Ministry. The overall registry: The records of the political department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were arranged according to a classification scheme. Within the individual categories, the files were usually arranged chronologically according to main fascicles, which in turn were arranged and numbered according to subfascicles. The headings could change over time (e.g. "uses"). If the order in the registry of the ministry had already been disturbed, it became completely unclear due to the numerous deliveries between 1872 and 1938 to the Haus- und Staatsarchiv; because these ministerial files, sometimes mixed with documents of subordinate authorities, were distributed among the holdings between E 36 and E 65, depending on the date of delivery. The order begun in the 1960s has the aim of forming "classified inventories" according to the categories used in the Foreign Ministry. The categories that belong together are grouped together in one inventory, whereas the categories "Varia" and "Uses" are dissolved and classified under the corresponding categories. Found condition and formation of the inventory E 40/72: The inventory E40/72 consists of the following categories:1. "War material" from the inventories E 36 Verz. 18, E 46 and E 52, extent approx. 3.3 running m2. "German Affairs 1866-1871" from the inventory E 41 I. Appendix, volume approx. 2.5 m3. "War" (concerning I. World War) from the inventory E 49 Verz. 12, circumference approx. 7.5 m4. "Uses" and "Varia" (concerning military matters) as well as documents without recognizable registry designations from the holdings E 36 Verz. 14 and 58, E 41 Verz. 63 and E 49 Delivery 1938, volume approx. 0.7 linear metres. m Accordingly, the larger part of the holdings consists of documents from the First World War. Obviously the formation of the registry at the ministry could not keep up with the general temporal development, because under the file number "War 1 General" serial files were formed, which comprised 41 bundles (altogether 5.5 m) with 16339 quadrangles when the ministry was abolished. The situation was similar with the file number "Krieg 4 Kriegsziele und Friedensschluss" (war 4 war aims and peace agreement) (a total of 1.5 m), although a distinction was made between general files and the classification by states. It was only gradually, especially towards the end of the war, that the creation of files was begun; documents were also taken from the general files, and it was therefore necessary to dissolve these two large blocks in favour of the principle of files. Moisture and mold damages were determined in places, whereby after consultation higher place with larger damages, above all with threatening further writing loss the documents were copied. Gaps in the general files are also striking; indications suggest that some documents were subsequently added to the legation files and to the "federal files" (B. A. ); individual secret files kept in the "iron cabinet" seem to have been lost. The extensive collection of newspaper clippings, which is now to be found in the fact files and represents a unique documentation, is also worth mentioning. Since the total stock E 40/72 is composed of chronologically arranged rubrics, the classification according to the principle of the fact files appeared necessary here as well; however, overlaps could not be completely avoided. Files from the Conference and Army Ministries were added to the holdings E 272 and E 273, documents from the provenance of the War Ministry were handed over to the Military Archives, and only duplicates and blank sheets were collected. Pagination applied to various clusters of the total stock has become obsolete. Stuttgart, July 1997Wilfried Braunn Preliminary remark for the new edition of the Findbuch 2011: During the incorporation of the oldest delivery of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (former signature E 36) into the new inventory structure in 2007, it turned out that in particular in Verz. 60, which was arranged exclusively according to country categories, there were numerous other files concerning war and military matters. Since the content of these documents did not differ significantly from that of the documents already contained in E 40/72, a general classification in the holdings on general foreign policy (E 40/14 or E 40/18) did not appear to be in the spirit of the new resistance structure drawn up in the 1990s. In order to ensure that the structure of the inventory can also be traced from the user's point of view, these supplements were therefore incorporated into the existing inventory and the finding aid book was reissued due to its extensive growth. Minor content overlaps arise with holdings E 40/54 (police) in relation to rural policing and gendarmerie matters and E 40/59 (deduction, emigration and immigration, travel, citizenship) in relation to Württembergers in foreign military services (e.g. Foreign Legion) and the obligation of Württembergers to conscribe abroad. 1074 tufts or 16.0 linear metres of shelving are now held in the holdings.Stuttgart, March 2011Johannes Renz

Preliminary remark: The inventory E 40/34 consists essentially of the category "Orden" (old signatures E 36 Verz. 20, E 41 Verz. 63 Bü 21-25 and E 46 Bü 150-183, circumference approx. 3 running m). By regrouping within this category the new section "Awards" was created later (E 49 Verz. 22 Auszeichnungen, Umfang ca. 0,7 lfd. m). In accordance with the principles set out in the preliminary note to the Findbuch E 40/72, some documents from the categories "Varia" (E 46 Bü 1265) and "Uses" (E 41 Verz. 63 Bü 224 and E 49 AbI. 1938 Verw. 857) were also attached. In addition, the files grown from 1806 onwards were taken over from the holdings A 23 (Order Chancellery) (volume approx. 0.3 m). The majority of the documents in question are those of the Grand Chancellery of all the royal Württemberg states. After Kurt Hochstuhl had listed the category "Awards" in E 49 (order numbers 1-50), the undersigned took over the processing of the remaining files and the editorial final processing in the summer of 1997. The new stock E 40/34 now comprises 277 tufts with a circumference of 4.2 m. Further archival documents can also be found in the other stocks of E 40, pre-files from the 18th century in A 23. Reference is made to the preliminary remark in E 40/72 on the history of the authorities of the ministry and the principles of the new order.Stuttgart, December 1997Wilfried Braunn

Preliminary remark: The German colonies were founded mainly on the initiative of private individuals or trading companies, for whom the German Reich acted as a protective power. In addition to general political, legal and economic matters of the German colonies, the holdings also include documents on Württemberg personnel employed in the colonies (including disciplinary matters and awards of orders), church and school affairs, cultural affairs, medical affairs, public relations as well as colonial associations and federations.A detailed history of the authorities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can be found in the preliminary remark to fonds E 40/10, to which reference is made at this point. The present fonds E 40/17 consists of the earlier signatures E 46 Fasz. 591 - 597 and E 49 Verz. 3 B. A. 21 together. A large part of the documents was filed in the registry of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the heading "Bundesangelegenheiten" (B. A.), only Bü 55 originates from the heading "Verwendungen" (cf. concordance at the end of the finding aid book). Strictly speaking, it is therefore an appendix to fonds E 40/16, but for the sake of clarity it has been made independent. The extradition of the documents from the old fonds as well as the creation of the title recordings was mainly carried out by Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl and was completed by the undersigned in spring 2007. The final editing, however, was only carried out after the final allocation of all ministerial documents to the newly created holdings. The present stock comprises 55 numbers with 0.87 running metres of shelving.Stuttgart, November 2010Johannes Renz

I: With the Law of 6 November 1926 on the State Ministry and the Ministries, the Ministry of Economy replaced the Ministry of Labour and Food, which had been established in 1918. Since then it has been - under changing names - the supreme state authority for state economic management. In December 1946, the areas of responsibility of agriculture and food were spun off and merged into an independent Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry (EA/7). In 1947, the Price Supervision Office, which had previously been integrated into the Ministry of Economics itself, was also spun off and became an independent authority within the Economic Administration. As of 1 June 1948, the tasks of the Ministry of Economics were divided into the following business units:1. General, Organization and Chancellery Directorate2. Economic recording and economic organisation3. Commercial law4. Craft and other trades5. Foreign trade, inter-zone traffic6. Industry7. Planning, raw material and production control8. Pricing9. Economic statistics (for the business divisions see also Büschel 139 No.244)Josef André (CDU) from September 1945 to May 1946, Heinrich Köhler (CDU) from May to November 1946 and Hermann Veit (SPD) from December 1946 to June 1960 were the ministers in charge of the Ministry of Economic Affairs: II: The present file EA 6/001 (former signature EA 6/3) was handed over by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Transport to the Main State Archives in February 1975. These are general administrative files that have been stored according to a decimal file plan. However, this file plan could neither be found nor reconstructed. The subsequent structuring therefore took place according to the above-mentioned business parts; since, however, not all files could be integrated meaningfully into this order scheme, the order according to business parts was modified and supplemented during the processing. The pre-files in the inventory that were created before May 1945 were pulled out - as far as whole tufts were concerned - and assigned to inventory E 384 (Ministry of Economics 1926-1945). Individual documents dating from before 1945 were, however, left in the inventory. The majority of the files date from the period 1945-1952, with pre-files from 1869 and post-files up to 1970. ten tufts of files (the numbers 300, 301, 306, 312, 317 and 329 = 0.2 m) from the Ministry of Economic Affairs Württemberg-Hohenzollern were handed over to the Sigmaringen State Archives during the current indexing and rearrangement of the holdings. A total of 0.8 linear metres of files, mainly containing copies and hectographs, were collected, so that the stock now comprises 10.6 linear metres. The new indexing and structuring took place between September 1990 and March 1991 by the undersigned. The packing of the tufts in archive boxes provided archive of employed Fröhlich. The index was created with the help of data processing on the basis of the MIDOSA program package of the State Archive Administration of Baden-Württemberg.Stuttgart, August 1992Sabine Schnell

