Inventory description: Dept. 159 Herrnsheimer Dalberg-Archiv (files, official books) Size: 1943 units of description (= 27 lfm = 201 archive cartons, 2 large cartons, 2 lfm oversized formats - own inventory: 1878 VE, remainder in Heylshof = 64 VE, with sub-VE in total) 2015) Duration: 1445 - 1866 Zur Familie und Herrschaft Dalberg (Note 1) The family of the chamberlains of Worms, later called 'von Dalberg', belonged as an influential family association to the episcopal ministry of Worms. Since 1239 she held the hereditary office of the chamberlain of Worms; this was later associated with economic-financial privileges in Worms, court rights and the Jewish Court in Worms. Since the 14th century, the family has succeeded in expanding various ownership complexes between Niederelsass and Hunsrück, with a focus on Wormsgau. This also includes the expansion of power in the towns of Herrnsheim and Abenheim, which began in the 14th century, through the acquisition of feudal rights and property (2). The dominion complex with Herrnsheim and Abenheim was predominantly surrounded by Electoral Palatinate territory. Around 1460 a castle was erected in Herrnsheim (castle) and a surrounding wall was built around the village; between 1470 and 1492 a chapel of the local parish church of St. Peter was converted into a burial place, which has led to the development of the situation of a small residential town in Herrnsheim, which can still be seen today from the buildings and the townscape. Today's Herrnsheim Castle, owned by the town of Worms since 1958, was built together with the important English landscape garden in two construction phases from 1808 to 1814 and from 1820 to 1824. The dominion of Dalberg is a typical middle imperial knighthood territory. Since the late Middle Ages, the Dalberg dynasty had provided the fiefdoms of the Electorate of Mainz and Palatinate and held important ecclesiastical offices, including the bishop of Worms, Johann von Dalberg (1445-1503). The family split into different lines and branches. Outstanding persons for whom the collection contains material are Carl Theodor von Dalberg (1744-1817, Elector of Mainz, Grand Duke of Frankfurt); Wolfgang Heribert von Dalberg (1750-1806, Minister of State in Mannheim, Director of the National Theatre); Johann Friedrich Hugo von Dalberg (1760-1812, bishop and humanist); Emmerich Joseph Duc de Dalberg (1773-1833, diplomat and politician). In 1883 John Dalberg-Acton sold Herrnsheim Castle with all its interior and the park from his family's estate to Cornelius Wilhelm Heyl (Cornelius Wilhelm Freiherr von Heyl zu Herrnsheim), a leather industrialist from Worms, due to financial shortages (3). Thus also the library stored there and the documents and files of the Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive of the previous owners were transferred to the buyer. After the death of his father in 1923, D. Dr. jur. Cornelius Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim took over the castle, which he officially moved into in April 1929 (4). In the years of the Second World War the documents were relocated several times for safety reasons and probably suffered incomprehensible, but rather smaller losses (5). Until it was converted into an apartment, the Dalberg Archive was housed in a special archive room locked with an iron door in the castle, then in the library in the tower room on the first floor. When Siegfried Freiherr von Heyl zu Herrnsheim, son of D. Dr. jur. Cornelius Frhr. Heyl zu Herrnsheim, sold the castle to the city of Worms in July 1958 (6), the documents, files and official books of the Dalberg archive kept in boxes and bundles were not part of the sale. However, it was to be left on loan to the town on the basis of an agreement with the community of heirs (in autumn 1959) and an inventory was to be taken before a corresponding contract was concluded (7). This work was done by Carl J. H. Villinger (8), who handed over his summary list with the disaggregation to Dr. Georg Illert on 3.7.1964 (9). The draft of the loan contract was completed to the satisfaction of both parties at the end of 1965, so that there was nothing to prevent it from being concluded the following year. On 19 July 1966, lawyer H. Ramge, in his capacity as joint executor of the will, surprisingly approached the city with the offer that it could purchase the Dalberg Archive and the library holdings of Herrnsheim Palace from the estate of D. Dr. jur. Cornelius Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim (10). With the support of the Landesarchivverwaltung Koblenz, which prepared an expert opinion on the basis of Villinger's list, the value was determined