Find aids: Findbuch 2015 (online searchable) Registraturbilddner: On 5 Oct. 1923 the sugar distribution company Halle-Rositz-Holland AG was founded in Halle (Saale). After the closure of the Holland sugar factory in Dessau-Alten (1932), the company was renamed Zuckervertriebsgesellschaft Halle AG (ZVG), with branches in Halle and Rositz/Altenburg. From 1942 ZVG and the Vereinigung mitteldeutscher Rohzuckerfabriken (VEMIRO) formed a dual company within the meaning of the Cartel Tax Regulation. The sugar distribution company coordinates the supply of raw sugar to the sugar refineries, the sale of sugar products, controlled the beet cultivation and was the sales organ of the raw sugar factories combined in VEMIRO, primarily in the Halle, Köthen and Zeitz/Altenburg regions. It belonged to the Berlin Sugar Industry Economic Group and to the Berlin Association of the German Sugar Industry. In the 1930s and 1940s, the company also provided foreign labour and forced labour for the refineries and sugar factories. In 1946 the company was expropriated, assigned to Industriewerke Sachsen-Anhalt and dissolved in 1947. Their tasks and assets were taken over by the Halle sugar refinery. Inventory information: From the administrative archive of the VEB Zuckerkombinat Halle, about 2 linear metres of ZVG documents were handed over to the Staatsarchiv Magdeburg in 1981, where the files were recorded on index cards and re-signed in 1984. The holdings were transferred in 1994 to the newly founded Landesarchiv Merseburg (later Landeshauptarchiv Sachsen-Anhalt, Merseburg Department), where the card index was retroconverted in 2011 in the scopeArchiv archive programme. 2015 saw the complete revision and reorganization of the archive holdings.

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

History of the Inventory Designer: The "Restverwaltung" (Residual Administration) was created in Berlin as an immediate post-war institution from a small group of former members of the Reich Ministry of Finance to compile overviews and compilations from preserved files of the RFM on behalf of the Allies. The "Restverwaltung" was elevated to the status of an office with its affiliation to the General Tax Directorate and the provision of the necessary funds by the order of the Finance Department of the Magistrate of the City of Berlin of 31 Jan. 1946. On 4 Dec. 1946, the Allied Commandant's Office ordered the closure of the Restverwaltung and the Magistrate of Berlin was instructed to "establish an office for the security and classification of the archives of the former Reich Finance Ministry ... to set up". The activities of the "Archive of the former Reich Ministry of Finance", which was established as a result, were initially limited to "providing information to the four occupying powers" (see: R 2 ANH./1). Later, the provision of information to German offices as well as to companies and private individuals was added. On the basis of an agreement between the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Senator for Finance of the State and the City of Berlin dated 2 June and 6 July 1951, the 'Archive' was incorporated into the Federal Ministry of Finance with effect from 1 April 1951 and, until its dissolution at the end of 1957/beginning of 1958, was referred to as the 'Archive of the Federal Ministry of Finance'. Inventory description: Inventory history In the 1960s, the files of the former Reich Ministry of Finance kept by the Restverwaltung and the archives of the Federal Ministry of Finance, as well as the documents resulting from their own activities, were partly transferred to the Federal Archives via the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Geheime Staatsarchiv. In addition, the holdings have been supplemented by those elaborations, especially statistical compilations, which have been compiled by the German working groups of the former Ministerial Collecting Center, Economic Division, from files of the former Reich Ministry of Finance and which have entered the Federal Archives. Characterisation of the contents: Based on the tasks of the authority, apart from a few files on the organisation and information on periods of employment, there are mainly documents and information for the four occupying authorities on the Reich budget and on financial matters of the Reich, on armaments financing, on German property abroad as well as on enemy and foreign property in Germany, including 12 volumes on the Aryanisation and smashing of the Petschek group.