Inhalt und Sonstiges Die Beständeserie EA enthält die Bestände der Ministerien (und anderer zentraler Dienststellen) des ehemaligen Landes Württemberg-Baden (1945-1952) und des Bundeslands Baden-Württemberg seit 1952. Die Beständeserie wurde 1969 eingerichtet und 1987 neu organisiert. Der Gliederung und Signierung der Bestände liegt jetzt durchgängig folgendes Prinzip zugrunde: Die Bestände sind in der Regel nach den Ressorts der Ministerien eingeteilt; so entspricht EA 1 dem Staatsministerium, EA 2 dem Innenministerium usw. Für die Teilbestände wird dieser Ressortkennzeichnung ein Schrägstrich mit drei folgenden Ziffern angeschlossen. Daraus ergibt sich die Abteilungsgliederung und die fortlaufende Nummer der Ablieferung. Ein Beispiel: Die Signatur EA 3/102 läßt sich folglich auflösen als: - Kultusministerium (EA 3) - Abteilung 1 (EA 3/1) - 2. Zugang (EA 3/102). Teilbestände, die aus aufgehobenen Abteilungen oder von früheren Zuständigkeiten bei einzelnen Ressorts stammen, ebenso abgeschlossene Teilbestände aus der Zeit von 1945-1952 (Württemberg-Baden) werden der Gruppe 0 zugewiesen (Beispiel: EA 1/011). Personalakten erhalten grundsätzlich die Signatur /150 ff. Weitere Ministerialakten aus der Zeit von 1945 bis zur Gründung des Landes Baden-Württemberg verwahren: 1. das Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe: Landesdirektion Baden, Sitz Karlsruhe, in der die für Nordbaden zuständigen Außenstellen der Ministerien von Württemberg-Baden zusammengefaßt waren. 2. das Staatsarchiv Sigmaringen: Ministerien bzw. Staatssekretariate des Landes Württemberg-Hohenzollern, Sitz Tübingen. 3. das Staatsarchiv Freiburg: Ministerien des Landes Baden, Sitz Freiburg. Ende 1998 umfaßte die Beständeserie EA rund 250 Teilbestände mit rund 5000 lfd. m, davon sind nur knapp 700 lfd. m durch archivfachliche Findbücher erschlossen.

The estate of Friedrich Meinecke was transferred to the Secret State Archive of Prussian Cultural Heritage in several stages. Friedrich Meinecke handed over the first parts to the Prussian Secret State Archives in the early 1940s. This is the part of his estate that was removed from the salt mines in Central Germany to protect it from bomb damage and, after its recovery, was transferred to the former Merseburg office of the Central State Archives of the GDR, now the Merseburg Department of the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage (1.2 running metres of documents in total). Further parts of the estate were given to the Berlin main archive by his widow, Antonie Meinecke, while Friedrich Meinecke was still alive in 1952 and 1953 and thereafter until 196l. The Secret State Archives received an extensive part again in 1963 from Prof. Dr. Peter Claasen, Giessen, Troppauerstraße 42, a son-in-law of Friedrich Meinecke (previously described as a supplement to the estate). In 1971 and 1979, her daughter Agathe Meinecke handed over papers from her father's estate to the archive in Dahlem. The estate of Friedrich Meinecke was prepared by Dr. Herr and J. Krüger. They formed the archive groups described in more detail in the inventory overview under Part One and Part Two. Among them are also papers of the postmaster Meinecke, the grandfather of Friedrich Meinecke, and his uncle Rudolf Meinecke, Undersecretary of State in the Prussian Ministry of Finance, in sections XI and XII. In 1991/92 the undersigned arranged and listed the last unprocessed files of the Meinecke estate. These were 10 boxes, mainly Meinecke's correspondence, personal documents and printed material collected or published by Friedrich Meinecke. Since similar material was already in the Meinecke supplement, this was included again in the processing and related documents were combined. This should not only facilitate the evaluation of the extensive correspondence, but also the use of the holdings themselves, since the counting of the supplement, which previously began again with the number 1, was abandoned in favor of a sequential numbering following the actual estate. The previous numbers of the supplement can be found in a concordance. Files are ordered with the information VI HA Nl F. Meinecke No... Berlin, 20.2.1992 (Inge Lärmer) Addendum to Part Four (1950-1994 Central State Archive/Secret State Archive Merseburg) These files are part of the documents from Friedrich Meinecke's estate which were removed during the Second World War and subsequently kept in the Central State Archive/Secret State Archive Merseburg. After their return to Berlin in August 1996 they were annexed to the main estate of Friedrich Meinecke without detailed indexing. On the basis of a table of contents drawn up in Merseburg, the files contained in five packages and two cartons each received their own numbering, which counts further to the Dahlem estate. As a rule, the existing file titles were adopted; in some cases, the contents had to be supplemented. The previous count by parcels or cartons can be found in the column "old Merseburg signature". It should be noted that the numbering found on the packages/cartons did not correspond in part to the numbering in the above overview. The number now entered in the column "old Merseburg signature" refers to the numbering of this table of contents. A folder with letters addressed to Varrentrapp, which were included in the estate of Friedrich Meinecke as preliminary documents for the editorial staff of the "Historische Zeitschrift", was assigned to the estate of Conrad Varrentrapp (now VI. HA Nl Varretrapp), which was kept under Rep. 92, as a supplement to the correspondence to the "Historische Zeitschrift", also conducted there, concerning the period 1871-1873. Berlin, 13.9.1996 (Inge Lärmer) In January 2014 Mrs. Roswitha Classen, granddaughter of Friedrich Meinecke, sent further material. These include several photographs by Friedrich Meinecke and his wife Antonie, née Delhaes, as well as documents and photographs from the estate of other family members, the two sisters Dorothea and Johanna Delhaes and three of Meinecke's four daughters Ursula, Brigitte and Agathe Meinecke. The material was added to the estate under numbers 342-355 as part 5 "Meinecke Family". Berlin, January 2014 Dr. Schnelling-Reinicke Information on distortion: Meinecke correspondence was ordered alphabetically by sender. If the biographies and reference works in the archive did not show that they were Meinecke's students, they were marked by a "Sch" instead of the job title. The documents filed chronologically in the folders are numbered continuously within the initial letters. This numbering is shown after the name in brackets. In the items "2.1 Printed and published (listed in the bibliography of A. Reinold)" and "2.3 Reviews by Friedrich Meinecke (listed in the bibliography of A. Reinold)" the bibliography number of Reinold is listed in brackets preceded by an "R". Description: Biographical data: 1862 - 1954 Resources: Database; Reference book, 1 vol.

Enclosure: (Massey), to Lord Milner. Typescript copy 15 May 1919 Nauru.

