1st administrative history/biography: Carl Bach was born on 08.03.1847 in Stollberg in the Erzgebirge mountains as the son of the saddler master and carriage builder Heinrich Julius Bach. After attending primary school and private school in Stollberg, he completed an apprenticeship as a locksmith. In the years 1863 and 1864 he worked in the steam engine construction of the company R. Hartmann in Chemnitz. During this time he learned English in addition to his work. Then he was first a pupil of the Gewerbschule, later of the Werkmeisterschule, where he graduated at Easter 1866 with the overall grade 1 and the silver medal, which was only awarded in one copy. This year he took part in planning work for the Chemnitz water pipeline under the direction of Prof. Kankelwitz. After the following studies at the Polytechnikum Dresden he followed Prof. Kankelwitz as assistant for the years 1868 to 1872 to Stuttgart. After this time Bach studied again, this time with Grashof at the TH Karlsruhe, where he earned his diploma in 1873. In the following five years he worked as an engineer in Wollwich, London and Vienna, finally becoming director of Lausitzer Maschinenfabrik AG in Bautzen. He was elected to the Zittau Chamber of Commerce in 1877 and married in the same year. On 01 October 1878, Bach was appointed full professor of mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Stuttgart, where he established the Materials Testing Institute in 1884 and the Engineering Laboratory eleven years later. From 1885 to 1888 he was rector of the TH Stuttgart. One year later, on 20 June 1889, Bach was awarded the silver commemorative medal by the King of Württemberg on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the government. In February 1892 he received the Knight's Cross and on 25 November 1895 the Honorary Cross of the Order of the Württemberg Crown, connected with the nobility of persons. He was also awarded the title of "Construction Director". Already in 1883 Carl Bach was appointed to the Federal Polytechnic in Zurich, in 1895 to the Technical University in Berlin and in 1902 unofficially to the Technical University in Vienna. However, he did not follow any of these calls. On 22 March 1911 he was awarded the Commander's Cross of the 2nd Class of the Albrecht Order by King Friedrich August of Saxony, in 1914 the title "Staatsrat", in February 1916 he was awarded the Wilhelmskreuz by the King of Württemberg, in February 1918 the Commander's Cross of the Order of the Württemberg Crown. Also this year Bach was the first technician in Württemberg to receive the title "Excellence". From 1912 to 1918 Carl von Bach was a member of the 1st Chamber of the Württemberg State Parliament for the TH Stuttgart. On his 70th birthday, 1917, he became an honorary citizen of his hometown Stollberg and on his 80th birthday an honorary citizen of Stuttgart. In 1920 the senate of the TH Stuttgart had him paint for the senate hall. Two years later Bach was emeritus. In 1926 Bach was painted again, this time for the conference hall of the VDI in Berlin. Carl von Bach died in Stuttgart on 10 October 1931. He holds honorary doctorates from the TH Berlin (1903), the University of Tübingen (1927), the TH Vienna (1927), and the TH Stuttgart (1927). In close cooperation and lively exchange of ideas with renowned entrepreneurs and inventors such as Robert Bosch, Paul Daimler, Rudolf Diesel, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin and many others, Bach succeeded in bridging the gap in mechanical engineering between practitioners such as Redtenbacher (Karlsruhe) and theorists such as Reuleaux (Berlin) by purposefully combining theory and practice through experimental research in mechanical engineering and civil engineering. In order to secure the scientific basis, Bach successfully established two research institutes, the Materials Testing Institute 1884, of which he was director until 1922, and the Engineering Laboratory 1895. On his initiative, the first chair for aeronautics and automotive engineering was established in Germany in 1925, together with the associated laboratory. Based on his work, Bach is regarded as the founder of static elasticity and strength theory. Both from his own experience and from his work in business circles and technical associations, Bach was aware that the rapid development of German industry required a fundamental reform of engineering education. He demanded a "workshop practice" of at least one year. Bach considered solid practical experience supplemented by thorough, comprehensive training in natural science and technical subjects, but also the teaching of humanities disciplines, the "humanisation of technical universities", to be absolutely essential for the engineer of the future. His educational policy intentions, which he realized in his more than 40 years of work at the Technical University of Stuttgart, he achieved above all through the Association of German Engineers. The appreciation of Bach as a teacher and scholar is expressed not only by his appointments to other universities, but also by the orders and honours of crowned heads and associations of a technical, scientific and socio-political nature, as well as the magnificent letter of thanks from the students of the TH Stuttgart. 2nd inventory description: Carl von Bach (1847-1931) was one of the most important German technical scientists of his time. In the field of mechanical engineering and material testing he did pioneering work, which is the basis for today's problems and solutions. The estate of Carl von Bach comprises a total of about 40 running metres. Archive material. However, this material does not only contain the scientific legacy of Bach, but much more: in addition to the scientific works - almost all manuscripts of his major works are available in various editions - an extensive part of his private legacy is also preserved. In addition, the University Archives also contain the estate of his son Julius Bach. He was bequeathed in his will the entire legacy of his father's writings, which he finally bequeathed to the then Technical University of Karl-Marx-Stadt alongside his own. Particularly valuable in the estate of Carl von Bach, if one can even pick out a subgroup, is the traditional business correspondence. On approx. 50,000 sheets, both the correspondence received and the correspondence sent out over the period from 1876 to 1931 are almost completely handed down. Because of Bach's focus on work and research, the theory of strength and elasticity, of which he was a co-founder, he came into contact with various representatives from science and industry. Moreover, Bach was a very socially committed person, which is also reflected in this correspondence. However, the preservation of the tradition is endangered. In particular, the copial books with the outgoing correspondence will only be released for use in exceptional cases. The degree of preservation of the writing material is particularly problematic here. As a rule, the deceased did not use commercially available ink, but mixed it himself in varying compositions, some of which faded very strongly. In addition, the transparent paper of the books is only of little stability. For this reason, the business correspondence in the Bach estate was completely filmed and digitized. Selected documents are recorded on colour film and are available as negatives and positives. The Subdivision of the Estate Carl von Bach's estate is divided into six sections in its provisionally final stage of indexing: I. Biographical material This group includes personal documents, testimonies of his educational and professional career, documents about his military service, honours, vocations, anniversaries and autobiographical records. II. private correspondence This is arranged chronologically according to the members of the family and within them. Of these, the correspondence with his son Julius is the most extensive and certainly also the most interesting, since it contains the discussions of various technical problems that were conducted between the two scientists. III. business correspondence This cannot claim to be complete, but the extent of the overdelivery is impressive. Particularly remarkable is the tradition of the outgoing mail, which is recorded in a total of 35 copial books on approx. 35000 sheets. They cover the period from 1876 to 1903 and from 1909 to his death in 1931. Within these copies the letters are arranged chronologically and for almost each of these books there is a register of names of the addressees, which has been made by the deceased. However, the Kopialbücher also contain copies of incoming letters and various concepts, orders, etc., which Bach probably regarded as particularly important. Also the mail archived in this group is quite remarkable with 18 000 sheets. In total, there are about 2500 correspondents in the group of business correspondence. With regard to the two sections on private and business correspondence, it should be noted that correspondence can also be found outside these sections, in the fact files. IV. Business papers Here you will find the manuscripts of his countless publications, statements and expert opinions on the fields of science covered by Bach, as well as extensive material collections on these questions. His work on material testing, the durability of steam boilers and riveted joints, etc. can be particularly well understood here. Bach himself created firm portfolios in which he collected all possible processes into one subject and then labeled them accordingly. This state of order and distortion was largely adopted during the earlier processing of the estate, without verifying the content in detail. This situation was resolved in 2007. The order by subject has been maintained, but the folders have been repackaged and the file titles have been supplemented with extensive "Contains" notes to facilitate access to this material. In addition, papers from the estate of Julius Bach were added to this section, but these clearly have their origin in Carl Bach. V. Material Collections Various types of material have been summarized here. This concerns e.g. his membership cards, orders, promotional gifts, material samples or also different photos. Sections 4 and 5 have not been rearranged, but have been taken over from the original legator. VI. Non-provenance material Here is the material about the legator that was later added to the estate, such as obituaries or copies of and about Bach from other archives. In the revision of the estate, further material on Carl Bach was added. Of particular note here are the numerous photos of the Carl Bach family, which were made available in digital form for the collection. The inventory signature is the number 302, followed by an indication in Roman numerals and the individually numbered file units (in Arabic numerals). The Roman numerals indicate the six different groups. Example: 302 / III / 0123 Carl von Bach estate estate / business correspondence / foreign correspondence America: Argentina, Chile, Canada, USA Inventory processing The Carl von Bach estate has not yet been finally catalogued. At the beginning of the processing in the 80s a file was created, which was the basis for the input into the database at the end of the 90s. The data was transferred unchanged. A new classification was developed for the estate, according to which the entered units of registration are arranged. New file titles have been created in the Biographical Material, Private and Business Correspondence sections. In 2007, sections IV to VI were finally developed in greater depth. Although most of the titles of the files in the business papers and material collections were originally taken over by the testator, they were supplemented with extensive remarks. The present finding aid book thus represents the most recent state of processing for the time being. Digitisation The correspondence in the estate has been completely filmed and digitised from the film. Due to the state of preservation, the originals are no longer released for use. A high quality silver halide film has been used to secure the existence of the company. As a rule, this part of the estate is used via the electronic data on the PC. The designation of the CD-ROM corresponds to that of the file unit. During scanning, the individual sheets were numbered consecutively. The first part of the file name, however, reflects the file unit. However, the file numbers do not match the page number. 3. state of indexing/scope: indexed; find book, database, digitised material; scope: 40.75 running metres.

BiographyGeorg Eichholz was born on April 6, 1909 in Essen-Kupferdreh. His father Hermann Georg Eichholz was pastor in Essen-Kupferdreh from 1891 until his retirement in 1933 and from 1921 to 1933 Superintendent in the church district An der Ruhr, his mother Klara, née Schulze, pharmacist's daughter. In 1928 Eichholz graduated from the State Grammar School in Essen and, following the example of his father and older brother, began studying theology in Tübingen and Bonn, where Karl Barth was one of his most important teachers and motivated him to further theological studies.At the beginning of 1934 he began his vicariate in Honnef, continued it from 1935 in Barmen-Gemarke with Karl Immer, after he had joined the Confessing Church, and finished his education with the second examination before the examination board of the Confessing Church on 21.9.1935 in Koblenz. He was ordained by Johannes Schlingensiepen in Unterbarmen on 8.12.1935. Already during the time of the vicariate Eichholz fell ill with diabetes, with which he had to arrange himself throughout his life. Already before the ordination, more precisely: from 1.11.1935, Eichholz had been called as a teacher to the seminar of the Rhenish Mission Society in Barmen, where he taught not only theological subjects during the war but also subjects of general education. During the war years he continued teaching with a few remaining students. His health was so bad at times that he reckoned with his untimely death. In addition to his teaching activities, he published interpretations of texts with a New Testament orientation in the journals Evangelical Theology and Theological Existence Today published by Karl Barth, which are attributed to the Confessing Church. Between 1939 and 1964, Eichholz was commissioned by the Brother Council of the Confessing Church to organize the publication of a series of sermon aids, which appeared in five volumes entitled Herr, tue meine Lippen. The staff of this series also included pastors who taught at the ecclesiastical university in Wuppertal (hereinafter KiHo) banned by the Gestapo, e.g. Peter Brunner (Harmannus Obendieck and Heinrich Schlier) When the KiHo resumed its official teaching activities on October 31, 1945, Eichholz received teaching assignments for systematic theology and the New Testament. In 1946 he was appointed mission inspector and took over the management of the mission seminar, but he also continued his part-time teaching activities at the KiHo, marrying Ehrentraut Berner, whose father was also a mission inspector in Wuppertal. Shortly thereafter he additionally took over the editorship of the New Set of Theological Existence Today alongside his former fellow student Karl Gerhard Steck and also the continuation of the reading sermon series Predige das Wort. In addition, he was a member of the Committee for the Development of an Evangelical Catechism established in 1955 and participated in a three-month study tour of the Palestine Institute through the Middle East in 1955. 1951 Eichholz became a professor on the occasion of a restructuring of the KiHo, but it was not until 1961 that he transferred the title to the KiHo on a full-time basis and handed over the management of the mission seminar to Arnold Falkenroth. His state of health no longer allowed for the permanent double burden. The concentration on the scientific work made several New Testament publications possible, especially in the field of Gospel and Paulus research. But he also continued his work on sermon aids: together with Arnold Falkenroth he founded the new meditation series Listening and Questions, which he continued together with his wife even after Eichholz's death. Eichholz did not follow a call to the University of Bern in 1965, but was also interested in art in private. As early as the 1940s he had published two small works with theological reviews of Rembrandt's works. One of his particular passions was photography. In 1963 he published an illustrated book with photos from his study trip under the title Landscapes of the Bible. On May 1, 1970 Eichholz retired prematurely due to the consequences of his many years of diabetes. Eichholz died in Wuppertal on December 22, 1973.1978 His wife Ehrentraut marries former colleague Prof. Dr. Rudolf Bohren.1984 another illustrated book was published in memory of Georg Eichholz with the title Das Gesicht des Theologen mit den von Eichholz fotografierten Portraits. On the occasion of the 50th birthday of Eichholz, two of his lectures from 1945 and 1968 entitled Das Rätsel des historischen Jesus und die Gegenwart Jesu Christi, edited by Gerhard Sauter.Ehrentraut Bohr died in Interlaken on June 21, 1997.It contained 2.5 running metres of material, partly in standing files, tied bundles, staplers, cartons or also as loose collections of sheets, and was arranged and recorded in autumn 2011. In contrast to pastor's estates, there are only a relatively small number of sermons in the collection, mainly from the time of the Vicariate, with a focus on the scientific and teaching activities of Eichholz, which are reflected in lecture, essay and book manuscripts, reviews, reports on research trips and collected writings, etc. There was great disorder in this area. In addition, Eichholz held lectures and events several times or on similar topics, so that it was not possible to assign individual manuscript parts to a special event and thus a year on the basis of the topic. Only very occasionally do the manuscripts contain a note on the date. Where it was possible, however, attempts were made to combine individual parts of the manuscript into a coherent whole, primarily with the help of paginations, and to assign this to an approximate period of time, above all with the help of the university course catalogues (2LR 045, 4447). Since the dating was rather difficult overall, however, the manuscripts were arranged along the corresponding passages from the Bible. They were sorted alphabetically. A significant part of the collection also consists of correspondence, and through his editorship and collaboration in theological publication series, as well as in scientific discourse and collaborations, Eichholz came into contact with numerous important personalities of recent church history and theological research. This is reflected in the correspondence series. A large number of great names can be found here, including Karl Barth, Joachim Beckmann, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Helmut Gollwitzer, Hans Joachim Iwand and Alfred de Quervain. In addition, Eichholz was in contact with numerous high-ranking colleagues at home and abroad Furthermore, there are numerous interesting correspondences with missionaries all over the world, some of them with quite detailed descriptions of everyday missionary life.after the death of Georg Eichholz, his wife continued some of the correspondences, especially with regard to the sermon series Listening and Questions. A special attraction of the collection is probably also the extensive material on Karl Barth, with whom Eichholz obviously had a long-standing friendship and who appreciated his scientific abilities. In addition to the correspondence, there are photos, sermons, interviews and newspaper articles.additional holdingsThe personnel file of the candidate of the Protestant Church in Rhineland Georg Eichholz is available under the signature 1OB 016, E 84.2LR 045, 318 is the signature of the personnel file which was kept at the KiHo about Eichholz.

