28th Cavalry Brigade: The 28th Cavalry Brigade was formed on 01.07.1871 from the former Baden Cavalry Brigade. First the Dragoner regiments 20 and 22 were subordinated to the brigade. From 1890 the brigade was assigned the Dragoner Regiment 21 to replace the retiring Dragoner Regiment 22. At the time of the mobilization the unit with the regiments assigned to it was subordinated to the 6th Cavalry Division. From February to 10 April 1917 the staff was known as the "Brigade Graf Spee". On 21 May 1918 the unit was renamed Kavallerie-Schützen-Kommando 28. The formation was deployed until 03.11.1914 on the western theater of war and afterwards until March 1918 on the eastern theater of war. From April 1918 it was used again in the West. The commanding generals were:1871 to 1875major General of Willisen1875 to 1882major General Count of Lynar1882 to 1883major General of Hänisch1883 to 1885major General of Strantz1885 to 1888major General Edler of Planitz1888 to 1892major General Baron of Schleinitz1892 to 1893major General of Nickischisch1888 to 1892major General of Schleinitz1892 to 1893major General of Nickischisch1882 to 1883major General of Hänisch1883 to 1885major General of Strantz1885 to 1888major General of Planitz1888 to 1892major General Baron of Schleinitz1892 to 1893major General of NickischischRosenegk1893 to 1897 Major General from Rabe1897 to 1900 Major General Count von Klinckowström1900 to 1903 Major General from Hausmann1903 to 1908 Major General from Keller1908 to 1912 Major General Maximilian Alexander Prince from Baden1912 to 1913 Major General from Arnim1913 to 20.09.1916 Major General Udo von Selchow20.09.1916 to 27.02.1918 Colonel Heribert Count of Spee27.02.1918 to 27.09.1918 Colonel Karl Count of Kageneck03.10.1918 to 08.02.1919Lieutenant Colonel Konrad von Stotzingen.

January 1919 in the Free State Baden the new formation of the Baden people's army began with the acceptance of volunteers. As a reaction to the so-called "Spartacus Uprising" in February 1919, the Reich and Badische Volksregierung had further voluntary associations set up at all units in addition to the existing voluntary formations. 29th Cavalry Brigade: The 29th Cavalry Brigade was set up on 01.07.1871 with its official seat in Freiburg. First the Dragoner regiments 14 and 21 were subordinated to the brigade. From 1890 she was assigned the Dragoner Regiment 22 for Dragoner Regiment 21, which was retiring from the federation. In 1899 the office moved from Freiburg to Mulhouse in Alsace. The Hunter Regiment on Horse No. 5 was assigned to the Brigade for the Dragoner Regiment 14 after its establishment in 1908. The Brigade Staff was disbanded during the mobilization in 1914 and was only re-established in January 1919. For this reason there are no files available for the period from August 1914 to December 1918.The commanding generals were:1871 to 1873General major of Reckow1873 to 1881General major August Count of Solms-Wildenfels1881 to 1886General major of Meyerinck1886 to 1890General major of Knesebeck1890 to 1892General major of Diepenbroick-Grüter1892 to 1895 Major General of Lieres and Wilkau1895 to 1898 Major General of Kuhlmay1898 to 1900 Colonel Seederer1900 to 1902 Major General Knight of Longchamps-Berier1902 to 1904 Major-General of Rothkirch and Panthen1904 to 1905 Colonel of Rauch1905 to 1908 Major-General of Koppe1908 to 1910 Major-General of Bernuth1919 to 1913 Major-General of Dumrath1913 to 1914 Colonel of Graevenitz Inspection of the Replacement Escadrillas of the XIV century Army Corps: The replacement escadrilles left behind during the mobilization of the cavalry regiments leaving for the field to ensure the replacement were subject to the inspection of the replacement escadrilles of the XIV Army Corps, which was established analogously to the mobilization plan. The inspection was also responsible for the reserve replacement escadron newly set up during the mobilization, which was, however, dissolved again with the reduction of the cavalry formations in 1917. One of the main tasks of the inspection was to supervise the training and the horse material. In December 1918 the formation was dissolved during the demobilisation. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files of the staff of the 28th Cavalry Brigade and the inspection of the replacement escadrilles of the XIV Army Corps remained at the settlement office of the Dragoner Regiment 20 as well as the files of the staff of the 29th Cavalry Brigade at the Dragoner Regiment 22. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps was begun, in which the archives of the settlement offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archives Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 64 fascicles with a volume of 1.50 bibliographical references are included in the holdings: Die Badener im Weltkrieg 1914/18, edited by Wilhelm Müller-Loebnitz, Karlsruhe 1935.German Military History in six volumes 1648-1939, edited by the Militärgeschichtlichen Forschungsamt Freiburg, Munich 1983.Fenske, Hans: Die Verwaltung im Ersten Weltkrieg, in: Deutsche Verwaltungsgeschichte, vol. 3, Stuttgart 1984, p. 866-908.Fischer, Joachim: Zehn Jahre Militärarchiv des Hauptstaatsarchivs Stuttgart, in: Zeitschrift für Württembergische Landesgeschichte 37 (1978), p. 362-368.Jäger, Harald: Das militärische Archivgut in der Bundesrepublik für die Zeit von 1871 bis 1919, in: Militärgeschichtliche Mitteilungen 1968/2, S. 135-138.Overview of the holdings of the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart, edited by Joachim Fischer (published by the Staatliche Archivverwaltung Baden-Württemberg, vol. 31), Stuttgart 1983.