and one year later - in July 1967 - the documents were sold to the city. Thus, the Dalberg Archive, which according to the decree of the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate of 13.7.1961 had been entered into the state register of nationally valuable archives, could remain in Worms as a closed collection (11). A more detailed inventory should then be made, which was completed before the archive was moved to the city archive for security reasons. Villinger had compiled a detailed list of the contents of the 39 archive boxes, the qualitative condition of which was indicated from good to partly very poor, and of the remaining archive documents (12). On the basis of this list of Villingers, the lack of various documents and files as well as individual letters from correspondence series and gaps in official book series could be ascertained (13). In 1980 Siegfried Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim handed over 14 sealed parchment documents and in 1985 his daughter, Mrs. Cornelia von Bodenhausen, another 72, partly decorative documents from the former possession of the treasurers of Worms Freiherr von Dalberg to the Foundation Kunsthaus Heylshof (14). The documents kept there were examined with the consent of the then Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Frhr. Ludwig von Heyl, as part of the project for the Dalberg Regestensammlung under the auspices of Hess. Staatsarchivs Darmstadt microfilmed in Darmstadt in 1985 and included in the Regestenwerk (15). The further written material lying in the Heylshof such as files, correspondence etc. could be taken into account in the preparation of the present repertory (16). Some files, which were offered at an auction in Heidelberg in 1984, could be bought with the support of the Altertumsverein Worms (17). Also in 1994, with the financial support of the Kulturfonds der Wormser Wirtschaft, the city was able to acquire 23 official and accounting books from private sources, which were added to the collection. With the help of this material, gaps in existing series could be closed again. Among these acquisitions was also the inventory "Verzeichnis der Urkunden, Schriftstücke etc. des Kämmerer-Dalbergarchivs Schloß Herrnsheim...", compiled in 1919 by Heyl's librarian and archivist Wilhelm Graf, in which he [until then] had only recorded the documents (18). For the use and recording of the Dept. 159 This inventory, Dept. 159, comprises the Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive (files and official books), which, together with the other inventories, Dept. 159-U Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive (documents) and Dept. 159-P Dalberg Plan Collection, comprises the entire collection of the archive of the chamberlains of Worms Freiherr von Dalberg, formerly kept in the Herrnsheimer Palace. As a complex aristocratic archive within the holdings of the Worms City Archive, it is of supra-regional importance. It reflects the work of a knightly aristocratic family with its lordly function and family ties. After the takeover of the material by the city of Worms in 1967, the directory prepared by C. J. H. Villinger served as a finding aid for years. In the archive, the bundles and official books of No. 1 - No. 428 were numbered consecutively and recorded in a corresponding list. While the documents (No. 1 - No. 323, plus sub-numbers (19)) already registered in 1919 by the Heyl's librarian and archivist Wilhelm Graf in document folders with numbers and title entries were initially easy to use, the files and folders with short titles and box numbers contained in the remaining archive boxes were relatively reliably findable, but only vaguely citable due to missing individual signatures. After in the 1980s the processing of the Dalbergian document holdings in Darmstadt, Worms (Stadtarchiv, Heylshof, Pfarrarchiv Herrnsheim) and in other archives had been implemented under the auspices of the Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt, a more precise indexing of the files was started as a further project (20). Dr. Jürgen Rainer Wolf of the Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt processed the documents kept in the other archive boxes of the Worms Dalberg Archive, which were brought to Darmstadt for this purpose. However, only a part of the boxes (21) was opened, and each box was given a number with sub-numbers separated by slashes for the individual pieces contained therein. However, the work did not come to a conclusion. With immediate effect Wolf's finding aid, which also included official book series, had to be used in addition to the directory compiled by Villinger (22). From then