Find aids: Findbuch 2013 (online searchable) Registraturbilder: Hermann Moritz Bertram founded the company Herm in 1884. Bertram Halle/S. with headquarters at Torstraße 61, which manufactured and sold special machines for bakeries. Over the years, Bertram has developed a large number of patents for special bakery machines which have been supplied to customers at home and abroad. From 1896 the company produced kneading machines and from 1905 steam ovens. Between 1915 and 1918, the factory also supplied cast iron grenades and light mobile field ovens to the military. In April 1909 Otto Bertram became a partner in the company. At the same time, the company was transformed into a general partnership under the new company name "Herm. Bertram, Hallesche Dampfbackofen-Fabrik - Hallesche Misch- und Knetmaschinen-Fabrik". In March 1921, Bertram Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH was founded in Halle, Thielenstrasse 4, to improve the marketing of the company's products. The company offered complete equipment for bakeries and bread factories, as well as steam ovens, electric ovens and bakery machines of all kinds. In 1931, Herm. Bertram GmbH took over the uneconomical distribution company. In order to prevent the use of the name "Bertram" by other companies, the fictitious registered office of the sales company was moved to Berlin in 1936. Until 1938, the deletion of the Vertriebs-GmbH from the local commercial register could thus be prevented. In 1924 Otto Bertram was the sole owner of the company, which was renamed Herm. Bertram, Hallesche Dampfbackofen-Fabrik-Hallesche Misch- und Knetmaschinen-Fabrik umändern. At the beginning of 1929 the company Herm. Bertram, Hallesche Dampfbackofen-Fabrik-Hallesche Misch- und Knetmaschinen-Fabrik GmbH whose main shareholders were Otto and Charlotte Bertram, from April 1937 also Wolf Günther Bertram. From 1939, the company again carried out army orders and, in addition to bakery machines for army building offices and various offices in the occupied territories, also produced grenades and supplied machines to important war factories. In 1942 the GmbH was converted into a limited partnership. By order of the President of the Province Saxony Main Department of Economics of July 3, 1946, Herm. Bertram KG was placed under the direct supervision and power of disposal of the Province of Saxony, but the company was neither placed under sequestration nor expropriated. Only fiduciary administrators and managing directors were appointed. In March 1948 the limited partnership was converted back into Herm. Bertram, Hallesche Dampfbackofen-Fabrik-Hallesche Misch- und Knetmaschinen-Fabrik GmbH. The purpose of the company was to manufacture and sell ovens and machines of all kinds for the bakery, food and chemical industries, and in particular to continue the business of Hermann Bertram KG. On 19 March 1953, the then managing director filed a petition for bankruptcy against the assets of the company and its owners on account of tax debts with the Halle City Council (Finance Department, UA Abgaben). By "private sale" the company inventory was sold to the VEB (K) Bäckereimaschinen und Ofenbau Halle (Saale) on 15 April 1953 as part of the compulsory execution and the company was thus transferred into public ownership. On 1 Jan. 1957 this company was merged into Nagema "Habämfa" VEB Hallesche Bäckereimaschinen- und Ofenfabrik, Halle. Inventory information: In the years 1999, 2000 and 2004 the Stadtarchiv Halle handed over about 8.7 linear metres of untapped documents to Herm. Bertram, Hallesche Dampfbackofen-Fabrik - Hallesche Misch- und Knetmaschinen-Fabrik GmbH to the former Landesarchiv Merseburg (later Landeshauptarchiv Sachsen-Anhalt, Merseburg Department), where it was processed and recorded in 2012.