History of the possession of the island Mainau: After the abolition of the Kommende of the Teutonic Order on the island Mainau in 1805, the Kommenden possession first fell to the Baden state; today the Kommenden archive in the General State Archives consists mainly of the holdings 5 (documents Mainau) and 93 (files Mainau). After a rapid change of ownership - 1827 from Baden to Prince Nikolaus von Esterhazy, 1827 from his son Nikolaus Freiherr von Mainau to Katharina Gräfin Langenstein - Grand Duke Friedrich I of Baden bought the island from Langenstein¿schem in 1853 with funds from the private box and made the Teutonic Order palace a secondary residence. With advancing age, the stays of the Grand Duke and his wife Luise became increasingly frequent; the park owes its design largely to Frederick's initiative. In 1907 the Grand Duke of Mainau died. After her death in 1923, the widow's residence of the Grand Duchess was transferred to her son Frederick II, and from him to his sister Victoria, Queen of Sweden. In 1930, their grandson Lennart, now Count Bernadotte, took possession of the Mainau. History and notes on tradition: The Schlossarchiv, which was handed over to the General State Archives in 1997 as a deposit of Blumeninsel Mainau GmbH, depicts the history of possession and the court holdings of the Grand Ducal couple rather fragmentarily. Only the planned stock has survived as a closed overdelivery complex. After the death of Frederick I, Grand Duchess Luise decided that neither the castle nor the park could be altered in any way, so the plans provide a good overview of the conversion of the old Kommende buildings and the layout of the park from the Grand Ducal period to the Bernadotte era. Almost all the plans came from the architects of the Grand Ducal Court Building Office (Dyckerhoff, Hemberger, Amersbach), a few from the Court Garden Centre, from commissioned companies and from the Constance District Building Inspectorate. Outside the island, only the St. Katharina estate near Litzelstetten and a park bench near Constance are documented. The plans were recorded in detail by Ms. Kreyenberg before they were handed over to the General State Archives; her index continues to serve as a finding aid for the plan inventory, while the file part of the archive consists only of fragments. There are internal and external reasons for this. The changing courtly style between Karlsruhe, Baden-Baden, Badenweiler and Mainau may have brought with it a transport of written documents, which in all residences allowed half site-related, half accidentally left behind layers of files to emerge. In many respects, the Mainau holdings correspond almost perfectly to the files that have been kept in the General State Archives since 1995 from the tradition in the New Palace in Baden-Baden: Here and there the boundaries between the files of the court authorities, the daily ceremony and the personal, princely estate can hardly be drawn exactly, here and there correspondence and telegram series, diaries and notebooks, private entries and greeting addresses, documents of the wide-ranging charity work of Grand Duchess Luise and much more can be found. (cf. GLA 69 Baden, Collection 1995 A, B, D, F I, FII, G , K). In a nutshell, the Mainau collection - insofar as it does not directly refer to the Mainau court - microscopically depicts the Baden-Baden manor; both collections relate primarily to Grand Duchess Luise, and only in the second to her husband and children. As in Baden-Baden, the Mainau collection also includes a large group of photographs documenting, among other things, the close ties to relatives of the imperial family. Unlike in Baden-Baden, however, the fragmentary character of the Mainau archive also seems to be due to unintentional interventions. In the summer of 1945, the castle served as a military hospital for former concentration camp prisoners; during this time, they are said to have burned the archives, the bookkeeping and the more recent documentation of the island and to have taken documents with them when they were released in September (Alexander and Johanna Dées de Sterio, Die Mainau, Stuttgart / Zürich 1977 p.93). It will no longer be possible to reconstruct exactly what kind of archive this was; in any case, it must have been the written records of the goods administration which were taken over by the successors of the Teutonic Order and continued through the 19th century. Only fractions of files from this area have actually survived in today's inventory. Editor's report: Because of the difficult history of tradition, the order of the remaining holdings was not easy either. A separation according to personnel and court office conveniences would have made little sense and would also have been hardly possible in view of fragments that could hardly be allocated. Thus special occasions (such as birthdays and anniversaries) and special source genres (such as notebooks or telegrams) now form the highest order criteria, then the reference to persons or events and finally, within a unit of records, the chronological order; however, most of these units of records had to be formed first, since at the time the inventory was taken over any order of parts was not recognizable; as a rule they were loose, connected sheets.In August and September 1998, in the context of the training for the Higher Archive Service, the holdings were arranged by Claudia Maria Neesen and Christof Strauß under the guidance of the undersigned and recorded and indexed with the help of the MIDOSA programme package of the Landesarchivdirektion Baden-Württemberg. Karlsruhe, June 1999Konrad Krimm Conversion: The finding aid was converted in 2015. The final editing was carried out by Sara Diedrich in April 2016. The plans and building drawings were added under the inventory designation 69 Baden, Mainau K to the inventory 69 Baden, Mainau and listed under the signatures 69 Baden, Mainau K 1 to 69 Baden, Mainau K 209.

On the history of associations: The beginnings of associations date back to the 18th century. In the 19th century, associations were founded on a grand scale, especially in the cities, where they became an important part of bourgeois culture and self-confidence. This was particularly evident in the pre-March period, when numerous clubs (e.g. also gymnastics clubs) were of political importance, and therefore the clubs appear in official records mainly in the upper offices and district governments that supervised the police. In contrast to other federal states, there was no special association law in Württemberg. The relevant regulations were found in the Criminal and Police Act of 1839. After that, polit. Associations must report their foundation to the responsible regional office and submit their statutes. However, the presentation of the statutes could also be demanded from non-political associations if "the government had cause for well-founded concerns" (Art. 15 Police Criminal Law of 1839, Reg.bl. p. 611). Participation in associations for unlawful political purposes" was punishable by imprisonment (Art. 139, Penal Code of 1839, Reg.bl. p. 101). The first coherent regulation of the association system in Württemberg represented the Bundestag resolution of 1854, which was introduced in 1855 in Württemberg (regulation concerning the regulation of the association system). This meant, however, a tightening of the existing association law, which was however revoked after the death of King William I. again. In Württemberg, there was no longer any legal basis for restrictions on freedom of association, police surveillance of closed societies and coalitions. Official action against associations was only possible in the case of a violation of the general penal laws. An association law was not enacted. The right of association and assembly had been a Reich matter since 1871 (Art. 4 Reichsverfass.). Until the adoption of the Reichsvereinsgesetz on 19.4.1907, however, only a few special areas were regulated by the Reichsgesetz, and the register of associations was introduced together with the BGB on 1.1.1900. However, unions and political parties (not even local associations) are not included in the register of associations; they renounced the status of an association with legal capacity in order not to be subject to numerous restrictions. If an association described itself as "political", it accepted the police law supervisory and intervention norms, e.g. also the Reichsvereinsgesetz of 1907, or exposed itself to a possible objection of the administrative authority (§§ 612, 622 BGB), but if it did not describe itself as "political", the state could withdraw its legal capacity from it as soon as a political decision was taken. This formal legal discrimination, however, did not mean any significant restriction of the right to form a coalition; the trade unions thus renounced the legal form of the registered association even after 1918, although the above-mentioned paragraphs of the BGB were repealed. The district court district of Stuttgart-Stadt encompassed the area of the Stuttgart city directorate until 1924 (excluding Cannstatt, Untertürkheim and Wangen). In the course of the administrative reform of 1923/24, the district court of Stuttgart Amt was dissolved and passed to Stuttgart Stadt (new name: district court of Stuttgart I). The district court of Cannstatt was renamed the district court of Stuttgart II and comprised the Stuttgart districts right of the Neckar river and Feuerbach. The same procedure was followed for later incorporations. However, Zuffenhausen and Stammheim came at their incorporation in 1931 and 1942, respectively, despite their geographical distance to the district court Stuttgart I (today, however, they belong to the district court Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt). Processor's report: The available files were handed over on 2.8.1984 by the district court Stuttgart (Tgb. Nr. 3477/3478) and received first the signature FL 300/31. The association register files were assigned, however, to the F stocks, since they contain entries 1900-1943 and a new counting of the association register begins after 1945 (FL 300/31, entrance 1974).The title recordings were made by the Zeitangestellte Emma Edling and the Werkschülerin Barbara Seiler. 1396 Büschel.Ludwigsburg, October 1986(gez. Back)