Division history: The 28th Infantry Division was set up on 01.07.1871 in the XIV Army Corps. At the beginning of the war, the division belonged to the General Command of the XIV Army Corps, analogous to the peace organization. It was responsible for the 55th and 56th Infantry Brigades, the 28th Field Artillery Brigade, the Hunter Regiment on Horse No. 5 and the 2nd and 3rd Company of Pioneer Battalion No. 14. From May 1919 the 28th Infantry Division formed the Resolution Staff 53.The infantry divisions were the lowest command authorities, which had a general staff. The commanding generals were: Lieutenant General Kurt von Kehler since the beginning of the war to 10.01.1915 Major General Franz von Trotta called Treyden11.01.1915 to 07.07.1916 Major General Hermann Heidborn08.07.1916 to 19.08.1916 Lieutenant General Felix Langer19.08.1916 to 18.02.1918 Major General Hans von Wolff19.02.1918 (Illness)Major General Kurt Prinz von Buchau20.02.1918 to 29.05.1918 Major General Gustav Böhm 31.05.1918 to 12.06.1918 Major General Emil Hell13.06.1918 to 06.09.1918 Major General Rudolf from the East07.09.1918 until the demobilisation.In the Free State of Baden the new formation of the Baden People's Army began on 13 January 1919 with the acceptance of volunteers.

Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained at the processing office of the Leib-Grenadier-Regiment 109. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps began, in which the archives of the processing offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921.

The Ministry of the Interior, created by the Decree of 10 October 1849, was the supreme head of the internal administration of the Land, insofar as it did not fall within the remit of other ministries or the State Ministry. The Ministry was in charge of the supervision of all local authorities and was entrusted with the management of the sovereign police force and the supervision of all police authorities and institutions. His tasks also included the handling of economic and general agricultural matters, including the regulation of property, farm and day labour relations, transport, association and press matters, the administration of roads and hydraulic engineering as well as social services. In addition, the Ministry's portfolio included citizenship matters, border and electoral matters, as well as civilian administration matters related to the military. Essentially, the business circle of the Ministry remained unchanged until 1945. It was extended in 1875 to include the civil status system. In 1905, the Ministry of Justice, Department of Education, transferred the affairs of the technical and commercial technical and further education school system from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of the Interior. During the First World War, the Ministry was responsible for controlling the food supply and the war economy, and after the war it was responsible for civilian demobilization. In 1919 the newly founded Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests (see 5.12-4/2) took over the handling of agricultural matters, including rural labour and ownership, and in 1937 also agricultural water matters. There are gaps in the file tradition. Major losses were caused by the fire in the government building in 1865. At the beginning of 1945, files from 1933 to 1945 were deliberately destroyed in the Ministry. Most of the files of the Department of Social Policy from the period after 1918 were also lost. A.

