Laufmeter: 4

Administrative history: At the beginning of the war in 1939, following the passing of the Reichsleistungsgesetz (Reich Benefits Act) in the version of 1 September 1939 and of § 1911 of the BGB in the version of 11 October 1939 (cf. RGBl 1939 I, p. 2026 ff.), care and administration in absentia were ordered for Jewish property of all kinds, including stored goods, foreign holdings in German firms, real estate and stored stock. The property of Germans who were abroad at the time the law came into force could also be affected. These could be complete shiploads, e.g. from ships that were forced to turn back due to the danger of war. For example, the representatives of the Reich Office for Wood or the Reich Governor in Hamburg were charged with complete loads of wood that could not be assigned to owners or to the storage site of Hamburg at that time. The court-appointed caretakers and administrators were usually merchants and lawyers who were actually required to act for the benefit of their fosterlings. In the further course of the war, however, parts of the assets were transferred to the Reich or the "people's assets", so that not all caretakers took care of real clarification of the property situation or could not do so even in the absence of information, because documents were missing and could not be procured due to the war. The documents recorded in this inventory on the administration of assets of enemy foreigners, Germans staying abroad, and Jews who had fled abroad were first created in Dept. 5 of the State Administration in Hamburg (Economic, Agricultural, and Social Department), before they were transferred in the course of the war to the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Economic Affairs for the Wehrwirtschaftsbezirk X (Military Economic District X). It will not be possible to reconstruct in detail how they came from here to the office of the Great Criminal Chamber 8 (Economic Criminal Chamber) of the Regional Court. From here they were handed over to the State Archives in 1999 and - since they cannot be assigned to the Regional Court in accordance with the provenance - formed into the existing holdings. In addition to the individual care processes, there were also a few general administrative processes for the treatment of care. Archival history: The archive assistants Mr. Köppe and Mr. Nowak demetalized, relocated and recorded the mostly narrow individual processes under the guidance of the undersigned; Mr. Köppe subsequently recorded the archive records with "Findbuch"; they were revised and indexed by the undersigned.