on, the use of the holdings was regarded as a particular challenge, especially since there was also a link between the holdings of documents and files. This was because, at the time of the document project, the comprehensive record of documents also included the documents lying dormant in the files, the location of which was then not reliable or only difficult to secure (23). At the beginning of 2011, due to the unsatisfactory usability of the inventory on the one hand and due to the discontinuous and inconsistent depth of distortion on the other hand, the complete new distortion of the file inventory was decided and completed in October 2012. The signatures should not be changed completely, but as many as possible should be preserved and the link with existing old signatures by means of concordance should of course be guaranteed. The titles were recorded directly in the Augias archive program, at the same time the documents were embedded in acid-free archive folders and boxes. "The numbering of the convolutes was retained as signatures and, if necessary, sub-numbers separated by slashes were assigned as soon as the mostly extensive fascicles contained various individual folders. "The official records retained their signatures. "The Wolf's units of description with their signatures (no. 430/1ff - no. 440/1ff) were taken over, sifted through and the existing title recordings were deepened and supplemented on the basis of the newly recorded pieces. "Documents (24) possibly in the files, which were considered in the Dalberger Regesten volumes, were seized with the title admission both over the old signature, and usually with reference to the sequential number in the second volume of the Dalberger Regesten (25). "The further archive boxes not yet taken up by Wolf were continued and listed according to the given pattern, i.e. each further archive box received a new number (No. 442ff (26)) and the individual files, folders etc. preserved therein were provided with sub-numbers, separated by a slash. "The unlisted material found at the end of the inventory was then added with consecutive signatures. "The Dalberg letters purchased on various occasions in the 1970s, mainly letters from Carl Theodor von Dalberg, which had been integrated into the collection at the time, also remained with the new indexing in Dept. 159. " The documents kept at Kunsthaus Heylshof were recorded and selected pieces digitized (27). The digital copies were integrated in the Worms Municipal Archives into the collection of Dept. 159, since the pieces of their provenance can be attributed to the former Herrnsheim Dalberg Archive. In the case of the originals, the signatures of the city archives were noted, while the numbering used in the Heylshof (28) was recorded as an "old signature" in the title recording. This enables targeted access to the originals at Heylshof if required. "Within the scope of the registration work also the files of Dept. 159 N were dissolved (29) and inserted into Dept. 159 (now Dept. 159 No. 852 - No. 884). These are files, correspondence and family papers (mainly on the Petersau donation and the Tascher affair), which obviously also belonged to the Dalberg Archive in the past. These once formed the inventory of Dept. 158 of Dalberg, which must have existed before 1967, about its origin, i.e. (pre-)provenance before transfer into the archive, but no information is available. During the title recording it became apparent that the inventory did not have a coherent structure and that the development of a system would only make sense after completion of the work. The classification was finally drawn up on the basis of the main points of content. The assignment of each individual unit of description to the corresponding classification group then took place in a final work step, after the completion of which a real overview of the contents of the present tradition and its meaning in its entirety could be obtained. Contents The documents that were last kept in the library tower of Herrnsheim Castle before being transferred to the Worms City Archives essentially comprise archival documents relating to the Herrnsheim Dalberg Line. By the marriage (oo 12.1.1771) Wolfgang Heribert von Dalbergs with Elisabetha Augusta nee Ulner von Dieburg (30) as well as by connections of the Dalberger with other families further document and file material was added. The collection of Dept. 159 as part of the Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive comprises the file and official book tradition, the temporal focus of which clearly lies in the 18th and the first half of the 19th century. The early material (from 1249) is mostly copies