History of the authorities: Military administrative tasks such as "money and natural catering", "clothing", "equipment" and "quartering" of the troops, "new buildings and conversions", "construction supervision", "sick and disabled care" had been performed directly by the War Ministry in Württemberg since the beginning of the 19th century. The alignment of the military administration of the individual states with Prussian conditions stood in the way of maintaining this administrative organization. This also applied to those individual German states which had still retained special (administrative) powers, such as their own war ministries. For Württemberg it followed from this that, on the basis of the "Military Convention with the North German Confederation" of 21 and 25 November 1870, the Württemberg War Ministry was first restructured. A central office, a military department and an economics department were formed and the Prussian military administrative regulations introduced. At first, however, a Württemberg tradition consciousness remained a special feature documenting the history of the region: the directorate to be created according to the Prussian model remained within the Economics Department of the Württemberg War Ministry. However, a separate authority was then spun off. On 23 February 1874 the "Intendantur XIII (Königlich Württembergisches) Armeekorps" in Stuttgart and the two Divisions-Intendanturen (the 26th Division in Stuttgart and the 27th Division in Ulm (= 1st and 2nd Königlich Württembergische Division) were established. The administrative structures in this area were thus fully in line with the Prussian model, right down to the division into individual departments. The files indexed in the present repertory were created in the Corps Directorate, which, apart from the Director General's area of responsibility, is also the Director General's office. Department 1: Budget, cash and accounting (cash administrations, paymasters) Department 2: Meals in kind (provisions offices) and mobilisation matters Department 3: Clothing and equipment (clothing office; patterning of corps troops), travel expenses, transport, workers' insurance, pension and accident matters, remonte and horse matters.Division 4: Garrison administration (garrison administration, accommodation of troops, barracks, service buildings and housing, drill grounds, firing ranges and military training areas) Division 5: Hospital administration (administration) including disability and pension matters Division 6 (from 1902 Divisions VI a and VI b: Construction (military building offices and construction management) Processing of all construction matters in the corps area in conjunction with the other departments of the corps directorate.As local administrative units, so-called "local offices" were set up, whose activities were co-administered by the Directorate General. On the spot, the following offices/individual offices acted: cash administrations: (paymaster) at each troop unit Provision offices: Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg, Ulm, Weingarten, Wiblingen, (since 1896:) MünsingenGarnisonsverwaltungen: Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg (until 1883 Hohenasperg), Ulm, Weingarten, Gmünd, Mergentheim, Tübingen, Heilbronn, MünsingenLazarett administrations: Like garrison administrations (at smaller locations without civil servants, only with an accountant)Garrison building offices, later military building offices: Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg (from 1900 I and II), Ulm (from 1898: ) I and II; according to need additionally local construction management, military new building offices (army multiplication)mounting depot: (until 1874:) Stuttgart, later Heilbronn; (since 1889:) Bekleidungsamt Ludwigburg; (since 1907:) civilian craftsmen instead of the previously appointed teamsOn August 2, 1914, the Corps Directorate was divided. A mobile Field Directorate XIII. army corps and a deputy (immobile) In tendantur XIII. army corps in Stuttgart were created, and in January 1817 an additional Field Directorate was established at the General Command for special use No. 64.Field directorates were established at the divisions: in 1914 at the 26th and 27 infantry divisions, then the 54 reserve divisions, in 1915 at the 2nd and 7th Landwehr divisions, in 1916 at the 204th infantry division, in 1917ff at the 242nd and 243 infantry divisions and at the 26th Landwehr division. In the course of the war, the Deputy General Director was faced with such a large number of new tasks that the personnel rose from 59 (May 1914) to 424 (1918) - 60 of them women as civilian employees.The installation of new field and replacement formations, over 90,000 men in the occupation army, approx. 248,000 men in the Württemberg field troops, necessitated divisions in the individual existing departments and new business areas. These were:(K) prisoner of war department (10 camps with about 50,000 prisoners)(N) estate department (III b)(V) supply department - later supply office: widows, orphans, invalids and pensions, support payments (with over 82,000 dead and 190.000 wounded from Württemberg alone) After the armistice had been concluded, the field troops were finally repatriated, dissolved and dismissed, and from December 1918 the formation of security companies and Schutztruppen was added to their duties. From October 1919, the Intendantur was then referred to as "Abwicklungsintendantur XIII. Armeekorps", until it was dissolved on 31 March 1921 after 47 years of existence.The names of the directors of the XIIIth Army Corps (Corps Director) were: 1872 Metzger, 1874 von Bartholomäi (Real Secret War Council) 1885 von Deuschle1894 von Bürger1901 von Wunderlich (Real Secret War Council)1906 von Haldenwang (1912 Real Secret War Council) 1914 (2. August) Schall1915 (March) von Haldenwang (back from the "Einsatz im Feld") Inventory history: The majority of the files recorded here as a whole originated in the Corps Directorate, whose activities in the administrative functions were also continued in extended form and after addition of new functions as far as possible continuously. Accordingly, the given registry layers were considerably extended, the registry plan (cf. order number 20) was supplemented by whole sections, but not newly formed. This did not result in an additional new registry layer; not even when the name of the Corps Directorate was changed to "Deputy Directorate General" or "Settlement Office", etc. The continuity or the number of points of contact of most administrative activities stood in the way of the exceptions to this rule, or a separate registry layer formed the inventory M 17/2, Deputy Directorate General. However, this separate, completed part of the registry contains only partial aspects of what would actually have corresponded to this authority's area of responsibility from 1914. It contains only those parts which were actually new in 1914 and thus could hardly be integrated into the existing structures. These were above all the personnel matters which were very extensive due to the war conditions. After all these documents had been taken over by the Reichsarchiv branch office, they were set up there in accordance with the last rules of procedure (cf. Registraturplan Bü 17 and 20) and finally (1941) listed. Subsequently, 1941-1946 extensive cassations were carried out, which are documented in the lists drawn up in 1941. The cash-flow was mainly in the areas of accident cases, equipment matters, army strength increase, trial files, construction matters. The destruction of a large number of building plans is particularly painful. The index tries to keep the traditional registry scheme. In the conversion to the possibilities of digital finding aids, this results in a four-stage classification according to the decimal system. The departments are left as upper groups; the focus remains on department 4 (garrison administration department). Bernhard Zaschka and Hansjörg Oswald were involved in the recording, along with a large number of candidates. As one of the first larger holdings, the title recordings completed in Midosa/Midetit by 1995 were converted to Midosa 95. The further work, including classification and fine-tuning, as well as the final editing of the holdings, was carried out by the signatories. The stock comprises 1247 title records or 36.5 linear metres of shelf space files. Stuttgart, August 2000

The history and content of the collection: After Weiszäcker's death in 1926, the estate initially remained in the widow's apartment in Stuttgart, where it was moved to the house acquired in 1931 on the Moozacher Halde near Lindau. On 21 June 1975, Baroness Marianne von Weizsäcker transferred the estate to the Main State Archives in Stuttgart. After its reorganization, it is available for scientific research. Usage for publications which deal in particular with the work of the Prime Minister Karl Freiherr von Weizsäcker and which do not only contain occasional references to his activities require the consent of Professor Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsäcker.The estate consists mainly of Weizsäcker's handfiles from his term as Minister of Culture, President of the Ministry of State (Prime Minister), Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Minister of Family Affairs of the Royal House, mixed with individual registry files of the Ministry of State and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as official, semi-official and private correspondence and numerous newspaper clippings. In addition, there are correspondence, notes, documents relating to publications and newspaper clippings from his retirement. Some few documents from the estate of his father, Professor Karl v. Weizsäcker, have been included in the inventory (Bü 4)The estate of the Minister President v. Breitling (Bü 31) contains files of foreign provenances, letters to the Minister of State v. Fleischhauer (Bü 80, 86 and 93), correspondence of the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Freiherr Julius v. Soden (Bü 151) and letters of Weizsäcker to General Fritz von Graevenitz (Bü 146).Parallel tradition is mainly found in the files of the Royal Cabinet (E 14), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (E 46 - E 75), the Ministry of State (E 130) and the Ministry of War (M 1/2) lying in the Main State Archives, in particular the following files should be pointed out:E 14: Royal Cabinet IIBü 487: Weizsäcker's application for release from office from 5.

This is true of Weizsäcker's term as cult minister, during which he campaigned for the abolition of spiritual supervision of schools and for constitutional reform, and it is even more true of the period from 1906 to 1918, during which, as President of the State Ministry, he headed the affairs of government and was also State Minister of Foreign Affairs. The question of Württemberg's relationship to the Reich and, in general, of federal cooperation, as well as the views of the Württemberg government on German foreign policy before the First World War and, above all, the Württemberg attitude to German politics during the war, are given sharper contours by the documents of this estate. During this time, the correspondence with his friend Alfred von Kiderlen-Waechter, the reports of the Württemberg envoys from Berlin (v. Varnbüler) and Munich (v. Moser) as well as the reports of the Württemberg military representative in Berlin and in the Great Headquarters (v. Graevenitz) are of particular importance. Since the tradition of the two legations and the reports of the military representative in the official files are incomplete - most of the documents of the military representative in Berlin have been destroyed - the reports from the estate are able to close some gaps. In terms of content, these semi-official reports, written in personal-private form - v. Graevenitz was Weizsäcker's counter-sister and also v. Varnbüler was personally close to him - say much more than the official reports of these Württemberg diplomats. 3. on the organisation of the stock: Weizsäcker arranged his documents according to subject matter or persons without a systematic structure. After his death, some connections were lost during relocations and probably also during uses of the estate. In the course of time, various smaller attempts at order were made, but these only extended to individual documents. For example, evaluation notes were added to some files, such as 'less valuable except for letters' or 'worthless except for any individual letters'. Further on there was an order which contained at least 18 tufts or individual pieces and which can still be reconstructed with the following numbers:1 Memories23 Letter from Friedrich Grand Duke of Baden, 19234 Bethmann Hollweg5 Fritz von Graevenitz (Letter to Weizsäcker, 1911-1918)6 Kiderlen-Waechter7 Letters from Adolf Freiherr Marschall von Bieberstein, (1906) 19088 Letters from Moser von Filseck, 1906-19139 Letter from Ritter, Königiglich Bayerischer Gesandter in Stuttgart, 190910 correspondence with Wilhelm Herzog von Urach, 1906-192411 correspondence with Queen Charlotte von Württemberg, 1922-192512 Philipp Albrecht Herzog von Württemberg, 1914-192413 motivation of the dismissal of the Reich Chancellor Prince Bülow by Emperor Wilhelm II.14 Warschuldfrage 1925-192615161718a Varnbülerberichte vom 14. Juli 1909 (Daily Telegraph-Affäre)Parts of the estate were filmed by the Federal Archives in 1965, and after the estate had been transferred to the Main State Archives, it was systematically arranged and recorded by the Director of the State Archives, Dr. Eberhard Gönner, between 1975 and 1979. The 18 tufts mentioned above could not remain in their previous composition. The temporal classification of Weizsäcker's notes caused certain difficulties, because they could not always be clearly identified as contemporary notes or later notes for planned publications. The title recordings were revised by Eberhard Gönner from November 1985 to March 1986, whereby the correspondences were further broken down and indices created. For reasons of clarity, the "Contained" and "Darin" notes as well as the "Subjects" have generally been numbered consecutively. The "Contains" and "Darin" notes generally correspond to archival units (documents or subfascicles), the "Concern" only exceptionally.177 tufts of files with a total of 2.6 m. Stuttgart, in March 1986Eberhard Gönner

History of Tradition Dr. Ernst von Scheurlen, retired Ministerialrat, did not leave any testamentary disposition over the documents. Since 1945 at the latest, these had been in the house of his oldest daughter Katharina Schmidt, née Scheurlen, who, after her death on 3 January 1989, took over her son Karl Schmidt, a retired pastor. There - in the spirit of Ernst von Scheurlen - they were accessible to all relatives and were occasionally inspected by individuals. For the transfer to the Main State Archives in Stuttgart, the consideration that there would be no comparable place of secure storage in the relatives in the future was decisive. As a result, a deposit agreement was concluded between Mr Karl Schmidt and the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg on 1 December 2008. Content and Evaluation Karl Scheurlen ( 1824, 1872) Karl Scheurlen was born on 3 Sept. 1824 in Tübingen, where his father Karl Christian Friedrich Scheurlen was professor of law. He attended school there and in Stuttgart, where his father had been appointed to the Obertribunal in 1839. He studied law in Tübingen from 1841 to 1846 and then completed his legal clerkship. In 1847 he became court actuary at the Heilbronn Higher District Court. During the revolutionary events of 1848, Karl Scheurlen adopted an emphatically conservative attitude. In 1850 he was appointed public prosecutor in Esslingen. In 1851 he was appointed Assessor of Justice and Public Prosecutor in Ellwangen, where he married Katharina Pfreundt in 1852. From 1856 on Karl Scheurlen was chief magistrate in Mergentheim, from 1863 chief justice councillor in Esslingen and from 1865 lecturing councillor in the Ministry of Justice. Together with his friend, the then Obertribunalrat von Mittnacht, Karl Scheurlen was commissioned by the Minister of Justice of Neurath to work out the principles of a judicial reform which Mittnacht, since 1867 Minister of Justice, completed in 1868 and 1869. Karl Scheurlen's ascent had also continued in 1867 with his appointment to the Privy Council; however, his two attempts to acquire a Landtag mandate failed. By decree of 23 March 1870, Karl Scheurlen was appointed head of the Department of Home Affairs and Minister of the Interior on 17 July of the same year. This appointment took place at the time of a domestic political crisis: 45 members of the Württemberg state parliament had refused in the spring to approve the military budget, the rejection of which would have made Württemberg meet its obligations from the 1866 Protection and Defense Alliance with Prussia, which was widely unpopular. The fact that the broad resistance against the military budget unexpectedly subsided can be traced back to the French declaration of war of 15 July 1870. After the new elections of 1871, which were announced with reference to the political reorganization of Germany after the Franco-German War, Karl Scheurlen found himself faced with a well-meaning majority among the members of parliament. He himself was also elected as a deputy twice, in Gaildorf and Künzelsau; he accepted the election in Gaildorf. His death on April 1, 1872, caused by a heart condition, came as a surprise. Karl Scheurlen cultivated lively literary and artistic interests in addition to his work in justice and politics. He wrote numerous verses and poems. His talent for drawing is particularly remarkable; he used it, among other things, to make numerous sketches of accused persons and judicial officials during his time at court, or to illustrate the "Amtspflege", the organ of the Hauffei, his Tübingen student fraternity. Many of his drawings have a humorous character; self-portraits and depictions of family members and acquaintances are extremely frequent. Ernst von Scheurlen ( 1863, 1952) Ernst von Scheurlen was born in Mergentheim on Feb. 5, 1863, the youngest of six children of the later Minister of the Interior, Karl Scheurlen, and his wife Katharina Scheurlen. After school he studied medicine in Berlin, where he received his doctorate in 1885. After his state examination from 1887 to 1891, he worked there as an assistant doctor at the Charité and the Reich Health Office; bacteriology and hygiene were already the focal points of his scientific interest at this time. The marriage to Sophie von Möller (1889), who belonged to a family of German descent from the then Russian Narwa, also took place during this period. In 1893 Ernst von Scheurlen became a battalion doctor in Strasbourg. At the same time he taught hygiene and bacteriology at the Technical University in Stuttgart and at the University of Strasbourg in 1893-1894 and 1895-1897 respectively. He also headed the hygiene and bacteriology department of the large garrison hospital in Stuttgart. In 1897 he took up a position as a medical councillor at the Königlich Württembergischen Medizinalkollegium. His tasks included working for the State Insurance Institute, the Trade Supervisory Office, the Reich Health Council, in the management of the Medical State Investigation Office, etc. It is due to his activities that the city of Stuttgart received its central sewage treatment plant during the First World War. During the entire First World War, Ernst von Scheurlen was involved as a hygienist in disease control and water supply at various sections of the Western and Eastern fronts. After the First World War, he devoted himself in particular to water supply, crop control and blood group research. He has written down his research results in numerous publications. He retired in 1930, but this did not mean the end of his scientific career; his last publication dates from 1950, two years before his death on Oct. 8, 1952 at the age of 89. In addition to his scientific work, Ernst von Scheurlen documented the history of his family from about 1800 with great dedication. For this purpose he combined numerous pictures, sketches, poems and letters of his father, who died at an early age, with other collection material and supplemented, explained and commented this material by a written representation of the family history.

