The present estate of Friedrich Theodor Althoff (1839-1908), Prussian Ministerial Director in the Ministry of Culture, was given to the Prussian Secret State Archives in 1921 as a gift from the widow Marie Althoff. In 1924, 1935, 1936, 1951, 1958 and 2000 further smaller parts of the estate were transferred to the (Prussian) Secret State Archives (PK). The estate contains primarily personnel documents, comprehensive reference files from official activities, extensive official correspondence with a large number of partners, newspapers and newspaper clippings and a small partial estate of the widow Marie Althoff, mainly with her correspondence after 1908 The correspondence was filed by Althoff himself according to two types, alphabetically according to the names and professions of the senders, so that both groups (by database query) are to be searched. An additional peculiarity is that about 500 letters are enclosed with other correspondences, namely when the letter writers mainly expressed themselves about other, third parties. In these cases, the letters were not filed under the senders, but under the names of those about whom they were written. Modern distortion maintains this order, but ejects the names concerned in the respective distortion titles. (Example VI HA, Nl F. T. Althoff, No. 805 alphabetical correspondence "Kohl - Koppy" also contains in "Kollmann, Julius, Basel, 1887 - 1888 (3)" a letter by Gustav v. Schmoller about Julius Kollmann from 1884). In the course of entering the database, the individual correspondence partners in the correspondence volumes were added to the contents notes using the register. The number in brackets indicates the number of letters. For the former divisions A I and A II (today No. 1-655) there is a separate detailed analysis volume which should be consulted during research. Its contents are not part of the database, as they would have gone beyond its scope. For the complete technical processing of the magazine, which took place in 2012, the discount was re-signed according to serial numbers for the sake of simplicity. A corresponding concordance can be found at the end of the search. Distortion began in 1921 by Ludwig Dehio. Mrs. Krähe created the list of letter correspondents. In 1939 G. Wentz dispersed the correspondence. In the years 1960-1962 Renate Endler recorded the estate again, including a revision. From 1975-1976 a further revision was carried out by Holger Schenk. The following files were already missing when the still valid find book from the 1960s was compiled: A I No. 18 Academic Freedom, 1905 A I I No. 144 Criminalist Seminar, Halle, 1885 - 1896 A II No. 98 Eduard Simon, 1906-08 B No. 7 Baltzer B No. 21 Cantor B No. 28[Content unknown] B No. 69 Hermite B No. 137 Bd. 2 Netto B No. 168 Bd. 2 Schottki Bei B No. 48 Frobenius, B No. 65 Heffter, B No. 70 Heffner und B No. 169 Sturm missing the main part. The old numbers B No. 98, B No. 106 and B No. 167 are also missing, according to remarks in the find book; in the group "Correspondence Althoff's correspondence sorted by sender's profession", which is very intensively indexed, the contents of the missing pieces have also been included in the database, since their contents may be of partial interest, even if the individual letters no longer exist. These letters then bear the addition"(missing)". The following autograph of Althoff is also kept in the "Small Acquisitions" collection of the Geheimes Staatsarchiv PK: I. HA Rep. 94 Small acquisitions, No. 1711 Friedrich Althoff to an unknown person: Transmission of 4 facsimile Primaner essays of the Joachimsthalschen Gymnasium in Berlin from 1901 on the topic "The Beinstellung der Monmämäler in der Siegesallee" with Marginalien Kaiser Wilhelm II, The database was entered by Mrs. Pistiolis, the database correction, determination and addition of the runtimes on the basis of the contained notes and preparation of the foreword was done by the undersigned. With the introduction of the new tectonics in the GStA PK, the estate of Friedrich Theodor Althoff, formerly headed as I. Department Rep. 92, was incorporated into the newly formed VI. Department of Family Archives and Bequests in 2001. According to the Internet database "Kalliope, Verbundsystem Nachlässe und Autographen der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin", another extensive part of the manuscript section of the Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz is located. This section contains 23 boxes with correspondence, documents, manuscripts, photos, prints and the death mask. Further correspondence of Althoff (312 sheets) is kept in the document collection Darmstaedter (2c 1890) of the Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz.