As a reaction to the so-called "Spartacus Uprising" in February 1919, the Reich and Badische Volksregierung had further voluntary associations set up at all units in addition to the existing voluntary formations. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained with the settlement office of the infantry regiment 142. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps began, in which the archives of the settlement offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart after the end of World War II, handed over the records of the XIV Army Corps to the Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe between 1947 and 1949. The infantry brigade for the period before the First World War is preserved in fonds 456 F 62.

Explanation: The company was run under this name as its own business since 1888 by Johann Karl Vietor, but was able to make use of the branches in Ghana, Togo, Dahomey, Cameroon, Liberia and Guinea, which had been founded by other members of the Vietor family since 1857. After the severe setback in the First World War, the company was rebuilt in Liberia, Ghana and Togo, but this was destroyed by the world economic crisis, so that the company died out in 1932. It was partly in close contact with other companies co-founded by J. K. Vietor. Content: Business papers before the First World War, in particular land purchases, inventories, insurance of factories in Togo (Anedlo, Palime, Lomé), in Ghana (Keta) and in Dahomey (Porto Novo) - Complete company registration after the First World War, in particular Reich compensation for war and colonial damage, correspondence with other companies and own branches - Liquidation

Brigade Staff: At the beginning of the war, the 84th Brigade belonged to the 29th Infantry Division. The infantry regiments 169 and 170 were subject to it. From March 1915 the staff was separated from the above-mentioned association and used for the formation of the staff of the 104th Infantry Brigade. After the end of the war the mobile staffs took over the tasks of the dissolving deputy units, the deputy command was again given the designation 84th Infantry Brigade. In May 1919, the Brigade Staff was used to form Resolution Staff 55. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained with the settlement office of the Infantry Regiment 169. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps began, in which the archives of the settlement offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archives Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 26 fascicles with a circumference of 0.60 linear metres are included in the holdings.

History of the Inventor: In January 1915, the Hamburgische Landesverein vom Roten Kreuz and the Frankfurter Verein vom Roten Kreuz joined forces through the Prussian Ministry of War with the aim of bringing about a unified working group of all those involved in the investigation of missing persons and the care of prisoners. For the investigation of missing persons the name "Ausschuss für deutsche Kriegsgefangene" was chosen and for the care of prisoners the name "Hilfe für kriegsgefangene Deutsche". By May 1915 it had been possible to combine all the major Red Cross associations in Germany into a single working group. In September 1915, the Working Group and the Central Committee of the German Red Cross Associations in Berlin agreed on the principles of their respective responsibilities in the areas of missing persons investigation and prisoner welfare. The two headquarters in Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main became official information centres in the sense of the Hague Land Warfare Ordinance; at the same time they were attached to the Central Evidence Bureau of the Prussian War Ministry. Their tasks included the search for missing soldiers, the procurement of official death certificates and the improvement of postal traffic with prisoners of war. In addition, the Committee for German Prisoners of War of the Frankfurt Association of the Red Cross endeavored to provide information in the occupied territories of France, Russia, and Romania and to improve the situation of foreign prisoners of war in Germany. In July 1916, Rudolf Lismann, a senior member of the Committee for German POWs of the Frankfurt Association of the Red Cross, founded the Archive of the Committee for German POWs, later the Archive for POW Research. His aim was to produce a comprehensive documentation of the prisoners of war of the First World War from a uniform point of view. The collection areas included the relief organizations of the Red Cross associations, missing persons, prisoners of war and civilians, the position of prisoners under international law, refugees, hostages and refugees.