I. The history of the von Linden family: The von Linden family originally comes from the diocese of Liège. The progenitor is a certain Adam van Linter, who is mentioned in documents 1604-1615 and who was the owner of the estate in Hoeppertingen (Belgian Limburg). His son Peter, who probably emigrated to Franconia because of the political and religious unrest in the home country of the Linter family, acquired a farm in Habitzheim (Odenwald) around 1650. In Kurmainz some members of the Catholic von Linden family were promoted to high offices: Franz von Linden (1712-1789) was a member of the Court Chamber Council and head cellar of the Camera Administration in the Vice-Chamber Office of Aschaffenburg, Johann Heinrich Freiherr von Linden (1719-1795) was a Privy Councillor and Director of the Court Chamber of the Electorate of Mainz. Franz Damian Freiherr von Linden (1745-1817), a grandson of Johann Heinrich Freiherr von Linden, was privy councillor and later director of the state government of the prince primate in Aschaffenburg. His second eldest son Franz Joseph Ignaz was Württemberg's Privy Legation Councillor and lord of Nordstetten, Isenburg and Taberwasen. Another grandson of Johann Heinrich Freiherr von Linden, the jurist Franz Freiherr von Linden (1760-1836), held the position of Reich Chamber Court Assessor from 1796 to 1806. After the dissolution of the Imperial Chamber Court, Franz Freiherr von Linden entered the service of the Kingdom of Württemberg. King Friedrich I of Württemberg appointed him president of the newly founded Catholic Church Council in 1807. In 1815 Franz Freiherr von Linden was appointed Württemberg Plenipotentiary at the Congress of Vienna, then Württemberg Ambassador to the Bundestag in Frankfurt. 1817-1831 he was president of the Schwarzwaldkreis (Black Forest District) and Franz Freiherr von Linden was the progenitor of the VII lines (the lines are counted according to the number of lines): Genealogical handbook of the nobility vol. 68 of the complete series. Freiherrliche Häuser Vol. VII, Limburg/Lahn 1978, p. 196-215; Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels Vol. 109 der Gesamtreihe, Freiherrliche Häuser Vol. XVIII, Limburg/Lahn 1995, p. 356-376; Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels: Der in Bayern immatrikulierte Adel Vol. XXIII, Neustadt/Aisch 2000, p. 351-365.) of the House of Linden: From his seven sons mentioned in the following these VII lines of the house come: From Edmund (1798-1865) the I. (count's) line (Burgberg), from Franz a Paula (1800-1888) the II. (count's) line (Burgberg). (Count's) line, from Carl (1801-1870) the III. line (Hausen) with the 1st branch (in the USA) and the 2nd branch (Hausen), from Joseph (1804-1895) the IV. line (Hausen) with the 1st branch (in the USA) and the 2nd branch (Hausen), from Joseph (1804-1895) the IV. line (Hausen) with the 1st branch (in the USA) and the 2nd branch (Hausen). line (Neunthausen), by Ernst (1806-1885) the V. line (Bühl), by Ludwig (1808-1889) the VI. line (Bühl). In 1844 Edmund Freiherr von Linden (1798-1865) and his cousin Heinrich Freiherr von Linden (1784-1866), the eldest son of the aforementioned Damian Franz Freiherr von Linden, were raised to the rank of papal counts. In 1846, the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt recognized Heinrich's raising of rank, and in the same year Edmund Graf von Linden received Württemberg's recognition of the raising of rank. In the year 1850 the papal earldom was also founded on Franz a Paula and II. Line extended. The elevation to the Württemberg rank of counts took place in 1852, with the exception of the III. line (Hausen), all of the VII lines in the Württemberg male tribe were extinguished. The III. line divides into a 1. branch, whose members live in the USA, and into the 2. branch (Hausen). TWO. Biographical outlines of Hugo and Joseph Freiherr von Linden: Hugo Freiherr von Linden (1854-1936):The 2nd branch (Hausen) of the III. line is also the origin of the ministerial director Hugo Freiherr von Linden. He was born on 1 February 1854 in Ludwigsburg as the son of Carl Freiherr von Linden (1801-1870) and his second wife Mathilde Freifrau von Linden née Countess Leutrum von Ertingen (1815-1892). Hugo Freiherr von Linden studied law at the universities of Tübingen, Strasbourg and Berlin after graduating from high school in 1872. In 1877 he passed the state examination. After working at various courts in Württemberg, he became Secret Legation Secretary in the Württemberg Ministry for Foreign Affairs in 1883. In the same year he was appointed the King's chambermaid, which involved honorary services at social events of the court. In 1906 Hugo Freiherr von Linden was promoted to Ministerial Director and Head of the Political Department of the Ministry in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in 1900 Hugo Freiherr von Linden worked out the marriage contract between Duke Robert von Württemberg and Archduchess Maria Immaculata Raineria from Austria (cf. Hugo Freiherr von Linden married Elisabeth Schenk Freiin von Stauffenberg (1864-1939) in 1893, the daughter of the Vice President of the German Reichstag, Franz August Schenk von Stauffenberg. He is the progenitor of the 2nd branch (Hausen) of the III. line (Hausen).Joseph Freiherr von Linden (1804-1895):Joseph Freiherr von Linden comes from the IV. line (Hausen). Line (Nine houses). He was born on 7 June 1804 in Wetzlar as the son of the already mentioned Reichskammergerichtsassessor Franz Freiherr von Linden (1760-1836) and his second wife Maria Anna von Linden née Freiin von Bentzel zu Sternau (1769-1805). Joseph Freiherr von Linden spent his childhood and youth in Württemberg, u. a. in Kirchheim, where he became lifelong friends with the son of Ludwig Herzog von Württemberg (1756-1817) and Henriette Herzogin von Württemberg née Prinzessin von Nassau-Weilburg (1780-1857), Alexander Herzog von Württemberg (1804-1885). After studying law in Tübingen, Joseph Freiherr von Linden and his older brother Carl stayed in France from 1825 to 1827 in order to improve his knowledge of the French language and literature (cf. order numbers 3 and 4), after which he worked as a judge in various Württemberg cities. 1839-1848 Joseph Freiherr von Linden represented the knighthood of the Danube district in the Second Chamber. From 1842-1850 he was - like his father before him - President of the Catholic Church Council. 1848 was the revolutionary year in which Linden was appointed Minister of the Interior of Württemberg, but had to be dismissed on the same day due to the protests of the population. 1 July 1850 King Wilhelm I appointed Linden Minister of the Interior again and handed him over the office of Minister of the Interior of Württemberg in the years 1850 to 1851 and 1854 to 1855. During this time von Linden stood up for the restoration of the old constitution, which earned him the accusation in liberal circles that he was reactionary. Linden's achievements in the economic field should not be underestimated: He promoted the founding of the Stuttgart stock exchange, created a new trade code and encouraged the founding of the Weinsberg wine growing school. In the field of church politics, von Linden contributed significantly to the balance between the Kingdom of Württemberg and the Catholic Church. After the death of King Wilhelm I, his son and successor King Karl dismissed von Linden as minister on 20 September 1864. In the following years, Joseph Freiherr von Linden worked as a diplomat for Württemberg. In 1865 he became Württemberg envoy in Frankfurt and at the Hessian courts, 1868 envoy at the customs parliament in Berlin, and in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War he was appointed prefect of the Marne département occupied by the Germans (cf. order numbers 32 and 34, order numbers 15 and 16). 1830 Joseph Freiherr von Linden married Emma Freiin von Koenig-Warthausen (1810-1893). The marriage produced four children: Richard (1831-1887), who was cavalry captain of the Württemberg military (see order numbers 34 and 41, order numbers 15 and 49), Franziska (1833-1919), who married Dr. Fridolin Schinzinger (1827-1865) in 1859 (order numbers 25, 35 and 36, order numbers 11, 13 and 14), Elise (1836-1914) and Josephine (1838-1881), both of whom remained single.Of the other outstanding members of the von Linden family, for whom there is only little material in this collection (order number 42, order number 8), Karl Graf von Linden (1838-1910), the founder of the Völkerkundemuseum (Lindenmuseum) in Stuttgart, named after him, and Marie Gräfin von Linden (1869-1936), who was the first woman to study at the University of Tübingen and who was later appointed Professor of Parasitology at the University of Bonn, should be mentioned briefly. III. history, content and structure of the collection: The present holdings combine documents from the estate of Joseph Freiherr von Linden, which were handed over to the Hauptstaatsarchiv in 1962 by Mr. Regierungsoberinspektor Reginald Mutter (cf. the title in the old repertory for holdings Q 1/7), a great-great grandson of Joseph Freiherr von Linden. One year later, the Main State Archives purchased these archival records, which were initially incorporated into the former holdings J 50 (Smaller Estates). Robert Uhland produced a typewritten finding aid in 1963. When the Q holdings were created in 1972, the holdings designated as the estate of Linden were removed from the J 50 holdings and assigned to the newly created Q 1 series (political estates), where they received the signature Q 1/7. The small estate consisted only of a tuft, which contained several documents, which were listed in the above-mentioned find book. In the 90's the stock Q 1/7 got increases by taxes from private side: In 1990, Mrs. E. Niethammer, Kirchheim/Teck, handed over documents from the estate of the Protestant pastor family Dierlamm to the Main State Archives as a gift, which were initially incorporated into the holdings Q 1/7 as Büschel 2. These are the documents now listed under heading 2 of this inventory (order numbers 37 to 41). These include business cards and letters from Joseph Freiherr and Emma Freifrau von Linden to Pfarrer Dierlamm (serial number 37, order number 45), tickets from Sara Schinzinger to Pfarrer Dierlamm (serial number 40, order number 47) and several sermons on corpses for members of the House of Linden (serial number 41, order number 49). Among them are documents from the estate of his grandfather Hugo Freiherr von Linden (serial numbers 7-23) and pictures, especially of members of the House of Württemberg (section 3.2, serial numbers 43-48). In addition, Franz-Karl Freiherr von Linden has handed over to the Main State Archives an extensive collection of material compiled by him on the family history of Linden, including photocopies of literature and copies or photocopies of archival records of the von Linden family. Finally, Franz-Karl Freiherr von Linden transferred newspaper articles written by him about the formation of the island Surtsey off the coast of Iceland to the Main State Archives in 1993, which were initially classified as tufts 5 in the Q 1/7 inventory. The diaries 1870-1935 of his grandfather Hugo Freiherr von Linden, which were handed over by Franz-Karl Freiherr von Linden in 1992 as a deposit under retention of title to the Main State Archives, were returned to the owner in 1995. (Cf. Tgb.-Nr. 4143/1993 and Tgb.-Nr. 2918/1995) In the course of the indexing the stock received further growth from the stock J 53 (family papers of Württemberg civil servants). The excerpts from family registers concerning Julius Graf von Linden and Loring Graf von Linden (serial numbers 5 and 6, order numbers 50 and 19) and documents on the sale of the manor Nordstetten to the forester of Fischer-Weikersthal (serial number 1, order number 17) kept under the signature J 53/10 were also classified in the present inventory. As already mentioned several times above, today's holdings Q 1/7 include not only the estate of the Württemberg Minister of State Joseph Freiherr von Linden but also several other estates of members of the House of Linden and collections or documents on the family history of Linden. For this reason, the previous inventory name "Nachlass Joseph Freiherr von Linden" was extended to "Familienunterlagen von Linden". In view of the small size of the holdings and the incompleteness of the holdings, it is not possible to speak of a family archive, however, since materials on various members and lines of the von Linden family are completely or almost completely lacking: no original archival records on the members of the von Linden family who were in the service of the Electorate of Mainz, the Prince Primate and the Grand Duke of Hesse are to be expected (v. a. Johann Heinrich von Linden, Damian Franz Freiherr von Linden, Heinrich Graf von Linden). there are also only a few archival records of the lines dating back to the sons of Franz Freiherr von Linden: From the I. (Counts) and II. (count's) lines, there are no original documents, with the exception of extracts from the family registers of Julius and Loring Graf von Linden (order numbers 5 and 6, order numbers 19 and 50). Also missing are documents of the V. line (Bühl), the VI. (Swiss) line and the VII. line. Smaller estates are only available from the III. line (Hausen) and the IV. line (Hausen). line (Neunthausen), but the documents from the estates of Ministerial Director Hugo Freiherr von Linden and Minister of State Joseph Linden are only fractions of the original estates. It can be assumed that the family still owns some of the material mentioned above and of other members of the von Linden family, but unfortunately parts of the archival records of the von Linden family were also destroyed in the fire at the Burgberg and Hausen palaces during the Second World War.In addition to the personal documents on individual members of the family, the present collection also lacks documents on economic and property management, documents and invoices, which are to be expected in a nobility archive. The structure of the collection is based on the division of the widely ramified von Linden noble family into the various lines, as it is listed in the Genealogical Handbook of the Nobility. Within the individual lines, the bequests and holdings of the family members were arranged according to date of birth, so that the older family members were listed before the younger ones. The bequests of Franz Joseph Ignaz Freiherr von Linden (section 1.1) and Franz Freiherr von Linden (section 1.2) are at the beginning of the holdings. The latter estate includes a legal opinion on the effect of the Reich's decision of 27 April 1803 on the judicial proceedings of the chamber of justice, two letters from Franz von Linden to Minister of Justice Maucler on the progress made in the training of the sons Carl and Joseph von Linden, and the correspondence between Carl and Joseph von Linden during their stay in France with their parents, some of which was written in French.The estate of the Ministerial Director Hugo Freiherr von Linden comprises several printed programmes and invitations to cultural and official events, mainly in Stuttgart (section 1.5.1), and letters from members of the Princely House Wied to Hugo Freiherr von Linden as well as a memorandum from Wilhelm I. Prince of Albania Prince to Wied (section 1.5.2). Section 1.6 forms the estate of the Württemberg Minister of State Joseph Freiherr von Linden. It is the second largest estate in the stock Q 1/7. The estate is divided into the categories: Family and personal affairs (1.6.1) with documents on weddings, wedding jubilees and a travel description, correspondence (1.6.2) with letters from members of the House of Württemberg (above all Alexander Duke of Württemberg) to Joseph Freiherr von Linden and isolated letters from family members, activity as prefect of the Marne Department (1.6.).3) and printed matter about Joseph Freiherr von Linden (1.6.4): the wife of Joseph Freiherr von Linden, Emma Freifrau von Linden, and the daughter of the Minister of State, Franziska Freiin von Linden, only have very small estates (headings 1.7 and 1.8); the materials from the estate of the Protestant parish family Dierlamm were left as an independent complex (heading 2). The content of the section has already been discussed above, and under section 3 you will find collections, mainly on the family history of Linden: The first section is section 3.1 with the already mentioned extensive collection of material on the family history of Linden, which Franz-Karl Freiherr von Linden compiled and handed over to the house as photocopies. Section 3.2 contains photos of members of the House of Württemberg, of Joseph Freiherr von Linden and of other personalities in Württemberg history; sections 3.3 and 3.4 contain newspaper articles by Franz-Karl Freiherr von Linden and a lock of hair by Joseph Freiherr von Linden.Further archives on Joseph Freiherr von Linden are kept by the Hauptstaatsarchiv in fonds J 1 (collection of historical manuscripts) no. 256 b: Joseph Freiherr von Linden: "Aus meiner politische Karrierebahn" 1830-1862, part 2 of the memoirs dictated by Linden to his granddaughter Sara Schinzinger around 1890. The copy kept in J 1 is a copy for which Professor Schinzinger from Hohenheim, a grandson of the Minister of State von Linden, lent the original to the archive in 1925. Günther-Otto Maus in Baesweiler, a direct descendant of Joseph Freiherr von Linden, was filmed in 1977 and is now kept in the Main State Archives under the signature F 554 in fonds J 383 (microfilms and manuscripts in foreign archives, libraries). In January 2015, Günther-Otto Maus purchased the original diary from Günther-Otto Maus and it is now part of the collection under the signature Q 1/7 Bü 51. An index of the archive of the Barons of Linden in Neunthausen, which was compiled in 1892/1893, is part of the collection J 424 (Inventories of Non-State Archives: Caretakers' Photographs).In addition, reference is briefly made to the E stocks (ministerial stocks), in which extensive material on the work of State Minister Joseph Freiherr von Linden and Ministerial Director Hugo Freiherr von Linden is kept, and Q 1/7 can be used for various research purposes: First of all, of course, the history of the von Linden family, the history of nobility, mentality, social and cultural history, and finally the history of the German occupation of France during the war of 1870/1871. The Q 1/7 holdings were catalogued in 2001 by the archive inspectors Alexander Morlok, Matthias Schönthaler and Jens Ulrich under the supervision of the undersigned. The final editing, input and classification of the title recordings, the introduction as well as the compilation of the overall index were the responsibility of the undersigned. 0.5 linear metres of the stock was held.

Content and evaluation In the course of an evaluation campaign at the State Forestry Offices in the Sprengel of the Tübingen Forestry Directorate in 1994/95, the old registration - registration layer 1850 - 1955 at the Gammertingen State Forestry Office was also evaluated by the Sigmaringen State Archives on 9 August 1995. The evaluation was based on the evaluation model developed in 1994/95 together with the forestry administration (see also: Reinhold Schaal and Jürgen Treffeisen: For the evaluation and separation of the documents of the state forestry offices in the Sprengel of the State Archives Sigmaringen, in: Historische Überlieferung aus Verwaltungsunterlagen. Zur Praxis der archivischen Bewertung in Baden-Württemberg, published by Robert Kretzschmar, 1997, Verlag W.Kohlhammer Stuttgart, p.275-291). The files of the Gammertingen Forestry Office were recorded in spring 1997 by Marc Krause during a four-week archive internship under the direction of the undersigned. The stock now comprises 117 fascicles at 2 running metres. Sigmaringen, signed in September 1998. Dr. Jürgen Treffeisen Contains: Official requirements; registry; forest office building, official housing, construction matters; forest organisation; annual reports; personnel and job files; areas and border matters; assessment and surveying; forest maps; farm books; farm operations; crops; road construction; hunting and fishing; forest penal cases; pest control; management of corporate forests, general and individual cases.

History of the Commission: On 14 January 1811, King Friedrich of Württemberg ordered the establishment of a General Administration Commission (GAK) to regulate the economic affairs and debt management of his brother Duke Ludwig of Württemberg. Johann Heinrich von Menoth, Director-General of the Cabinet, was appointed Chairman of the Commission. Other members were Johann Friedrich von Dünger, Director of the Upper Chamber of Finance, and the two Upper Economic Councillors Georg Friedrich Sommer and Ernst Heinrich Faber, the latter in his capacity as Treasurer and Managing Director. The GAK was commissioned on 21 January to be set up by Finance Minister Graf von Mandelslohe on behalf of Cabinet Minister Graf von Taube, who was ill; the next day the constituent meeting took place. The task of the GAK was to confiscate and inventorise the entire furniture assets of Duke Ludwig in the Kingdom of Württemberg, to determine the Duke's assets and liabilities, to draw up a debt repayment plan and to administer the funds set aside for the maintenance of the Duke and his family. The property granted to Duchess Henriette and the ducal children as private property was to be separated from the remaining assets. The reason for the establishment of the GAK lay in the total over-indebtedness of Duke Ludwig, which had already begun during his time in Polish service at the end of the eighties of the 18th century and continued beyond the Prussian and Russian periods of service until Ludwig's move to Württemberg and became increasingly acute. On 17 February 1810 an administrative commission had already been set up with the aim of using part of the ducal Apanage for the repayment of debts, at least to the domestic creditors of Württemberg, and to run Ludwig's court economically. The committee, which was under the responsibility of the Minister of Finance and later referred to as the Particular Administration Commission (PAK), consisted of the Oberfinanzkammerdirektor von Dünger and Ernst Heinrich Faber, who had recently been appointed to the Oberökonomierat (Upper Chamber of Finance Director) and who had already been entrusted with accounting transactions at the court of Duke Ludwig since the end of 1808. This estate, which had served the ducal family at times as a residence, had been given to the duke in 1804 by Tsar Alexander for 50 years for use with all his income. A trip of Ludwig to Russia at the beginning of May 1810, however, had the consequence that this important source of income also soon dried up. In order to protect his valuables remaining in Würzau from the Russian creditors, Ludwig had them shipped to Stuttgart, where they were auctioned off to a large extent by the GAK in the spring of 1811. The tsar then had the Würzau estate's income frozen for four years to satisfy Ludwig's Russian creditors. Seven days after his arrival in Warsaw, on 10 November 1810, the Duke, who was on his way back, was taken into custody by his main Polish creditors. Only after an agreement of his brother, king Friedrich, with the creditors the duke was released from the arrest. An essential part of the agreement was the formation of the GAK, whose unrestricted competence for all of Ludwig's economic affairs was recognised in Warsaw on 26 January 1811, and the determination of assets and liabilities by the GAK was almost completed at the beginning of November 1811. The figures presented to the King in a report showed total assets of 38,943 fl., which were offset by claims of well over one million fl., of which 160,000 fl. were from domestic creditors alone. To make matters worse, the budget set for the two ducal court holdings in Stuttgart and Kirchheim unter Teck was far from sufficient. Therefore, on 13 November 1811, the King ordered the transfer of the bankruptcy proceedings to the Oberappellationstribunal in Tübingen, to which the GAK had to transfer the relevant files for this purpose. The Tutelary Councillor Maximilian Friedrich Römer was appointed bankruptcy trustee, GAK was dissolved in December 1811 and its managing director Faber was dismissed from his position at his own request. The supervision of the economic management of the farm continued to be the responsibility of a commission consisting of Cabinet Minister Graf von Taube, Cabinet Ministerial Director von Menoth and Oberfinanzkammerdirektor von Dünger. Carl Christian Helfferich, the mayor and hospital keeper of Kirchheim, became the managing director of the farm, which is now limited to Kirchheim for cost reasons. Inventory history: Even before the GAK was dissolved, its registry was torn apart by Royal Decree of 13 November 1811. All files necessary for the winding-up of the bankruptcy proceedings should be handed over directly to the Oberappellationstribunal in Tübingen. Since the GAK was still dependent on a part of the registry for the continuation of the remaining business, it was decided to copy the entire file material and to transfer only copies to Tübingen. In the course of copying, however, it turned out that it was not possible to complete this work within a reasonable period of time. On 21 and 29 November, the copies completed by then and the original documents not required by the GAK were sent to Tübingen with a list. While the files sent to Tübingen were sent to the Württembergische Hausarchiv via the later Stuttgart Higher Regional Court in at least two deliveries by July 1906 (today as Bü 18-22, 32-34 of the holdings G 246 in the Main State Archives Stuttgart), the files remaining at the GAK were transferred to the registry of the Cabinet and the State Archives in Stuttgart. They were transferred to the Haus- und Staatsarchiv between 1870 and 1900 as part of a more extensive delivery series. Processor's report: The 30 fascicles of GAK files which had been deposited in the Main State Archives belonged to the E 36 (Ministry of Foreign Affairs I) until the present new indexing as index 28. It is clear from the list of documents submitted that only part of the documents were in a systematic order.

