History of the Inventory Designer: The personnel documents created in the personnel offices of the Reichsheer/Heer, Reichsmarine/Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe were collected centrally shortly after the war. However, large quantities had been lost in the war. The remaining documents were mainly collected in the Personenstandsarchiv II of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in Aachen-Kornelimünster and supplemented by further personal documents. This institution has been taken over by the Federal Archives as the Central Central Documentation Office (CNS). The personal documents of the Generals and Admirals went from there in the 1970s to the Military Archives Department of the Federal Archives. The personnel documents of the naval officers up to the lieutenant captain went to the German office (WASt), where they are still today. The personal documents of the officers and civil servants of the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht kept in the CNS were taken over by the Department of Military Archives in 2005 and have been held there ever since. Further personal documents, in particular personal files kept in the personnel offices, form the holdings RW 59. Description of holdings: The contribution essentially follows Absolon, Wehrgesetz p.362-374 (see Lit. verz.): The personnel administration in the Wehrmacht took place at various locations ¿ at the military replacement posts, at the replacement troop units, at the field troop units and in the personnel offices of the high commandos. The following personal documents were kept: - at the military stations: Wehrstammkarte: created by the police registration office at the time of registration for each person liable for service or volunteer, sent to the Wehrbezirkskommando (WBK) with the Wehrstammrolle; basis for the patterning and enlistment or volunteer acceptance; was then pasted into the Wehrstammbuch Wehrstammrolle: Wehrstammbuch (Wehrstammbuch), created by the police registration office as an accompanying list of ten military tribe cards each: created by the WBK after the draft or acceptance of volunteers with the military tribe card glued in place and continued throughout the entire period of compulsory military service; the content corresponded to that of the military passport; during active military service at the military unit, otherwise part of the WBK tribe card index, or at the end of the compulsory military service of the Wehrmeldeamt (WMA); at the beginning of the war, the military records of the soldiers assigned to the Feldwehrmacht were sent from the last peacekeeping unit to the responsible military service stations; after the soldiers had left the Feldtruppe, the military records were returned to the WBK or WMÄ after the corresponding unit had been entered, and the health records were continued there: Created by the military alternative service office which carried out the first examination of a conscript or volunteer; continued by the medical service offices Use card: issued for each replacement reservist I according to the model or volunteer acceptance at the same time as the military record book; served in peace to classify the conscript of the status on leave (d.B.) in war; in peace the use card index was divided into inventory, mob and indispensability card index, in war into inventory, RAD and restricted card index Call-up card: supplement of the use card for the conscripts d.B. who were classified as soldiers or Wehrmacht officials in peace mobile - in the case of troops: military passport: from the 1st World War onwards: from the 1st World War The document was issued on April 1, 1936 at the time of the mustering or voluntary acceptance and handed over to the holder; documentary evidence of the military service relationship during the period of compulsory military service; in peace during the completion of the RAD and active military service, it was accepted, stored and continuously supplemented by the responsible office upon recruitment; upon dismissal it was handed back and remained with the holder even after the end of compulsory military service; The military passports of the fallen, the deceased, and the missing were sent to the military substitute service station; after the data had been transferred to the military tribal record book, they were sent to the surviving dependants or, if none could be ascertained, troop rolls remained in the military tribal record book: in peace by all units, in war only by spare troop parts set up and led; with transfers an excerpt from the trunk roll was attached to the remittance papers war trunk roll: The war roll sheets of the fallen, deceased, missing, wounded and transferred soldiers and supplementary army officials were completed and sent to the responsible military replacement service office, those of the active Wehrmacht officials were sent to the Wehrkreis or Luftgaukommando, which led the main personnel personnel to identity cards: there was 1) a blue troop identity card for soldiers and Wehrmacht officials, issued in peace, with a photograph (form A; for those called up for exercises without form B); on dismissal the form A identity cards were destroyed, the form B identity cards went to the responsible military service stations; 2) a brown service card for employees and workers at Wehrmacht service posts; 3) a white special card for entering specially guarded