Administrative history: The cooperative movement of the 19th century emerged from the efforts of craftsmen, small traders and farmers to secure their own existence against the progressive development processes of economic concentration on large production sites. In 1848, Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen began setting up rural credit cooperatives, purchasing cooperatives and dairy cooperatives. Since 1849, Hermann Schulze-Delitsch developed self-help organizations for craftsmen and workers in the form of commercial cooperatives. Initially, cooperative registers were kept together with the commercial registers, but were made independent by the Reichsgesetz (Imperial Law) of May 1, 1889, concerning purchase and economic cooperatives. In 1924, the administrative courts of Stuttgart City, Stuttgart Amt and Cannstatt were merged to form the Amtsgericht Stuttgart I (Stuttgart I Administrative Court). This resulted in occasional double assignments during the re-sorting according to the register number sequence. During the administrative reform of 1938, parts of the old Stuttgart higher administrative office came under the jurisdiction of the Esslingen and Böblingen district courts. Inventory formation and indexing: The inventory FL 300/31 II Local Court Stuttgart: Genossenschaftsregister contains files and other documents of various delivery layers, including parts of a finding aid book on deliveries of the years 1974 and 1984 compiled in 1986, later arrived parts of the old inventory FL 300/31 II and further cooperative documents separated from commercial register deliveries (inventory FL 300/31 I). The cooperative register volumes were not surrendered. The most recent addition, from which files were incorporated into the inventory, is 2007/43. The inventory was sorted, separated according to files, volumes (classification point not documented) and other documents (lists of comrades, lists of names), in sequence of the GnR. A delivery processed separately by the temporary employee Richard Gehringer (access 1998/7) was incorporated, the remaining holdings were redrawn under the direction of Elke Koch by the temporary employee Winne Schubert, the final papers by the undersigned, and since the assignment of individual institutions for entry in the register of cooperatives or associations is not always traceable, it may be advisable to search the holdings for both types of register. The holdings F 303 III and FL 300/31 IV form the register of associations of the Stuttgart District Court. The holdings FL 300/31 II now comprise 350 files (Bü 1-55, 329-623) and 365 volumes (vols. 1-367, without vols. 26 and 59). Ludwigsburg, September 2008Regina Schneider Supplement: Interim Register: With access 2011/108, the interim registers of the district court of Stuttgart - register court, which should have been kept at the district court until 2020, were handed over prematurely to the Landesarchiv, Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg (order of the president of the district court of 14 February 2011). In addition to the interim registers, the name indexes were submitted (supplementary order of 6 May 2011). The holdings were supplemented by the file tufts 56-58 and a card index box (Box 1), which for the register of cooperatives means in concrete terms: these are typewritten register sheets with reconstructed entries from the year 1890 to about 1959, created as a replacement for the partially war-destroyed register of cooperatives. The register sheets of the interim register lie exactly in the sequence of the register numbers.All interim registers of the Stuttgart Register Court (HRA, HRB, associations, cooperatives) were in use for different periods of time, they were gradually rewritten to the "normal" register cards. For searches, the following recommendations of the Stuttgart Register Court must also be observed: "Instructions for searching for entries in the interim register: First, the name of the legal entity must be searched for in the web information at www.handelsregister.de". A hit appears if the legal entity was not yet deleted at the time the tab pages were transferred to tab pages. If no hit appears, the name card index (see 3.1, signature FL 300/31 II, box 1) must be looked through. In addition, an alphabetical search can be used to completely search through the transcript index (see 3.2, order signature FL 300/31 II Bü 58). The register of cooperatives also contains the copied register sheets on which the names of all cooperatives are listed, even if they have not been rewritten. In addition, the following peculiarity applies: cooperatives in which both the register and the files could not be found can be inquired at the register court. They are stored in the program RegisSTAR with the remark in the search result: "Registers and files are missing due to war". It was not possible to subsequently register these legal entities. The names of these cooperatives are therefore not available on the web directory "Ludwigsburg, May 2014Ute Bitz

Preliminary remark: The law of 13 August 1865 (Reg. Bl. p. 243) prescribed the maintenance of commercial registers in Württemberg. The provisions of the Commercial Register were clarified in the order of 31 October 1865 (Reg. Bl. S. 448ff). The commercial register was therefore divided into two main sections, namely a register for sole proprietorships and a register for companies; the latter included all public limited companies (AG), limited partnerships on shares (KGaA) and limited liability companies (GmbH), and in the period in question also limited partnerships (KG) and general partnerships (OHG). Initially, 4 commercial courts in Stuttgart, Heilbronn, Ulm and Reutlingen kept the commercial registers; after the Württemberg judicial reform of 1868, the (higher) district courts were responsible (Reg. Bl. p. 410). Until 1924, the district court district of Stuttgart-Stadt encompassed the area of the Stuttgart city directorate (excluding Cannstatt, Untertürkheim and Wangen). As a result of the administrative and court reform of 1923/24, the district court of Stuttgart-Amt was dissolved (see inventory F 305); the Sprengel was assigned - with the exception of Feuerbach - to the district court of Stuttgart-Stadt (now: Stuttgart I) (Reg. Bl. von 1924, p. 71). After the dissolution of the Stuttgart Higher Administrative Office in 1938, the court district was also adapted to the administrative boundaries; a large part of the towns fell to the Esslingen and Böblingen District Courts. The commercial register files recorded in this repertory were handed over to the State Archives by the Stuttgart District Court in 1984. They span the period from 1865 to 1938 and include not only sole proprietorships, but also all forms of corporate firms. 1986/87 the files were recorded and packaged by the temporary employee Margot Göbel and various students of the company under the supervision of Nikolaus Back. The undersigned revised the title records with regard to computer-assisted data acquisition using the "MIDEREGA" data processing mask from the "MIDOSA" program package of the Baden-Württemberg State Archive Administration. Hildegard Aufderklamm got the fair copy. Ulrike Leuchtweis completed the final corrections and revision of the index. Ludwigsburg, March 1990Dr. Nicole Bickhoff-Böttcher On December 10, 1992, the district court of Stuttgart delivered its commercial register volumes from 1865 to 1937 to the state archives of Ludwigsburg (access 1992/100). The volumes were signed and recorded at the end of 1993 by Hans Jürgen Seifried under the guidance of the undersigned. In the course of this, three volumes (previous signatures F 303 II Bü 529-531) already existing in fonds F 303 II were assigned to the fonds FL 300/31 II (Genossenschaftsregister) under new signatures of the volume series. Ulrike Leuchtweis, January 1994 In the course of the archive-fair repackaging of the files and the retro conversion of the finding aid book 2006-2009 the past collecting fascicles of the existence were dissolved. Each commercial register file received an individual tuft number, so that the old tufts 1-528 were re-signed into the new tufts 1-4484. The old tuft numbers are noted under pre-signature 3. The comparison between the finding aid register and the files showed that some files were not recorded in the finding aid register. These were subsequently recorded as tufts 4485-4501. The number of the last commercial register entry is noted in the file title after the company name (e.g. E 1/148: Volume 1 of the register for individual companies, Sheet 148). According to this number the find book is now also sorted. Vorsignatur 2 names the file number of the local court Ulrike Leuchtweis, September 2009

Preliminary remark: The files listed here contain - apart from 5 fascicles already earlier in the state archives Ludwigsburg arrived - files and volumes, which were taken over in March 1957 by the district court Ellwangen on the basis of a handover list. From the extensive file material (approx. 15 linear metres), mainly less important civil procedural files (980 cases) and some commercial register cases of lesser importance were eliminated; these cashed files were marked in red in the handover register. In addition, declarations of membership and resignations were removed from the cooperative files, provided that these changes can also be found in the existing membership lists. Finally, 2 volumes were extracted from the inventory and assigned to the inventory of the Regional Court of Ellwangen: Divisions 2.1 (civil proceedings), 2.2 (incapacitation) and 3.1 (criminal proceedings) were registered by cand. jur. Georg Grube, all other departments by the undersigned.Ludwigsburg, February 1958Lenth On Retroconversion: This finding aid book is a repertory that was previously only available in handwritten or typewritten form and that was converted into a database-supported and thus online-capable format. This can lead to a certain discrepancy between the modern external appearance and the partly outdated design and formulation of the title recordings. Use: When ordering, please indicate the complete signature, i.e. with the addition * (for general and judicial matters) Z (for civil matters), St (for criminal matters). To order non-contentious cases, only the bundle number (without suffix) is required.

Preliminary remark: Apart from very few fascicles already delivered in earlier times, the present collection was handed over by the District Court of Aalen in 1954. It contains volumes and files on almost all areas of law. Within the individual departments, the files were listed primarily in chronological order and then, where appropriate, in alphabetical order. In the case of bankruptcies and declarations of death, the number of the civil or trial list and - where indicated - also the number of the registry or repertory of the local court is given. 317 tufts = 4 linear metres are included in the file. Retroconversion: This find book is a repertory that was previously only available in handwritten or typewritten form and has been converted into a database-supported and thus online-capable format. In this so-called retroconversion, the structure of the template and the linguistic version of the texts were basically retained (motto: "transcription 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. Use: When ordering, please indicate the complete signature, i.e. with the addition of * (for general and judicial matters) Z (for civil matters) and St (for criminal matters). To order non-contentious cases, you only need the number (no additional number).

