Fonds Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg, Abt. Staatsarchiv Freiburg, A 40/1 - Public prosecutor's office Freiburg (inventory)

Nr. 1-770

History of the authorities: The institution of the public prosecutor developed in Baden according to the French model since 1831 and was fully developed until 1845. The main task of the public prosecutor's offices was to investigate punishable acts according to the principle of legality, to bring charges if necessary and to make the evidence available to the court. In addition, they initially also had tasks in the field of voluntary (guardianship matters) and contentious jurisdiction (inheritance and incapacitation matters). As a consequence of the Reichsjustizgesetze of 1879, however, they lost their tasks in the area of voluntary jurisdiction. As a rule, the public prosecutor's offices at the district courts also performed the duties of the district attorneys at the district courts. The Freiburg public prosecutor's office had had a branch in Lörrach since 1919; it was closed in 1931, but reestablished three years later in 1934. Inventory history: The newly formed inventory A 40/1 - Public Prosecutor's Office Freiburg consists of various inventories and parts. The documents of the Freiburg public prosecutor's office previously held under the signatures A 40/1, A 40/2, A 40/3 and A 40/4 were brought together by way of systematic stocktaking by the higher authorities of the judiciary. In addition, in the more recent deliveries of the public prosecutor's offices in Freiburg and Lörrach, the documents that had been created before 1945 were determined and also assigned to the existing holdings. The allocation criterion was the file number assigned by the public prosecutor's office. Thus extensive documents from the holdings F 176/1, F 176/3, F 176/6, F 176/13, F 176/14, F 176/19 as well as F 177/1 and F 177/2 came into the present holdings. He now unites all documents of the Freiburg Public Prosecutor's Office and his Lörrach branch that were created before 1945 and that reached the Freiburg Public Archives. In addition, it also contains documents that were created in the course of the prosecutor's activity as senior prosecutor at the Special Court of Freiburg and that were partly included in the above-mentioned deliveries, partly from the splinter inventories A 47/2 and A 47/3 were attached to the present inventory. according to the year of the investigation,2. according to the place of residence of the suspect,3. according to the alphabet of namesCollecting files: thematic and chronologicalPublic Prosecutor at the Special Court Freiburg:1. according to the year of the investigation,2. according to the place of residence of the suspect,3. according to the alphabet of namesIn addition to the capital crimes (above all murder, arson, fraud, etc.), the investigation files contain numerous political investigation proceedings. The Lörrach riots in connection with the murder of Walter Rathenau are to be mentioned separately, as are the documents on the early history of the NSDAP in the Freiburg area and the numerous political offences in the Third Reich. 770 order numbers in 10.2 m have now been added to the collection. The overall index refers to the order number, concordances between the former Freiburg signature and the now valid order number facilitate the retrieval of the documents already frequently cited in scientific and local historical literature.