properties, buildings or facilities; 4) an orange service card with a black longitudinal line for non-German followers employed at Wehrmacht service posts Soldbuch: from the beginning of the war, they were handed over to the soldiers and Wehrmacht officials of the army and the Luftwaffe and continued on an ongoing basis; the previous troop passes were destroyed after the issue of the pay books; the pay books of deceased or dismissed soldiers, as well as those that had become unusable, were sent to the responsible military replacement service office for insertion into the pocket of the Wehrstammbuch; on reappointment, they could be issued again; in the event of a loss of rank, they were completed and a new one issued; on 16 March, the military and air force officers of the Luftwaffe were issued with a new one. In November 1943, the introduction of a photograph on the inside was ordered; employees and workers at Wehrmacht service posts as well as other members of the Wehrmacht following were not given any pay books; the country's own auxiliaries in the east were given bilingual identification books, which were to be kept like pay books - by the high commandos: Personnel files: The entire personnel administration of the officers was carried out by the Army Personnel Office (OKH/PA) or the Air Force Personnel Office (RdL and ObdL/LP). There were kept about every active officer identity papers (personal files), consisting of: - a copy of the identity document - the annexes to the identity document (all important documents such as recruitment procedures, documents, certificates, letters of commitment, decisions in matters of honour, complaints, special incidents) - the medical documents (medical records, medical certificates, lists of damage to services) - the assessments - various files of military personnel files: For this purpose, the staffs of the respective units kept further copies of the personnel records with annexes, assessment drafts and supply procedures ¿ the so-called troop personnel files. The units joining the field army handed over these troop personnel files to the responsible spare troop units, for the officers from the battalion commander upwards to the responsible deputy general commandos; offices which were dissolved also handed over their troop personnel files to the deputy general commands; the troop personnel files of the Luftwaffe generally went to the Luftgaukommando responsible for the last peace site; The registration of changes in the troop personnel files was suspended during the war and was to be carried out after demobilisation; in the event of dismissal from active military service and in the event of death, the sick and care papers and a completed copy of the identity document with other documents were to be sent to the responsible Wehrmacht welfare and care office. The personnel files and personnel records of the officers d.B. and z.V. were kept and kept at the responsible military service stations. Wehrmacht officials kept ministerial files, main files and leaflets (side issues). Ministerial files: These were led and contained by the army administration office (OKH/VA), and/or by the air force personnel office (RLM/LP) with service beginning: - the proof of identity - the declaration of membership of political parties, lodges and other organisations - the declaration of military service - orders to convene, appoint, transfer, etc. - Determination of the seniority - other exchanges of correspondence in special attachments: - Examination papers and minutes of the result - the assessments - the criminal service matters main files: The main files with pre-stitched evidence of illness were kept at the military district and air district commandos, with any earlier personnel files of other places as supplements. Collections of sheets (supplements): The subordinate departments and generally the staffs and units kept only collections of sheets or supplements, consisting of a third copy of the identity card, the holiday certificate, the medical record and the correspondence produced there, via the civil servants in their area. The personnel files of the professional non-commissioned officers were kept by their responsible units and were kept during the war by the replacement troops. The personnel files of the employees and workers of the Wehrmacht were kept at the employment offices, the work books at the location wage offices. From 29 June 1944, the personal files of retired followers were to be destroyed after three years. The inventory RW 59 also contains the documents and finding aids (card indexes) for the awarding of orders and decorations, as they were mainly kept by the Army Personnel Office. These documents and finding aids had been gathered together by the Central Proof Office (CNS) to process corresponding inquiries. Parts had also been taken over from the stock RH 7 of the Federal Archives Military Archives as "permanent loans". These documents were transferred back to RH 7 in 2005 after the dissolution of the CNS. The rest of the collection (177 AU) is divided into two parts: Award proposals (69 AE) and general files from various bodies on various aspects of the award system as well as on holders of certain orders (108 AE). Due to the complex reference system of the CNS, it was decided to preserve this remaining collection as a whole within the RW 59 collection and to refrain from taking over the