The tradition of provincial self-government, which dates back to 1826, the year in which the first Rhineland Provincial Council was convened (29 October 1826), lies at the beginning of the process at the end of which - through the gradual development and differentiation of an administration of tasks in the social, transport, cultural, health and welfare sectors, especially since the last third of the 19th century - the Rhineland Provincial Council and finally the Rhineland Regional Council stand. The area of responsibility of the Rhenish provincial administration was the Prussian province "Rheinprovinz", i.e. an administrative unit extending from the lower Lower Rhine to the Saarland. The central political organ of provincial self-government, and thus directly responsible for the nature and intensity of the performance of the assigned tasks, was the Rheinische Provinziallandtag, which met regularly every two years from 1826 until its compulsory abolition by the National Socialists in 1933. As a political organ in which deputies elected according to certain rules were sent, this Landtag was a sui generis institute of great importance for the implementation of municipal and state policy in the Rhineland. Provincial Landtag and Provincial AdministrationThe provincial self-government of the Rhine Province was brought into being by a "Law on the Arrangement of Provincial Estates in the Rhine Provinces" of 27 March 1824 in order to implement the "Law on the Arrangement of Provincial Estates" enacted on 5 June 1823. The provisions of this law formed the external framework for the activity of provincial self-government, in so far as it was to be carried out by its highest body, the Provincial Council, until the entry into force of the new Provincial Code in 1888, when the first Provincial Council was inaugurated on 29 October 1826. Characteristic was a "representation of the people" in four stands: The status of the "princes" ("born" members from five families of former lords of the profession directly of the Reich), the "knighthood" (25 deputies elected by the owners of the properties entered in the knighthood register), the status of the cities (25 deputies) and the status of the rural communities (25 deputies). The prerequisite for active and passive voting rights was real property with a relatively high real estate tax payment. 54 representatives of the rural landed property stood thus opposite 25 city dwellers, nobility and landed property were clearly privileged. With the overview over the activity of the provincial landed property days is to be distinguished the time to approximately 1850 and the later time. In the first phase, the Rheinische Provinziallandtag devoted itself in particular to the task of bringing the wishes of the population to bear on the government. The true aims and desires of the Diet and the Province it represented lay in the political and economic fields and were clearly reflected in the exercise of the right to petition, also conferred by the 1823 Law. Requests and complaints in the interest of the entire province could be submitted by the estates to the king and were subjected to an examination. It was not until the early 1850s that the stream of petitions ebbed away. As a result, those tasks which were later considered to be the subject of self-administration of the province were completely retired during this period. Its powers, however, apart from the competence to take decisions in municipal matters, were only advisory in nature, especially since the choice of the drafts to be submitted to the Provincial Council was left to the government. The law of 1823 had declared the Provincial Parliament to be the legal organ, especially for those bills which concerned the province alone. In the period from 1826 to 1845, for example, the province had before it draft laws whose advice clearly revealed the actual wishes and interests of the narrower region: city and rural community regulations, district and provincial regulations, regulations on the redemption of real burdens, community divisions and mergers, receiving waters, hunting, fishing, forestry, electricity and dyke regulations, servitude, mortgages, laws and regulations on the administration of justice. In the same way, the 1823 Law intended to protect the provinces' individual character against the unwelcome effects of general laws, in so far as, until the meeting of general assemblies of estates, draft laws on changes in personal and property rights and taxes could be referred to the Provincial Councils for consultation. Thus, the subject of consultation was also the bourgeois conditions of the Jews, land tax, class tax, trade tax, the obligation to care for the poor and the formation of rural poor associations, trade police, marriage legislation, distribution of the quartering burdens. However, the choice of the drafts to be submitted to the Landtag was left to the government alone. In this sense, independent decision-making and administration in municipal affairs were not initially the preserve of the estates. Rather, their task can be characterized as that of advising and modestly participating in the administration of the so-called "provincial institutes", which were, however, regarded as state institutions and administered by the state organs. In these first decades of the Provincial Assembly's work, self-administration in the later sense could not develop, primarily because there was no self-administration body at all outside the Assembly. In 1841 the state government tried to remedy this deficiency by electing a committee of estates for those affairs which were to be carried out outside the Landtag. Since 1842, at the end of the session of the Diet, which was chaired by a Diet marshal, a "Ständischer Ausschuss" (Ständischer Ausschuss) was left to deal with the day-to-day running of the business, which mainly resulted from participation in the administration of the provincial institutes. The committee did not have much influence. As soon as politics disappeared in the 1850s from the negotiations of the provincial parliament, the preoccupation with the affairs of self-administration took a tremendous upswing. The development towards local self-government began with power, both on the material side by extending the tasks and on the formal side by achieving its own provincial administration, separate from the state administration, in an effort to direct the activity of the estates towards the material improvement of the province, the government extended the working area of the Diet from session to session. From the outset, the following had been part of the object of the estate's activities: the Siegburg mental asylum, the Brauweiler labour institution, the country poor house in Trier, the midwifery school in Cologne. Mixed commissions had been set up to manage these institutions, of which four members were elected by the Provincial Council and two were appointed by the Government. The chairman of these commissions was appointed by the government, which also had the casting vote. In 1838, the government allowed the permanent participation of the commissioners of the estates in the administration of the district roads. Until 1851 the Provinzial-Feuersozietät and the cooperation with the Staats- und Bezirksstraßenverwaltung were added, in 1854 the Taubstummenwesen and the Provinzial-Hilfskasse, until 1862 still the beginnings of the Blindenfürsorge. The first decisive step towards provincial self-government was the farewell to the 18th Provincial Assembly on 11 March 1868, which granted the estates the requested self-government of the insane and nursing homes. After the provinces newly created in 1866 had been granted extensive self-government with the approval of grants, the provincial states of the Rhineland were also granted self-government of the provincial institutes at the request of the provincial councils by farewell to the Landtag on 8 June 1871.A "Regulativ für die Organisation der Organisation der Verwaltung des provinzialständischen Vermögen und der provinzialständischen Anstalten" (Regulatory for the Organisation of the Administration of Provincial Property and Provincial Institutions) submitted by the Commissioner of the Landtag and which came into force on 1 January 1873 led to the election on 8 July 1871 of a Provincial Administrative Council of 15 members to manage the Provincial Businesses, which was constituted on 1 December 1872. With the election of Baron Hugo von Landsberg as Provincial Director on September 8, 1875, the Provincial Administration was for the first time also given a senior civil servant, to whom other senior civil servants ("Provincial Councillors") for the individual business areas were soon subordinated. This constitutive phase of the administrative development was completed in 1877. The administration itself had been transferred from Koblenz to Düsseldorf on 1 July 1873, where the Provinziallandtag also met from its beginnings. In 1881, the newly built "Ständehaus" (House of Estates) was used as the seat of the administration, and the new self-government began immediately after its establishment in 1871, with the takeover of the estates previously administered by the state authorities. It began with the establishment of the rural poor system on the basis of the law of 6 June 1870 and with the implementation of the resolutions adopted by the Provincial Council in 1868 concerning the establishment of five new mental homes in the Rhine Province. On January 1, 1873, the midwifery school in Cologne, the working school in Brauweiler and the insane asylum in Siegburg were founded, on February 1, 1873, the Rheinische Provinzial-Feuer-Sozietät was founded, on March 1, 1873, the Rheinische Provinzial-Hilfskasse and the Meliorationsfonds were founded, on November 1, 1873, the Provinzial-Blindenanstalt zu Düren was founded, and on November 1, 1873, the first half of the year, the first half of the year, the second half of the year, the first half of the year, the first half of the year, the first half of the year, the first half of the year, the first half of the year, and the first half of the year, the first half of the year, the first half of the year, the first half of the year, were founded. The donation laws of 30 April 1873 and 8 July 1875 transferred large new tasks to the provincial self-administration by transfer of appropriate state pensions. The sole competence of the provincial administration was transferred to:1) Arbeitsanstalt Brauweiler 01.01.18732) Hebammenlehranstalt Köln 01.01.18733) Provinzial-Irren-Heil- und Pflegeanstalten 01.01.18734) Rhein.