of documents. A copy in which a large number of documents were recorded between 1249 and 1469 (31) deserves special mention here. Temporal "runaways" in the 20th century came about through subsequent additions to the holdings. On the one hand, various correspondences and records had been added sporadically at the time of the von Heyl family (32) and on the other hand, in connection with the purchase of Dalberg letters, the corresponding correspondence had been left with the letters (33). The most closed collection within the Dept. 159 is the archive material dating back to Emmerich Joseph von Dalberg (1773-1833). Due to the fact that with him the Herrnsheimer Dalberg line died out in the male tribe, after the death of his father Wolfgang Heribert all administrative matters of the Herrnsheimer line and after the death of his uncle Carl Theodor von Dalberg as his universal heir were incumbent upon him the order and administration of his inheritance including the Regensburg endowment. Furthermore and especially in Dept. 159 there is the diplomatic estate of the Duc de Dalberg with numerous memoirs, correspondence and rich material (targeted collection, own records etc.) on the (foreign) policy of France and other European countries. In addition, its business activities are richly reflected, not least in the activities of the Paravey Bank.

The documents in this collection were handed over by the Carmel Foundation to the Main State Archives in 2004. Content and evaluation Copies of documents about the Templar community and other Christian communities active in Palestine, compilations about individual persons, documents of the Foreign Office, copies of books and magazines of the 19th and 20th centuries with reference to Palestine, travel descriptions. The temple society is a Christian-chiliastic religious community that originated around 1850 in the Kingdom of Württemberg. On 19 and 20 June 1861 the representatives of the German synods of the "Jerusalem Friends" gathered. The decision was made to leave the church as a group. At the same time the "German Temple" was founded as an independent religious movement, since "none of the existing churches aspired to the production of man as the temple of God and the production of the sanctuary for all peoples in Jerusalem" (according to the founding declaration). Thus the aims of the German temple movement were clearly presented in this founding document. By "observing the law, the gospel, and the prophecy," the members were to make themselves a temple. In addition, the community moved to Palestine. It was certain that the end times were near. In Württemberg and the other German countries about 3000 people joined. In addition, there were trailers from Switzerland, Russia and North America. Christoph Hoffmann and Georg David Hardegg, who had meanwhile fallen out, left for Palestine with their families in 1868 and arrived in Haifa on 30 October 1868. Haifa was selected on the advice of the German consul Weber and a missionary named Huber. At that time Haifa was still an insignificant city of about 4000 inhabitants. In the spring of 1869, the two officially founded the Temple of Haifa as an outpost and reception station. Haifa In January 1869, the German settlers succeeded in acquiring land outside the city walls through the mediation of a citizen of the city. In the period from May to June 1869, three representatives of the "Temple" visited Haifa on behalf of the Board. After their return they advised to accept Hardegg's ideas for the Haifa colony. Hardegg planned to build a road along the already acquired plots, which were located 15 minutes outside the previous town. First, five houses were to be built on each side of the street. In order to provide shade for the settlers during the summer, trees should also be planted along the street. By 1870, the colony already had 14 houses and 120 settlers. Initially, the settlers were mainly engaged in agriculture and viticulture. However, the need to expand the infrastructure and the opportunities it offered were quickly recognised. Thus it was the Templars living in Haifa who set up a carriage service between Haifa and Akko and, with the support of the Latin monastery of Nazareth and some Arab landowners, extended the connection between Haifa and Nazareth and made it passable for carriages. In 1875 the road was finished and the Templars set up a lucrative carriage service that brought tourists and pilgrims to Nazareth. The Karmelhotel was the first modern hotel in Haifa to be built according to the ideas of the time. But one of the most important decisions of the Haifa temple community was made in 1872. A pier was to be built as