1st Biographical Information on Wolfgang Kapp Wolfgang Kapp was born in New York on July 24, 1858, the son of the lawyer Friedrich Kapp, who had played an important role in the bourgeois-democratic revolution of 1848 and had to emigrate to the United States because of his participation in the Baden uprising. Wolfgang Kapp's mother was Louise Engels and was the daughter of the Major General and Commander of Cologne Engels. The family was originally called d'Ange and immigrated from France to Germany in 1687 after the Edict of Nantes. In 1870 Friedrich Kapp returned to Germany with his family; he lived in Berlin and was a national liberal, later a liberal member of the Reichstag from 1872-1877 and 1881-1884; he also worked as a renowned historian. Friedrich Kapp died in 1884, his son Wolfgang studied in Tübingen and Göttingen. He completed his studies in 1880 with a doctorate. Probably in 1881 Wolfgang Kapp married Margarete Rosenow, the daughter of a landowner in Dülzen (district Preußisch Eylau). After his marriage Kapp seems to have familiarized himself with the administration of a large agricultural business on his father-in-law's estate, because it was not until 1885 that he began his actual professional career as a trainee with the government in Minden. In 1886 he joined the Ministry of Finance, Department II, Administration of Direct Taxes, as a government assistant. From 1890 to 1899 he was district administrator in Guben. In 1890, at the beginning of his time as district administrator, Kapp bought the Rittergut Pilzen estate near the Rosenov estate and thus entered the circle of the East Prussian Great Agrarians. Out of his interest for the interests of agriculture a work of agricultural policy content arose in Guben, which attracted a great deal of attention in the Ministry of Agriculture, so that an appointment as a government council followed in 1900. Kapp was appointed to the I. Dept. Administration of Agricultural and Stud Affairs, Department of Agricultural Workers' Affairs, but during the era of Reich Chancellor von Bülow as Commissioner of the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture he was primarily active in the preparation of the customs tariff of 1902 and in the initiation of the new trade agreements of 1904-1906. Kapp gained his first foreign policy experience in negotiations with representatives of foreign countries. Kapp soon gained a closer relationship with the then Reich Chancellor von Bülow, with whom he shared similar political views. During his time at the Ministry of Agriculture, Kapp seems to have had ambitious plans for his future professional and political career and at least aspired to the position of district president. That his plans went even further can be seen from the recording of a conversation between Kaiser Wilhelm II and the General Field Marshal von der Goltz, in which the possibility of Kapp's successor in the Reich Chancellery was considered. However, this conversation, whose date lies between 1909 and 1911, took place at a time when Kapp had already left the Prussian civil service. The reason for his resignation from the Ministry of Agriculture seems to have been his annoyance at not taking his person into account when appointing district presidents. On 5 April 1906, the East Prussian countryside elected the owner of the Pilzen manor as general landscape director. It is very characteristic of Kapp's personality under what circumstances he became known in East Prussia through a trial he conducted against the landscape. The landscapes of the Prussian provinces were self-governing bodies and as such primarily representations of landowners. But the landscape also served as a representative body for state fiscal policy. Its real task, of course, lay outside the political sphere in granting credit to cooperatives. However, the credit policy has had a decisive influence on the distribution of property and the social structure of the provinces and has thus had political repercussions. Through the incorporation of agricultural banks and fire societies in the 19th century, the landscapes had become efficient organisations at provincial level. Kapp took on the new tasks with his own vehemence. He continued the landscape in the specified direction, primarily by developing the branch network of the Landschaftsbank, by merging the landscape with the East Prussian Feuersozietät, by granting more loans, particularly for small property, and by increasing the landscape funds. His policy was aimed at freeing agriculture, which was in a serious crisis at the beginning of the 20th century, from its dependence on state aid and enabling it to help itself by means of credit policy measures. In the course of these efforts, Kapp tackled three major tasks. First and foremost the question of agricultural debt relief, which the Prussian state initiated in 1906 with the law on the debt limit. Kapp was the first to try to make this framework law effective from the initiative of the parties themselves without further state aid by showing different ways of debt relief. The inclusion of life insurance as a means of reducing debt proved particularly effective. Instead of debt repayment, the premium payment was made to an agricultural life insurance company. This ensured that a certain amount of capital was available for debt reduction in the event of death. The second task resulted from the former. The desire to combine public-law life insurance with debt relief necessitated the creation of a number of public-law life insurance institutions, which were merged into an association chaired by Kapp. These facilities were especially designed to prevent the outflow of premium money from the countryside to the large cities, where it had been used especially for the construction of tenements. However, the outflow of capital was only one danger, the other was the rural exodus that began in the 19th century. He tried to strengthen small agricultural holdings with a colonization and agricultural workers' bill, which was accepted by the General Landtag in 1908. This measure was based on the recognition of the untenability of the institution of instants and deputants, who were in the closest dependence on the lord of the manor and who emigrated from this situation in masses to the large cities, where they strengthened the ranks of the industrial proletariat. The organ for settlement policy should be a landscaped settlement bank. The third task that Kapp set himself was the creation of a public-law national insurance scheme following the public-law life insurance scheme. This measure was primarily directed against the Volksversicherungsanstalt "Volksfürsorge", created by the Social Democrats, and was intended to secure capital for agricultural workers to buy their own farms by means of abbreviated insurance. These plans did not lead to the hoped-for success, but ended in a bitter feud with the private insurance companies, especially the Deutsche Volksversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft. In addition to his functions within the East Prussian landscape, Kapp was also active in various other bodies. In December 1906 he was appointed to the Stock Exchange Committee of the Reichsamt des Innern and in 1912 to the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Bank. The First World War gave Kapp's life and work a whole new direction. Kapp's biography is too little researched to judge how far he had buried his ambitious plans, which apparently pushed him to the top of the Reich government, or postponed them only for a better opportunity. Although Kapp had been a member of the German Conservative Party since at least 1906, he did not take the path of an existing party to make a political career. This path probably did not correspond to his personality, described as authoritarian, ambitious and independent. He made the great leap into high politics through his sensational conflict with Reich Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg. In his memo of 26 May 1916 "Die nationalen Kreise und der Reichs-Kanzler", which he sent to 300 public figures, including Bethmann Hollweg himself, he sharply criticised what he considered to be the weak policy of the Reich Chancellor, to whom he v. a. accused him of his alleged pacting with social democracy, his reluctance to America and his rejection of the unrestricted submarine war demanded by extremely militaristic circles, but also of a false war economic policy. The sharp reaction of Bethmann Hollweg, who spoke in a Reichstag session of "pirates of public opinion", among others, who abused "with the flag of the national parties", Kapp perceived as a personal affront to which he reacted with a demand for a duel. On the contrary, Kapp had to take an official reprimand and his re-election as General Landscape Director, which had taken place in March 1916 on a rotational basis, was refused confirmation by the Prussian State Ministry. Since his friends held on to Kapp in the East Prussian landscape, he was re-elected in 1917. This time - since Bethmann Hollweg had been overthrown in the meantime - he was able to take up his post as general landscape director again. At first, the events of 1916 led him even more into politics. Here he expressed solidarity with a circle of extremely reactionary and aggressive military forces around General Ludendorff and Grand Admiral von Tirpitz, who pursued a ruthless internal perseverance policy that tightened up all the forces of the people and a policy of unrestrained annexation and total warfare towards the outside world. Emperor Wilhelm II, who in principle sympathized with this extreme direction, had to refrain from supporting this group out of various considerations of public opinion and the negative attitude of the party majorities in the Reichstag. Kapp and his comrades-in-arms assumed in their political ambitions the complete certainty of the German final victory. They closed their eyes to the already looming possibility of defeat for Germany, especially after America entered the war. The war and peace goals they represented, especially the annexation plans at the expense of Russia and Poland, which were later only surpassed by Hitler, were marked by uncontrolled wishful thinking that in no way corresponded to objective reality. His extreme attitude drove Kapp into a blind hatred against any social and democratic movement; his fierce opposition against social democracy was mainly based on the legend of the dagger thrust against the imperialist Germany struggling to win. This military and National Socialist sharpening, for which Kapp found moral and financial support in certain circles of military leadership, but also among a number of university professors, writers, local politicians, agriculturalists, industrialists and bankers, culminated in the founding of the German National Party, which took place on 2 September 1917 (the "Sedan Day") in the Yorksaal of the East Prussian landscape. Although Kapp was clearly the spiritus rector of this "collection party", two other persons were pushed into the foreground, intended for the eyes of the public: These were the Grand Admiral von Tirpitz as 1st chairman and Duke Johann Albrecht von Mecklenburg as honorary chairman of this party. The German Fatherland Party did not seek seats in the Reichstag, but saw itself as a pool of national forces to bring about Germany's final victory. The statute provided for the immediate dissolution of the party once its purpose had been achieved. In addition to mobilising all forces to achieve military victory, Kapp's founding of the party also had another purpose that was not made so public. Tirpitz, then 68 years old, was to be launched as a "strong man" to replace the "weak" chancellors Bethmann Hollweg and Michaelis. It was obvious that in this case Kapp would join the leadership of the imperial government as advisor to the politically ultimately inexperienced Grand Admiral. The November Revolution of 1918 and the immediate surrender of Germany put an abrupt end to these lofty plans. But Kapp and his friends did not admit defeat. Although the German Fatherland Party was dissolved in December 1918, it was immediately replaced by a new party, the German National People's Party, which developed into a bourgeois mass party during the Weimar Republic, but no longer under Kapp's leadership. After the fall of the Hohenzollern monarchy, Kapp immediately opposed the revolution and the Weimar Republic. He could not or did not want to accept the social and political conditions that had arisen in the meantime; his goal was clearly the restoration of pre-war conditions. The sources, which were only incomplete at that time, do not show when the idea of a coup d'état was born and how the conspiracy developed in all its branches. A close associate of Kapp's, Reichswehrhauptmann Pabst, had already attempted a failed coup in July 1919. Together with Kapp, Pabst created the "National Unification" as a pool of all counter-revolutionary forces and associations. This Reich organisation was to coordinate the preparations for the coup in Prussia and Bavaria, while Kapp was to develop East Prussia into the decisive base of counterrevolution. From here, with the help of the Freikorps operating in the Baltic States, the Reichswehr and the East Prussian Heimatbund, whose chairman was Kapp, the survey was to be carried to Berlin with the immediate aim of preventing the signing of the Versailles Treaty. The approval of the Versailles Treaty by the parliamentary majority has created a new situation. Now Ludendorff, one of the co-conspirators, proposed to carry out the coup directly in Berlin, whereby the Baltic people, who were disguised as work detachments on the large Eastern Elbe goods, were to take over the military support. Meanwhile, the conspirators, headed by Kapp and Reichswehr General Lüttwitz, tried to gain the mass base absolutely necessary for the execution of the coup d'état through a broad-based nationalist smear campaign. The company was already at risk before it could even begin. Kapp had demanded that his military allies inform him at least 14 days before the strike so that he could make the necessary political preparations. That the coup d'état had just begun on 13 March 1920 depended not so much on carefully considered planning, but on coincidences that were not predictable. One of the reasons for the premature strike was the dissolution of the Freikorps, especially the Ehrhardt Brigade, decided by the Reich government. This revealed the fact that, in the absence of a party of their own, the conspirators were unable to avoid relying on the loose organization of the resident defence forces, which to a certain extent were also influenced by social democracy. The whole weakness of the company was evident in the question on which forces the new government should actually be based. While the military saw an arrangement with the strongest party, social democracy, as unavoidable, Kapp categorically rejected pacting with social democracy. He wanted to put the Social Democrat-led government as a whole into protective custody. But now the government was warned; for its part, it issued protective arrest warrants against the heads of the conspirators and left Berlin on March 12. In the early morning of March 13, the Navy Brigade Ehrhardt marched into Berlin without encountering armed resistance, as would have been the duty of the Reichswehr. Kapp proclaimed himself Chancellor of the Reich and began with the reorganisation of the government. The order of the new rulers to arrest the escaped imperial government and to remove the state government if they did not stand on the side of the putschists was only partially executed by the local commanders. The proclamation of the general strike on 13 March and the reports arriving from the most important cities and industrial centres about joint actions of the working class prompted the indirect supporters of Kapp, the large industrialists and the Reichswehr generals, to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. Kapp had to see the hopelessness of his company. Eyewitnesses reported that Kapp had spent almost 3 days of his time as Chancellor of the Reich "with gossip". On March 15, the "adventure" was over. Kapp apparently stayed hidden with friends near Berlin for some time after the failed coup and then flew to Sweden in a provided plane. Here he initially lived under different false names in different places, at last in a pension in Robäck, but was soon recognized and temporarily taken into custody. The Swedish government granted asylum to the refugee, but he had to commit himself to refrain from all political activities. When the high treason trial against the heads of the March company in Leipzig began, Kapp was moved by the question of his position in court. At first, he justified his non-appearance with the incompetence of the Ebert government and with the constitution, which in his opinion did not exist. Kapp said that there was no high treason in the legal sense against the "high treason" of social democracy. When in December 1921 one of the co-conspirators, the former district president of Jagow, was sentenced to a fortress sentence by the Imperial Court, Kapp changed his mind. Still in Sweden he worked out a justification for the process ahead of him, in which he denied any guilt in both an objective and a subjective sense. On the contrary, he intended to appear before the court with a charge against the then government. It didn't come to that anymore. Kapp had already fallen ill in Sweden. At the beginning of 1922 he returned to Germany and was remanded in custody. On 24 April 1922, he underwent surgery in Leipzig to remove a malignant tumour from the left eye. Kapp died on 12 June 1922; he was buried on 22 June at the village churchyard in Klein Dexen near his estate Pilzen. 2. inventory history The inventory, which had been formed in its essential parts by Kapp himself, was transferred by the family to the Prussian Secret State Archives as a deposit in 1935. Here the archivist Dr. Weise started already in the year of submission with the archival processing, which could not be completed, however. In the course of the repatriation of the holdings of the Secret State Archives, which had been removed during the Second World War, the Kapp estate was transferred to the Central State Archives, Merseburg Office. In 1951, Irmela Weiland, a trainee, classified and listed the stock here. As a result of the processing a find-book was created, which was until the new processing in the year 1984 the kurrente find-auxiliary. 1984 the stock was to be prepared for the backup filming. It turned out that the processing carried out in 1951 did not meet today's archival requirements, so that a general revision was considered necessary. The graduate archivists Renate Endler and Dr. Elisabeth Schwarze rearranged and simply listed the holdings according to the principles of order and indexing for the state archives of the German Democratic Republic, Potsdam 1964. The found file units were essentially retained, in individual cases they were dissolved and new indexing units were formed. In addition, 0.50 m of unprocessed documents were incorporated into the estate. The old regulatory scheme, which was essentially broken down chronologically, was replaced by a new regulatory scheme based on Kapp's areas of activity. In the course of the revision, the portfolio was re-signed. The relationship between the old and the new signatures was established through a concordance. The new find book replaces the previously valid find book from 1951. The stock is to be quoted: GStA PK, VI. HA Family Archives and Bequests, Nl Wolfgang Kapp, No... 3) Some remarks on the content of the holdings The Kapp estate contains 7.50 running metres of archival material from the period from 1885 to 1922, including some earlier and later individual pieces. The holdings mainly contain documents from Kapp's official and political activities, to a lesser extent also correspondence within the family and documents from the administration of the Knights' Manor Pilzen. The density of transmission to the individual sections of Kapp's professional and political development is quite different. While his activities with the Minden government, in the Prussian Ministry of Finance and as district administrator in Guben are relatively poorly documented, there is a rather dense tradition about his activities as director of the general landscape and as chairman of the German Fatherland Party. The documentation on the preparation and implementation of the coup shows gaps which can be explained, among other things, by the fact that important agreements were only reached orally at the stage of preparing the coup. Moreover, Kapp, who had to flee hastily to Sweden after the coup d'état failed, was no longer able to give this part of his estate the same care as the former one. Overall, however, it is a legacy of great political importance and significance. Merseburg, 2. 10.1984 signed Dr. Elisabeth Schwarze Diplomarchivar Compiled and slightly shortened: Berlin, April 1997 (Ute Dietsch) The clean copy of the find book was made by Britta Baumgarten. Note After the reunification of the two German states, the Merseburg office was closed, the archival records and thus also the Kapp estate were returned to the Secret State Archives in Berlin (1993). From the inventory maps, this reference book was created after maps that no longer existed were replaced (post-distortion of files).

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

(Bü 1 - 1983), 70 current M (so far fonds E 179 III);2nd delivery of the processing office of the registry of the district government Ulm from 1924 (to the Staatsfilialarchiv Ludwigsburg): General and special files after 1906 with extensive old files, indexed by the delivery directory from Dec. 1924 (Bund 1 - 517) as well as provisional note repertory by Amtsrat Müller 1966ff. (Bü. 3834 - 4157) and Amtsrat Hofer with the collaboration of Zeitangestellten Vogler (Bü. 4158 - 8485) 119.5 m (so far fonds E 179 III);3. Delivery of the ministerial department for district and corporate administration in Stuttgart from 1924 (to the Staatsfilialarchiv in Ludwigsburg): Supplements, indexed by the delivery index of Nov. 1924 (Bund 171 - 212) as well as a preliminary repertory of notes by Amtsrat Müller and Archivinspektoranwärter Herzer from 1974ff. (Bü. 3001 - 3833), 13.5 linear metres (so far collection stand E 173 - 180);4. Deliveries from the State Archives Sigmaringen (received there from the Regierungspräsidium Tübingen and from district offices) as well as from the Main State Archives Stuttgart (from the inventory of the Ministry of the Interior) from 1980 - 1983: Supplements, unlisted, title recordings 1984 by Amtsrat Hofer, 1.25 linear metres. M (= fonds E 179 IV) Foreign provenances were excavated to a greater extent from the 1906 delivery, but in the case of only a few documents were left with the files and the provenance assignment was noted in the title entries (see overview of foreign provenances in the appendix of the preliminary remark). The excavated documents could be assigned to already existing archival holdings, namely D 48a, Upper Government of the Department of Criminal Investigation and Upper Police Department or the Section of Internal Administration from 1806 - 1817 (access 4 m), D 49, Landesökonomiekollegium or Section of Municipal Administration from 1806 - 18917 (access 1.50 m), D 37, Section of Crown Domains and Foundations from 1811 - 1817 (access 9.5 m) and D 79 - 82, Districts and Bailiwicks from 1806 - 1817 (access 2.3 m). A total of 0.8 linear metres of records were handed over to the Main State Archives in Stuttgart and the State Archives in Sigmaringen, while 4 linear metres of records were cashed in for the Low Service Examination. ), it was possible for the benefit of the future evaluation of this extensive document delivery to form a total stock from the individual deliveries on the basis of this file plan. The title entries for the newer parts could be sorted back on the basis of the file numbers which are assigned analogously for the older parts ("Generalia - Spezialia"). the title entries created in the numerus currens-procedure kept their numbering even after the classification, so that the numerical order is preserved in the magazine, but not in the repertory. The original double numbering of the stocks "Generalia" and "Spezialia" could be eliminated by renumbering the "Spezialia" Büschel 1 - 1983 in Büschel 1001 - 2983, thanks to a larger numbering gap. The stock E 179 II has a circumference of 213.6 m. The highest order number is 8689. Order numbers that are not assigned are documented in the section on "Retroconversion".Ludwigsburg, August 1985Karl Hofer Fremdprovenienzen (ordered by the seat of the authorities): Allmendingen, SchultheißenamtBiberach, OberamtEhingen, KreisamtFreiburg, Vorderösterreichische StiftungsbuchhaltungGeislingen, OberamtGöppingen, Landvogtei an der Fils an.

