Brief description: In the second half of the 19th century, the municipal administration became increasingly differentiated. Little by little, individual municipal offices were established instead of the council deputations that had been active up to then. Portfolio 10 Depot A contains the files of the administrative offices (in contrast to the technical and building offices, which can be found in portfolio 11 Depot B). Scope: 5604 units/155 linear metres Content: files on land register, guardianship, municipal and commercial court, seizure, registry office; city relations with king and country; citizenship and emigration; municipal residents; military; statistics; celebrations and anniversaries; savings, insurance and provident funds; welfare and charity; fire protection; agriculture and forestry; public facilities and squares; trades and guilds; measure and weight; transport. In the Second World War they were lost: Files on the subjects of medicine, police, church, education, sport, art, science, sociability, financial management. Duration: 1504 - 1949 Instructions for use: The 10 Depot A portfolio was provided with new, simple signatures in 2006/2007. If you are looking for units of stock using the old signatures, please note the notes in the preface. Foreword: Notes on use The title recordings of the Depot A holdings correspond to the original titles of the files as they were noted on the file covers. Since the contents of the files were not checked when the holdings were recorded at the time, the contents of a file may therefore go beyond the title given or contain only general or indirect information on the subject given (e.g. only newspaper cuttings). When searching for relevant documents, it makes sense to carry out a broad search in terms of content. Similarly, when searching via classification, it should be noted that the respective assignment of the units to a classification point was originally very abstract and therefore different points should be considered. Occasionally, file covers do not contain any documents. As a rule, these are the units that do not have a scope. Exceptions are possible, however, as units were inadvertently omitted during surveying. The portfolio was renumbered in 2006/2007 and the units consecutively numbered (for details see next page "Further information on the portfolio"). The signatures 1281, 2560 to 2659, and 5233 were not assigned. A concordance of the old and new signatures can be found in the appendix to the inventory. Extensive units were divided for better manageability during the re-signing process. Divisions can be identified by the note "Continuation No. ..." or "Continuation of No. ...". Existing page numbers in the title were not adjusted. Numbers 5535-5602 follow number 2814 in the Findbuch, but it should be noted that in the case of the duration information, the entire time frame of the event or topic covered by the file was often given, or in the case of personal units (especially personal files and honorary citizen files) the life data of the person concerned and not the dates of the documents contained. Due to losses during the Second World War, about half of the original stock has been preserved. The collection comprises a total of 5530 units with a running time of 1504 to 1949, with a focus on the period from the beginning of the 19th century to the 1930s. When ordering units, you need the following information: 10 - Unit number If you refer to documents from the inventory, please attach a source reference according to this sample: City Archive Stuttgart - 10 - Number of Unit Further information on the holdings History of the authorities Around 1870 the central administrative and notarial registry of the city of Stuttgart was established, as well as a separate building registry for the building and building police department with the technical offices. The main tasks included the administration of the files, the keeping of diaries with entry of entries and exits, the supervision of appointments, the examination of the newspapers for articles concerning the city administration and the appropriate forwarding of these, as well as the preparation of various lists and the execution of other activities, often not belonging to the direct field of duties. The "administrative registry" and the "building registry" were merged into the "registry" office in 1912 by municipal council resolution. Some of the previous tasks were transferred to other departments of the city administration. Until the 1930s, however, the two registries were kept separate despite the merger. During the gradual departure of the municipal offices from the town hall, the older, no longer needed documents were left there and thus formed the main part of the two registries. History of the holdings In the course of the foundation of the Stuttgart City Archive on 01.10.1928, the existing archive holdings were divided into a historical archive and an administrative archive. The period 1820-1850 was defined as the approximate boundary between the two archives. The administrative archives contained above all the two large registries that had grown up at the head office: firstly, the administrative registry of the city, known in the archives as Depot A, and the building registry, known in the archives as Depot B. These holdings were supplemented in the archives after 1945 by mostly older documents that were thematically related but of a different origin (provenance). These additions were not marked in detail, a reconstruction of the holdings with regard to their origin (according to the provenance principle usual today) would be theoretically possible due to the original file covers which are usually still preserved. The holdings Depot A is thus a kind of thematic collection, in which however 90 documents correspond to the provenance principle. The duration of the collection covers the period from 1504 to 1949, with the focus ranging from the beginning of the 19th century to the middle of the 1930s. The preserved documents of the administrative registry of the city of Stuttgart (Depot A), which was established around 1870, together with the building registry (Depot B), represent the central file on the history of Stuttgart up to approx. 