larger part of it to RH 7, as a separation from the remaining CNS documents would have made it too difficult to provide further information. The award proposals in RW 59 are therefore to be regarded as complementary to those in RH 7. In general, the finding aids in RW 59 can be used as evidence of the following main awards: Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class (2nd Class not continuous), Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross in the different levels, War Merit Cross 1st and 2nd Class, Knight's Cross of the War Merit Cross, German Cross in Silver, German Cross in Gold, Close Combat Bracelet in Gold, Air Force Cup of Honour, Air Force Bowl of Honour, Picture of the Reichsmarschall in Silver Frame, Mention in the Army Official Gazette, Mention in the Navy Official Gazette, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour of the Navy, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in the N. Especially for the final phase of the war, however, even the highest awards are likely to have gaps in tradition. The third part of the collection RW 59 contains a collection on military law and the organization of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS (215 AE), which has been compiled in the CNS. This collection essentially contains original documents which were taken from the original provenances by Rudolf Absolon in his function as director of the CNS for the production of the work "Die Wehrmacht im Dritten Reich" (The Wehrmacht in the Third Reich) and which had been newly formed as a handset structured according to subject matter. Content characterization: This inventory includes the Wehrmacht documents collected by the Central Proof Office (CNS), which it needed to deal with personal inquiries. These documents had been taken from their original provenances by the CNS. In addition, the holdings also include the Wehrmacht's human resources department, which was prepared by the CNS itself, and the CNS's filing of research enquiries on certain persons regarding presumed or actual membership in the Wehrmacht. After the documents had been transferred to the Federal Archives and Military Archives, it was decided to preserve this collection as a collection, since a division of the documents into their individual provenances and a separation from the actual CNS documents would have considerably jeopardised the further provision of information. Only the documents of the RH 7 holdings (Army Personnel Office) received from the CNS by the military archives as "permanent loans" and clearly delineated were returned to it. The inventory RW 59 in its present form is therefore an archival result of the decades of activity and working method of the CNS, which must necessarily be preserved in order to maintain the further ability to work in this area. State of development: The inventory consists on the one hand of important working materials for the department and on the other hand of personal documents. A use is therefore only possible via the specialist department. Pre-archival order: Until 2005, the files were kept at the ZNS in Aachen-Kornelimünster. During this time, only rudimentary archival inventories were created. Scope, explanation: 2500 AU Citation method: BArch, RW 59/...

Description of the holdings: From the independent departments of the Wehrmachtamt (from 1 March 1929 to 13 February 1936 referred to as the "Ministeramt"), the "Inland" and "Wehrmachtversorgung" departments were reorganised in the course of the reorganisation of the "Oberkommando der Wehrmacht" (High Command of the Wehrmacht) from 4 March 1929 to 13 February 1936. Until the beginning of the war, it had been assigned not only the Domestic Department and the Wehrmacht Welfare and Supply Department, but also a Department for Wehrmacht Administration and Wehrmacht Specialist Schooling, as well as a Department for Science. With the expansion of the previous official groups within the OKW into ¿offices¿ from November 1939, the official group was given the name of ¿General Wehrmachtamt¿ (AWA), which was valid until 1945, and, after the allocation of competencies for loss- and prisoner-of-war affairs, comprised seven departments and three smaller organizational units, including two liaison officers at the "Deputy of the Führer" and at the ¿Youth Leader of the German Reich¿. In the spring of 1941, the division was expanded once again to include the office of the "Plenipotentiary of the Supreme Command of the Wehrmacht for Settlement Issues" and by the appointment of inspectors for the welfare and supply offices, the prisoner of war system and the Wehrmacht grave officers. In 1944, finally, the merger of larger areas of competence into official groups (for welfare and supply matters, technical schools and settlement issues as well as for the Wehrmacht administration) was carried out. At the beginning of 1944, responsibility for the "national political training" of the Wehrmacht was transferred to the head of the NS management staff in the OKW, whose office was held by the head of the AWA (General der Infanterie Reinecke) in personal union. Preprovenience: Department of Domestic Affairs and Armed Forces Supply, Division of General Armed Forces Affairs Content Characterisation: The main part of the tradition comes from the Department of Domestic Affairs, which is responsible for relations with the civil administration and the