The development of the Provinzial-Hilfskasse into an agricultural credit institution in 1882 and its transformation into the Landesbank der Rheinprovinz in 1888 were of the greatest importance. 1823's provincial constitution was put on a completely new footing by the enactment of the Provinzialordnung of 29 June 1875 and its introduction into the Rheinprovinz by the law of 1 June 1887. The provinces as municipal associations were equipped with an extensive self-administration of their own affairs. The first provincial parliament elected according to the new foundations and responsibilities was the 34th in 1888, so that we are now entering a new era of provincial self-government and political representation. This epoch ends with the 58th Provinziallandtag in 1918.literature:- Johannes Horion: Die Entwicklung der provinziellen Selbstverwaltung der Rheinprovinz, in: Ders.

It includes not least the tradition from the phase of the old provincial estates 1826-1871, which had already been processed by an expert in 1856: On July 1, 1856, Lacomblet, a member of the Landtag who was in charge of supervision, was able to inform the Chief President of the Rhine Province that "the arranging and repertory of the Landständisches Archiv" and the library had been carried out under his direction by the "archive helper" Dr. Woldemar Harless (1828-1902). Seven boxes of files had been brought by ship from Koblenz to Düsseldorf at the beginning of 1855. In addition to these holdings, which grew routinely in the following years parallel to the respective Provinziallandtage, the "Archive of Provincial Estates" received the records of the expanding municipal association administration after 1871 and 1887 respectively, whose registry scheme underwent many changes and in particular around 1924 underwent a far-reaching renaming of the departments. The files, which became ready for archiving after the Harless period, were merged without order and without a finding aid book and soon formed an unmissable mess. Hand in hand with the expansion of the premises, in which the initiative of the provincial governor Heinz Haake (1933-1945) and the First Provincial Councillor Dr. Wilhelm Kitz (1933-1945) had a large part to play, went the establishment of a real "Archive of Provincial Administration" in the Düsseldorf Landeshaus, i.e. a professional administration of the files. Harless's order had only covered the older files, and since then there had been repeated deliveries of files to the provincial administration when new subjects previously dealt with by other authorities were transferred to it. Dr. Otto-Wilhelm Pansch was now entrusted with the administration of the archive by the governor of the state. At the end of the 1930s, Pansch began to record the archive records stored in the Landeshaus, preserving as far as possible the registry order available at the time of delivery. Due to the repeated relocation of the archive due to the war, the order of the Provinzialarchiv was completely destroyed when it was transferred to the Staatsarchiv Düsseldorf in 1951. Dr. Dahm set up the inventory, restoring the internal order as it emerged from Pansch's signatures, the last uniform scheme. Pansch had not fully mastered the unification of the various deliveries in a clear sequence of departments, but his order was taken as the basis for the search book which was then drawn up in order to avoid confusion due to its proximity to the registry. The older signatures were also recorded. At the end of 1956, Dr. Oediger was able to inform the Ministry of Culture on behalf of the State Archives that the finding aid book for the files of the former Rhenish provincial administration, which had been completed at the beginning of the year, had been extended by the order and recording of a new accession of about 2000 file units. Copies of the three-volume find book "Provinzialverband des prußischen Rheinprovinz 1824-1945" should be available in January 1957. On 4 November 1960, the return of the Provincial Administration Archive from the Düsseldorf State Archive to the Landeshaus in Cologne, where two archive rooms had been equipped with archive shelves, was completed. Since 1986, the collection has represented the oldest part of the tradition in the archives of the Landschaftsverband Rheinland in Pulheim-Brauweiler.the classification of the finding aid bookThe tradition recorded here is, according to what has been said so far, characterised by three indexing actions: First of all, Harless classified the documents rather as registered documents between 1856 and 1866, primarily by the Provinziallandtage or the objects negotiated there, then Pansch classified them in the late 1930s, and finally, in the second half of the 1950s, the documents were registered in the Hauptstaatsarchiv Düsseldorf. While Pansch processed the volumes of documents already recorded by Harless, plus the written material accumulated in the following decades, the Düsseldorf indexing meant above all a reorganization and indexing of the inventory, which had frequently been moved by war and the post-war period, albeit by taking over the title recordings formulated by Pansch of his time. The result, namely a three-volume Düsseldorfer find book, formed the basis for all searches on this archive stock up to the recent past. Samples in the archive of the LVR made however only too soon clear that one could indeed work with this indexing, proved however at the same time that a not insignificant correction need existed both regarding the contents of the files and on the indicated running times. A whole series of titles proved to be pure "file cover distortion" without concrete examination of whether the contents of the file actually corresponded to the description. In fact, a number of contradictions emerged. The oldest layer of the "Archive of Provincial Estates", documents from the period from the First Provincial Landtag in 1826 to the fundamental reorganization of the Provincial Administration in 1888, was therefore subjected to a new indexing. This distortion was done by reconstructing the old structure scheme of Harless, i.e. according to the contemporary systematic classification. In addition, Pansch's old signature layer was also verified in the corresponding section. The title recording was based on the original version as far as possible, but was consistently reformulated if corrections or additions were required. It is also new that for the first time all printed matter, publications, handwritten copies of letters, etc. included in the files have been consistently listed in the "Containält-Vermerken", with the sole exception of the printed minutes of meetings, which have all been published in the corresponding series.