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

I. On the history of the medical administration in Württemberg: The health care system already received a comprehensive and thorough promotion through the Great Church Constitution of Duke Christopher of 1579 in Altwürttemberg. A special section on physicians and wound physicians dealt with their ability to practice internal and external medicine, with the support of pharmacies to strengthen and maintain the power of the people, and with the care of the poor. supervision of the health system was then entrusted to the ducal church council with the involvement of experts, namely the two Collegia medica (medical bodies), which consisted of the ducal physicians in Stuttgart and the professors of the medical faculty in Tübingen.Over the years, health promotion has been supplemented by a series of special regulations and all existing provisions on doctors, wound doctors, pharmacists and midwives have been combined into a whole by the two medical regulations of 30.10.1720 (Reyscher XIII p. 1185) and 16.10.1755 (Reyscher XIV p. 416). In 1734 a medical college was set up for the epidemic police, and from 1755 the medical deputation had to watch over the health of humans and animals. King Friedrich then put the promotion of the health service on a modern basis. Instead of the medical deputation, he set up a special directorate, the Royal Medical Department, in the organizational manifesto of 1806 for the administration of the "medical institutions and the medical service", which was transformed into the Section of the Medical Service in 1811. It consisted of two personal doctors and two junior doctors under the administration of the interior. According to an instruction dated 23.6.1806 (Reg.Bl. p. 32), its tasks included the supervision of all main and auxiliary health care personnel and all public hospitals as well as the prevention of human and animal diseases. In addition, the two Collegia medica continued to exist. The "Physio" were subordinated to the Medical Department. According to the general decree of June 3, 1808 (Reg. Bl. p. 313) they had to make sure that the medical persons belonging to their district complied with their duty. The health service in the countryside was then regulated in detail by the general decree of March 14/22, 1814 (Reg. Bl. p. 121), which adapted the medical constitution to the new division according to upper offices and bailiwicks. Each senior office received a public health officer under the name of Senior Medical Officer, who was to supervise all medical institutions and the other medical personnel, inspect the pharmacies and the wound doctors and their instruments, and instruct and inspect the midwives. In each bailiwick one of the senior physicians was also employed as a bailiff's doctor. He had the higher supervision over these institutions and persons and was obliged to check the medical conditions in his bailiwick's district every four years. The health care system was reorganised by King Wilhelm's decree of 6 June 1818 (Reg. Bl. p. 313). The section of the medical system was transformed into the Medical College, but only the purely technical objects were taken over by it: The health police and the management of the health police institutions were assigned partly to the Ministry of the Interior and partly to the new district governments, to which (until 1881) a practising doctor, the district medical doctor (the former bailiff's doctor), was assigned as an extraordinary member. Against the fear of being buried alive, the statutory post-mortem examination was introduced by decree of 20.6.1833 (Reyscher XV.2 p. 1016). The pharmacies were already under the supervision of the health administration according to the directive of 1807. A new task for the promotion of public health was brought by the decree of 14.3.1860 (Reg.Bl. p. 37) on the supervision of the traffic with meat. After the entry of Württemberg into the German Reich, the development of the Württtemberg health care system could continue without change for the time being. Through the Constitution of the Reich, the Reich had reserved to itself only the supervision and legislation on "measures of the medical and veterinary police" and had established the Reich Health Office for this purpose. The structure and tasks of the higher health authority in Württemberg were adapted to the development of the economy and medical science in recent years by ordinance of 21.10.1880 (Reg. Bl. 1881, p. 3) and decree of 21.6.1881 (Reg.Bl. p. 398). The Medical College was then "the central authority for the supervision and technical direction of medical and public health care". The district governments were thus eliminated. Accordingly, the county medical councils were abolished and their tasks were transferred partly to the senior physicians and partly to the medical college. Medical College, Department of State Hospitals" for the processing of objects via the State Hospitals, the State Midwifery School and the lunatic system, and a further department called "Royal Medical College, Veterinary Department" was established to handle all business in the field of veterinary medicine. The Medical College was repealed by law of 15.12.1919 (Reg.Bl. p. 41) on the reorganization of the health system with effect from 1.1.1920. Its tasks were transferred by decree of 17.12.1919 (Reg.Bl. p. 420) to the Ministry of the Interior and the authorities and institutions subordinated to it. TWO. On the history of the holdings: The files of the Medical College were delivered in four volumes (1911, 1921, 1930 and 1957) to the Ludwigsburg State Archives, partly directly and partly via the Ministry of the Interior, and have since been listed in the general overview as individual holdings. In the current reorganisation, they have been combined to form a single portfolio. In the course of this work, the files on the state hospitals - which until 1880 had not been directly subject to the Medical College - were excavated and combined into a special collection (now E 163, Administration of the State Hospitals). In addition to the files of the Medical College (1818-1920) and its previous authorities, the Medical Department (1806-1811) and the Section of Medical Science (1811-1817), the present holdings E 162 I also contain individual files of the ducal medical deputation, which were left in the holdings for reasons of expediency. In addition, the files on pharmacies that had grown up with the four district governments and had entered the registry of the Medical College in 1909 were retained. Occasionally there are also archives of the superior authority of the Ministry of the Interior. Diaries of the Supervisory Commission for State Hospitals were attached to the diaries of the Medical College. Since the incorporation of this commission into the Medical College, they have in any case been included in the diaries of the Medical College together with the veterinary department of the Medical College, which had also been newly formed, and the holdings were re-recorded in 1971-1977 by the archivist Erwin Biemann and the undersigned and brought into the present order. It was not possible to fall back on the old registry structure. The holdings E 162 II contains personal files of doctors, dentists, surgeons, obstetricians, veterinarians and pharmacists of the same provenance. Ludwigsburg, 15 December 1977W. Bürkle

1. to the biography Georg von Körbling: Georg von Körbling was born in Würzburg on 12.5.1856 as son of the Bavarian Genie-Oberleutnants and later Obersten Ignaz Körbling and his wife Auguste, née Hausmann. At the age of 13, von Körbling was admitted to the Bavarian Cadet School in Munich, where he received five years of military training. In 1874 he entered the Württemberg service as a junior officer of the flag and in the pre-war period he became colonel and commander of the infantry regiment of Kaiser Wilhelm König v. Preußen (2nd Württ. No. 120) in Ulm (22.4.1912). At the beginning of the First World War, von Körbling was deployed in the Argonne Mountains (France), but fell ill with the Ruhr in September 1914 and returned to Ulm. The change of periods of service and illness then went through his entire wartime, spent exclusively on the western front or in Württemberg: from December 1914, von Körbling took command of the Deputy 53rd Infantry Brigade in Ulm and was promoted to Major General on the occasion of the imperial birthday (27.1.1915). In February 1915, he returned to the French front as commander of infantry regiment no. 120, and in April 1915, he took command of the 53rd Infantry Brigade. With this unit von Körbling was first deployed in the Argonne, from January 1916 in Flanders and from July 1916 in the Somme (France). Due to a renewed illness von Körbling was transferred to the officers of the army in September 1916 and appointed commander of the I. Deputy 54th Infantry Brigade in Ulm in October 1916. After a year, he rejoined the French front. From November 1917 he commanded the Prussian 37th Reserve Infantry Brigade, from March 1918 the 202nd Infantry Division deployed in Lorraine. Already in June 1918 von Körbling fell ill again and was again seconded to the officers by the army. After his promotion to Lieutenant General (18.7.1918) he assumed the chairmanship of an OHL commission at the staff of Army Division B from 20 July to 16 October 1918. Von Körbling retired from military service in July 1919. During his military career von Körbling received several high German and non-German awards, among others the Order of the Württembergische Krone, which was connected with the personal nobility (3.5.1911), the Iron Cross 1st class (2.10.1914), the Prussian Red Eagle Order 2nd class with swords (27.12.1916), the Bulgarian Alexander Order (8.8.1917) and the Austrian Military Cross 2nd class (6.12.1917). During the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich, von Körbling's activities included the publication of newspaper articles and lectures on his war experiences. As commander of an imperial body regiment, he had already taken part in the emperor's New Year receptions in the pre-war period. For this reason, Körbling was invited to a feast in Doorn (Netherlands) in 1929 on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Wilhelm II. Körbling's visit to Doorn is mentioned in his autobiographical writings. Georg von Körbling had been married to Adelinde von Fischer since 1886 and had two sons with her, one of whom (Theobald) died shortly after her birth in 1887. Georg von Körbling died on 27.1.1942 in Ulm. 2 On the biography of Alfred Körbling: Alfred Theobald Lukas Karl Körbling was born on 19 January 1889 in Weingarten as the second son of Georg von Körbling and his wife Adelinde. Körbling's military training began in the spring of 1902, when he first entered the Prussian Kadettenhaus Karlsruhe and finally the Hauptkadettenanstalt Großlichterfelde. In 1908 he was transferred as a lieutenant to the Grenadier Regiment No. 123 in Ulm and remained there with a short interruption until 1913. After a successful application, Körbling changed to the Imperial Protection Force for D e u t s c h - O s t a f r i k a in spring 1913 and joined the 10th Field Company in Dar es Salaam in autumn 1913. Only one month later he was transferred to the 1st Field Company in Arusha near Kilimanjaro. At the beginning of the First World War, Körbling participated in operations against the Uganda Railway in British East Africa and in the northeast of the German protectorate. In 1916 he fell ill with various tropical diseases, so that after the withdrawal of the German troops in autumn 1916 he was handed over to the British units because of his inability to transport. After stays in several military hospitals and camps, Körbling was sent to a British prisoner of war camp on Malta in 1918. In 1919 he returned to Ulm and in 1920 retired from the army in the rank of captain. During the First World War Alfred Körbling received the Iron Cross 2nd class (2.9.1916), among others. In the Weimar Republic Körbling began to study at the Agricultural University of Hohenheim after various occupations in the agricultural sector, which he completed with a diploma in 1926. From 1927 onwards, Körbling headed the Heeresfachschule für Landwirtschaft in Tübingen and on January 1, 1930, received a permanent post as a specialist student councillor. Körbling joined the NSDAP in the Weimar Republic as a party politician and held the rank of Sturmbannführer in the Weimar Republic.Alfred Körbling had been married to the general daughter Erna Zöller since 1919 and had three daughters. He died on 22.7.1933 in Tübingen of heart paralysis. 3. on the estate of Georg von Körbling and Alfred Körbling: documents from the estate of Georg von Körbling, especially war diaries, lecture manuscripts and printed matter, were handed over to the army archive in Stuttgart a few months after the death of the general in June 1942. These documents passed into the possession of the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart in 1945. In 1955 Alfons Beiermeister carried out a recording of the archives. In spring 2011, the Stuttgart State Archives were able to produce reproductions of documents by Georg von Körblings and Alfred Körblings, which are in the possession of Ilse Hames, Alfred Körblings eldest daughter. These were photographic documents and autobiographical writings by Georg von Körbling and photographs by Alfred Körbling. The addition of new documents to the M 660/133 estate necessitated a new distortion. This was carried out in August 2011 by archive assistant Michael Ucharim, M.A. under the direction of Dr. Wolfgang Mährle. The stock now comprises 17 tufts. The documents adopted in 2011 were given bundle numbers 1-4 and 13-14. 4.

Preliminary remark: 1. the older Ministry of Finance Administration from 1806 - 1850 originally consisted of three separate departments, namelya) from 1806 - 1817b) from 1818 - 1835 andc) from 1836 - 1850. the first department was transferred to the Financial Archives in general in the years 1858 and 1866, the second and third in 1892 (see General Repertory p. 93 and 96). In 1900 and 1903 further files were added to these files and to facilitate the registration in Stuttgart (see Verw. Fasz. No. 1.6 Qu. 4), which do not only originate from the period 1806 - 1850, but partly extend into the 1880s.2According to this, the older part of the Finance Ministry registry incorporated into the archive, as described in the present repertory, generally understands the years 1806 - 1850 (without, however, exhausting these, since not all files of the period mentioned were transferred to the Finance Archive), aqber frequently continues. Files from the time before 1806 also appear from time to time.3 After the two departments had been incorporated into the financial archive from 1818 - 1850, the lack of a uniform and good order immediately became palpable. From the outset, therefore, it was envisaged that the registry would be completely new. For this purpose first extensive excretions of dispensable files took place, about which the reservations in the old repertories and the lists lying with the manual files Qu. 151, 171 and 178 give information, at least as far as whole fascicles come into consideration. The remaining files were completely rearranged under the union of the various registry departments and the present repertory was produced about them, which work came to an end in October 1904.4 It should be noted in this connection that, as a rule, no reservation was made in the case of other classifications of files in the registry diaries. When searching for files according to the registration numbers, which is rare in the archives, it should therefore always be noted that the classification of the files was exclusively based on the main contents of the same and on the new classification.5 The registry is housed in the giant building on the ground floor of rooms 60 and 61 (formerly the meeting room of the Kreisfinanzkammer with adjoining room). The registry diaries from 1807 - 1850 and the records from 1817 - 1846, which were brought here with the files, are set up there. For retroconversion of stock: The list of deliveries to stock A 221 established at the beginning of the 20th century was supplemented over the years by numerous supplements - e.g. numerous documents from the Ministry of Finance on the University of Tübingen were found during a delivery by the Ministry of Culture in 1906 - and thus appeared rather confusing. In addition, the original title recordings made in German writing are difficult to read and the original finding aid is also endangered from a conservation point of view. However, a thorough new indexing in the archives cannot be realized for years to come due to the size of the stock and the increasingly scarce personnel resources. For this reason, a retroconversion measure was initiated, in which outdated file titles were slightly revised if necessary. In those cases where knowledge of palaeography was required for reading the titles, it was carried out by the undersigned in the summer of 2007. The more legible supplements and additions were entered by the archive clerk Anna-Maria Diener. The numerous special files on individual locations, which were separated in the course of a renumbering of the holdings, had so far largely no information on duration and extent. To complete them, the files concerned were examined, but the titles, which usually only contain the local subject, were not completed. In addition to the undersigned, Lisa Hauser and Stephanie Kurrle, two archive inspector candidates, were involved in this measure, which took place from November 2007 to February 2008. The stock comprises 4530 tufts or 154 running metres of shelving.Stuttgart, March 2008Johannes Renz

Contents and scope The collection contains files, official books and documents of the Municipality of Worms for the period 1815 - 1945, with a focus on the period from the end of the 19th century to the 1920s, plus a few pieces with longer durations, minus the areas whose documents are stored in the archives in the 11th registration file 12th registry office 13th registry office 12th registry office 12th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office 13th registry office Police Directorate 14.