Preliminary remark: At the beginning of the First World War, the German field army was divided into nine armies according to the mobilization plans, seven of which marched on the German western border, the eighth in East Prussia. The Supreme Army Command (OHL) already had to learn in the first months of the war that the original concept of the leadership - direct instructions to the army high commandos under its command - led to considerable frictional losses due to the increase in the mass of troops. Early on, army groups were set up as distinct intermediate instances of the higher leadership in order to subject the military administrative tasks to central completion in addition to the uniform conduct of operations. On 25 February 1917, the Württemberg War Ministry was given the order to set up a new army group under the supreme command of Duke Albrecht of Württemberg, the previous commander-in-chief of the 4th Army. Like the other three army groups in the West, "Crown Prince of Bavaria", "German Crown Prince" and "Gallwitz", it was intended to facilitate the organisational preparation and implementation of the major planned Western offensives. With the establishment of the Herzog Albrecht Army Group, the Army Divisions A and B operating in the southern part of the Western Front were merged with the fortresses of Metz and Strasbourg, which had previously been under the control of the German Crown Prince Army Group, and placed under the control of the new Army Group. It thus encompassed an area from the Swiss border in the south via the almost unchanged frontal course in the Sundgau and the Vosges Ridge, which had remained virtually unchanged since August 1914, along the Franco-German border to the area of Pont-à-Mousson. The command area is almost identical with the Alsace-Lorraine Reichslanden, which had been incorporated into the German Reich since 1871. Strasbourg became the seat of the High Command of the Army Group, and the head of the General Staff of the Royal Bavarian Army. Lieutenant General Krafft v. Dellmendingen, previously Commanding General of the German Alpine Corps, was appointed. From September 9, 1917, the Colonel i. G. Heye took office as his successor. The subordination of the individual units was regulated by the regulation "Subordination of the Army Forces of the West", 1917, issued by the Chief of the General Staff of the Field Army (cf. After the conclusion of the armistice agreements and the associated demobilization, the High Command of the now Army Group D moved its headquarters to Freudenstadt with a subcommand in Durlach/Karlsruhe. In the spring of 1919, both the Army Group and its descendants were finally dissolved, and the files were transferred from the Heilbronn branch of the Reich Archive to the Stuttgart branch of the Reich Archive. In September 1921, even before even a cursory list was drawn up by the military officers working there, parts of the holdings - above all the documents on the "Vaterländischen Unterricht" (fatherland instruction), on the reconnaissance of the troops and on the defence against "American propaganda" - were sent to the Reichsarchiv Potsdam, where they apparently became a pillage of flames together with the rest of the archive during the last days of World War II. In 1923 and 1924, the holdings were recorded for the first time in a list at the Reichsarchiv branch in Stuttgart.1931 large parts of the holdings were temporarily transferred to the Heeresarchiv Potsdam; however, they were not completely returned to the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart, as the Reichsarchiv branch had been called since 1936. For the holdings of the Herzog Albrecht Army Group, only the listing of the archival records from 1923/24 was available as an archival finding aid. It by no means met the requirements placed on modern archive finding aids, especially as it had become unclear and hardly usable due to numerous entries. In the months of May 1988 - March 1989, therefore, a comprehensive new indexing and first structuring of the existing archive holdings took place. Its new formation was based on the business distribution plan of the Supreme Command of the Army Group of 15 October 1917 (cf. Bü 346). Within the individual departments, a factual order was carried out by the processor. A few foreign provenances were separated and included in the corresponding holdings of the Stuttgart Military Archives. A concordance between the new order number and the old tuft number in the previous file index allows the retrieval of already cited archival documents. The present finding aid book was completed with the help of the MIDOSA program package of the State Archive Administration Baden-Württemberg in Karlsruhe in the months of August 1990 to March 1991. The stock now comprises 377 order numbers in 15.1 linear metres. The index refers to the order numbers, i.e. the sequence of title entries in the present Findbuch.Karlsruhe, April 1991Kurt Hochstuhl