1935. The original registry signatures were largely retained in the archive until 2007 as archive signatures and the signature system for the documents thematically supplemented in the archive (see above) was extended accordingly if required. The depot A comprises the main groups already formed in the registry A. Justice Administration B. Regiminal Administration C. Police Administration D. Church system E. Education F. Care of sociability and entertainment G. Financial administration These are files of all areas of activity of the city administration. After the Second World War, Bruno Lenz ordered and recorded the files of the collection. For this purpose, the files were recorded in the order of the registry with the registry numbers specified in the file plan and a short title taken from the envelope of the respective Federation of Files, without, however, checking the contents of the file. A more detailed property and person index with details of the units was completed by Robert Starnitzki in 1969. This can be seen in the reading room of the city archive, but it refers to the old signatures. Processing of the holdings 2006/2007 The original finding aid book of the holdings Depot A with a total of 5530 units, available in typewritten form in 3 volumes, was transferred from September 2006 to February 2007 to the Augias 8 indexing software by Gerd Lange under the supervision of Sabine Schrag and Christina Wewer. Unusual abbreviations within the original find book were resolved. The following changes were made to the portfolio: New signatures: In preparation for the transfer of the find books, Volker Hauptfleisch resigned the old registry signatures, which continued to be used in the archive and consisted of upper and lower case letters and Roman and Arabic numerals, to simple, consecutive Arabic numerals in the order of the old signatures. In this way, the ordering of files is simplified for the user and confusion is avoided. The original signatures reflected the file plan and/or the table of contents (also classification or systematics) of the existence with its hierarchical and logical stages. Below these logical levels, the units were numbered consecutively in volumes (these were not bound volumes, but a further logical subdivision), and below them again in individual numbers, which represented the actual orderable units. Example: B I, 5, vol. 1 no. 1 The last level (no.) is occasionally divided into further units by lower-case letters. Through the re-signing the signature B I, 5, vol. 1, no. 1 became the signature no. 770. The old signature was noted at each unit. Due to an oversight during the re-signing, a gap of 100 numbers has arisen in the new numbering. The numbers 1281, 2560 to 2659 were not assigned. The number 2559 is therefore directly followed by the number 2660. The number 5233 was also not assigned. In some cases, signatures were assigned twice. Letters were attached to these signatures in order to identify them unambiguously (example: No. 1870 a and No. 1870 b). These letter annexes therefore do not refer to a substantive connection between the units. Units which were lost by other means only after the war losses were marked with the note "missing", partly with the date when the absence was discovered. They will continue to be listed in the search book in order to record which files were originally available. In a few cases, numbers were accidentally assigned to units that no longer existed. The units were also measured during the relocation and the circumference was given in cm (with a few exceptions). The units no. 5535-5602 (old signatures B IX, 1, vol. 1, no. 10a, reg. no. 1 to B IX, 1, vol. 1, no. 10a) already follow the number 2814 in the find book. Revised classification: The classification (table of contents, systematics) was adapted to the same extent as the signatures: instead of combinations of letters and numbers, a hierarchically structured system consisting of Arabic numerals was used. The classification point C VIII 3 d aa became, for example, 03.08.03.04.01. The classification or the table of contents of the original search book is based on the file plan of the administrative registry. In the appendix volume of the inventory all original classification points are contained, in the table of contents of the present finding aid book only those classification points were specified, to which documents exist. Documents that no longer existed were destroyed by the effects of war. The classification points, which are thus no longer occupied by units, are an important indication of what documents were once available in the city administration. Overall, more than half of the classification points are no longer documented. The classification point 01.03.03. Guardianship, inheritance and notary system was supplemented during the software input by further subitems, since in the original find book such a division was already given by headings.