an extension of the road in the Templar colony. Until then, Jaffa was the only port in Palestine. Since large ships, such as passenger ships, could not enter the port, all passengers had to be transferred in small fishing boats. It was a profitable business for the local population. Friedrich Keller was Imperial Vice Consul in Haifa from 1878 to 1908. His main merit was that after a long dispute with the Ottoman authorities and the Carmelite monks, the German settlement was allowed to be extended to Mount Carmel. Jaffa Only three months after the foundation of the Haifa temple church, there was already the opportunity to plant a church in Jaffa. Five buildings of a former American Adventist colony were acquired through the mediation of the merchant Peter Martin Metzler. Since the buildings included the Hotel Jerusalem with 19 rooms, a hospital with pharmacy and a steam mill, the colonists in Jaffa could quickly offer services to the local population and pilgrims. Next to the Hotel Jerusalem the Hotel du Parc of Baron Plato of Ustinov was opened. By the end of 1870 the Templar colony already had 110 inhabitants in Jaffa. At the beginning, the hotel was an essential source of income for the Templars of Jaffa. Jaffa was then the most important port in Palestine and almost all pilgrims disembarked in Jaffa to continue their journey inland. The carriage rides from the port of Jaffa to Jerusalem and the transport of fruit from their own plantations to the port were therefore important sources of income. The profitability of passenger transport is shown by the fact that in 1875 a separate company was founded for passenger transport. This company concluded a contract with the Cook agency in the same year. Then the Templars should make all the journeys for Cook. With the expansion of transport, the construction and repair of wagons also experienced an upswing. Arabs, too, recognised the opportunities for earning money through transport and founded their own companies. They bought their carriages and wagons in Germany. The Templar Hotel was extended and a department store was built, where wealthy Arabs, among others, bought goods. In 1886 the first settlement was extended by the northern settlement Walhalla. There an important small industry formed around the iron foundry and machine factory of the Wagner brothers from Mägerkingen. Another industrial enterprise was the cement production of the Wieland brothers from Bodelshausen. In 1904 the Immanuelkirche was consecrated, which was designed by the architect Paul Ferdinand Groth. Sarona On 18 August 1871, the Templar Society near the river Jarkon acquired land. The first settler families came to Sarona in 1872. But malaria prevented a rapid expansion of the colony. In 1873 malaria was considered to have been defeated in the surrounding area. The settlers had planted eucalyptus trees and drained the surrounding swamps. But the disease had claimed many victims up to that point. In 1875 there were only 80 settlers in Sarona. Sarona's main source of income was agriculture. Few found work at the passenger transport company of the colony Jaffa. After the expulsion of the Templar Germans from the new state of Israel in 1950, Sarona Hakirya, from 1948 to 1955, became Israel's first seat of government and today a residential district of Tel Aviv. Some of the buildings are still accessible; they are located on Kaplan Street just before it joins Petah-Tiqvah Road. The largest part of the former Templar settlement lay for decades in the restricted area of the Ministry of Defence. The second official seat of the head of government is still located in one of the twelve of about one hundred former Templar houses. Jerusalem Already at the beginning of the 1870s some Templars moved to Jerusalem. Jerusalem, however, was far from becoming a Templar colony. The acquisition of land outside the old town at the upper end of the Rafaiter plain in 1873 and the following years did not change this. Also the considerations of the temple leadership at this time to transfer the leadership of the society to Jerusalem had no effect. There were about 100 Templars in Jerusalem in 1875. A "colony" could not yet be spoken of at this time, although the aim of emigration was to build a spiritual temple in Jerusalem. In 1878 the management of the Temple Society and the seat of the Temple Monastery, a training centre for young Templars, was moved from Jaffa to Jerusalem. This attracted many Templar families to Jerusalem, so that a colony could establish itself. This step towards Jerusalem marked the first completion of the first phase of the Templar occupation of Palestine. Wilhelma, Bethlehem Galilee, Waldheim