Ä. - and thus the following archive numbers were deleted (in brackets the archive numbers containing the same letters): 185 (= 184), 337 (= 289), 357 (= 356), 362 (= 361), 381 (= 380), 400 (= 399), 406 (= 405), 438 (= 437), 459 (= 458), 551 (= 550), 591 (= 590), 603 (= 604), 795 (= 794), 856 (= 855), 1075 (= 1074), 1116 (= 1115), 1216 (= 1215).Wilhelm Kisky later heavily criticized the distortion works of Harless: The order in the finding aid book completed in 1856 was "not exactly very clear and concise", and the impractical and unclear signing of the volumes had contributed significantly to the fact that the original order was destroyed in later years. Harless' overview provided for eleven sections (I Ständische Verfassung, II Ständische Verhandlungen/Provinziallandtag, III Allgemeine Staatsverfassung und Polizei, IV Justizwesen, V Finanzsachen, VI Kirche, Kunst und Unterrichtswesen, VII Kreis- und Kommunalangelegenheiten, VIII Bezirksstraßen-Angelegenheiten, IX Handel, Gewerbe, Industrie, X Landwirtschaft, XI Provinzial-Institute). In the old structure, these departments were again subdivided into "sections", "compartments" and "numbers", which were also reflected in the corresponding file numbers. The files had been consecutively numbered without regard to these departments, which made it very difficult to insert supplements, which Harless himself had to do in large numbers. Regardless of this objection, which is not important for the current distortion - the LVR archive itself has retained the practice of the "numeri currentes" - the original system offered the possibility of clearly assigning almost all files to the corresponding headings. A supplement to the classification is the relatively small group "Sonderüberlieferung - Sekrete Akten des Landtagsmarschalls" ("Special traditions - secretions of the state parliament marshal"), which was found in the context of the oldest layer of traditions, but outside the eleven departments mentioned.The tradition "Archiv der Provinzialstände der Rheinprovinz 1826-1888" thus has the following classification structure:00 00 Special tradition00 01 'Sekrete Akten' des Landtagsmarschalls01 00 Ständische Verfassung01 01 Election regulations01 02 Landtagsfähige Güter01 03 Stand der Städte (Dritter und Vierter Stand)01 04 Ständische Rechte und Pflichten01 05 Ständischer Haushalt02 00 Ständische Verhandlungen im Allgemeinen02 01 Opening and general course of negotiations02 02 Minutes of meetings03 00 Allgemeine Staatsverfassung und Polizei03 01 Reichsstände03 02 Pressfreiheit03 03 Bundesgericht03 04 Wahlen zur Zweiten Kammer03 05 Kreis-.., District and Provincial Regulations03 06 Town and Municipality Regulations03 07 Civil Relations03 08 Immigration03 09 Poor Persons03 10 Police03 11 Moral and Security Police03 12 Gesinde-Polizei03 13 Fire and Construction Police03 14 River and Bank Police03 15 Field and River Police Forest and Hunting Police03 16 Military Affairs03 17 State Officials and Employees03 18 Statistics of the Rhine Province04 00 Judiciary04 01 Administration of Justice04 02 Legal Constitution04 03 Rheinischer Appellhof04 04 Regional and District Courts04 05 Peace Courts and Factory Courts04 06 Commercial Courts and Commercial Law04 07 Notaries04 08 Mortgage Courts04 09 Civil Law Relations04 10 Legal Relationships of Land Ownership04 11 Forestry and Forestry Hunting and grazing permits04 12 Criminal legislation05 00 Financial matters05 01 State debts and treasury, claims, funds05 02 Taxation in general05 03 Property tax and cadastre05 04 Class tax, Building tax05 05 Income tax05 06 Trade tax05 07 Customs duties05 08 Brewing malt tax05 09 Spirits tax05 10 Wine and must tax05 11 Milling and slaughter tax05 12 Stamp tax05 13 Salt tax05 14 House tax05 15 Lotteries05 16 Coin and cash system06 00 Church, Art and Education06 01 Church Constitution06 02 Church Assets and Cultural Costs06 03 Denominational Affairs06 04 Universities and Schools06 05 Deaf and Mute Education06 06 Medical Affairs06 07 Veterinary Affairs06 08 Pharmacies06 09 Art Monuments06 10 Scientific Collections07 00 County and Municipal Affairs07 01 County and Municipal Affairs07 01 County and Municipal Affairs06 06 06 University and Schools06 05 and municipal affairs in general07 02 county councils and mayors07 03 municipal taxes08 00 district road affairs08 01 district roads in general08 02 district road construction fund08 03 state roads of the Rhine province08 04 left Rhine district road system08 05 right Rhine district road system09 00 trade, Trade and agriculture09 01 Trade and commerce in general09 02 Guilds, guilds, Freedom of trade09 03 Trade and commerce in particular09 04 Protection and promotion of industry09 05 Mines09 06 Post and railways10 00 Agriculture10 01 Arable farming and land cultivation10 02 Livestock10 03 Viticulture11 00 Provincial institutes11 01 Provincial institutes in general11 02 Provincial archives11 03 Midwives11 03 Midwives-Educational institution11 04 Deaf-mute educational institution11 05 Versorgungsanstalten11 06 Landarmenhaus Trier11 07 Irren-Heil-Anstalt Siegburg11 08 Irren-Bewahranstalten11 09 Arbeitsanstalt Brauweiler11 10 Besserungsanstalten11 11 Prison society, Prisons11 12 Fire law firm11 13 Provinzial-Spar- und Hilfskasse11 14 Hagel-Assekuranz11 15 Pension banks11 16 School for the Blind Düren11 17 Provinzialmuseen11 18 Agricultural school Desdorf11 19 Provincial administration budgets11 20 Road construction