History of the Inventory Designer: The "Reichsstelle für Garten- und Weinbauerzeugnisse" (Reichsstelle) was established on 01 November 1936. The legal basis for the establishment was the Act on the Sale of Horticultural and Viticultural Products of 30 September 1936 (RGBL. I p. 854). The Reich Office carried out a state economic activity. Its main task was to monitor and direct the import of the products farmed, in terms of quantity, place and time, in accordance with the requirements of the internal market and, at the same time, to guide the pricing of these products in such a way as to avoid, as far as possible, disturbances resulting from the difference between world prices and domestic prices. The Reich Office was thus also involved in the internal market equalization process and in stock management. They were the only means by which horticultural and wine-growing products imported from a customs territory or a customs exclusion area could be placed on the market in the customs territory. All horticultural and wine-growing products to be imported from a customs foreign country or from a customs exclusion area which were subject to the Act on the Trade in Horticultural and Wine-growing Products of 30 September 1936 were therefore to be offered for sale to the Reich Agency. The takeover by the Reich Office was effected by means of a takeover certificate, the issuance of which the importer applied for from the Reich Office. The Reich agency was not obliged to take over the offered horticultural and wine-growing products. The import of the goods could therefore be stopped at any time. The horticultural and wine-growing products placed on the domestic market by the domestic producer were not subject to the restrictions of the Horticultural and Wine-growing Products Trade Act in view of the market organisation implemented for them. Only the products imported from a customs foreign country or a customs exclusion area were managed by the Reich Office. Its scope resulted from Article III of the seventh Regulation implementing and supplementing the Law on the marketing of horticultural and wine-growing products of 7 June 1940 (RGBl. I p. 862). The Imperial Agency mainly imported products from the following countries: - European countries of origin: Baltic States, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Yugoslavia, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, Spain, Hungary and Portugal. - Non-European countries of origin: Afghanistan, Egypt, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Japan, India, Iran, Cameroon, Canada, Mexico, Palestine, Somalia, South African Union, Syria, Turkey, USA, West Indies and Cameroon. Imported products have been grouped into the following product groups: - Vegetables, fruit, tropical fruits, potatoes, vegetable seeds, flower seeds, tobacco seeds, caraway seeds, azaleas, cut flowers and reindeer lichen. The Reich Office was divided into main departments, departments and subject areas. The division into departments and their subdivision into subject areas resulted from the business allocation plan. The "Überwachungsstelle für Gartenbau-Erzeugnisse, Getränke und sonstige Lebensmittel" (Überwachungsstelle), which was established on 24 September 1934 (Deutscher Reichs- und Preußischer Staatsanzeiger 1934 No. 209), was merged with the Reichsstelle to form the "Reichsstelle für Garten- und Weinbauerzeugnisse als Überwachungsstelle" (Reichsstelle as Überwachungsstelle) by ordinance of 6 December 1938 (Deutscher Reichs- und Preußischer Staatsanzeiger 1938 No. 291). The merger brought together, as far as possible, bodies of the same or a similar nature from the two services, such as money, assets, staff and materials management, registers, the law firm, the post office and the branches located in the same place. The former Main Department III of the Reich Office and the country groups I - VI of the Surveillance Office were also merged, so that the applications for the issue of foreign exchange certificates and takeover certificates could be dealt with in one operation. The Reich Office as a supervisory office was now divided into 5 main departments, 6 departments, 21 subdivisions and 15 subject areas. The range of tasks of the Reich Office as such, however, remained unchanged in principle. In addition, the tasks of the supervisory authority remained essentially unchanged, namely the examination of applications for foreign exchange certificates submitted by importers from a formal and economic point of view, in particular in accordance with the rules on foreign exchange control, the import of vegetables, fruit, juices, wines, tea and live plants, and their allocation. It also issued foreign exchange certificates applied for and checked that the importers used the certificates issued in due time and in the proper manner. The tasks of the Reich Office as a supervisory authority were thus also determined by the Foreign Exchange Control Act. Pursuant to § 2 (2) of this Act, in addition to the foreign exchange offices, the monitoring offices also took their measures and made their decisions in accordance with guidelines drawn up by the Reich Office for Foreign Exchange Management in agreement with the Reich Minister for Economic