Description: ForewordAs already mentioned in the foreword to the first volume of the Findbuch der Themensammlung (Best. 7701), the Lauterbach Collection is divided into four sections. All periodically appearing print products, which could not be assigned to the topic collection, are summarized in a separate department. This department contains beside magazines and (few) newspapers also business reports, press releases, catalogs, calendars, thus everything, which appears in regular sequence (daily, weekly, monthly, annually etc.). This collection of periodicals is indexed by an alphabetical catalogue in the form of a card index and the present index. In the catalogue the periodicals are arranged alphabetically by title, whereby the first word (in the case of abbreviations the first string of characters), which appears on the top left of the title page, is decisive for the classification. Numbers, articles and connective words ("and, "or) are not taken into account in the appointment. If there are differences in the spelling of the title between the title page and the imprint, the spelling of the imprint is authoritative. nouns in the title associated with a hyphen are treated like a word, since the spelling of the hyphen is often not maintained throughout, especially in these cases. Parts of the title that do not appear in all volumes of a journal (often articles) are shown in parentheses. The next entry in the alphabetical catalogue is the subtitle. For journals with the same title, the subtitles determine the alphabetical order. If no subtitles are available, the name of the editor listed in third place is decisive. The further order of the title recording - by title, subtitle, editor - is: publisher, place of publication, frequency of publication, issues (if necessary), comments (if necessary). The title is recorded in square or pointed brackets with additions by the collector or editor, followed by a note of the years or how many issues of a journal are available per year and the signature under which they are filed. At the beginning of the indexing the existing issue numbers of a volume were listed individually. Due to the high expenditure of time, however, the indexing had to take place from the letter E - with some exceptions - in a more gathered form. the letters "LZ in the signature stand for "Sammlung Lauterbach Zeitschriften. The following digits are consecutive numbers assigned in order of distortion. Some signatures are marked with a * (LZ 8112 - 8119, LZ 8335 and 8353). These include anthologies of various newspapers and magazines from Germany, Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, some from different years. Changes such as changes in publisher, location, publisher, subtitle, etc. are noted before the start of a new volume, even if they have already taken place. Only the modified parts of the title record are listed, for all other information the original record remains valid. Publications published in Germany account for by far the largest part of the periodical collection. Periodicals published abroad are listed alphabetically by country of origin, then appended, and within the individual countries they are listed alphabetically by title. The alphabetical catalogue is supplemented by an index of subjects, places, corporate bodies and persons. Under the index entries the titles of the corresponding publications are listed alphabetically, whose signature can then be determined from the alphabetical catalogue. Most are German journals, if not, the title is followed by a note in angle brackets about the country of origin (e.g. France). The corporate income index essentially comprises the publishers of journals. The editors to be determined by the title of the publication in the alphabetical catalogue (e.g. "Linotype-Post") are not listed again. Publishers are only included if the publication is a publishing programme. Corporations that are specific to certain cities (e.g. public utilities, schools) are listed in the local index under the respective city. Entries in the location index only take place if the content of the publication refers to this location. It is therefore not an index of places of publication. Cologne, 27 March 1996Beatrix Klein

1. biography: Karl Joseph Wilhelm Florestan Gero Crescentius Prince of Urach Count of Württemberg was born on 15 February 1865 in Ulm as the younger son of Wilhelm (I.) Duke of Urach and Florestine Duchess of Urach née Princess of Monaco (1); the prince attended the primary school and the Jesuit grammar school in Monaco (2) together with his older brother Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach. In 1877 he moved to the Jesuit educational institution of Our Lady Stella matutina in Feldkirch. After a further change of school in 1881, he graduated from the Karlsgymnasium in Stuttgart in 1883 and studied for two semesters at the University of Munich (3) from 1883 to 1884. There he attended lectures in metaphysics and history of Greek philosophy with the professor of philosophy and later Bavarian Prime Minister and German Chancellor Georg Graf von Hertling (1843-1919) as well as lectures in political science with the journalist and writer Professor Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl (1823-1897). 1883 he was appointed second lieutenant à la suite of the Ulan regiment King Karl (1st Württ.) No. 19 (4). In April 1886 Prince Karl entered the active service of this regiment, but had to leave the active service due to illness. In March 1887, the prince retired as an officer à la suite from the active service of the regiment. In the following years the prince was granted the usual promotions for a member of the House of Württemberg under the position à la suite of the regiment: in 1887 he was appointed prime lieutenant, in 1891 cavalry master, in 1899 cavalry major and in 1906 lieutenant colonel. From 1884, Karl Fürst von Urach travelled extensively (5): from 1884 to 1886 he travelled South America, visiting the Cordilleras and studying the Indian tribes on the upper reaches of the Amazon (6). He later handed over the ethnological collection he acquired during his journey to the Linden Museum in Stuttgart. Also in the time after 1887 he often stayed in Italy, Greece, in the Balkans, in Egypt, where he owned real estate in Heliopolis near Cairo (7), and in the Ottoman Empire. In 1891 he took part in an expedition to Spitsbergen (8), in 1893 the prince travelled to the USA(9). The few documents on the trip to the USA (especially letters of recommendation) (10) that are preserved in the present inventory suggest that this trip was also used for ethnological studies of Indian tribes. So he learned Turkish, Arabic and Persian. Last but not least, between 1893 and 1925 the prince had Arab rooms (11) built into his palace on Neckarstraße in Stuttgart, which he decorated with furniture, carvings, tiles, works made of plaster stucco, carpets and other antiques from the Orient. During the First World War, Prince Karl was finally able to use his language skills and the knowledge he had acquired about this region during his many journeys to the Orient for his work as a German liaison officer in the Ottoman Empire (12). He performed this function between 1916 and 1917, when Prince Karl took over several honorary offices. He was president of the Württemberg group of the German Colonial Society (13) and member of the Württemberg regional association of the German Fleet Association (14). He supported the Society for the Promotion of German Settlements in Palestine (15). He also supported the work of the airship designer Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin by subscribing to shares in the company for the promotion of airship travel (16).Karl Fürst von Urach was awarded numerous orders in the course of his life (17): in 1883 the Prince received the Monegasque Order of Saint Charles, in 1889 the Grand Cross of the Persian Order of the Sun and Lions (18), in 1897 the Ottoman Order of First Class, in 1899 the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Medal. In 1910 he was awarded the Prussian Red Eagle Order. In 1916 he received the Wilhelmskreuz with swords and crown, one year later the royal Hungarian Order of Saint Stephen and the Iron Cross 2nd class. Karl Fürst von Urach died on 5 December 1925 in Stuttgart. He was buried in the Catholic section of the crypt of the castle church Ludwigsburg. 2. to the order and distortion of the stock:: Together with the Archive of the Dukes and Princes of Urach Grafen von Württemberg, the GU 120 collection was deposited in the Main State Archives in 1987. There, the archives of the House of Urach form the GU series of inventories within the inventory classification (tectonics). During the reorganization of the archive by Wolfgang Schmierer, Director of the Archive, the documents on Karl Fürst von Urach were given the signature GU 120, and since the materials were in a poor state of order, the units of registration had to be formed for the most part first. Where it made sense, the existing units were retained. During the indexing work, extensive documents were removed from the GU 120 holdings and assigned in particular to the GU 96 (Miscellaneous and Unclear), GU 100 (Foreign Archives and Other Collections), GU 107 (Florestine Duchess of Urach), GU 117 (Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach) and GU 202 (Bertha Freiin von Biegeleben) holdings. Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that further material of the provenance of Karl Fürst von Urach may be found in the as yet unlisted holdings of the House of Urach. by far the largest part of the holdings consists of the extensive correspondence of the Prince (category 2), above all with his mother (category 2.1.1) with his brother Wilhelm and his family (category 2.1.2) as well as with Bertha von Biegeleben (category 2.1.5). The latter was the court lady of his mother Florestine and a close confidante of the prince. In addition, correspondence with representatives of the German and European ruling and former ruling princely houses can be found in the holdings (Section 2.5). Karl Fürst von Urach also corresponded with numerous public figures (section 2.7), including scholars. Almost all correspondence is so-called unilateral correspondence, that is, only the letters of the correspondence partner are found in the existing stock. If there are isolated letters or drafts of letters from the Reigning Prince to the respective addressee, this is expressly mentioned in the title recording. Usually these are letters of the prince returned to the prince or his family afterwards. It should also be noted that Prince Karl did not make any copies of his correspondence. The correspondences can be regarded as an interesting source for the history of everyday life and mentality of the nobility. They show the manifold contacts which the prince maintained with members of other noble families. They also certainly offer details of the Prince's numerous journeys. However, it was not possible to index the contents of the correspondence due to the time and effort involved. Unfortunately, the correspondences and correspondence series contained in this collection sometimes have smaller gaps. It is not possible at the present time to answer the question of whether the previously unlisted holdings of the archives of the House of Urach still contain correspondence of the prince. Besides the correspondence, the extensive collections of photos and photographs (category 10) form the second largest part of the holdings in terms of the number of title recordings. Of particular interest are the photos and photo albums with photos from the Prince's numerous travels to South America, Egypt, the Ottoman Empire and the Balkans (Section 10.2.2). There are also photos taken during the aforementioned activity of the prince as a liaison officer in the Ottoman Empire during the First World War (section 10.2.4). Prince Karl's interest in Islamic (Arabic) art is also reflected in the numerous photographs of buildings and artworks of Islamic art, which are combined in section 10.3. Of the other materials preserved in the present collection, the Prince's manuscripts with literary and art-historical texts and a memorandum on the political reorganization of Europe by Germany in the First World War should also be mentioned, as well as interesting documents on the associations and societies in which the Prince was active and in which he was active. In an appendix (column 16) photos, an album and seal from the possession of the Wera Duchess of Württemberg née Grand Duchess of Russia are united, which after the death of the Duchess were handed over by her daughter Olga Prinzessin zu Schaumburg-Lippe to Karl Fürst von Urach.In addition, correspondences of the brother of Karl Fürst von Urach, Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach, to Charlemagne's estate, to the Arab rooms and to a newspaper article about the princes were added to the collection (19). Since these materials refer to Karl Fürst von Urach, the classification into the present holdings seemed to be reasonable. As expected, documents on Karl Fürst von Urach are also available in other holdings of the archives of the House of Urach. In particular the holdings GU 99 (photo albums and collections), GU 107 (Florestine Herzogin von Urach née Prinzessin von Monaco), GU 117 (Wilhelm (II.) Herzog von Urach) and GU 202 (Bertha von Biegeleben) are to be mentioned here. the archives of the holdings may only be inspected with the prior permission of the chief of the House of Urach. the holdings GU 120 were catalogued by the undersigned from autumn 2004 to April 2005. It comprises 4.6 running meters with 318 numbers.Stuttgart, in April 2005Eberhard Merk footnotes: (1) For Karl Fürst von Urach see above: Article by Wolfgang Schmierer in: The House of Württemberg.