The first preparatory correspondence from the years 1876ff. for the initiation of a dogma-free mission and the first discussions of the association in the religious-church newspapers and magazines has been handed down (from the preface by Wolfgang Eger, 1981). Extensive material is also devoted to the founding conference in Frankfurt/M. on 11 April 1883, the constituent assembly in Weimar on 4 and 5 June 1884, the first period of the association from Weimar to Mannheim (1884-1885) and from Gotha to Braunschweig (1886-1887) as well as the winning of the Grand Duke of Weimar as protector of the association.The first president of the East Asia Mission, the Swiss priest Ernst Buß from Glarus, stated on the occasion of the foundation of the Mission in his welcoming speech in Weimar in June 1884: "...But now also in the soul of the heathen, although often very atrophied, lie germs and remnants of eternal truth and healthy religious life, which are intimately related to the spirit of the Gospel. If these are lovingly chosen, this is taken up and the Gospel is brought close to the Gentile in such a way that he feels: that is my own better self, that is only the full height and beauty of what I myself suspected and sought for, but was not able to find! Then the Gospel will find receptive ground, then it can take root in the people's minds, then it will bring forth the blessed fruits of the Spirit in Asia and Africa as well as in us. But once the spirit of Jesus Christ has penetrated the heart of a people, this spirit will already create for itself the worship and ecclesiastical forms that are appropriate to it on that ground, perhaps quite different from what we are accustomed to, perhaps more exuberant, perhaps more poorer - God does not demand that all his children stammer the father's name with the same sounds - but at any rate folksy ones that correspond to the national character. But if they are popular forms, they will also exert a popular attraction and facilitate the connection. Christianity, far from being denationalized, becomes itself a national element, a leaven that gradually permeates an entire people, can educate entire peoples from within to Christian morality..." The draft statutes of the Association (1883-1884) and the statutes adopted in 1886, the minutes of meetings of the Central Committee, the Business Committee, the General Assembly, staff meetings and house conferences, as well as the first statutes of branch associations, are available.The General Evangelical-Protestant Missionary Association regards mission in the non-Christian world as an undeniable duty of the whole Christianity, founded in the command and promise of Jesus as well as in the divine destiny of Christianity, and therefore has the task of contributing to its part so that the redemption through Jesus Christ, the blessings of Christian knowledge of God, Christian life and Christian culture more and more become the common property of all peoples.He recognizes in the non-Christian religions with Paul and the most outstanding church teachers of the first centuries of the Christian calendar germs of divine truth and sets himself the goal of their development and completion in the Christian religion. He wants to solve his tasks in the sense of the Evangelical-Protestant faith and in doing so gives room to every conviction that has grown on the basis of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. On this basis it seeks the union and collaboration of all those who are permeated by the need for mission in the spirit of the Gospel and the Reformation, whatever their theological direction or confessional and ecclesial denomination.He complements the already existing Protestant mission associations by considering the mission areas which have not yet been tackled by them, or have been tackled only with little success, and by seeking primarily also to involve those circles of Protestant Christianity in the mission work which have so far kept themselves away from it, so that the mission ceases to be only the work of a small fraction of the church".Also available are the documents for the foundation of a missionary library (1887), the establishment of a scholarship (1887), the "third" association period from Braunschweig to Zurich (1887-1888) and the following annual meetings.The first annual report by Ernst Faber from Shanghai (1887) and the reports on the Faberhospital, on building and property issues, school facilities, on the occupation of the parish office of the German Protestant congregation in Shanghai, Tsientsin, Beijing and Tokyo, on the time of the First World War and National Socialism and on the time after 1945 are particularly interesting material. Finally, there are the minutes of the Tsingtau College of Missionaries, the negotiations on the construction of a student residence in Tokyo (1965), extensive documents on the connections to the Swiss East Asia Mission, to the national associations - with the conference reports of the national associations - and to the national churches.The medical mission in China, which began in 1902, is documented with remarkable hospital reports from Kaumi, the Faber Hospital, Tsining and Tsingtau (wish hospital), as well as more recent material on contacts with Japanese in Germany. Again and again financial, asset and property issues in Germany and in Mission, including German-Japanese study projects, are on record, as is the connection to Kyodan, to the Working Communities for World Mission and Ecumenical Mission (e.g. to the Japan Committee of German