Foreword: 1) History of the Registraturbildners The General Student Committee (AStA) of the Berlin University was established on the basis of the Ordinance on the Formation of Student Bodies at Universities and Technical Colleges of 18 Sept. 1920 as well as the implementing regulations of 1 Oct. 1920 issued by the Prussian Minister of Education Konrad Haenisch (No. 11). According to the constitution of the student body of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in 1922, the AStA was elected by the student representation, consisted of seven members and represented the student body externally (No. 2). By this decree the student bodies, which gave themselves corresponding statutes, were nationally recognized by the Prussian Ministry of Culture. Every student enrolled at the university had to become a member of the student body. The tasks of the General Student Body were to represent all students, to administer self-government in social matters, to administer student affairs, including disciplinary law, and to foster the intellectual and cultural life of the student body. The student representation consisted of 100 members nominated by each faction and elected by all the students. Under the guidance and control of the AStA, whose members were elected from among the student representatives, there were a number of offices and committees which had the task of carrying out the ongoing administrative work. Thus the following offices were available: - Office for State Political Education - Social Affairs Office - International Office - Office for Physical Education - Technical Emergency Aid. According to the faculties, the following student councils existed for student counselling and further education: - law and political science student council - mathematical-physical working group - chemistry student council - geography student council - zoology student council - pharmacy student council - medicine student council (clinic) - dentistry student council - philology student council - theology student council. The so-called Fachschaft Committee existed to guide the student representatives. In September 1927, the Prussian Ministry of State repealed the September 1920 decree in response to the disputes over the membership of foreign German students, especially the differing views on the treatment of foreign German students of the Jewish faith. At the same time, the Prussian State Ministry issued a new ordinance on the formation of student bodies which eliminated the "race viewpoint" previously represented by the student body. The subsequent ballot of Nov. 1927 at all Prussian universities resulted in the rejection of this new ordinance by the student bodies, which thereby lost state recognition. So-called general student bodies were then formed at the universities, including the Berlin University, which tried unsuccessfully to gain recognition as a corporation from the university administration. The mathematical-physical working group, formerly called Fachschaft, presented a new statute, which was also recognized by other working groups. Due to the new legal situation, the geographical, chemical and zoological working groups were established alongside the aforementioned working group. The new working groups formed the committee of the working groups, which was extended in the years 1931 / 1932 by the medical profession, theologians and pharmacists. This committee received the designation Ring der anerkannten Arbeitsgemeinschaften und Fachschaften an der Universität Berlin (R.d.A.) from the university management. The main tasks of the R.d.A. in the fields they represented were the provision of information, study counselling, the organisation of circles, lectures, holiday courses, excursions, support for students and liaison with lecturers, etc. With the rise to power of the National Socialists, these remnants of the so-called student self-administration were also subordinated to the "Führerprinzip". 2) Registrar relationships There were no identifiers at all to be found on the individual file units which indicated that they belonged to a registry. Nor were there any indications which could provide any information on the keeping of the file. 3) Access The inventory was indexed in January and February 1967 by the then head of the archive, Dr. Kossack. The collection was already in the archives' custody in 1960 and had already been used in earlier years. It was established that a former employee of the Institute for German History had removed individual documents and had not returned them. A completeness of the overdelivery cannot therefore be guaranteed. 4) Archival processing Since no principles of order were recognizable at the existence, a reorganization had to be made. Main groups and subgroups were formed according to the tasks of the AStA and the individual file units were assigned accordingly. The stock wr 1960 was recorded by students of history in internship. However, it was necessary to carry out both a further thorough examination of the files and of the card index, based on the principles of order and registration principles of the State Archives of the GDR.

The collection of autographs has grown out of the collection of about 2000 letters of the Cologne banker's daughter and wife Sibylle Mertens-Schaaffhausen (1797-1857), who was associated with Bonn and who for decades moved in the Biedermeier Rhenish and Roman literary and art-loving world. 1849 bequeathed to the Bonn University Library by will, the collection has belonged to the collection since 1859. The original collection also contained foreign correspondence, e.g. letters from the estate of Sibylle's Weimar friend Adele Schopenhauer, whose adopted home was the Rhineland and who died in Bonn in 1849; the collection's holdings were almost doubled in 1895/96 due to the estate of the Bonn bookseller Gustav Marcus (1897 figures: 3928 copies of 2509 persons, 310 portraits).;The foundation of the Geh. Kommerzienrat Emil vom Rath, established in 1910, expressly served the care of Rhenish literature. Not only could manuscripts be acquired from their funds in 1911, but the former Mertens-Schaaffhausen autograph collection could also be expanded into a Rhenish autograph and portrait collection. The collection also grew considerably (by at least 841 pieces) in the years 1919 - 1922, when 184 "well-known personalities of the Rhine Province" responded to a request from the library and donated portrait photographs and autographs (often with self-biographical content) to the collection. Larger autograph complexes held together by writers or addressees, which were acquired in no small number in the following period, were generally not classified in the autograph collection, but as collections, partial bequests or splinter bequests in the group of S-signatures containing manuscripts of all kinds. In 1935 7057 autographs were counted, in the year 2007 the collection contained 7953 autographs; in addition further single autographs, which were not separated from the book because of the direct connection, are found as supplements in books. The location of these autographs results from the signature.