The Wilhelma colony was established near Jaffa in 1902. In 1906, land for settlement was acquired in Galilee near Nazareth and the Bethlehem-Galilee colony, today Beit Lehem HaGlilit, was built on it. Both settlements, first Wilhelma, which is now called Bnei Atarot, and later also Bethlehem, which was developed only hesitantly, developed into model agricultural settlements. Mennonite Templars from southern Russia settled in Wilhelma next to the Templars. A third settlement, Waldheim, located in the immediate vicinity of Bethlehem in Württemberg, was founded by the German Protestant congregation of Haifa, which had split off from the temple society; it received help from the Society for the Promotion of German Settlements in Palestine m.b.H., based in Stuttgart. The collection documents the history of the German settlers in Palestine as well as the political conflicts in the settlement area in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The inventory comprises 144 units of description with approx. 3.5 linear metres. In April 2016 Peter Bohl

Introduction Repository 69, maritime matters, was created in 1781, in particular for the archives created by the development of maritime law during the naval war (1778-1783) between England and its allies France, Spain and, at times, the Netherlands as a result of the American War of Independence, under the Secret Council. Among other things, Prussia played a role in these conflicts in that it formed a league of neutral states under the leadership of Russia together with Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, Austria and at times the Netherlands. The participating states were united with Russia through bilateral conventions on "armed maritime neutrality" (for Prussia Convention of 19 May 1781). The initiative was mainly directed against the search of neutral ships for counter gangs. Probably before 1877 larger parts of the holdings were distributed to other repositories, among other things the files on consular matters in the holdings at that time were transferred to Reposituren I. HA Secret Council, Rep. 9 General Administration and Rep. 11 External Relations. In Rep. 69 only a part of the archival documents of importance for armed maritime neutrality remained. This processing status was recorded in the Red Book vol. IV. In connection with maritime neutrality and shipping matters, the following stocks are also referred to: - I. HA Secret Council, Rep. 9 General Administration, Lit. L Appropriations and Lit. Z Appropriations of Residents and Agents; - I. HA Secret Council, Rep. 11 Foreign Relations, in particular: No. 171 - 175 Moscow (Russia), No. 118 Maritime Neutrality 1781 - 1784, Fasz. A-E No. 66 - 70 Denmark, No. 73 Fasz. C (Ministerial Correspondence with Envoy Bismarck) - I. HA, Rep. 96 Secret Civil Cabinet, Older Period, No. 22 Lit. G (Correspondence with Prussian Envoy Bismarck in Denmark) No. 41 Lit. E-I and No. 42 Lit. A-B (same with Thulemeier in The Hague) No. 103 Lit. E-I (Briefwechsel Friedrichs II. mit der dänischen Königin Juliane Marie) No. 110 P, Vol. II. (Schriftwechsel Friedrichs II. mit Kaiserin Katharina II. von Rußland) No. 202 Lit. A-I (fernere Immediatberichte) No. 424 H (Proposal for a Trade Agreement with Russia) - II. HA Directorate-General, Dept. 3 Department General, Tit. XXVI Foreign Affairs - II. HA General Directorate, Dept. 21 East Frisia, Title LXXII Shipping Matters - I. HA Privy Council, Rep. 11 Treaties, No. 332, 335, 869 (Treaty with Sweden of 1782). The remaining Rep. 69, maritime neutrality and shipping matters, essentially comprises correspondence on dealing with the warring states and on implementing the declarations on maritime neutrality. The following contents are primarily handed down: - issue of sea passes for the identification of Prussian merchant ships (court sea passes were issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs, in contrast to simple sea passes issued by the magistrates and subordinate colleges) - annual submission of ship lists about the stay of Prussian ships in foreign ports by consuls there (usually only the reports for submitting the ship lists are still available). The stock comprises 0.5 linear metres, or 60 archive units and a duration of 20 years (1778 - 1798). During the processing the two foreign archive units found here were classified into the I. HA Secret Council, Rep. 7 B West Prussia. The reference slips have been combined to form the indexing unit no. 60, which is currently stored in the outer magazine and can be ordered as follows: I. HA GR, Rep. 69, No... and to quote: GStA PK, I. HA Privy Council, Rep. 69 Maritime neutrality and shipping matters, No...