Preface : The find book for the A r c h i v a b t e i l u n g B of the Stadtarchiv Werl was compiled in 1952 by the Staatsarchivrat Dr. Müller. Between 1999 and 2001 the find book was digitized by the current city archivist Michael Jolk and will now be published online by him in 2012. When J. S. Seibertz carried out the collection of material on his state and legal history of the Duchy of Westphalia and for this purpose also visited the archive of the city of Werl in 1832, he found, as he reports, a "total disorder" (Archive Department E Kaps. 9 No. 4). At the instigation of the District Administrator of Soest, the then Mayor Fickermann zu Werl therefore entered into negotiations with the head teacher Dr. Tross in Hamm, who at that time was reorganising the archives of the Erbsälzer-Collegium zu Werl, in order to also reorganise the municipal archives. Tross started working in the next few years. In 1877 the documents were repertorized on the basis of the Tross¿schen Regesten, while a number of other documents increased the numbers of the repertory. The editor of the directory was Dr. Giefers. Another hand later carried further documents and recorded - apparently for the first time - also the oldest files up to the end of the Hessian period, which were called Department B, and as Department C the protocols and official books of the city until 1816. The order of these files created at that time was left unchanged in the new archive order begun in 1948 by the State Archives Council Dr. Kausche. Within the framework of the entire archive, the department retained the designation Archive Department B. In 1952, the undersigned classified larger holdings which had subsequently been found. Where older tables of contents can be found within the packages, these files cannot claim to be complete; above all, the number of individual sheets or fascicles indicated there is no longer correct. Particularly remarkable pieces were highlighted in the repertory in the intus notes, whereby the subjects ejected in No. 27a and b, 39, 42 and 45 almost amount to a single distortion. The Roman numerals used in the old order were replaced by Arabic numerals. Werl, 10 July 1952 (Dr. Müller) Council of State Archives for Wv. __ Re-ordered from B 27a. Werl, 23 May 1972 Preising __ 1992 Michael Jolk privately compiled a register of files that was updated in 1998 and 1999. From December 1999 to 1.2.2001 the files were typed into an archive program after the title pages. Preising had only transferred abbreviated titles into the index and many names did not appear in the register as a result!

A r c h i v a b t e i l u n g C " A m t s b ü c h e r a u s v o r p r e u s s i s s c h e r Z e i t " Digitised in April 2012 by City Archivist Michael Jolk. Numerous additions were made by former city archivist Heinrich Josef Deisting. Preface of 1952 by Dr. Wolfgang Müller, who ordered the holdings for the first time: Of the order of this section created in 1877, only the sub-section I "Protocol Books" was left unchanged; for these, the present repertory represents a copy of the old index. Only the signature was changed insofar as the main groups were now marked with Roman numerals and the individual numbers with Arabic numerals. Since a larger number of previously unlisted official books had to be transferred to archives department C, it was recommended to subdivide the previous subdivision 2 into the new II-IV.

For conservation reasons, large formats were taken from file RM 2/2580 (old signature RM 2/2026). They are available under the signatures RM 2/2566 to 2568.

In the 14th century, the family of ministers of Düngelen established themselves in the town of Castrop-Rauxel. During the 15th century, Düngelen became one of the most important noble families in the county of Mark. Through marriage, Haus Bladenhorst fell to the von Viermund family around 1500 and to the von Romberg zu Brünninghausen family after 1610. The attack on the von Rombergs was long controversial. In the late 17th and 18th centuries Brünninghausen and Bladenhorst were administered together. After 1810 Bladenhorst broke away from the joint administration. Gisbert von Romberg transferred Bladenhorst to his son Clemens von Romberg, who in turn transferred it to his son Conrad von Romberg. The entire mining property of the von Romberg family was transferred to Bladenhorst in 1855. By marriage with Caroline von Romberg Bladenhorst fell to Baron von Weichs in 1881. Bladenhorst was sold to Klöckner-Werke in 1926 after lengthy preliminary negotiations. History of the stock The largest part of the stock was apparently moved to Haus Brünninghausen in the 18th century. On Bladenhorst remained the currente registry of the estate administration. After the death of Gisbert von Romberg, some documents and files were returned to Bladenhorst. The stocks stored there were recorded by Dr. Nordhoff in 1866. Parts of his inventory have been preserved in file number 100. In 1896, a fire broke out at Haus Bladenhorst that severely damaged or even destroyed parts of the stock. When the house was sold in 1926, the von Weichs family transferred the holdings as a deposit to the State Archives, which between 1908 and 1955 also took over the entire Romberg von Buldern archive, including the older holdings of Haus Bladenhorst, in several stages. In 1962 the deposit was supplemented by smaller supplements. The written material handed over in 1926 was accessible until 2002 in four partial collections of varying quality. On the occasion of the completion of the indexing work on the entire Romberg archive, the work on the deposit was also completed in 2002. The severely damaged documents were recorded by Prof. Ludwig Schmitz-Kellenberg in handwriting soon after 1926. Its indexing, which was hardly legible due to the peculiar writing style, was included in the VZ database and at the same time critically revised; at the same time, the holdings were checked for restoration requirements. The file was divided into three parts until 2002. (1) The so-called "Archive" with 98 units between 1493 and 1821 had been superficially recorded by R. Keimer around 1926. It comprises mainly residual traditions of the older Bladenhorst stock. The inventory was newly recorded. (2) The so-called "Registratur" comprised in XXV sections the files of the estate administration since about 1810 with previous files since the 16th century (522 Nrr. ) as well as a collection of 33 maps. The map holdings had already been removed and transferred by Dr. Sagebiel to the map collection of the State Archives (No. A 21265 - 21308) and listed. The indexing of R. Keimer covered up to 27 subvolumes under signatures that had already been extensively used by regional research. The re-drawing followed the numerus currens of the older class and allowed the order formed by Keimer with its units and signatures (according to the formula "Archive" 100) to exist. Three numbers were missing, approx. 15 volumes had been shifted the layer (3). (3) Approximately 5.5 linear metres of registry material was unrecorded until 2002. It mainly consisted of accounting documents which were included in summary form (No 622-922). A partial cassation was waived for legal reasons. The three layers were indexed by a common classification and an index and are now available as a finding aid. Source value The older documents and files up to 1800 are included in the archive of Romberg. The files after 1800 document the administration of the property of a noble estate until 1926, which was increasingly overlaid by mining and industry. Railways, mining and the chemical industry gradually restricted the land holdings of Haus Bladenhorst and its agriculture and forestry. This process is meticulously reflected in the files. Furthermore, the tradition of Romberg's mining estate in the 1850s is important. For the city history of Castrop(-Rauxel) the inventory is valuable because of numerous references to the city and court of Castrop. Literature: Culture and Homeland (Castrop-Rauxel) 13 (1961)