The estate of the Prussian Minister of Culture Carl Heinrich Becker was given to the Secret State Archives in 1973 by his son Prof. Dr. Hellmut Becker as a deposit. The estate consists of two main groups, 1. correspondence and 2. factual documents. Business and factual correspondence were not separated, as the transitions were fluid and difficult to distinguish in individual cases. Associations, authorities, etc. are listed in the correspondence as correspondence partners and in the subject groups with writings, publications and statutes. In the case of factual files, a detailed division into individual subject groups was made. These are Carl Heinrich Becker's notes on official matters as well as Becker's publications and works as professor of Oriental Studies. The collection was edited by Dr. Cécile Lowenthal-Hensel, Heidemarie Nowak, Sabine Preuß and Elke Prinz. The technical writing work was done by Petra Bergert.

Description: Heinrich Billstein, former deputy, last resident at Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer 101. 2.5 hundredweight books, 3 albums and 19 files from the daughter Mariette Becker and her husband were handed over to the Historical Archive on 13.03.1974. IntroductionWith this publication, a collection is made accessible which, due to its poor state of development, had previously only been available to a limited number of users. The documents possess only to a limited extent the characteristics of a genuine hand-file collection; rather, their structure also makes them closely related to collections and documentations. BiographischesHeinrich Billstein was born on 23 January 1883 in Cologne. His father Michael Billstein was a brewer and innkeeper; he belonged to the Centre Party and was a member of the City Council from 1894 to 1905. Shortly after his re-election in November 1905, he died on 21 December. He represented the interests of the commercial middle class in the centre faction and was a not unimportant member for the Catholic party, through which it gained access to the important clientele of brewers and innkeepers, a social group belonging to the 2nd electoral class. Heinrich Billstein completed his legal studies in Freiburg, Münster and Bonn in 1902 after obtaining his Abitur at the Städtisches Gymnasium Kreuzgasse, passed the 1st state examination in 1905 and the 2nd in 1911, both with the grade "good" by the way. In the meantime he had received his doctorate in Leipzig in 1908. After temporary employment as a court assessor and assistant judge at the criminal and civil chambers of the Regional Court of Cologne, he joined the administrative service of the City of Cologne as a city assessor on 12 June 1912: He was appointed to the tax department to relieve the First Deputy Konrad Adenauer. In this function Billstein succeeded Paul Berndorff, who was elected deputy a few days later. Both belonged to the Centre Party, which since its stable majority in 1908 had sought to replenish the higher administrative apparatus with its party supporters and to eliminate the disadvantage created by decades of liberal supremacy. On 12 June 1914 Billstein was elected as a deputy; but before the election confirmation from Berlin arrived on 13 August and the planned inauguration could take place on 3 September, he had already been drafted for military service. After being discharged from military service on 4 November 1918 - Billstein was last captain of the reserve and battery leader in an artillery battalion - he took up his administrative duties three days later, on 7 November 1918; in the following period he managed various departments. He was re-elected on 20 May 1926 at the end of his twelve-year term of office. On 18 June 1933, the National Socialists removed him from office. After the end of the Second World War, the 62-year-old Billstein refused, for health reasons, to comply with the request to return to the administrative service. Persecutions and harassment by the local NSDAP local group, especially in the last days of March 1945, had so physically afflicted him that he was not in a position to participate in the community's new beginning and reconstruction. He died on 28 June 1956 in Cologne. Billstein had been married to Frieda nee Eigel since March 6, 1909; two children resulted from this marriage.administrative activities and scope of businessAccording to the business distribution plan of 1914, Billstein was to assume responsibility for all taxes (departments 5, 6 and 7 at that time) with the commencement of his assistant activities, continue to supervise the Cologne Association for Further Education in Law and Political Science, control the compensation of school, poor and police costs with the neighbouring communities, and supervise the management of the City School Register Office. With his return from the war he was given a large part of the war economy, i.e. the deficiency management that was organised during the First World War and took on an ever larger business volume in order to be gradually dismantled after the war and in accordance with the requirements of the Reich. While Heinrich Schäfer (SPD) organized the food management and supply, Billstein's activities extended to the clothing department, the coal office, the price inspection office, the brand headquarters, the economic department, the substitute means office and the police inspectorates set up for monitoring purposes. Finally, with the supervision of the city committee and the registry office, he was given responsibility for two classic administrative fields. These areas of responsibility were completely changed as early as 1921: Billstein now has powers over Office 12 - Police (Building, Road and Construction Police), Office 2 (Vehicle Fleet, Street Cleaning, Waste Collection and Fire Extinguishing), Department 14 (Trade, Commerce, Chamber of Commerce, Crafts and Guilds, Commercial Court, Commercial Court, Local Sewing Committee) and Office 26 (Commercial and Commercial Training Schools, Commercial Schools, Vocational Private Schools). Two years later his business circle changed again completely. Instead of the previous tasks in the area of promoting trade and commerce, Billstein was now entrusted with the supervision of social administration, such as welfare administration, especially welfare institutions and institutions, orphan and youth welfare. In addition, there was the supervision of youth care and the promotion of physical exercises, the supervision of sports clubs and the organisation of sports events. Billstein was to keep this area as a department until the end of his service; so he was also remembered for this decade from 1923 to 1933 as the city's sports department head. Furthermore, he again took over the supervision of the City Committee and the responsibility for the Cologne Association for Further Education in Law and Political Science, which had already been assigned to him in 1914. While he lost the City Committee again in 1926, the training facility for civil servants remained in place until he was dismissed. 