NSDAP. These include files on internal affairs and internal security 1919-1940 (ban on associations and films, espionage); treatment of the racial issue (1933-1944); relationship with the NSDAP (including differences over military policy, incidents 1933-1937); proceedings against soldiers before party courts 1942-1943; treatment of Jewish front fighters 1933-1938; foreign issues (including Secret files "Foreign States" 1922 to 1939, assessments of the situation and descriptions 1925 to 1939); disarmament (1933-1936); international law (1940-1941); dealings with the Federal Foreign Office (among others Deployment of military and naval attachés 1933-1938, stay of ships abroad 1935-1939); domestic political situation and annexation of Austria (1934-1939); national defence and spatial planning (1935-1938); personnel affairs of the Wehrmacht and the army (u. a. Salaries, e-officers, reserve and land officers, workers and employees 1929-1941); Political assessment and monitoring of members of the Wehrmacht (1936-1938), Wehrmacht legal system (including individual cases of criminal proceedings against officers 1935 to 1938 and war crime statistics 1940 to 1942), army organization (1926-1942), training, maneuvers, and exercises (1933-1939), establishment of the Luftwaffe, and air defense (1933-1943), Education, military leadership and national political education (1933-1944, also documented by 88 "Tornisterschriften" published between 1939 and 1943 and five volumes of "Soldatenblätter für Feier und Freizeit", 1940-1944), propaganda (including press and radio affairs, 1928-1943). Further files are available from the Wehrmachtfürsorge- und Versorgungsabteilung (Wehrmachtforsorge- und Versorgungsabteilung) (e.g. Occupations and budgetary issues; statutory regulations; development and provisions of service and pension law; welfare and support for war veterans, former relatives, persons disabled for military service and surviving dependants; individual cases; foundations mainly Großes Militärwaisenhaus Potsdam with 40 files and Invalidenhaus Berlin with 10 files, 1920 to 1945; the Wehrmachtverlustwesen department (with organisation and deployment; collections of regulations [including registration, notification of relatives, soldier's etc.]); the Wehrmacht Lossesen department (with organisation and deployment; collections of regulations [including registration, notification of relatives, soldier's etc.]).

Description of the existing army: It was gradually enlarged by the allocation of further departments and official groups, further expanded in terms of organisation and personnel at the outbreak of war, and finally placed under the command of the Chief of Armament and Commander of the Reserve Army. The Army Office (AHA) worked on supplementing and arming the army in personnel, material and financial terms. The supplementary personnel department managed it according to the instructions of the OKW for the entire Wehrmacht. During the war it distributed the personnel replacement of the army among the replacement units and provided the replacement for the field army. In addition, the AHA had to work on the training regulations for the individual weapons categories and for the reserve army. The following annexes/links provide a detailed insight into the structure of the Office and the areas of responsibility of the individual organisational units: 1. overall structure AHA, 1939 (cf.

Regiment history: The regiment was rebuilt on 22 October 1852 as the 3rd Line Infantry Regiment. On 1 July 1871 it was renamed the 3rd Baden Infantry Regiment. As a result of the military convention concluded with Prussia and the associated numbering of the units, the addition no. 111 was added at the same time, following the Prussian model. From 18 December 1892, the unit was given the final designation of 3rd Baden Infantry Regiment Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm No. 111. When war broke out, the regiment belonged to the 56th Infantry Brigade (28th Infantry Division). At the beginning of the war, each infantry regiment, including the Reserve and Landwehr infantry regiments, had set up a replacement battalion for the training of replacements. In January 1915, a further replacement battalion was ordered. In addition to the training of the army replacement, new units were also formed by the replacement battalions. The 1st replacement battalion was erected on 2 August 1914 and stationed in Rastatt. The 2nd replacement battalion was also formed in Rastatt in February 1915. As a result of the demobilisation, from 2 May 1919 only the General Command, four higher dissolution staffs and one liquidation post each for each of the infantry and artillery regiments that were part of the peace budget before 1914 remained in the area of the XIV Army Corps. As a reaction to the so-called "Spartacus Uprising" in February 1919, the Reich and Badische Volksregierung had further voluntary associations set up at all units in addition to the existing voluntary formations. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained at the processing office of Infantry Regiment No. 111. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps began, in which the archives of the processing offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archives Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 317 fascicles with a circumference of 8.5 linear metres are included.