Cultural institutes, which, due to the quantity of material received and the fact that they are separated from the main stock, have been left as independent departments and some of them are already listed. In addition, plans for municipal and former municipal buildings of the period from around 1900 onwards are stored in the planning chamber of Amt 60.2 Bauamt-Hochbau. Further material still in stock at the offices is not known at present. The file envelopes usually carried (and carry, unless renewal was necessary due to poor condition) imprints or writings which they assigned to the (Lord) Mayor or the Mayor's Office, in the 1920s - 1940s also to the city administration. Only rarely do special municipal offices appear, namely - Stadtbauamt (approx. 70 files, sometimes factually and temporally parallel to those of the Lord Mayor, (especially in the case of files concerning Worms monuments), with departmental and section information that points to a different registration plan, - Versicherungs-/Fürsorge-/Wohlfahrts- und Jugendamt, Hessischer Bezirksfürsorgeverband Stadt Worms (changing names and combinations, approx. The files available here are thus likely to be the only remains of the registries of the offices mentioned, whereby the losses must have been enormous especially at the first two offices and presumably occurred only after 1945 due to the destruction of files without consulting the City Archives. Also files of the police office / police administration were found in approx. 25 cases in the stock and left in this connection, furthermore quite sporadically also further offices, whose delivery is good in the city archives (range of the Abt. 11 - 20, see above). The district office of Worms appears several times (especially in the files concerning economic concessions) as a preliminary provenance. TWO. The holdings were taken over by the City Archives around 1900 with a focus on the 1920s, but there are no individual records of this. On the file skirts, in which it was stored standing up to distortion, the delivery layers A, B, C, D and occasionally E were verifiable. In addition there was a larger delivery of the public utilities in 2002 (concerning the tram) as well as some files, which were delivered afterwards by municipal offices. In the course of the listing, the dissolved departments 64 (Scholarship Foundation Cornelius Heyl), 65 (White Scholarship Fund) as well as individual pieces from department 6, among them the documents of the 20th century previously kept as department 6 U, were integrated into department 5. Departments 3 (minutes of the 19th and 20th centuries) and 4 (invoices of the 19th and 20th centuries) had already been dissolved and assigned to Dept. 5 according to their period of affiliation, thus achieving the same status as Departments 1 and 2. For layer A there is a typewritten overview produced in the archives (now abbot 206 Old finding aids no. 4), which shows that abbot 5 A also contained files of the time of municipality (1792 - 1813), which are now integrated into abbot 2. The files lasted until about the middle of the 19th century and were arranged according to the registration plan for the Grand Ducal Mayors of Hesse of 1837 (original plan in Dept. 13 No. 1019). For stratum B, which comprised files from 1792 to 1906, mainly from the second half of the 19th century, there is a similar overview in Dept. 206 No. 4, also according to the order of the 1837 registry plan. There is also a handwritten register, which was apparently drawn up in one go and probably soon after 1906 (Dept. 206 No. 11). This list differs from the typewritten list mainly in that it contains a considerable number of files which are missing from the more recent list, only partially reappeared in the new list and must therefore have been cashed in or lost in the meantime. It also contains handwritten supplements of the archive employees Mrs. Sauerwein (in service until 1986) concerning files, which, for unknown reasons, had not been mentioned in the old register, had meanwhile appeared and been incorporated into the inventory, as well as a loose note of archive director Reuter with notes to the layers A, B and C. Also to layer C, which was formed from files of the time mostly after approx. 1906 - 1931, an old handwritten directory is available (Dept. 206 No. 12). It corresponds to the registration plan for the Großherzoglich Hessischen Bürgermeistereien of 1908, although it does not show sections below the departments marked with Roman numerals, but only consecutive numbering. This type of signing can also be found in part on the subsequent files up to 1945; a draft file plan with decimal classification (Dept. 5 No. 6631) submitted in 1932 has left no traces. There was no revision or machine transcription here, but there are more recent handwritten supplements by various hands. There are no directories for layers D and E, smaller deliveries. III. losses and cassation Due to the bombing raid of 21.02.1945 "primarily the loss of the stocks bricked up in several storeys in the Cornelianum was to be deplored, whereby above all considerable parts of the younger files of the city administration were lost. The exact extent of the loss of archival records, which may have been about 30 to 50 percent in the case of the more recent files, can hardly be determined with certainty" (Bönnen, Stadtarchiv, p. 22). In view of this and the losses - probably to be separated from it - noted above at layer B, any further cassation by the city archives was refrained from. The period of the densest file tradition extends from the end of the 19th to the 1920s. IV. Condition and storage The files stored in bundles and standing at the beginning of the indexing process, as well as the books, were, as far as possible, transferred to archive cartons in the usual manner. In the case of the tram files taken over from the Stadtwerke in 2002, the unusual condition that the original files, loosely laid out in file covers, were all put in standing files had to be reversed. Otherwise, stand-up files, folders or even thread-stitching appeared only sporadically. The 19th and 20th century invoices, the last part of the inventory, are only partially recorded at present (May 2004) and will continue to be stored in two rooms in the attic of the office building in Adenauerring due to their size and rare use. An archive box with the inscription "Schimmelbefall" contains the few affected pieces of the generally well-preserved stock (box no. 1140). V. Finding aids and other finding aids The inventory was recorded predominantly on index cards on the basis of the order by departments and with occasional deviations in the sections in accordance with the 1908 registry plan, and since 1992 has been stored in the PC (F

1. on the administrative history of the Württemberg upper offices: 1. the upper offices in their context (constitutional structure, "Staatsverein"): the administrative structure, which was created at the beginning of the 19th century for the double territory of the kingdom of Württemberg compared to the duchy, remained in place with minor changes until 1938, partly even beyond that. During this period, the Land was divided into 63 senior offices plus the Stuttgart City Council (1). The average area of an upper administrative district was around 1822 5.7 square miles = 316 square kilometres, the average number of inhabitants 20,700 (1926 : 41,604), whereby in the course of time a considerable imbalance resulted (the number of inhabitants per upper administrative district varied 1926 between 18,000 and 341,000). The four district governments, which replaced the twelve bailiwicks established in 1806 (2) in 1817, were the intermediate authorities between the individual upper offices and the ministerial level. The Württemberg constitution in force from 1819 to 1919 (3) was based on the municipalities as the "basis of the state association" (4). The higher offices had the task of bringing the administrative matters directly affecting the individual citizens, which the municipalities dealt with largely on their own responsibility, into the state administration. The problem of the greatest possible integration of all those affected by administrative measures arose for the higher offices as well as the problem of a uniform implementation of domestic government measures. The upper offices were also the constituencies for the elections to the Chamber of Deputies (5). 2. functionariesThe Ministry of the Interior delegated the responsibility for the higher office administrations to one senior official each, since the 1830s as a rule a lawyer with a university degree. As a civil servant, he was responsible for all administrative matters which were not the responsibility of the judicial (6) or fiscal (7) authorities, he was in charge of the police and (in the case of infringements) the penal authorities and he supervised the local authorities. As administrative civil servants, he was subordinate to a senior secretary and (since the second half of the 19th century) a bailiff as deputy. In addition to this administration, there was the official assembly as a body with coordination and integration functions. In it the individual municipalities of an Oberamtsbezirk were combined as an official body. The number of deputies each municipality provided depended on its share of the public burdens to be borne jointly, the "official damage". As an upper limit, a municipality was allowed to provide a maximum of one third (8) of the members of the official assembly, while small municipalities sent a joint representative. The Official Assembly met twice a year. In order to maintain its presence, it elects from among its members an executive committee, an actuary (who was at the same time an assistant to the Oberamts auditor) and appointed the Oberamtspfleger (9) as well as the other officials of the administrative body (10) as responsible for cash and accounting.Thus, according to constitutionalist theory, the responsibility for continuous, active administrative work lay with government officials, while financial regulation and control functions were carried out by a body that brought together those affected by administrative measures and those who financed them. Approaches that went beyond a representative system based purely on control and finance were not evident in the administrative sector, but rather in the area of social tasks and services, where officials of the official corporation were active. 3. limits of the uniform district organisation. It was not possible from the outset for all administrative functions to have an organisation in which (as in the case of the internal and judicial administrations) (11) the administrative districts corresponded to the regional districts. In the case of the deanery offices of the two large churches, it is clear from the regional distribution of the denomination that a district administration was not established for each upper office; nevertheless, as far as practicable, deanery and upper office boundaries were often identical. Where there were practical reasons to do so, the forestry, camera, customs and building inspectorates also had jurisdictional districts which deviated from the upper administrative districts. The decisive disruptive factor for a uniform administrative organisation at district level, the patrimonial jurisdiction of the class lord restored after 1819 by the Federal Act, was eliminated in 1849. The same applies to the special rights of independent royal and noble estates which before 1849 had not been incorporated into the municipal associations and thus not into the district administration. 4. individual important changes in the supreme official organisation1842: Due to excessive distances from the head office or other economic and traffic conditions, individual municipalities are reassigned in 31 head offices (Reg.Bl. 1842, p. 386 - 389).1850 ff: The regionally different development of the country leads to a considerable imbalance between individual districts in the course of time despite the original balance. Changes to individual divisions (e.g. dissolution of the Cannstatt regional office in 1923; dissolution of the Weinsberg regional office in 1926) do not eliminate these differences.1906: The Amtsversammlungs-Ausschuss is given the name Bezirksrat (district council) and is also consulted on the business of state administration. The Official Assembly may set up committees to monitor individual institutions and facilities of the official body. The actuary shall be replaced by a secretary elected for 3 years by the Assembly. 1933: Re-establishment of an official corporation, which is limited to an advisory function and is given the name Kreisverband. The district administrator is appointed the "leader" of the district administration. The terms Kreis (for Oberamt), Kreistag (for Amtsversammlung) and Kreisrat (for Bezirksrat) are introduced. The district council consists of the district administrator as chairman, the district leader of the NSDAP and five other members appointed by the district administrator in agreement with the district leader (Reg. Bl. 1938, pp. 51 - 72, 82, 139, 189).1938: 27 district associations are dissolved and affiliated to the remaining 34 (for the regulations and distribution of the individual municipalities see Reg. Bl. 1938, pp. 155 - 162). The city management district of Stuttgart will continue to exist as a city district. The cities of Ulm and Heilbronn (with Neckargartach and Sontheim) become town districts. Mögle-Hofacker 2. The history of the Backnang upper office: Up to the reorganization of the administration at the beginning of the 19th century, the city of Mögle-Hofacker was a part of the city. At the end of the 19th century, the area of the Backnang upper office consisted of the following parts (12): town and office Backnang (town, Reichenberger office, Ebersberger office), Murrhardt monastery office, individual parts from old Württemberg offices (Marbach office, Weinsberger office - Böhringsweiler lower office), Löwensteinsiche and storm feather possessions (Württemberg fiefdom) as well as possessions of the Schöntal monastery.From 1806 the upper office Backnang was first assigned to the district Heilbronn, belonged after the division of the dukedom into bailiwicks in 1810 to the bailiwick at the lower Necker and was subordinate since 1817 to the district government of the Neckar circle. The composition of the municipalities of the Oberamtbezirk listed below essentially lasted until the National Socialist administrative reform of 1938. As a result of the new district division decreed on 1 October 1938, the Backnang district became the legal successor of the Backnang district (Oberamt). With the exception of Neufürstenhütte, the former communities remained in the Backnang district. Further communities were assigned to him from the following (now dissolved) districts or upper offices: District Gaildorf: Gaildorf, Altersberg, Eutendorf, Fichtenberg, Frickenhofen, Gschwendt, Hausen an der Roth, Laufen am Kocher, Oberrot, Ottendorf, Sulzbach am Kocher and Unterrot.District (Oberamt) Marbach: Affalterbach, Allmersbach am Weinberg, Burgstall, Erbstetten, Kirchberg an der Murr, Kleinaspach, Nassach, Rielingshausen, and Weiler zum Stein.district (Oberamt) Welzheim: Kirchenkirnberg.on January 1, 1973 the district Backnang was finally dissolved. The legal successor became the Rems-Murr-Kreis. 3. statistical data and list of municipalities: Area : 283.44 sqkminhabitants: 31,944municipalities: 30 (2 towns, 28 municipalities)markings: 119places: 1991.

History of registries and holdings: The holdings F 152 III, which were newly catalogued from July to December 2004, consist of three parts: On the one hand, these are files that were delivered to the Ludwigsburg State Archives by the Backnang branch of the Waiblingen State Health Department in 1976 as part of a larger file delivery and assigned to the Oberamtsbestand (1 m; Bü 1-30). The second and largest part of the collection consists of documents that the District Office of the Rems-Murr District submitted in 1974 and 1975 at the insistence of the State Archives Administration (13.3 mf. m; Bü 31-391 and Bü 393-446)(13) A large part of these files, for which so far no finding aid was available, had been torn from their context of origin by self-proclaimed "district archivists" in the district offices Backnang and Waiblingen. In the Backnang District Office local and material pertinences had been formed which could not be returned continuously to the original order of the records and which were recorded in the last classification point as "local pertinences". In addition, the structure of the entire portfolio is based on the Flattich file plan, which also contained documents with the following third-party provenances that were segregated in the course of the registration work: Oberamtspflege Backnang: Invoice receipts, sorted by property and local pertinence (6.5 m), were assigned to F 717. Oberamt Gaildorf: Property files; partly sorted by municipalities (4 m), will in future form F 166 IV. Oberamt Marbach: Property files; partly sorted according to municipalities (4 m), were included in the inventory F 182 III. Oberamt Welzheim: Property files concerning the parish of Kirchenkirnberg (0.3 m running) form the inventory F 214 III.the files of the district office Backnang (0.4 m running) were included in the inventory FL 20/2 I.the third part of the inventory F 152 III originates from the inventory FL 20/2 I district office Backnang (10.2 m running; Bü 392 and Bü 447-935). These files, which had subsequently been arranged in the registry of the District Office according to the Flattich file plan, had previously only been indexed by a delivery list with file plan numbers and associated package numbers. This information can be found in the present finding aid book as a presignature. In the course of the revision of the inventory FL 20/2 I, documents of the provenances Oberamt Gaildorf (9 linear metres), Oberamt Marbach (1.5 linear metres) and Oberamt Welzheim (0.3 linear metres) were also sorted out and assigned to the respective inventories listed above (F 166 IV, F 182 III and F 214 III).In terms of content, the holdings excellently illustrate the diverse tasks of the Backnang Oberamt in large parts and thus supplement the previous Oberamt tradition, which the Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg holds in the holdings F 152 I, F 152 II (volumes) and F 152 IV (construction files). Also in the inventory FL 20/2 I Landratsamt Backnang there are - especially from the transitional period of the 1930s and 1940s - files that were created in the Oberamt. Further documents of the Oberamt Backnang can be found in the district archive of the Rems-Murr-Kreis in Waiblingen (fonds A1: Oberamt Backnang). Stock F 152 III comprises 935 units of registration, 24.5 metres of shelving. It contains documents with pre- and post-files from the period from 1701 to 1973, with the emphasis of the tradition on the period from the second half of the 19th to the first third of the 20th century. The files with the order signatures Bü 660, Bü 661, Bü 711 and Bü 719 are still subject to the personal blocking periods according to § 6 para. 2 of the Landesarchivgesetz.Ludwigsburg, December 2004Dr. Matthias Röschner NachtragF 152 III Bü 936-976 were spun off there in 2011 by Dorothea Bader in the course of the indexing of fonds F 166 IV and reassigned to the present fonds according to their provenance. Footnotes: (1) 63 of the 65 districts of the Oberamtsbezirk of 1808 remained after 1819: In 1819 the districts Ulm and Albeck had been joined to the Oberamtsbezirk Ulm. In 1811 the intermediate instance (at that time bailiwick bailiwicks), which had been generally inserted for the upper offices, was no longer applicable to the ministerial level of the Stuttgart city administration district. When in 1822 the city directorate of Stuttgart was again aligned with the higher offices, it was nevertheless no longer listed as a higher office, but always independently.(2) The first bailiwicks had been introduced in 1803 for Neuwürttemberg. The district governments existed until 1924.(3) See A.E. Adam. A century of Württemberg constitution, 1919.(4) Constitutional document § 62; Regierungsblatt of 1819, p. 645.(5) The deputies of the Second Chamber, who had not been sent out as representatives of specific interests (knighthood, representatives of both large churches, chancellors of the universities, guided tours), were each elected in the 63 upper offices and the 7 "good cities" (Stuttgart, Tübingen, Ludwigsburg, Ellwangen, Ulm, Heilbronn, Reutlingen).(6) The higher administrative courts established for each higher office in 1811 originally met under the chairmanship of the higher official. Since 1819 (edict about the Oberamtsverammlungen of 31.12.1818) they were independent. The separation of the judiciary and administration was thus completed at district level; the chief magistrate was confronted by the chief magistrate.(7) Property and income of the state were administered by the camera offices (omanial, construction, forestry administration). In the course of the 19th century, they finally developed into district coffers or district tax offices. In 1895 the alignment of the camera office districts with the upper office districts was completed.(8) From 1881 two fifths; cf. Grube, Vogteien, Ämter, Landkreise in der Geschichte Südwestdeutschland, 3rd edition 1975.(9) The senior official nurse received a seat and advisory vote in the official meeting, but was not allowed to be the municipal computer of the senior official city at the same time.(10) Above all, the official doctor, senior official veterinarian, senior official master builder, senior official street builder. (11) Each district court was responsible for one district of the Oberamt.(12) For the history of the authorities of the Oberamt see the preface by Walter Wannenwetsch in the Findbuch des Rems-Murr-Kreisarchivs für den Bestand A1 Oberamt Backnang 1806 - 1938.