1926 was another year in which a deep cut was made. Billstein lost the competence for the welfare and youth care, received again for some years (until 1931) the police supervision, then the competence for the management of the city halls and economies, here particularly the Gürzenich, and the allotment garden administration. Five years later, in 1931, Billstein undertook the last far-reaching reorganization of his business. He relinquished his authority over the police, the management of the city halls and the allotment gardens, and in return was supervised by the economic department, i.e. the tasks he had already temporarily performed in 1921 to promote trade and industry. In addition, responsibility was assumed for the ports and shipyards, the hydraulic engineering department and aviation matters with Butzweiler Hof Airport. With these fields of activity, he inherited the deputy August Haas (SPD), who had taken up his new post in Kassel in 1930 as chief president of Hessen-Nassau. With these responsibilities, Billstein was given the position of Head of Economic Affairs for the remaining two years. The constant changes in business organisation and distribution, as was typical for Adenauer's time as Lord Mayor, and the unstable responsibilities are reflected in the structure and content of the papers and documentary documents left by Billstein. They are sporadically enriched with documents that arose during the representation for absent co-ordinates. However, since the system of representation was not rigid, but constantly changed, documents from almost all administrative areas were preserved, such as the administration of health care and hospitals (deputies Peter Krautwig and Karl Coerper, both centres), culture (deputies Johann Meerfeld, SPD), the department business of economy, traffic and broadcasting (deputies August Haas, SPD) and the social administration, gardens and baths as well as the slaughterhouse (deputies Johannes Bergmann, centre).Structure of the documentsThe content of the inventory comprises approx. 30
us administrative processes, including extracts from the minutes of the meetings of the Administrative Conference, from internal processes of the offices and services subordinated to Billstein; financial matters in particular, including the questions of the structure of income and expenditure of these administrative bodies, the budget and the constraints on savings, then processes relating to personal data such as promotions, documents relating to the meetings of the City Assembly, so many reprints, often with attachments to the agendas, and to the various committees. Most of the present material is not original in nature, but consists to a large extent of copies and reprints, some of which Billstein used as memorial and memorial aids; occasionally, discussion notes are also preserved. To a limited extent, the collection also includes letters and reports by Billstein, also in typewritten form after dictation, as well as invitation and thank-you letters. The scope of Billstein's elaborations and concepts for speeches at receptions, conferences and club anniversaries is not insignificant, and newspaper articles make up a considerable part of the documents. Billstein had an anteroom officer in his department office cut out articles from newspapers he had previously marked with a cross. This collection of articles only considers the Kölner Zeitungen, namely the Kölnische Zeitung with its local edition, the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, the Kölnische Volkszeitung with the Kölner Lokal-Anzeiger, the Rheinischer Beobachter as temporary successor of the Lokal Anzeiger, the Kölner Tageblatt, the Rheinische Zeitung and the Socialist Republic. According to a report dated 24 May 1929 (see No. A 678. BI. 227), the Rheinische Zeitung, the Kölner Stadtanzeiger and the Sozialistische Republik became official, while the Kölnische Volkszeitung and the Lokalanzeiger were purchased privately by Billstein. The other editions are not reported. Then the material filled at that time "3 medium-sized cabinets". It covered all areas of local government and dates back to the war and pre-war period. Only with regard to the war economy and food supply were articles, mostly in hektographed form, from economic services, so-called economic daily reports, consulted in addition to newspapers, and the content of the newspaper articles was predominantly based on local Cologne topics. Only in the great issues of the time, such as the reparations negotiations, the elections, the resignations and new formations of Reich Cabinets, then especially the economic crisis and the financial and budget crisis of the Reich, the Länder and the municipalities, did one go beyond local references and collect articles with supralocal, partly regional, partly national themes; but here, too, almost exclusively articles from newspapers of Cologne provenance were taken into account. The reference to the offices and agencies administered by Billstein is sometimes quite far-reaching. On the other hand, issues such as weather and climate, which appear to be remote, are more closely intertwined with Billstein's tasks, for example with regard to his responsibility for measures against the Rhine flooding and for the settlement of flood damage. Billstein apparently took over some of these documents from his predecessor in this administrative area, the deputy Hermann Best (liberal). In the context of the administrative reorganisation of 31 January 1928, which summarised the entire public relations work in a press and advertising department at the newly established Transport and Economic Office, and in connection with the press and the increased interest of the administration, especially Konrad Adenauer, in press and newspaper issues, a press and newspaper archive was set up. An exact date is not known; the archive seems to have fully developed its activity in a gradual process in 1930/1931. (See organisational decree of 31 January 1928. in: Administrative Gazette of the City of Cologne. Vol. 5 (1928). No. 5; Administrative Report of the City of Cologne 1929/30 (Cologne 1930). P. 56: cf. 1930/31 (Cologne 1931). S.39 f, pp. 1931/32 (Cologne 1932). p. 39f.) In this context of the reorganization of the administration and the efforts to simplify business, the office director August Lentzen of the Departmental Office Billstein in the above-mentioned report of May 1929 recommended the submission of the documents to the new archive. In his report, he also referred to the newspaper archive of the Fair and Exhibition Office, which would have to be combined with the new press archive. (According to the administrative report 1930/31 (Cologne 1931), p. 39, this newspaper archive was here called "Literarische Abteilung-genannt, aufgelös und deren Aufgaben von der Presse- und Werbeabteilung übernommen) He also mentions the excerpts already "collected before