Missions).Classification Group 3 contains the correspondence with the mission inspectors and missionaries, doctors, nurses and other DOAM staff, arranged in alphabetical order. Of particular interest are the letters of Ernst Faber from Shanghai and Hong Kong from 1884ff. Often the application, employment and mission documents of the mission staff are also available. The numerous activity and situation reports, which were regularly sent to the Heimatleitung, provide interesting insights into the often renouncing and endangered missionary work. In this department the various advertisements, newsletters, pamphlets, travel activities, construction and financial planning, conferences represent a focal point. Some unpublished manuscripts and sermons deserve special attention in addition to the printed material in the archive.in classification group 2 materials on the mission locations and stations have been handed down. Documents about the German Protestant congregation in Shanghai (1886ff.) together with its statutes, about the German Protestant congregation in Tokyo (1884ff.) together with statutes, church building, German and theological school (also in Yokohama), about the Tokyo station, the new building of a student dormitory in Tokyo are available as well as materials about Tsingtau with the Faberhospital, the school and the reports about the political unrest there (1927ff.).), the Kyoto station with the preaching stations Osaka and Suzuki, the prisoner of war chaplaincy during and after the First World War, the fire of the German Protestant Church in connection with the great earthquake of 1923, as well as the Kiautschoumission, the Fukuoka House and the Tomizaka Seminar House. Often the personnel documents of the missionaries are also available again or supplement the corresponding documents of Group 2, so that the files of Divisions 2 and 3 are to be consulted for all personnel questions.The extensive Group 4 comprises all accounting, cash and property documents of the East Asia Mission. The first account books date from the years 1889ff. Invoicing documents, e.g. of the station cash registers, can also be found in group 3. the group V mentioned by Wolfang Eger at this point (photos, clichés, glass slides) has meanwhile been divided and assigned to other stocks (180.06., 180.07.). Group VI (books, periodicals, printed publications), which was created in the first indexing phase, was formed to 180.08..

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. Obviously, it was only during the copy campaign carried out in November 1811 that attempts were made to give the files a systematic order. The incomplete file plan, evident from the list of documents submitted to Tübingen, has the following structure:I. GeneraliaII. files referring to the interest of the Duchess Duchess Highness and the Serene Most ChildrenIII. files because of the horse and effect transport from WürzauIV.Highest Resolutions, Decrees and other documents relating to the furniture property, its sale, etc.V.Inventories and inventories of the furniture propertyVI.The active state concerningVII.The passive state concerningVIII.The ducal court keeping in the whole concerning.IX.The economy and its needs concerningVII.The economy and its needs concerningVII.The active state concerningVII.The passive state concerningVIII.The ducal court keeping in the whole concerning.IX.The economy and its needs concerningVII.The economy and its needs concerningVII.The economy and its needs concerningVIII.The economy and its needs concerningVII.The economy and its needs concerningVIII.The economy and its needs concerningVIII.the active state concerningVII.the passive state concerningVIII.the ducal court keeping in the whole concerningV IX.The economy and its needs concerningV.The list of the files entered into the Main State Archives contains the categories:I.[missing]II.The interest of the Lady Duchess (Henriette) Highness and the Serene Children in III. files because of the transport of horses and effects from WürzauIV.The existing furniture property, its sale etc.V.Inventories and directories of the furniture propertyVI.The activity concerning VII.[missing]VIII.The ducal court keeping in the whole concerning IX.Economy and its needsX.The accounting of the economy concerning XI.The use of stamps at the administration commissionThe larger remainder of the written property, mostly account books and business books, older invoices and receipts, was not subject to any rubric order. To all appearances, only the material that could be considered for the Upper Appellate Tribunal had been classified accordingly. The copying work, however, only reached up to column IX, so that the uncopied backs of the writings remained with the GAK or, like the majority of the creditor documents, were handed over in the original to Tübingen. In order to reconstruct the records of the GAK, not only the files listed here, but also the files that have entered the Württembergische Hausarchiv via the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court, the successor institution of the Higher Appeal Tribunal, must be consulted. Further files on Duke Ludwig's debt management, which were not kept by the GAK but by the Ministry of Housing itself, can be found in holdings E 55, Bü 462 and 464 of the Main State Archives.For the new indexing, which was carried out within the scope of the legal clerkship training of the undersigned, an ideal-typical registry order was taken as a basis, which as far as possible is based on the fragmentary file plan of the GAK. 2.1 m in 72 tufts.