I. Introduction 1 History of the authorities The existence of the General Civil Commissions is due to the Napoleonic Wars and the Stein-Hardenbergschen administrative reforms. After the military collapse of Prussia in 1806 and the Tilsiter peace of 7-9 July 1807, the question of civil and military reorganization of the state arose. Prussia had suffered great territorial losses in the peace of Tilsit, including those areas which it had only gained in the second and third Polish partition of 1793 and 1795. From these areas Emperor Napoleon formed the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. The territory of Pomerania and the Neumark, on the other hand, was preserved and the network district was divided. The Immediate Commission for the Enforcement of the Tilsit Peace was established to implement the peace provisions. For Pomerania and the Neumark as well as for East and West Prussia, general civil commissionariats were established, which were subordinated to the Immediate Commission (Kabinettsordre of July 31, 1807). The General Civil Commission for Pomerania and the Neumark was headed by a proven financial specialist: It was August Heinrich von Borgstede (1757 - 1824) who was appointed to this post by King Frederick William III. After studying camera science and law at the University of Halle, Borgstede first worked in the Justice Department of the Kurmärkische Kriegs- und Domänenkammer before being appointed to the General Directorate, where he had been employed in various territorial departments since 1795. One of the decisive factors for his later appointment was probably the fact that he had been chairman of the department for the Kur- and Neumark and in the Pomeranian department since 1800. At the time of his appointment, Borgstede held the title of Privy Supreme Finance Council, War Council and Domain Council. The task of the General Civil Commission was to implement the conditions of the peace treaty in the provinces occupied by the French army. To this end, they had to maintain close contacts with the middle administrative level, which already included the newly established governments in addition to the war and domain chambers. In addition, interim chambers for the unoccupied regions of Kolberg and Treptow an der Rega have existed since 1807. They were dissolved after the withdrawal of French troops in September 1808. At the central level, the Civil Commissioners not only worked with their superior authority, but also with the corresponding territorial departments in the Directorate-General. They also had to cooperate with the French military and civil administration in their blasting operations. In addition, Lieutenant General Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher was appointed Governor General for Pomerania and the Neumark and moved into this capacity, first to Treptow an der Rega and later to Szczecin. The demarcation district, which is repeatedly mentioned in the document titles, are the areas in which Blücher's troops were accommodated. The border villages of the demarcation district are listed in the file GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 146 No. 141. Within this structure, the General Civil Commissioners' offices probably functioned primarily as'postmen', but also as a clearing house for financial issues and questions arising from the military occupation of their bloc. Accordingly, the documents of this authority reflect almost the entire range of tasks of the war and domain chambers: they were concerned not only with contribution and excise matters and with catering for the army, but also with customs, commercial and manufacturing matters, with the affairs of offices and cities, with salt and mill matters, with sovereign matters and with questions of good policey'. Time and again, the General Civil Commission offices also became the focal point for applications from subjects, with one group, namely the officials who had fled the ceded territories and were seeking reinstatement, standing out in particular. In general, personnel decisions as well as the supply of inactive soldiers and military personnel were the main tasks of the General Civil Commissionariats. Nothing is known about the internal organization of the General Civil Commission offices. Those who go through the archival records received get the impression that it was a small authority with a few officials, which perhaps did not need a strong internal structure. In the case of the General Commissariat for Pomerania and the Neumark, all business transactions obviously ran via Borgstede's desk. Together with the Immediate Commission for the Enforcement of the Tilsit Peace, the General Civil Commissionariats were abolished on 16.12.1808. As far as Borgstede was concerned as head of the General Civil Commission for Pomerania and the Neumark, he was put into retirement and retired to his estates. Towards the end of his life (1823), however, he was reactivated once again and appointed to the Prussian Council of State. 2. inventory history The files were originally listed by title in a file index from the 19th century. During a revision in the German Central Archives, Merseburg Department, serial numbers were assigned in 1962. U. transferred the titles to the archives database in 2010 (see also 3.) and reviewed the title formation of selected files in this context. 3) Instructions for use This reference book is not based on a re-listing of the holdings, but on the old reference book from the 19th century. The titles of the indexing units have been modernized and simplified in accordance with current archival standards. Source terms for old job titles and other special terms have been inserted in parentheses in normalized spelling. Place names were checked and reproduced in the current spelling. Place names that could not be identified were enclosed in quotation marks. 4th Literature Eberhard Lebender: August Heinrich von Borgstede.