To the existence: The upper office Öhringen was formed 1810 and comprised essentially former schöntalische, berlingische and hohenlohische possessions, which had fallen by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluß and Rheinbundakte to Württemberg. In 1811 Berlichingen, Schöntal and other places that had come from the dissolved Schöntal upper office to the Öhringen upper office were transferred to the Künzelsau upper office, for which the latter left Gaisbach, Neureut and Neufels to the Öhringen upper office. Mainhardt fell to the Weinsberg upper office, from which the Öhringen upper office received Geißelhardt with parcels in 1842. The municipalities mentioned below on pp. 7ff belonged to the Oberamt Öhringen, which had been assigned to the Jagstkreis since 1817. A change did not occur until the Weinsberg upper office was dissolved in 1926 and the eastern part was assigned to the Öhringen upper office (cf. below p. 10ff. the new community stock). 1938 saw the National Socialist administrative reform, in which Geißelhardt with Eschental, Finsterrot, Gnadental and Goggenbach finally fell to the Schwäbisch Hall district. In the course of the district reform of 1973, the district of Öhringen, which had been designed in this way, was dissolved; it almost completely merged into the newly created Hohenlohe district. The transfer of the files recorded here had been negotiated even before the dissolution of the district of Öhringen, so that the takeover could be completed soon after the district reform law came into force. The files were recorded under separation of the registration layers "Oberamt Öhringen" (until 1938) and "Landratsamt Öhringen" (after 1938 = inventory FL 20/14) in 1984 under the guidance of Dr. Trugenberger from the temporary employee Ibrom, after whose retirement the temporary employee Edling continued his work in 1986. The title recordings for the steam boiler files were made in 1986 by the archivist Biemann, who in 1987 randomly checked the title recordings, indexed the indexing work and structured the records in accordance with the file plan for Württembergische Oberämter. Ludwigsburg, July 1987 Dr. KretzschmarNachtrag Bü. 1820 - 1830 (from FL 20/14)Leuchtweis, August 1994 On the administrative history of the Württemberg higher offices: 1. the higher offices in their context (constitutional structure, "Staatsverein") The administrative structure, which was created at the beginning of the 19th century for the double territory of the kingdom of Württemberg compared to the duchy, continued with minor changes until 1938, partly even beyond that. During this period, the Land was divided into 63 senior offices plus the Stuttgart City Council (1). The average area of an upper administrative district was around 1822 5.7 square miles = 316 square kilometres, the average number of inhabitants 20,700 (1926 : 41,604), whereby in the course of time a considerable imbalance resulted (the number of inhabitants per upper administrative district varied 1926 between 18,000 and 341,000). The four district governments, which replaced the twelve bailiwicks established in 1806 (2) in 1817, were the intermediate authorities between the individual upper offices and the ministerial level. The Württemberg constitution in force from 1819 to 1919 (3) was based on the municipalities as the "basis of the state association" (4). The higher offices had the task of bringing the administrative matters directly affecting the individual citizens, which the municipalities dealt with largely on their own responsibility, into the state administration. The problem of the greatest possible integration of all those affected by administrative measures arose for the higher offices as well as the problem of a uniform implementation of domestic government measures. The upper offices were also the constituencies for the elections to the Chamber of Deputies (5). 2. functionariesThe Ministry of the Interior delegated the responsibility for the higher office administrations to one senior official each, since the 1830s as a rule a lawyer with a university degree. As a civil servant, he was responsible for all administrative matters which were not the responsibility of the judicial (6) or fiscal (7) authorities, he was in charge of the police and (in the case of infringements) the penal authorities and he supervised the local authorities. As administrative civil servants, he was subordinate to a senior secretary and (since the second half of the 19th century) a bailiff as deputy. In addition to this administration, there was the official assembly as a body with coordination and integration functions. In it the individual municipalities of an Oberamtsbezirk were combined as an official body. The number of deputies each municipality provided depended on its share of the public burdens to be borne jointly, the "official damage". As an upper limit, a municipality was allowed to provide a maximum of one third (8) of the members of the official assembly, while small municipalities sent a joint representative. The Official Assembly met twice a year. In order to maintain its presence, it elects from among its members an executive committee, an actuary (who was at the same time an assistant to the Oberamts auditor) and appointed the Oberamtspfleger (9) as well as the other officials of the administrative body (10) as responsible for cash and accounting.Thus, according to constitutionalist theory, the responsibility for continuous, active administrative work lay with government officials, while financial regulation and control functions were carried out by a body that brought together those affected by administrative measures and those who financed them. Approaches that went beyond a representative system based purely on control and finance were not evident in the administrative sector, but rather in the area of social tasks and services, where officials of the official corporation were active. 3. limits of the uniform district organisation. It was not possible from the outset for all administrative functions to have an organisation in which (as in the case of the internal and judicial administrations) (11) the administrative districts corresponded to the regional districts. In the case of the deanery offices of the two large churches, it is clear from the regional distribution of the denomination that a district administration was not established for each upper office; nevertheless, as far as practicable, deanery and upper office boundaries were often identical. Where there were practical reasons to do so, the forestry, camera, customs and building inspectorates also had jurisdictional districts which deviated from the upper administrative districts. The decisive disruptive factor for a uniform administrative organisation at district level, the patrimonial jurisdiction of the class lord restored after 1819 by the Federal Act, was eliminated in 1849. The same applies to the special rights of independent royal and noble estates which before 1849 had not been incorporated into the municipal associations and thus not into the district administration. 4. individual important changes in the supreme official organisation1842: Due to excessive distances from the head office or other economic and traffic conditions, individual municipalities are reassigned in 31 head offices (Reg.Bl. 1842, p. 386 - 389).1850 ff: The regionally different development of the country leads to a considerable imbalance between individual districts in the course of time despite the original balance. Changes to individual divisions (e.g. dissolution of the Cannstatt regional office in 1923; dissolution of the Weinsberg regional office in 1926) do not eliminate these differences.1906: The Amtsversammlungs-Ausschuss is given the name Bezirksrat (district council) and is also consulted on the business of state administration. The Official Assembly may set up committees to monitor individual institutions and facilities of the official body. The actuary shall be replaced by a secretary elected for 3 years by the Assembly. 1933: Re-establishment of an official corporation, which is limited to an advisory function and is given the name Kreisverband. The district administrator is appointed the "leader" of the district administration. The terms Kreis (for Oberamt), Kreistag (for Amtsversammlung) and Kreisrat (for Bezirksrat) are introduced. The district council consists of the district administrator as chairman, the district leader of the NSDAP and five other members appointed by the district administrator in agreement with the district leader (Reg. Bl. 1938, pp. 51 - 72, 82, 139, 189).1938: 27 district associations are dissolved and affiliated to the remaining 34 (for the regulations and distribution of the individual municipalities see Reg. Bl. 1938, pp. 155 - 162). The city management district of Stuttgart will continue to exist as a city district. The cities of Ulm and Heilbronn (with Neckargartach and Sontheim) became city districts. Mögle-Hofacker footnotes(1) 63 of the 65 districts of the upper district of 1808 remained after 1819: in 1819 the districts of Ulm and Albeck were merged to form the upper district of Ulm. In 1811 the intermediate instance (at that time bailiwick bailiwicks), which had been generally inserted for the upper offices, was no longer applicable to the ministerial level of the Stuttgart city administration district. When in 1822 the city directorate of Stuttgart was again aligned with the higher offices, it was nevertheless no longer listed as a higher office, but always independently.(2) The first bailiwicks had been introduced in 1803 for Neuwürttemberg. The district governments existed until 1924.(3) See A.E. Adam. A century of Württemberg constitution, 1919.(4) Constitutional document § 62; Regierungsblatt of 1819, p. 645.(5) The deputies of the Second Chamber, who had not been sent out as representatives of specific interests (knighthood, representatives of both large churches, chancellors of the universities, guided tours), were each elected in the 63 upper offices and the 7 "good cities" (Stuttgart, Tübingen, Ludwigsburg, Ellwangen, Ulm, Heilbronn, Reutlingen).(6) The higher administrative courts established for each higher office in 1811 originally met under the chairmanship of the higher official. Since 1819 (edict about the Oberamtsverammlungen of 31.12.1818) they were independent. The separation of the judiciary and administration was thus completed at district level; the chief magistrate was confronted by the chief magistrate.(7) Property and income of the state were administered by the camera offices (omanial, construction, forestry administration). In the course of the 19th century, they finally developed into district coffers or district tax offices. In 1895 the alignment of the camera office districts with the upper office districts was completed.(8) From 1881 two fifths; cf.

Inventory description: Abt. 209 Postcards Size: approx. 9000 pieces in 9 wooden boxes and 4 cartons, including 1. 3730 original postcards Worms/Umland and approx. 80 digital copies = 3521 registered pieces 2. approx. 5700 pieces other postcards without Worms or regional reference as well as duplicates Duration: after 1880 - 2001 How the postcards came into the archive and in which period the postcard collection was built up is not known. It is likely that these are mainly individual donations from users and smaller purchases. The collection also includes digital copies based on original originals in private ownership. In January 2006, the postcards of Mrs. Gerlinde Mauer, a temporary worker at the Jewish Museum, were re-sorted, while the existing group sorting was retained. From March to November 2011 the motifs related to Worms and its immediate surroundings as well as the military postcards were scanned with 300 dpi in original size and described by Mrs. Ingeborg Abigt in Augias until February 2012. For this purpose, a new classification was developed based on the old one. In addition, more postcards have been added ever since. The collection is stored in 10 wooden boxes in the magazine, shelf no. 46. The focus of the postcard collection is on collected views of Worms sights and views of the churches. The collection also contains a large number of military and propaganda cards, as well as postcards relating to the Grand Ducal Family. One part is unmarked, another has been sent by post and is marked with text, addressee and stamp. Since these are already published pictures, the stock is released for use. Reproductions, however, can only be made for private purposes due to the predominantly unclear legal situation. Exceptions are postcards of the publishers Christian Herbst and Füller, which can also be used for commercial projects and publications, as the city of Worms owns the rights, and postcards older than 70 years and therefore in the public domain.

History of Tradition For information on the history of the authorities, see Preface Ho 235 T 3 Report of the editor In Division I Section IX Medical Affairs, files were produced in the following areas: General regulations, examinations, employments, instructions of and for medical persons; physics certificates and/or senior physicians and/or district physicians; midwives; personal data of the senior physicians and/or district physicians and/or district physicians and/or district physicians and/or district physicians and/or district physicians County Veterinary Councils; Medical Police: prevention of diseases among humans, prevention of diseases among animals, supervision of pharmacies, cure-brushes; medical clinics; mineral springs and baths; forensic medicine; treatment of apparent deaths and casualties; periodic medical reports and visits. The present repertory is the revised version of the two official finding aids of the Prussian Government Section IX Medical Section IX of 1852 (see No. 478) and of 1927 (see No. 479). The repertories of the authorities partly agree, partly disagree. Occasionally, file numbers that had previously been regarded as order signatures were assigned twice. As the funds were used to locate authorities, amendments were made and not always in the expected places, which led to a great deal of confusion. The various entries about destruction or transfer to other registries and authorities also created confusion about the existence or location of the files. The NVA numbers behind the individual title records (if at all clearly assignable) gave a certain indication that the file must already have been in the archive. - The NVA number was the first signature to be assigned in the archive, regardless of the stock to which it belonged. Later, the Prussian files were removed from the NVA inventory and stored according to the old authority signature. - However, not every file with an NVA number could be found. The lack of clarity, the poor manageability and the state of conservation of the old finding aids have led to the necessity of simplifying the old signatures as well as to the present index. The first processing of the inventory took place only on the basis of the finding aids and not on the basis of the files. The content of the titles was not checked against the files, but only carefully normalised. The actual existence of the files and their duration was determined in the inventory in the magazine. In the process, files from the previously unallocated Prussian Government Sigmaringen had to be incorporated into the present partial stock. In the course of the work step of file control, notes describing physical anomalies were included in the present repertory. In addition, pre-proveniences have been demonstrated. The following preliminary provinces appear: "Fürstentum Hohenzollern Hechingen", "Geheime Konferenz Sigmaringen", "Geheime Konferenz Hechingen", "Fürstliche Landesregierung Sigmaringen", "Fürstliche Landesregierung Hechingen", "Preußische Übergangsregierung Sigmaringen", "Preußische Übergangsregierung Hechingen" and "Preußischer Kommissarius". One file was left as it was, despite free providence - namely "Prussian Government of Trier" - because it was a preliminary file. In addition, the provenance "President of Hohenzollern - settlement agency" appears. The task of this authority was to complete the business of the Prussian government of Sigmaringen, which had been dissolved in 1945. The repertory now has a place and person index. The problem with the creation of the place index was that some places in the east of the former German Empire are now on Polish territory. In order to facilitate the understanding of contemporary administrative contexts, these places were identified according to their administrative affiliation at the time. The present repertory lists all files that are listed in the list of authorities. If they could not be found, the note "not available" appears in the repertory. The state of conservation of the files is questionable, as the Prussian-stitched files were lying loose and unpacked on the shelf until recently. A further deterioration of the condition is not to be expected, however, since the files will soon be packed for archiving. The recording of the title recordings was carried out by the undersigned with the archival indexing program Midosa 95 in 2006. Corinna Knobloch and the undersigned checked the files in the magazine. Holger Fleischer completed the final EDP work. The present inventory comprises 479 units of description and 16,5 linear metres (unpackaged) and is quoted as follows: Ho 235 T 23-24 Nr.

The history of the district governments: The district governments were established by the 4th Edict of 18 Nov. 1817 at the same time as the district chambers of finance were revoked in 1849. Previously, the entire administration in Württemberg had been led by a central government college, in which sections had been formed for the various branches of the administration, in addition to the district governorates, which had only little competence and were called bailiwick bailiwicks from 1810 onwards, as well as the municipal and district authorities. The division of the country into districts and the creation of provincial colleges was modelled on the French Departmental Constitution of 1789, which also formed the basis for a new administrative organisation in other German states at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1818 it was put into effect, and at the same time the sections of internal administration, medicine, roads, bridges, hydraulic engineering, local government and the Commission for Municipal Use and Allodification of Farm Loans existing in the Ministry of the Interior, the section of crown domains, the section of state accounts, the section of agriculture, the section of state coffers in the Ministry of Finance, the section of foundations in the Ministry of Church and Education were abolished.After the instruction of Dec. 21. In 1819, the district governments were the supreme authorities in their area for all matters of state administration in the field of regimes (sovereign administration), the state police and the state economy, and for the administration of the property of municipalities, official bodies and foundations, insofar as these objects were not assigned to other district or central offices (Chambers of Finance as well as Protestant Consistory, Catholic Church Council, Academic Council, Superior Building Council, Provincial Stud Commission, Medical College, Superior Chamber of Accounts, Tax College, Forestry Council and Bergrat).The old 1819 directive was valid for 70 years, it was only replaced by the Decree of 15 Nov 1889 on the organisation of district governments and the course of their business. Their business was handled by a president as a member of the board, administrative councils and collegial assessors as well as the necessary office staff. For the technical consultation a county medical council was temporarily assigned to the health service, for the road, bridge and hydraulic engineering of the municipalities a construction council, another for the building industry of the municipalities and foundations an expert was assigned, for the permissions of steam boiler plants. Business was transacted partly through collegial consultation and decision-making, partly through the office.In the course of time, a number of important tasks were transferred from the original tasks of the district governments to other middle and central authorities, such as the Ministerial Department for Road and Water Construction (1848), the Central Office for Agriculture (1848), the Central Office for Trade and Commerce (1848), the Ministerial Department for Building Construction (1872), the Corporate Forestry Directorate (1875), the Medical College (1881) and the Higher Insurance Office (1912).After 1870, new tasks arose for the district governments through new Reich and state laws, namely the Industrial Code, the laws on the formation of district poor associations, on the administration of administrative justice, on the representation of Protestant church and Catholic parishes and on the compulsory expropriation of land. In addition, at the beginning of the 20th century, the water law was reorganized, social legislation was expanded and direct supervision of large and medium-sized cities and direct supervision of large and medium-sized cities was assigned. In the case of the tasks of the internal state administration to be carried out by the district governments, these were either the deciding or the decreing authority of the first instance, or the supervisory and complaints authority, or the evaluating and mediating authority. 1924, in the course of the removal of civil servants and offices, the district governments were replaced by a new ministerial department for district and corporate administration, subdivided into the Ministry of the Interior, for all competences which did not pass to the upper offices and the Ministry.Literature- Alfred Dehlinger, Württembergisches Staatswesen, 1951 - 1953 (esp. § 127)- Handwörterbuch der württembergischen Verwaltung, edited by Dr. Friedrich Haller 1915- Denkschrift über Vereinfachungen in der Staatsverwaltung vom 27.2.1911, in: Verhandlungen der Württ. Zweiten Kammer 1911/12, Beilage 28, S. 385ff. (Dep. of the Interior). To the district government of Reutlingen: The seat of the government of the Black Forest district, established at the end of 1817, was Reutlingen (Reutlingen district government), which was responsible for the upper offices of Balingen, Calw, Freudenstadt, Herrenberg, Horb, Nagold, Neuenbürg, Nürtingen, Oberndorf, Reutlingen, Rottenburg, Rottweil, Spaichingen, Sulz, Tübingen, Tuttlingen (with exclave Hohentwiel) and Urach. Furthermore, the workhouse for women in Rottenburg, which was affiliated to the prison for female prisoners in Gotteszell in 1907, was subordinated to her. While the number of senior offices in the district government of Reutlingen remained constant until 1938, the districts themselves experienced a decline in the number of senior offices in the district government of Reutlingen as a result of the law of 6 July 1938.1842 on the amendment in the delimitation of the administrative districts subsequent amendments:- from OA Herrenberg the municipality Hagelloch to OA Tübingen, - from OA Neuenbürg the municipalities Dennjächt, Ernstmühl, Liebenzell, Monakam, Unterhaugstett and Unterreichenbach to OA Calw- from OA Nürtingen the municipality Grabenstetten to OA Urach, Hausen am Tann and Roßwangen to OA Rottweil,- from OA Tübingen the municipality Altenriet to OA Nürtingen and- from OA Urach the municipality Pliezhausen to OA Tübingen and the municipality Eningen to OA Reutlingen.The above-mentioned places may therefore appear in the search book under different regional offices, which has to be taken into account in individual cases. Structure, order and distortion of the inventory: Present holdings E 177 I essentially contain the records handed over to the Ludwigsburg State Archives by the registry office of the district government in Reutlingen on December 3, 1924 - a torso in relation to the original records.A considerable number of the registry files had already been withdrawn and collected in 1823, 1835, 1848, 1853, 1863, 1872, 1889 and finally 1924, including the records until 1850, the business diaries until 1870 and the directorates until 1830 (cf. Further files had been handed over to the following offices for reasons of competence:- 1873 to the ministerial department for building construction (building files),- 1908 to the archive of the interior (files of the county Ober- und Niederhohenberg zu Rottenburg, the bailiwicks Black Forest, on the Alb, on the upper Neckar and on the middle Neckar, the Churfürstl. 1924 finally to the 17 upper offices of the district, to the ministerial department for district and corporate administration, to the ministerial department for building construction, to the regional trade office, to the trade and supervisory office, to the catholic high school council, to the ministerial department for higher schools and/or to the ministerial department for the higher schools. The files handed over to the Archive of the Interior as well as parts of the files handed over to the Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration and the Higher Offices (above all the Higher Offices Reutlingen and Urach) later came from these offices directly or via successor authorities (District Administrator's Offices) or the Ministerial Department for Technical Schools (see E 177 I Büschel 301 and 4393). In 1937, the State Archives Ludwigsburg, under the direction of the subsequent Director of the State Archives Prof. Grube, undertook a makeshift order and indexing of the holdings, which he described in the find book as follows: "The registry of the Reutlingen district government was handed over to the State Branch Archives in 1924 with an inadequate handover register of 5 pages. The older registry plan (with keyword register) and a keyword register of 1910 designated as "Repertorium", which was also handed over, were also not sufficient for the determination of the actually existing files. Since it is not possible in the foreseeable future to keep an internal order for the somewhat confused holdings and to separate the files that are not worthy of archiving, the present repertory was produced by Hausverwalter Isser in 1935 on the occasion of the external order of the holdings as a temporary auxiliary measure according to the fascicle inscriptions. As part of the revision of the holdings of the district governments in the Ludwigsburg State Archives from 1986 to 1990, the undersigned, together with the temporary employee Karin Steißlinger, who opened up the extensive administrative legal cases, made new title records for the various partial holdings of the Reutlingen district government (E 177 I, E 177 III and without signature). The registry was based on a simple systematic order introduced after 1863 by Registrator Bregizer and Chancellor List Wenz, according to which the files were divided into the main groups A Regiminal and B Police files with 19 and 13 rubrics respectively; the file bundles themselves were correspondingly provided with file signatures, i.e. with letters and numbers of the stands (boxes) and compartments. After the new indexing had been completed, the title records created using the numerus currens-procedure were sorted according to the old file plan, but the structure of the file groups in the finding aid book was made clearer and without the division into two parts of the Regiminal and Police Administration. Of these, 0.5 linear metres were allocated to the files available here (Kreisreg. Ludwigsburg, Ellwangen and Ulm, Commission for the Clean-up of the Official and Municipal Association, Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration). The Main State Archives received 0.6 linear metres (mainly old-valued files) and the State Archives Sigmaringen 1.6 linear metres (files of the higher offices), while 0.8 linear metres of files (slaughterhouse and meat inspection fees, office costs of the higher offices, examination of sports invoices) were collected.For 297, plans and cracks still attached to the files as well as 175 newspaper copies proof maps for the holdings JL 590 and JL 430 were produced. 4484 tufts were made for the holdings E 177 I. Ludwigsburg, in November 1990Hofer tufts 4485 to 4499, received from the State Archives Sigmaringen with access 2000/79, were incorporated into the holdings in July 2009. Retroconversion: This finding aid book is a repertory that was previously only available in handwritten or typewritten form and was converted into a database-supported and thus online-capable format according to a procedure developed by the "Retroconversion Working Group in the Ludwigsburg State Archives". This can lead to a certain discrepancy between the modern external appearance and the partly outdated design and formulation of the title recordings. Corrections, deletions and additions were verified and incorporated.