Contents and evaluation Preliminary remark By Gisela Scharlau The tax files of Jewish citizens taken over by the Heilbronn tax office in 1999 contain documents on all common types of taxes such as income tax, property tax, trade tax and turnover tax from the period from 1913 to 1943. They also contain correspondence, purchase contracts, documents on tax audits, tax proceedings, etc. Since the persons concerned are exclusively Jewish citizens of Heilbronn who were either able to emigrate or were deported during the Third Reich, the special features are the Reich Flight Tax levied since 1931 on emigration, the Jewish property levy due in 5 instalments in 1938/1939 and other reprisals directed against the Jews such as the delivery of valuables and the compulsory purchase in Jewish old people's homes. In the end, the formerly wealthy people affected were mostly destitute and often still dependent on the support of relatives abroad (the permits of the foreign exchange offices for the payment of the money are enclosed), who had succeeded in emigrating in time. The files also contain the "tax clearance declaration" required for emigration. It was usually valid for 6 months and was extended several times, in many cases it was completely useless and no longer saved the victims from deportation. In addition to police deregistrations with emigration data, the files also contain deportation data. "("The Jew ... was expatriated in the calendar year 1942 and deported from the Reich" or "now in the East".) In addition to files of individuals, the collection contains company files of Jewish companies, most of which had already ceased operations (until 1938). The people mainly come from Heilbronn, but a large part also come from other parts of Württemberg, mainly from Stuttgart. These are mostly elderly people who were forcibly transferred from Stuttgart old people's homes to the Jewish old people's home Eschenau near Heilbronn. Most of the persons concerned were either deported to Riga on 01.12.1941 or to Theresienstadt on 22.08.1942 and, with very few exceptions, murdered. When these files were recorded, an attempt was made to also ascertain the life data of the family members concerned, insofar as these were included in the tax documents. In addition to life data and occupation, the places of residence or company headquarters should also provide information about the fate of the people; a local register should make it easier to find people coming from other places. Additions to the title entry were taken from the three publications listed below and placed in square brackets. The logical additions resulting from the files are in round brackets. A list of abbreviations explains the abbreviations used. The inventory K 26 comprises 170 title records; some files are heavily mouldy. The duration of the tax files begins in 1913 and ends in 1943. All parts of the files created after 1945 relate to reparations proceedings.

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. November 1918E 46: Ministry of Foreign Affairs IIIBü 1285 - 1300: Handakten von Weizsäcker: Bü 1291: Acceptance of the command of a Prussian army corps by Duke Albrecht von Württemberg (1905/06)Bü 1292: Records of an interview with the State Secretary of the Interior Delbrück in Berlin concerning the Alsace-Lorraine question (1910)Bü 1294: Russische Politik (1910)Bü 1295: Succession to the throne in Monaco (Duke Wilhelm von Urach) (1910/12)Bü 1296: Bundesfinanzen, Deckung der Kosten der Wehrvorlage (1912)Bü 1297: Berichte des Württembergischen Militärbevolltigten in Berlin betreffend Wehrvorlagen (1912)Bü 1298: Albanian succession to the throne (1912/13)Bü 1299: Report by Weizsäckers to the King on Berlin Financial Conferences (1916)E 73: Gesandschaftsakten Verzeichnis 61Bü 12 e - 12 i: Reports of the Federal Council Plenipotentiaries (1897-1918); Bü 12 g also contains reports of the Military Plenipotentiary in Berlin (July - August 1914)Bür 42 d - 42 e: Berichte der Gesandtschaft MünchenE 74 I: Württembergische Gesandtschaft in BerlinBü 164 - 168: Political Reports 1914 - 1918E 75: Württemberg Embassy in MunichBü 154 - 156: Reports of the Württemberg Ambassador in MunichE 130b: State MinistryBü 5860: Weizsäcker's files on the draft law concerning amendments to the Civil Servants' Act of 28 April 1949 June 1876 (1906/07)M 1/2: Special files of the Minister of War and his AdjutantM 660: Estate of Fritz von Graevenitz Significance of the estate: The personal-private and confidential character of numerous documents of this estate contributes nuances to the picture of this time which are naturally missing in the official papers. 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 the Inventor: The "registration and treatment of hostile property" in the occupied Netherlands was regulated in the course of the establishment of a German civil administration. The Commissioner General for Finance and Economy was responsible for this. Dr. Schröder, a member of the Council of Appeal, was initially the head of the Enemy Assets Division, which was initially designated in the General Department and expanded into its own department on 1 Nov. 1941. Fine property management included the movable and immovable property of natural and legal persons of the states involved in the war against Germany. The Commissioner General decided on the appointment of appropriate administrators. Initially, the assets of Jews who had fled abroad were also placed under administration, but these asset administrations were converted into trusteeships from March 1941. The liquidation of the companies was carried out in accordance with the Ordinance of 12 March 1941 on the Treatment of Companies Subject to Notification (Economic Judgment Ordinance) by the Auditing Office of the Commissioner General. Inventory description: Inventory history The files of the Enemy Assets Department of the General Commissioner for Finance and Economics, including a few volumes of the provenance of fiduciary work, did not reach the Federal Archives until 1984 from the Deutsche Revisions- und Treuhand AG in Frankfurt/M. The files of the Enemy Assets Department of the General Commissioner for Finance and Economics, including a few volumes of the provenance of fiduciary work, were only archived in the Federal Archives in 1984. The files were filmed in the Federal Archives in 2001 and the original files were handed over to the Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie Amsterdam.