Contents of the finding aid book: The vast majority of the archival materials in the university archive are files, especially those of the university administration. The previous tradition in the area of faculties, institutes and chairs was not subject to a systematic concept. In the future, these gaps will also be filled. The area of certificates is mainly represented by doctoral and postdoctoral certificates (duplicate or copy). The area of official records is represented by administrative journals and business diaries (1869 - 1919, 1966 - 1969). The Collections section is represented by a newspaper clipping collection (1945 - 1996), which was taken over by the RWTH Foreign Institute. The other collections of the Hochschularchiv, such as estates, photo collections or objects, are not included in the present index. For this purpose, the university archive has its own finding aids, some of which are already accessible online. Structure of the finding aid book: The recording and structuring of the archived files in the university archive was not carried out according to archival aspects of provenance, but according to a rather factual approach, similar to the librarian indexing. The files were recorded by person and subject and kept in two separate series of index cards. The index cards were essentially created during the term of office of the scientific director Prof. Dr. Reinhard Hildebrandt. According to the Numerus Currens of the signatures, the individual file was recorded according to an archival model with title and further details (according to the content and thesaurus notes). This information was recorded on a so-called location map. These location maps are reproduced here in MidosaXML presentation format. In the absence of a separation of provenance, the information from the location maps is displayed in a complete file. The structure or classification of the entire stock is based on the order signatures and has only very general references to content, which are briefly placed in front of the individual structure levels. The original assignment of the order signatures provided for corresponding gaps for later file access and caused today's jump numbers. For the internet presentation, the file was checked for information that was questionable under data protection law.