1. history of authorities: The Technical State Office existed as the technical higher authority for the Land of Württemberg from 1 November 1933 to 31 December 1952. it had been established instead of the dissolved Department for Road and Water Construction at the Ministry of the Interior and the dissolved Department for Field Cleaning at the Central Office for Agriculture (Ordinance of the Ministry of State of 12 October 1933 Regbl. p. 396). The State Technical Office initially united all areas of state civil engineering and was responsible not only for road construction and hydraulic engineering but also for cultural construction, field cleaning and surveying. In the course of its almost 20 years of existence, the range of tasks and responsibilities changed. In particular, the separation of the field cleaning and cultural construction divisions in 1938 and the takeover of the administration of the motorways in 1945 should be mentioned here. The Ludwigsburg palace was the official seat throughout. After 1945, further offices were rented in Stuttgart. The heads of the authorities were the presidents Bauder (1933-1945), Rudolf Grossjohann (1945-1950) and Kellermann (1950-1952).1933-1937The State Technical Office was subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior, but also carried out tasks from the business area of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. It dealt with all matters of road construction and hydraulic engineering in Württemberg, in particular with the administration of the state funds provided for this purpose, and was responsible for Land Roads I and II. This responsibility was extended in October 1935 by the Inspector General for German Roads to include road construction in Hohenzollern.In the field of hydraulic engineering, the State Office was in charge of the construction and maintenance of the river sections to be maintained by the state on the Iller, Danube, Argen and Neckar, and also had advisory functions in river improvements and waterworks facilities, the use of hydropower, water supply and sewage disposal (sewerage systems, sewage treatment) by municipalities and official bodies, as well as advice in the field of water science (water level monitoring and flood service).In addition, it provided technical advice on general matters of road construction, road police and motor vehicle traffic, the approval of trams and motor vehicle lines (bus lines) and technical supervision of private railways. In the Ministry of Economic Affairs' area of responsibility, the State Technical Office dealt with cultural construction and field cleaning and formed its own "Department for Soil Improvement".In the case of field cleaning, it was particularly responsible for supervising the technical preparatory work and its execution, in the case of cultural construction, it promoted all measures for technical soil improvement (irrigation and drainage, road construction), etc. To carry out its tasks, it was directly subordinated to the higher offices, the road and hydraulic engineering offices, the cultural construction offices (renamed in 1939 to water management offices) and the surveying offices for field cleaning (later field and land consolidation offices).1938-1945On 1 January 1938, responsibility for field cleaning ("reallocation") and cultural construction was transferred to the Ministry of Economic Affairs - Department of Agriculture (Decree of the State Ministry of 10 February 1938 Regbl. p. 129). This department for agriculture was thus directly subordinated to the cultural construction offices and field cleaning offices, and the regional office retained its above-mentioned tasks in road construction and hydraulic engineering. While the tasks of road construction remained subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior, the tasks of hydraulic engineering were subordinated to the Ministry of Economy. The new division of Württemberg in 1938 was accompanied by a new division of the administrative districts (Ordinance of the State Ministry of 19.7.1938 Regbl. p. 229). The previous road and hydraulic engineering offices, field cleaning offices and cultural building offices were abolished and a new road and hydraulic engineering office, field cleaning office and cultural building office were established, whose official seat and responsibility was determined as follows: 1. Künzelsau for the districts Künzelsau and Mergentheim 2. Hall for the districts Hall and Crailsheim 3. Heilbronn for the city and district Heilbronn and district Öhringen 4. Besigheim for the districts of Ludwigsburg, Vaihingen and Leonberg 5 Schorndorf for the districts of Backnang, Waiblingen and Gmünd 6 Ellwangen for the districts of Aalen and Heidenheim 7 Herrenberg for the districts of Calw and Böblingen (dissolved in 1945) 8 Kirchheim for the district of Stuttgart and the districts of Esslingen and Nürtingen 9 Geislingen for the district of Ulm and the district of Göppingen10. Freudenstadt for the districts of Freudenstadt and Horb11. Rottenburg for the districts of Reutlingen and Tübingen12. Ehingen for the districts of Ehingen and Münsingen13. Rottweil for the districts of Rottweil, Balingen and Tuttlingen14. Riedlingen for the districts of Biberach and Saulgau15. Ravensburg for the districts of Ravensburg, Friedrichshafen and Wangen.1945-1952After the occupation of the country, the local American military authority in Ludwigsburg ordered the resumption of the activities of the Technical State Office on June 5, 1945. on the instructions of the military government formed in Stuttgart in August 1945 for the American occupied zone of North Württemberg and North Baden, the Technical State Office was to give priority to the restoration of the roads damaged by the war and of the bridges which had been destroyed for the most part.As a new task, he was assigned the administration of the motorways in North Württemberg and North Baden, since the occupying power attached particular importance to the rapid repair of these important long-distance arteries. In the course of this business growth, it set up its own "Motorways Stuttgart Department", which managed the north Württemberg and north Baden motorway sections instead of the highest construction management of the Reichsautobahnen Stuttgart (for North Württemberg) and the highest construction management of the Reichsautobahnen Frankfurt (for North Baden). For the motorways, too, the emphasis was on repair work and the repair of war damage and the reconstruction of bridges. For its tasks, the State Technical Office was responsible: the Motorways Department with its headquarters in Stuttgart and eight road and hydraulic engineering offices with its headquarters in Besigheim, Ellwangen, Geislingen, Hall, Heilbronn, Kirchheim, Künzelsau and Schorndorf. With the establishment of a special office as the National Technical Office for the French Zone in Rottenburg, to which the road and hydraulic engineering offices located in the French Zone were assigned, the National Technical Office initially attempted to maintain a joint administration. In 1946, however, the state offices were separated and the Südwürttembergische Landesamt was integrated into the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Württemberg-Hohenzollern as an independent Department VI (Road and Hydraulic Engineering), with the relocation of its headquarters to Tübingen. The Federation became the owner of the former Reichsautobahnen and Reichsstraßen, now called Bundesstraßen des Fernverkehrs, which were administered by the Länder on behalf of the Federation. In Württemberg-Baden the Technical State Office carried out the order administration for the federal motorways, for the federal roads only in the area of the state district Württemberg. In the area of public water supply and sewage disposal there were few changes (decree of the Ministry of the Interior of 18.5.1949 Official Gazette IM p. 71). Essentially, it was determined that the State Technical Office is entitled to examine all drafts for water supply systems with regard to water management and hygiene and to advise the municipalities and special-purpose associations on water supply and sewage disposal, in special cases to take over draft processing and site management and to process the applications for state contributions. Most of his duties were transferred to the Regierungspräsidium Nordwürttemberg and the newly established Autobahnamt. 2nd inventory history and processing report: The files of the Technical State Office from the years 1811-1964 which are indexed in the present find book originate from different inventories and file deliveries and were formed to a new inventory with the inventory signature E 168. the newly formed inventory consists mainly of the documents of the now dissolved inventories EL 72/1 and EL 72/2 Technical State Office Ludwigsburg, which were received in 1963 and 1972 from the Regional Council North Württemberg - Department of Road Construction and in 1986 from the Ministry of the Interior (files on motorways). In addition, the inventory contains the documents on sewage disposal and water supply from the dissolved inventory E 165 c Bauamt für Wasserversorgung, which were created after 1933. The files from the holdings E 166 Ministerial Department for Road and Hydraulic Engineering, EL 20/4 Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart - Straßenwesen und Verkehr as well as EL 74 Autobahnamt Baden-Württemberg were also classified because of their duration. To a lesser extent, previously unrecorded files of provenance from the Technical State Office as well as a file submission received in 1993 from the General State Archive Karlsruhe (see Chapter 4) have been integrated into the present inventory.in some cases, file units have been separated, assigned by provenance and this has been identified by inserted reference sheets.the documents of the Technical State Office united in this way mainly document its diverse tasks in the fields of road construction, hydraulic engineering and motorways. Only a few files shed light on the tasks in the field of cultural construction (see Chapter 4). the most extensive part of the written material, in addition to the central administrative files, consists of the documents of the road and hydraulic engineering offices of northern and southern Württemberg. The structure of the building is based on the new division of the building authority districts in 1938. The road construction files within the administrative districts are classified according to Reich roads, country roads of the first order, country roads of the second order. The files were drawn up by interns and temporary employees within the framework of AB measures under the guidance of Dr. Gerhard Taddey, Matthias Grotz and Gabriele Benning, who also took over the consolidation of the partial holdings, structuring and final editing. The packaging was provided by Mr. Siegfried Schirm, the computer-supported fair copy by Mrs. Hildegard Aufderklamm. 1214 tufts with a total circumference of 32.5 metres were in stock.

1. 1 The Dukes of Urach Counts of Württemberg: The Dukes of Urach Counts of Württemberg are a branch line of the House of Württemberg. In 1800 the fourth son of Duke Friedrich Eugen von Württemberg, Duke Wilhelm von Württemberg, married a court lady of his mother: twenty-three-year-old Wilhelmine von Tunderfeld-Rhodis. According to the house laws, this marriage with a woman who did not come from the high nobility was uneven; Duke Wilhelm therefore renounced the succession to the throne for his descendants on August 1, 1801. On 20 April 1801 the reigning Duke Friedrich, Duke Wilhelm's eldest brother, had already recognised the marriage as a full marriage to the right hand and determined that the descendants of Duke Wilhelm should bear the name Counts of Württemberg. Thus a new branch line of the House of Württemberg was created. The second son, Count Wilhelm, who also bore the name Wilhelm, was raised to the rank of first Duke of Urach by King Karl in 1867. The new ducal dignity was hereditary in the male tribe; the corresponding elevation of the younger children to the princedom was to underline the close connection of the branch line with the main line and determine its rank immediately after the royal house before all other class masters of the kingdom. Through the conversion of Wilhelm I to the Catholic denomination of his wife and children in 1862, the House of Urach became a consciously Catholic dynasty of princes from the very beginning. With the construction of the Lichtenstein Castle on the Albrand above the Echaztal in 1840/41, the Duke, who died in 1869, set himself a lasting monument. All further details about the House of Urach and its individual members can be found in the article by Wolfgang Schmierer, Die Seitenlinie der Herzöge von Urach (since 1867). In: The House of Württemberg - a biographical encyclopedia. Edited by Sönke Lorenz, Dieter Mertens and Volker Press. Stuttgart, Berlin, Cologne 1997 pp. 376 - 398. The genealogy reproduced after the preface is also taken from this. 2.1 The total holdings of the Archives of Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg: The holdings listed here, the estate of Wilhelm II Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg, represent part of the total archives of the family. This was kept at Schloss Lichtenstein until 1987. Due to a deposit agreement between H.S.H. Karl Anselm Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg as representative of the Herzog family of Urach Count of Württemberg and the State of Baden-Württemberg, represented by the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart, dated 14 July / 5 August 1987, it has been deposited in the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart since then. Because of their literary references, parts of the documents of Wilhelm I and Count Alexander were simultaneously handed over to the German Literature Archive in Marbach, where they are stored under the signature D 88.6. The archive was completely unsorted when it was transferred to the Main State Archives. Nor were there any finding aids that could have been reused. Only a part of the documents is listed in a directory of 1927/28, which was included in the delivery; in addition, the order on which this directory is based was fundamentally destroyed at an unknown time. A large part of the material was unpacked or stored in open cartons. In 1995, Archive Director Dr. Wolfgang Schmierer carried out an initial inspection, tidying and preliminary packaging of the material. He subdivided the entire collection into partial collections, to which he assigned signatures corresponding to the numbering of the family members in his article on the Herzog von Urach Graf von Württemberg family, which was written parallel to the work on order. The GU 1 et seq. sub-funds to be structured in more detail comprise documents on real estate and asset management. The GU 100 sub-collection contains foreign archives and collections. The GU 101 - 134 partial holdings were created as personal estates of individual family members and GU 201 - 203 of related parties. Some overlaps were inevitable. If documents were kept throughout the period of activity of a single duke, they were assigned to the signatures GU 1 et seq. in the order An overview of the current status of the subdivision into partial holdings can be found below. It is possible that the structure will be modified in the course of further development work. An impressive record of Wolfgang Schmierer's work from February 10, 1995 to March 21, 1996 (Kanzleiakten 7511.5-2-D.1: Erschließung des Archivs der Herzöge von Urach) provides information on the orderly work carried out by Wolfgang Schmierer. 2.2 The subportfolio GU 117: The following subportfolio GU 117 Herzog Wilhelm II. von Urach comprises documents, which Wolfgang Schmierer has formed in the course of his order work Wolfgang Schmierers. Duke Wilhelm II (1864 - 1928) was born as the first son of Wilhelm I and his second wife Princess Florestine of Monaco in Monaco and already at the age of five the second Duke of Urach. He entered the traditional military career and was commander general of the Generalkommandos z.b.V. in the First World War. No. 64 and General of the Cavalry. In 1927 the volume Die 26. Infanterie-Division im Weltkrieg 1914 - 1918, Teil I 1914 -1915, edited by him, appeared in the series Württembergs Heer im Weltkrieg. Wilhelm II. ran several times for a vacant throne: 1910 for Monaco, 1913 for the new Kingdom of Albania, in the war for Poland and for a Grand Duchy of Alsace-Lorraine and 1918 for the planned Kingdom of Lithuania. Arnold Zweig used the episode of his election as King of Lithuania, in which he was given the name Mindaugas II, in his 1937 novel Einsetzung eines Königs. In 1922 Wilhelm, who devoted himself to scientific activities after the war, received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Tübingen with a dissertation on the urban geography of Reutlingen. Wilhelm II married Amalie Herzogin in Bavaria in 1892 (1865 - 1912). The marriage produced four sons (Wilhelm III, Karl Gero, Albrecht, Eberhard) and five daughters (Maria Gabriela, Elisabeth, Carola Hilda, Margarethe, Mechthilde). In his second marriage he married Wiltrud, née Princess of Bavaria, in 1924, and since the partial holdings of Duke Wilhelm II are particularly extensive and of particular importance in many respects (applications for the throne, constitutional status of the House of Urach, World War I), Wolfgang Schmierer, in agreement with the Landesarchivdirektion Baden-Württemberg, made the decision to place his indexing at the beginning of the indexing of the entire holdings and to apply for third-party funding. Within the framework of a project of the Stiftung Kulturgut Baden-Württemberg, which we would like to take this opportunity to thank sincerely for its support, the temporary employee Hansjörg Oswald was able to demetalise, open up and package GU 117 in the period from November 1995 to July 1997. Wolfgang Schmierer was personally responsible for the support. Due to the serious illness, which he finally succumbed to on 7 October 1997, Wolfgang Schmierer was unable to complete the classification and final editing of the title recordings, which he had largely worked on. This was done by the undersigned in May 2000 with the support of Katharina Ernst, a trainee archivist. At the highest level, the holdings are divided into civil and military documents. The sequence of title recordings within the individual items corresponds to the chronology. This also applies to correspondence files; since these have been kept very differently over the years, they have not been formed into series. After development and packaging, the GU 117 subportfolio comprises 1354 tufts and volumes totalling 36.4 linear metres with a duration of 1864 to 1929. The use by third parties is regulated as follows in the Depositalvertrag: The consent of the head of the Herzog von Urach Graf von Württemberg family must be obtained before the archive can be used by third parties. Conditions may be imposed on consent. If consent is not refused or restricted, the management of the Main State Archives - within the framework of the regulations for use of the state archives of Baden-Württemberg - regulates the use. In any case the users are to be obligated to respect the personal rights. Stuttgart, 20 June 2000Dr. Robert Kretzschmar Ltd. Archive Director

Biography: Wilhelm (III.) Prince von Urach was born on 27 September 1897 in Stuttgart as the son of Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg and the Amalie Duchess of Urach Countess of Württemberg née Duchess of Württemberg in Bavaria. He first attended the Hayersche Knabeninstitut in Stuttgart and from 1908 the Karlsgymnasium in Stuttgart, where he graduated from high school in 1914. On 3 August 1914 he was drafted into the Field Artillery Regiment No. 13 King Karl. Already on 18 August 1914 he was appointed lieutenant. During the First World War Wilhelm Fürst von Urach served mainly in the Reserve Field Artillery Regiment No. 26, in the General Command Carpathian Corps (IV. Reserve Corps) and in the Württemberg Reichswehr-Schützen Regiment 25 and was deployed in France, Poland, Flanders, Serbia, the Carpathians and in Bukovina. Already in 1916 Wilhelm Fürst von Urach - probably at the request of his father - enrolled as a war student in law at the University of Tübingen. His real interest, however, was in technology and engineering. Wilhelm Fürst von Urach therefore studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Stuttgart from 1919 to 1922. After his studies he worked for the automobile companies Steiger in Burgrieden near Laupheim, Cockerell in Munich and Bugatti in Molsheim/Elsass. In 1927 he moved to Daimler-Benz. There he initially worked as a designer in Untertürkheim. From 1933 he belonged to the management secretariat. In 1937 he was appointed chief engineer. During the Second World War, he was the industrial representative responsible for the technical management of the Renault automobile plant in occupied France. 1945 Wilhelm Fürst von Urach returned to the management secretariat of Daimler-Benz. From 1946 to 1950 he was in charge of the Untertürkheim car test management. In 1954, Wilhelm Fürst von Urach was granted power of attorney. Wilhelm Fürst von Urach married Elisabeth Theurer on 19 June 1928 against the resistance of his father. She was the daughter of Richard Theurer, General Manager of G. Siegle.