Affairs and the Reich Minister for Food and Agriculture. These directives delimited the tasks of the supervisory authorities in that they supervised the import and payment of goods and controlled purchase prices. They also had to take measures in the field of internal management (e.g. processing and export bans). The Reich Office as well as the Surveillance Office were corporations under public law, i.e. legal entities of their own, which financed themselves and were not maintained from Reich funds. They were subject to the supervision of the Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The Reichstelle, as the supervisory authority, also had to obtain approval for the scale of fees from this authority. Examples of chargeable events were the issue of foreign exchange certificates and the issue of expert opinions on private settlement transactions. However, the monitoring agency carried out book and company audits free of charge, unless the audit revealed that a company had violated official orders. After the outbreak of the war, the Reich Office was confronted with new tasks as a supervisory office with regard to the procurement of goods. All enemy states and a large part of the neutral states failed as suppliers, while the demand for food imports of all kinds grew steadily. As a result, prices abroad also rose sharply, so that the Reich Office's previous task of raising foreign prices to the German price level by means of differential amounts became illusory and was finally reversed in the opposite direction, namely that of reducing the price of imported goods. The other task, the territorial control of the import of goods, had already been transferred to a greater extent to the main associations (e.g.: Main Association of the German Horticultural Industry) at the outbreak of the war, so that only the area of responsibility of the supervisory authority remained. The Reich office as such was therefore closed at the beginning of July 1943. In the course of the effects of the war, the surveillance agency took on ever greater dimensions as the difficulties in procuring goods grew. After the end of the war, the assets of the Reichsstelle were liquidated by the Allies. The storage and import point in Hamburg was authorized by § 5 No. 2 of the Ordinance of the Central Office for Food and Agriculture of 17 August 1946 (Official Gazette for Food and Agriculture No. 2 of 24 August 1946) and by decree of the Food and Agriculture Council in Stuttgart of 04 July 1946 to liquidate the assets of the Reich Office, insofar as they were located in the American and British occupation zone. The branch office in Bavaria was handled by the office of the trade associations. A trustee was appointed to carry out the liquidation, who received his activity permit from the competent British supervisory authority and headed the 'Liquidation Office of the Reich Office for Horticultural and Viticultural Products as a Supervisory Office' in Berlin and the 'Liquidation Office of the Main Association of the German Horticultural Industry and Reich Office for Horticultural and Viticultural Products as a Supervisory Office - Munich Branch'. The final dispute over the assets of the former Reich offices within the four occupation zones was reserved for the decision of the Allied Control Council. Inventory description: Inventory description The files of the Reich Office for Horticultural and Viticultural Products were transferred to the Federal Archives in Koblenz in 1974 from the Oberfinanzdirektion Berlin, which was responsible for handling the Reich's food supply. The 248 files have a term from 1930 to 1973, whereby the mass of the files originated between 1936 and 1945. The documents contain above all documents which have arisen as a result of the Reich Office's business relations with the importers: agreements on quantities and prices for various products, currency certificates and takeover certificates, notes on business trips and company audits. The inventory can also be used to a limited extent as a substitute for the insufficient inventory of inventory R 3601 (Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture) due to war damage. No cassations were made. A file plan for the Reich Office did not exist. There was also no registry in the Reich office. The order of the files and their filing was carried out by the employees of the Reich Office according to their respective tasks and priorities. The rules of procedure are therefore partly unconventional and unsystematic. Consequently, there are documents in the files with different thematic classifications. Only an order according to individual countries is recognizable. The classification in the finding aid is based on this order by country. Only a few files were prearchived with titles. The file titles were therefore formed according to the predominant factual content of the file. The units of description were, if necessary, indexed more deeply by means of contained annotations. Characterisation of content: The main focus of the text is on documents relating to the business activities of the Reich Office, in particular ministerial decrees and materials for foreign trade with European and non-European countries: BArch, R 15-IV/...