the war in an exemplary way by the University and City Library". By bringing together the various collections of articles, Lentzen explained, the material could be used by the entire administration. In order to deliver the documents of the Billstein department office, an antechamber officer has now drawn up a list of about 380 files by topic and duration. By the end of 1929 these files had not yet been handed over. (See No. A 678: The negotiations end with the note (BI. 228 v) of 30 October 1929 that Miss Volk would probably "take over the collection for the archives of the Lord Mayor"; she wanted to discuss the matter further with Billstein, but did not know about the tent where the archives should be accommodated. Accordingly, the press archive had not yet been set up at that time.) They were, however, handed over in any case; for many of the files existing in the Billstein holdings are preceded by a form on which the delivery to "the newspaper archive to be newly established at A 1" was noted with the name of the corresponding predecessor file as well as the subject and the duration. (E.g. file concerning coal supply 21.12. 1920 --21.8.1922: No. A 521; affairs of A 2 19.6.1920 - 5.3.1925: No. A 536; dismantling of war economy enterprises and forced economy 8.7.1920 - 11.7.1921: No. A 531; identity card affairs, welfare office for expellees 20.3.1923 - 27.3.1925: No. A 491; war-affected persons welfare, war survivors welfare 12.3.1923 - 12.3.1925: No. A 492; Verein für Volkswohl, Volksküche 18.5.1923 - 14.12.1923: No. A 524. Afterwards the files were probably handed over via A 1 (Organisation- und Personalamt. Department Dr. Berndorff) to the newspaper and press archive which was in the process of being founded.) These files, which can be clearly determined from the list attached to the report, coincide with the documents of the present collection with regard to the subject matter and extend from 1919 to approx. 1922 - 1923 in individual cases, such as series up to 1929. Such series were present above all in the area of war economy and food management (coal supply, fight against traffickers and usury, food supply such as fruit and vegetables), can also be proven in files of classical administrative action (city council with eleven volumes, police inspection, municipal railways, statistics, civil servant pay, welfare, housing affairs). However, they were also created for processes that do not directly affect local self-government, but are nevertheless not insignificant for the municipality, such as individual parties such as the Centre, the KPD and the SPD, or negotiations concerning reparations. In addition to the series, the list also included individual files on all questions of the Cologne city administration, including trade unions, associations, trade and commerce, the economy and transport. All files handed over to the administrative archive at that time are no longer available and must be regarded as a loss during the war. With today's lack of municipal administrative files and documentation from these years of the Weimar Republic, the loss of tradition is very much to be lamented. The surviving holdings, catalogued in this publication, were transferred to the archive in 1938 by the Assistant Heringhaus, as he informed his colleague, the Head of the Department of Culture, Ludwig, on 7 July (cf. Best. 8900 (Alte Repertorien), A 164). He instructed Billstein to keep the "approximately 500 hand-files" he had collected there until they could be used in the preparation of a planned chronicle of the city of Cologne and until a suitable office had been appointed to manage the chronicle of the city of Cologne. a few files and documents for professional training as well as a larger batch of books and magazines were handed over to the archive in 1974 by Billstein's daughter, Marietta Becker. The scarcely 20 files were integrated into the existence. until into the eighties the existence was registered only to the half and also only by a keyword-like file subject without running times according to list. As part of the investigation of sources on the history of National Socialism in Cologne, Friedrich Kröhnke and Werner Jung, as staff members of the former NS Documentation Centre, the NS Documentation Centre of the City of Cologne, which had become independent a few years ago, sifted through all files on Nazi issues, including those not yet recorded in the titles. The previously unrecorded files with the short meetings and durations noted on the file covers were recorded in the form of a card. In the following years, attempts were made to make the files more accessible by student assistants, to specify the subjects by more extensive titles and to make them accessible by more detailed notes on content, and also to structure the result of the indexing for the first time. A finding aid book planned at that time had to be postponed after first attempts, since the result was completely unsatisfactory. Finally nothing helped more than to undertake the entire inventory again and to sight sheet by sheet. Since the files are usually organized after commercial filing, the listing follows this order and names the file contents after the chronological sequence, thus depending upon case beginning with the last sheet of the file. With regard to the indexing of the contents of the individual file units, first the actual file processes are named, then the newspaper articles are listed, and finally the official and other printed matters are mentioned. In order to make the character of the individual files easier for the user to recognize, they were marked with the abbreviations A (mainly file processes), Z (mainly newspaper articles), M (mixed form). (This identifier was transferred to the comments field during the retroconversion of the holdings.)Source value of the reference files Due to the high war losses, the once existing serial character of the holdings has not been preserved. Thus the traditional picture now gives a fragmentary, somewhat incoherent impression. Thus, the hand file collection is of very limited informative value for in-depth structural investigations of Cologne's urban and administrative history. Its value lies rather in the multitude of persons, events, associations, events and administrative processes mentioned, which are often only occasionally documented and can hardly be followed in their genesis and further development. In view of the great loss that the City of Cologne suffered in its administrative documents, collections and documentations as a result of the war destruction, the collection has a certain significance for the history of the city and its citizens during the Weimar Republic. Whether the object was worthy of this intensive treatment, that can ultimately only decide the user. The finding aid was created by Dr. Everhard Kleinertz.references: Kleinertz, Everhard: Handakten Heinrich Billsteins (Mitteilungen aus dem Stadtarchiv von Köln, vol. 90), Cologne 2000.