In addition to the reports requested by the administrators, the volumes also contain audit reports of Deutsche Revisions- und Treuhand AG, The Hague Branch, as well as correspondence on the decisions of the Commissioner General. There are also general volumes on the treatment of enemy property, including the appointment of administrators, and documents on the treatment of Jewish property.

History of the inventor: Deutsche Revisions- und Treuhand AG was established in Berlin in January 1925 and belonged to the Reich-owned holding company Vereinigte Industrieunternehmungen AG, Berlin (VIAG), which raised 70 of its founding capital. The main purpose was to audit the annual financial statements and balance sheets and to prepare expert opinions on the economic management of private, municipal and state enterprises. She was involved in the organisation, restructuring or liquidation of associations and public corporations and also carried out asset management and executions of wills. In the annexed and occupied territories, subsidiaries, branch offices and branch offices were established during the Second World War, which in many cases were also entrusted with state tasks, e.g. the collection and realisation of assets. Description of the holdings: Inventory history: In 1990, the holdings 80 Re 1 and 84 of the Central State Archives of the GDR and the Federal Archives of Koblenz, respectively, were merged under the new inventory signature R 8135. A number of documents of smaller auditing and trust companies and of the branches of Reichstreuhand AG, which had previously been kept in Potsdam as separate holdings, were added to the holdings. Characterisation of content: In addition to a few general files and records for the examination of Reich and state authorities, cities and municipalities, Reich, economic and specialist groups, and Reich committees, the records essentially consist of examination reports on individual firms in Germany and abroad A-Z.

History of the Inventor: The State Tax Offices were established in 1919 as the central authorities of the three-tier Reich Finance Administration, and from Apr. 1937 they were known as the Chief Finance President. Their jurisdiction was usually territorially limited. Only the LFA/OFP Berlin was assigned various responsibilities after 1933 which were to be exercised for the entire territory of the Reich, including the administration of enemy property in Germany and German property abroad (processed in a special branch office for enemy property in 1942). Inventory description: Inventory history The files of the branch office for hostile assets of the OFP Berlin-Brandenburg were continued by the Oberfinanzdirektion Berlin after 1945. When it resumed its activities in May 1945, the branch office had taken over hundreds of thousands of registration forms and the extensive file that had been moved to the vaults of the Deutsche Reichsbank during the last years of the war. At the end of 1962, the files and card indexes were transferred to the Dornburg Archive Depot of the GDR's State Archive Administration and were virtually unusable there. When the archive depot was closed in 1992, the documents were transferred to the Federal Archives. Due to the fact that the large mass of single case files usable by the existing alphabetical index was opposed by a comparatively small stock of unlisted Generalia, two partial stocks R 2107 (single case files) and R 2107 I (Generalia) were formed. The Generalia were evaluated and recorded between 1997 and 2002. In the course of the evaluation, approximately 2.0 linear metres of files from the Amt für Preise at the Stadtbezirksverwaltung Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg as well as from the Zentralfinanzamt Groß-Berlin and the Magistrat von Berlin were separated out and handed over to the Landesarchiv Berlin, while numerous official documents were removed and handed over to the Bundesarchiv library. Numerous duplicates, form collections and routine documents were collected.