History of the Inventory Designer: The Reich Treasury Office, which emerged from the Finance Department (until 1877: Finance Office) of the Reich Chancellery in 1879, became the Reich Ministry of Finance (RFM) in 1919. The RFM initially took over the structure and the responsibilities transferred to the Reich Treasury for the Reich budget, currency, customs duties and excise duties. Only the administration of the Reich's own property, the exploitation of the Reich's property, above all by the army and navy, and the financial supervision of industrial enterprises and the Reich's holdings in industrial enterprises were temporarily transferred to the Reich Treasury, which was newly founded in March 1919 and dissolved again in 1923. The scope of duties of the Reich Ministry of Finance was considerably extended in the course of the Erzberger financial reform of 1919/1920, mainly through responsibility for property and transport taxes. The Länder had to leave their tax apparatus to the Reich, so that the RFM, as the head of the Reich Finance Administration, now had a uniform official substructure in the form of regional tax offices and local tax offices and main customs offices. Since the dissolution of the Reich Ministry for Reconstruction (1924), the RFM has also had comprehensive competence for handling the consequences of war. The RFM experienced a further increase in its tasks in connection with the abolition of the sovereignty of the Länder in 1934, as a result of which the finance ministries of the Länder were placed under the supervision of the RFM. Only the Prussian Ministry of Finance was able to retain its independence and was not incorporated into the RFM until September 1944 and only formally. Inventory description: Inventory history Until 1936, most of the files of the RFM that had been created until 1929 as well as numerous files of the "Neue Registratur" from 1930 onwards, including the household files of the Wehrmacht, the SS and the concentration camps, had already been handed over to the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam. Since only part of the war-related relocations were included, large parts of these files were destroyed during the air raid on Potsdam in April 1945, including almost all secret files after 1925 as well as numerous files of the new registry, in particular on official and pension matters, employee and worker questions. Losses have also occurred in the files stored by the Reichsarchiv. The household records of the Wehrmacht, the SS and the concentration camps mentioned above are considered destroyed today. Further losses of files have occurred due to the destruction of files in the authority itself and at the places of removal. This applies in particular to the files for the treatment of anti-grass roots and anti-rich, Jewish and confiscated assets of the "Eylert" and "Maedel" units of the RFM, which were moved to Sigmaringen. These files were most likely burned shortly before the end of the war together with the documents of the Sigmaringen tax office. After the end of the war, depending on the place of relocation, parts of the records were transferred to both the Federal Archive in Koblenz and the then German Central Archive in Potsdam (DZA). In the 1960s, the Federal Archives in Koblenz took over from the Federal Ministry of Finance, above all, the files of the registries running until 1945, which were initially kept by the "Restverwaltung" and from 1946 by the "Archiv des ehemaligen Reichsfinanzministeriums". The files of the Reich Archives that had been transferred to the Potsdam DZA were mainly the files of the Reich Archives in the Sraßfurt and Schönebeck potash shafts, as well as confiscated documents returned from the Soviet Union in 1955. Until 1990, the entire collection of the Reich Ministry of Finance was held in roughly equal parts in the Central State Archives of the GDR and in the Federal Archives in Koblenz. In both archives the tradition was recorded successively and recorded in provisional finding aids (indexes and card indexes). Due to the different overdelivery focal points of both sub-stocks, the respective classification of the sub-stocks was carried out according to different criteria. While the Potsdam part of the stock with a focus on traditions was structured according to the departmental structure until 1930, the Koblenz structure followed the uniform file plan of the Reich Finance Administration introduced in 1929. In addition, the records kept as holdings 21.01 in the Central State Archives of the GDR were divided into two signature sequences, depending on the time of their creation. A-signatures received files with provenance Reichsschatzamt created until 1919, B-signatures the files of the RFM. When the two parts of the records were merged in 1990, the different signature sequences had to be merged in order to clearly identify the individual files. The signatures of the Koblenz files were retained, the old A-signatures with 40000 and the B-signatures with 50000 were added. Since the year 2000, the two traditional parts of the book have been gradually merged into online sub-find books, starting with the budget files of the specialist departments. Content characterization: The overdelivery of the RFM more or less comprehensively covers the entire range of tasks of the authority with the following overdelivery focal points: - Preparation of the Reich's budget, in particular files on the preparation of the budget of the specialist departments, on the Army, Navy and Colonial budgets, on the debt management of the Reich as well as on Reich guarantees, Reich participations, export credits, on banks, currency and foreign exchange matters - Organisational and administrative matters of the Reich Finance Administration, Real Estate and Reich Construction Administration, in particular v.a. files for the accommodation of the offices of the Reich Finance Administration, the Reich Real Estate Register as well as files for the utilization of military real-estate - customs duties, in particular files on customs legislation, on the handling of the customs tariff for individual goods and on trade relations with foreign countries - Reich taxes and excise duties, in particular Files on income and sales tax, on the Reich Valuation Act and Bodenschätzungsgesetz as well as on excise duties on spirits, tobacco, sugar and sweetener - state taxes, state and municipal finances, financial equalisation - settlement of the First World War, in particular reparations, Saar and occupation matters - armaments financing and war damage of both world wars The inventory includes approx. 4000 personnel files mainly of employees of the higher service in the RFM (approx. 600) and in the subordinate area State of development: Indexes Temporary indexes for Koblenz partial tradition Online index of household files A - Ar (2007) Online index of household files B - Lu (2006) Online index of household files F (2007/2008) Publication index of household files PM-Su (2005) Publication index of household files Ve-WM (2003) Citation method: BArch, R 2/...