Description of holdings: Abt. 40 Gemeindearchiv Herrnsheim (before 1945) Scope: 307 archive cartons 2 lfm Amtsbücher (= 2538 units = 49 lfm) Duration: 1445 - 1945 The preface to the present holdings Abt. 40 - Gemeindearchiv Herrnsheim (bis 1945) - des Stadtarchivs Worms is intended to give a brief insight into the development of the registry and archive material on the one hand at the time of its safekeeping in the Bürgermeistei Herrnsheim, and on the other hand since its takeover by the city of Worms. Subsequently, the indexing work is explained, with reference to special features and supplementary holdings. A short outline of the local history is sent in advance in the wording of the inventory overview of the Stadtar-chiv Worms, literature references to deepen the information on the local history can be found as an appendix to this foreword. I. About the local history about four km northwest of Worms; first mentioned in documents in 771; after the chamberlains of Worms (gen. von Dalberg, knightly family) had further enlarged their property in the village im-mer and extended their rights, they received it in 1375 as a fief (de facto rule in the village, market and court); Philipp Kämmerer von Worms made the village his residence: around 1460 construction of a castle on the site of today's castle, at the same time fortification of the village; 1470-92 reconstruction of a chapel of the parish church St. Peter (with numerous altars, patronage: monastery St. Peter's Abbey); 1470-92 conversion of a chapel of the parish church St. Peter (with numerous altars, patronage: monastery St. Peter's Abbey St. Peter's Abbey St. Peter's Abbey St. Peter's Abbey St. Peter's Abbey St. Peter's Abbey). Cyriakus/Neuhausen) to the family grave (thus situation of a small residence, which is well readable from a structural point of view until today); 1581 introduction of the reformation by Kurpfalz, 1635 extensive cremation of the place, Dalbergische local rule up to the end of the old empire; around 1900 approx. 2100 inhabitants; 1798-1814 French rule, from 1816 Grand Duchy and/or Volksstaat Hessen; 1816 Kanton Pfeddersheim, 1835 Kreis Worms, 1848 Regierungsbezirk Mainz, 1850 Regierungsbezirk Worms, 1852 - 1942 Kreis Worms; incorporation into Worms on 1.4.1942. II. municipal registry and archive In 1826, in accordance with the government decree of 25.7.1826, a register of the collections of laws, ordinances and instructions available in the Herrnsheim archive was compiled. The archive was refurbished in 1830/31 in connection with the construction of the new community centre. New furniture was commissioned and manufactured, including a filing cabinet for the archive and another for the mayor's office. Also the receipt of the Wwe. Ph. Ch. Schöneck from Worms of 20.4.1831 about 12 guilders and 19 cruisers for the repair of 28 steep cartons for the Bürgermeisterei-Archiv in Herrnsheim gives an insight into the file storage in Herrnsheim. On 30 October 1830, a circular was sent to all the provincial mayor's offices concerning the management of the files, concerning the "Order of the Provincial Municipal Archives". It is demanded that the official documents be sorted according to the aforementioned headings, that the files be sorted chronologically according to objects until 1830, then stored in cardboard boxes or cupboards in closed premises. The latter requirements were met - as explained above - in the new furnishing of the community centre. According to the circular, all receipts should be attached and the collection completed by 1 February of each year. On 27 March 1838 Mr. Völcker was commissioned by the district council to revise the municipal registry in Herrnsheim. In accordance with the registration plan for the mayors, he should inspect and arrange the documents on site and only receive his fees if he has completed this work in accordance with the regulations. Obviously this was not the case, because on July 26, 1838 the county council of Staedel assigned Mr. Peth from Bermersheim with the order of the municipal registry in Herrnsheim. A further inventory, which now also includes the files, was created for the community of Herrnsheim - presumably between 1905 and 1910 for valuation for insurance purposes. In the care of the mayor were an archive cabinet, two large file cabinets, a small file cabinet and an old file box. In addition to official and legal gazettes, various ordinances, handbooks and technical literature, 56 fascicles, the value of which could not be determined, are listed for the registry plan groups I - XXVI. In the following, numerous fascicles are listed both with details regarding assignment to the registry plan, duration and evaluation. Particularly noteworthy are e.g. the fair protocol book of 1716, guardianship bills and wills etc. 1699-1821, official and court protocols 1778-1798, fire register 1817, 1835 and 1848 as well as a new one. Also a local building plan (3 sheets), which is no longer available after current distortion, is proven in this inventory, estimated at 200 Marks. It should also be noted that there were several murals in the town hall, the Duke Dalberg, Emperor Wilhelm I, Emperor Wilhelm II and the Empress as well as members of the hess. Grand Duke's family, there were also other pictures, one, the volcanic eruptions showed another, the battlefield around Metz. The files mentioned in this inventory, which the registrar kept, seem to be available except for the volume listed here Birth, marriage and death registers 1780-1798. The next overview of the municipal archive Herrnsheim is provided in 1937 by Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Becker with his compilation of the inventories of the municipal archives of the district Worms. Here Prof. Henkelmann from Bensheim checked the existence of the community Herrnsheim and according to the file groups of the hess. The registry plan of 1908 is summarized. It should be noted that the oldest pieces mentioned here, e.g. the Morgenbuch (1626-1666; Dept. 40 No. 370), the Verordnungsbuch des Franz Heinrich Käm-merer von Worms Frhr. v. Dalberg (from 1742; Dept. 40 No. 1), the instrument of those at Neuhau-sen, about the provision of two Geharnischter at Herrnsheim (1445, no. 5), baker's order of 1736 (copy, dept. 40 no. 371) as well as further pieces already listed above in the inventory at the beginning of the 20th century, e.g. the fair protocol book, official and court records. In October 1914, the decree book of Franz Heinrich Kämmerer v. Dalberg as well as the instrument of those of Neuhausen were made available for use by the Grand Ducal Hessian House and State Archive in Darmstadt on behalf of the former Referendar Müller. Note: It is noticeable that the municipal council minutes are not available as a complete series, the earliest protocol book even only in 1836 begins. It is to be assumed and in comparison to other church archives as unusual to notice that this volume was at all the first protocol volume for Herrnsheim. It was acquired on 3 May 1836 alongside various other registers. According to the inventory (see above) three volumes were available at the beginning of the 20th century (1836/40, 1856/75 and 1875 ff), the pieces were valued at 90 marks. At least for the absence of a ribbon an explanation could be found in the files. The former mayor Brandt refused the publication of the protocol book in 1856. In 1986, the city archives once again attempted to investigate the failure of the municipal council records between 1840 and 1919, but the then head of the town Josef Wolf had to fit as well. There is also a gap in the series of municipal accounts with the corresponding volumes of deeds between 1924 and 1940. For the years after 1940, the accounts as well as the accounts and the corresponding documents of the Geschwister-Zimmer-Siftung for the period between 1921 and 1941/42 are missing. The loss of some files or the one or the other transaction can be explained by the fact that it happened that these were lost during the loan e.g. to the district office in Worms. For this reason, Herrnsheim refused to hand over correspondence with Freiherr Heyl'schen Güterverwaltung concerning the question of space for the fire station of the fire brigade to the Hessian Building Department in Worms. On his cover letter it was noted: did not happen, otherwise the files (like so many before already) would not be findable any more one day. In order to prevent the loss or destruction of files by air raids, Martin Fell and his wife were requested by the local administration on 21.9.1942 to secure important documents every evening and to salvage the files in the event of damage to the town hall caused by air raids. On 29.4.1943, in the course of the incorporation of Herrnsheim, the files were first transferred to the cellar of the Cornelianum in Worms. On the basis of the different file aprons the different used Regist-raturplans can be recognized, first 1836, then 1908 and finally after 1942 (with the inscription 'Stadtverwal-tung Worms'). Some file covers were preserved as samples in abbot 40 no. 2532 - no. 2534). For the fascicles belonging to the classification group XXI.09. Dalbergische Grundstücksangelegenheiten, the file aprons have inscriptions similar to those shown for files in Dept. 159. III. listing The written material taken over in the course of the incorporation 1943 was registered in the 70iger years after the Bär'schen principle, whereby as a rule the titles of the office books and minutes as well as those after the hess. file plans from 1836 or 1908 on the file aprons were taken over traditional inscriptions. This first registration work originally comprised 371 units, whereby the last registered units (from no. 331) were supplemented at later dates and comprised a running time until 1966. On 24 June 1971, the then District Court Director Dr. Heinz Pfannebecker handed over 12 documents to the City Archives, which obviously originated from the provenance of the Herrnsheim Mayor's Office. Most recently, in 2002, title recordings of sources from the still unlisted partial stock were made in connection with Volker Brecher's work on the war economy in Worms. Here, files were taken into account that were thematically related to prisoners of war, foreigners, etc. for the period between 1938 and 1950. In the inventory of Dept. 40, which had already been recorded, a few files exclusively with the term after 1945 were taken into account in the first registration. These were segregated and returned with the still unlisted part of the stock, which also included files after 1945, in order to be processed later in connection with Dept. 6 Municipality of Worms (after 1945). Since individual files may have already been used under their old signature, a list of these pieces can be found in the appendix of this finding aid book, which is currently stored in 29 archive boxes (plus some loose pieces) in the magazine of the Raschi-Haus (Regal 25) together with the total of six linear metres of written material after 1945. With the new indexing of the inventory Abt. 40 - Gemeindearchiv Herrnsheim - was started in December 2005, the indexing work was completed in July 2006. In addition to the written material already listed, unlisted material was also taken into account. The indexing work was carried out according to the Bär principle, whereby a new numbering inevitably resulted with the dissolution of earlier larger indexing units, i.e. new signatures were assigned for these documents. Therefore a concordance between old and new signatures was created and attached to this find book. The entire inventory was entered into the AUGIAS archiving program and simultaneously indexed (company, location, person and subject index). The basis for the classification was the hess. The file plan of 1908 was chosen and modified and supplemented according to local needs. For reasons of data protection, approx. 140 files were provided with blocking notices for use. The relatively high number results from the fact that a large number of civil documents are available for which the Civil Status Act provides guidelines for use or non-use. Thin folders from the period around 1930/40 were collected, which contained Generalia - often only in the size of 2-3 sheets - and had no direct reference to matters in Herrnsheim; in addition, two bundles of calibration maps were sorted out, which have no informative value whatsoever. In total, the scope of the cassation covers three archive boxes. The municipal archive Herrnsheim is kept to the extent of 2538 units of description (numerically up to 2534) in 308 archive boxes (49 linear metres, of which 2 linear metres are official books). The duration ranges from 1445 to the 1970s, with a focus on the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Despite incorporation in 1942, the cut for the index was set at 1945 so that two border data did not have to be taken into account within only three years, i.e. 1942 as the year of incorporation on the one hand, 1945 as the border year for the files handed down by the city administration before 1945 (Dept. 5) and after 1945 (Dept. 6) on the other. Therefore, the files were left in Dept. 40, in which at least one document from 1945 was still contained - irrespective of whether the temporal focus of the file tended to concern the period after 1945. IV. State of preservation The state of preservation of the files and official records of the present municipal archives can be described as good by and large. Unfortunately a larger number of pieces affected with mould is to be registered in particular under the calculations and documents, as well as the handbooks and diaries over incomes and expenditures: 45 with light mould infestation, with mould and water damages 7 pieces and 14 volumes are sport and have mould milk damages. Besides, a part of the document books to the calculations as well as a large number of the handbooks and diaries (approx. 140 pieces, i.e. approx. 5.5 es total stock) show beside mould and spores also water damages. Ten official books (invoice receipts and property tax section directories) are bound in such a way that parchment, which as a rule is inscribed with liturgical texts, forms the spine of the book in second use. Also thread-stitched files, as known from Prussian administration, can be found in Dept. 40. These are the official records (Protocollum Judicale, Dept. 40 No. 295 - 298). V. Tips for the use of the inventory The signatures of the individual sources are indicated with : City Archive Worms Dept. 40 No..... The often underestimated significance of the following sources should be pointed out here. In the volumes of documents relating to the invoices, in addition to newspapers (e.g. Dept. 40 No. 2409), there are also work chords (Dept. 40 No. 2469), invoices of various companies (Dept. 40 No. 2502), e.g. on work performed and material used for it (Dept. 40 No. 2504). The correspondence registers (e.g. Dept. 40 No. 651, No. 652) were also kept in full text in some years, so that the complete correspondence between the higher authority or private persons on the one hand and the mayor's office on the other hand can be traced in connection with the corresponding fact files. The significance of the inventory of estates as a source genre for genealogical, social and economic research should be pointed out in particular. The inventories are in the present stock under the classification group X.02.e. Inheritances and guardianship matters registered. There are also files on asset sharing and wills. For ease of use, the units of description have been sorted roughly alphabetically by surname, with all occurring surnames "underlined" at the same time. With regard to the index of persons, it should be noted that in very few exceptional cases the correct alphabetical order was broken. If the usual spelling of a common name was extremely changed, the allocation was made within the normal one, e.g. 'Pardong' instead of 'Bardong', here the classification took place under 'B'. If family names were used with equal weight in different spellings and their proximity was recognizable within the alphabet, no standardization or assignment was made, e.g. Ertelmeyer/Erdelmeyer. The company index was created so that smaller businesses in the municipality, which normally only run under the personal name (e.g. J. Hübner, Buchdruckerei), could also be recorded. It would be very difficult to find small companies within the index. Now the list can be flown over within the company index - also in case of classification (depending on how the transaction is usually called) partly under the first name, partly under the last name or under the business object. The prefix "Fa." was omitted because it was not used regularly [possibly also at different times] even by one and the same company. That's why it's uncertain to what extent he's really part of the name. Apo counters and restaurants mentioned by name were also included in this index. General designations such as locksmith's shop and glazier's shop have been added to the index.