On the history of Army High Command 7: The deployment plan for the West Army in a future war against France in 1914 provided for the formation of a total of seven armies on the German western border. The 7th Army, whose jurisdiction extended from the Hagenau-Saarburg line to the Alsatian-Swiss border, had the task of ensuring the protection of the left flank of the Western Army and thus guaranteeing the three so-called encircling armies (1 - 3, see Schliefen Plan) corresponding lateral protection. This 7th Army, which was under the command of the General Colonels of Heeringen, was assigned the General Command of the XV AK (Strasbourg), the General Command of the XIV AK (Karlsruhe) and the General Command of the XIV Reserve Corps at fighting formations. With the exception of a few Prussian and Württemberg troops, most of which were in the 28th Reserve Division, the 55th Mixed Replacement Brigade and the 55th Landwehr Brigade, the majority of the 7th Army (in addition to the units of the XV AK) consisted of the Baden troops of the XIV AK and the XIV Reserve Corps.With these troops, in one of the first battles of the world war, Colonel General von Herringen succeeded in stopping the advance of French units on the Rhine border and throwing them back from the Alsatian plain to the Vosges ridges. the transition from the war of movement to the war of positions, combined with the accelerated exchange of troops within the various army corps and armies, blurred the clear assignability of certain units to larger units. With the calming of the Upper Alsace and Vosges Front in the winter of 1915, larger parts of the fighting Baden troops were withdrawn from the area of responsibility of the 7th Army and replaced by Landwehr formations (also Baden, but also Württemberg, Bavarian and Prussian). These units, which were deployed at almost all theatres of war in the West, generally remained under the command of the 7th Army High Command. While the army groups and army fronts were pronounced intermediate instances of the higher leadership, the "Army High Commands" as command authorities combined combat command with administrative tasks. Their army area was divided into the "operational area" and the "stage" in which the supply facilities of the army were stationed. The allocation of army troops (pioneers, transport troops and air forces) was based on the respective operational objectives and also varied in the area of the 7th Armed Forces. In 1914, however, the air force department, field airship department, telegraph department and a radio command with two heavy radio stations belonged to the "basic equipment" of every army. Inventory history: The knowledge about the original jurisdiction of the 7th Army and the troops that formed it will have been decisive for the fact that the military tradition of this large formation was not transferred to the army archive in Potsdam after the end of the First World War, but remained in the Heilbronn branch archive and later in the army archive in Stuttgart. From there, the closed collection was transferred to the General State Archives in 1949 as part of the transfer of "Baden" military provenances (for the archive history of the XIV Army Corps tradition, see the preliminary remarks on Repertory 456 F 8 - Deputy General Command XIV Army Corps). Order and Distortion: The present inventory was recorded in 1985 by Heinrich Raab, a long-time administrator of the inventory group 456. The title recordings available on index cards were then sorted according to departments in accordance with the military business distribution plan and according to subjects within the departments. When the holdings were repackaged in acid-free archive containers, the undersigned checked and partially supplemented the title records, but the internal order of the holdings was largely retained. In addition, file fascicles found in other holdings of the inventory group 456 were integrated into the inventory according to provenance. Karlsruhe, August 1990Kurt Hochstuhl

Formation history: The Baden artillery brigade set up on 01.07.1871 was renamed to 14th field artillery brigade on 18.07.1872. It received on 01.10.1899 the new designation 28. field artillery brigade. The field artillery regiments 14 and 50 were assigned to it, and in February 1917 the higher artillery command was reorganized. The previous staffs of the field artillery brigades were dissolved and an artillery commander was formed for each division as commander of the entire artillery belonging to and assigned to it. As a result of this reorganization, on 28.02.1917 the association received the designation Artillery Commander 28. The commanders of the formation were: Mobilisation until 24.12.1914 Major General Siegfried Fabarius24.12.1914 until 27.10.1917 Major General Karl von Herff28.10.1917 until 23.05.1918 Lieutenant Colonel Richard von Laer23.05.1918 until 16.02.1919 Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig Bissinger.The unit was subject to the following higher staffs during the war: mobilisation until 04.10.191628.