Content: With the "Verordnung über die Anmeldung des jüdischen Vermögens" (Ordinance on the Registration of Jewish Property) of 26 April 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt 1938 I 414 f.), legal transactions with which Jews made dispositions over certain parts of their property became subject to approval. The main licensing authority in Baden was the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economics. The ¿Ordinance on the Use of Jewish Property¿ of 3 December 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt 1938 I, pp. 1709-1712) tightened this regulation in such a way that the licensing authority could expressly force the lawful owners to sell certain assets. In addition to ownership of commercial enterprises, real estate and securities, such conditions were also imposed on works of art with a value of over 1000 Reichsmark. The present inventory contains files on those individual cases in which the Baden Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs approved or instructed the so-called "aryanisation" of assets (predominantly commercial enterprises and real estate). There are also applications from individual citizens for the acquisition of companies or properties whose "Aryanization" was planned. There is also evidence of files on companies that had been victims of boycott measures against Jewish companies in 1933 as well as lists of controlled assets from the period after 1945.Karlsruhe, in February 2016Lutz Bannert Inventory history: The documents of the present inventory came to the General State Archive (access 1967-19) as a delivery from the Karlsruhe Regional Council and initially formed the inventory 505 "Aryanization files". Because these files were mainly created at the Baden Ministry of Finance and Economics, they were re-signed at the end of the 1990s to 237 entries 1967-19. Files with a term beginning after 1945 were created at successor authorities of the Ministry of Finance, i.e. at the President of the State District of Baden, Economics Department, or at the Economics Department of the North Baden Regional Council. They contain negative responses to requests from restitution authorities, courts and Jewish successor organizations for "Aryanization" files. Due to the connection in content with the files of the Ministry of Finance, they were left in their present form. Access to the files was provided by a file that was converted at the end of 2015 and then processed into an online finding aid. Karlsruhe, February 2016Dr. Martin Stingl

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.

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. Archival evaluation and processing The order of the files in the Findbuch follows the registration numbers assigned consecutively in the General Commissioner's registry according to the initial letter of the main keyword. Characterisation of the content: The majority of the records are individual files on the management of "enemy" assets, arranged alphabetically according to the names of the companies. 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. Content characterization: Tradition: Regulation of the operation of the Oberfinanzdirektion in general and the branch office 1934-1945, treatment of property in general 1938-1944, treatment of hostile property in Germany and in the countries and territories occupied by Germany 1940-1943, treatment of German property abroad (according to spheres of influence and countries A-Z) 1940-1944, treatment of Jewish property 1941-1944 (91) as well as property of individual persons and companies 1929-1945, prisen affairs in France 1940-1944, damage regulation 1935-1953.

History of the Inventory Designer: The Bank der Deutschen Arbeit was founded in 1933 in Berlin as a private specialist bank by the smashing of the banks for workers, employees, and civil servants, controlled by the German Labor Front (DAF). It took over the assets of the free and Christian trade unions. At first, its main function was to provide credit for job creation and settlement purposes, later the bank developed into a general credit bank with a large number of branches in the German Reich and the occupied territories.