Brief description: In October 1979, the local council decided to establish a collection of urban history with a special focus on the 20th century within the framework of a contract for work. The task of this institution should not only be a collection of material, but primarily the preparation and presentation of contemporary historical themes in exhibitions. In April 1980 the journalist and historian Dr. Karlheinz Fuchs was entrusted with this task. A public appeal by the then Lord Mayor Manfred Rommel in the spring of 1982 for the handing over of documents and objects from the Nazi era was met with great approval by the public, so that numerous objects could be handed over to the employees for their exhibitions. In addition, contemporary witnesses were available for interviews. Between August 1982 and December 1984, five exhibitions on the subject of "Stuttgart in the Third Reich" were shown. When the project was discontinued in 1984, an exhibition was still pending ("Stuttgart in War - the Years from 1939 to 1945"). Under the auspices of historian Dr. Marlene Hiller of the Library for Contemporary History, this was made up on the occasion of the 50th return of the outbreak of war in 1989. Scope: 1100 units / 6.1 linear metres Content: Documents: Documents on the establishment of the project Contemporary History and its staff; Planning and realisation of the exhibitions; Collection of exhibition objects; Loans, donations and purchases for the exhibitions; Interviews with contemporary witnesses Photographs: Photos from the exhibitions; photos, contact prints, negatives, slides and photo albums from the Nazi era, audio cassettes and tapes: interviews with contemporary witnesses, original recordings from the Nazi era, radio broadcasts, accompanying music in the exhibitions, videos and films: Interviews with contemporary witnesses, documentaries, feature films and television films, recordings of the project Zeitgeschichte Bücher: Bücher aus der NS-Zeit as well as books about the NS period Posters and plans from the NS period Duration: (1891-) 1979-1990 Instructions for use: Some units are still subject to a 30-year blocking period; three personal units are subject to special blocking periods; many photo units are subject to copyright; some units are blocked for conservation reasons. Foreword: History of the project In October 1979, the local council decided to build up a collection of urban history with a special focus on the 20th century. The task of this institution should not only be a collection of material, but first and foremost the preparation and presentation of contemporary historical themes in the form of exhibitions. In April 1980, a contract for work was signed with the historian and journalist Dr. Karlheinz Fuchs, according to which he was commissioned to develop a concept for the collection of urban history with a special focus on the 20th century ("collection of contemporary history") as well as to prepare and organise exhibitions on contemporary historical themes in agreement with and in cooperation with the cultural office of the city of Stuttgart. In addition, the two historians Bernd Burkhardt and Walter Nachtmann have also been working on the project since spring and autumn 1980, respectively. The graphic artist Michael Molnar was engaged in freelance collaboration for the exhibition design and realization. A secretariat was set up in April 1982. In August of the same year, two additional freelancers were hired on an hourly basis. Since the end of 1982, a pedagogical-didactic employee had been working on the project, whose position was financed by the Robert Bosch Foundation in the first year and then by the Cultural Office. In the spring of 1982, the press published an appeal by the then Lord Mayor Manfred Rommel to support the contemporary history project by surrendering documents and objects from the Nazi era. This appeal received a great response from the population, so that the employees were given numerous objects for their exhibitions. In addition, contemporary witnesses were available for interviews. The venue for all exhibitions was the Tagblatt Tower in Eberhardstraße (cultural centre "Kultur unterm Turm"). On 13 August 1982 the first exhibition "Prolog. Political Posters of the Late Weimar Republic" opened. The accompanying exhibition "Völkische Radikale in Stuttgart. On the Prehistory and Early Phase of the NSDAP 1890-1925" was shown from November 12, 1982. Both exhibitions ran until 12 January 1983. The second major exhibition "The Seizure of Power. From Republic to Brown City" was opened on 28 January 1983. The accompanying exhibition "Friedrich Wolf. The years in Stuttgart 1927-1933. An example" was shown from 9 July to 13 November 1983. From 23 March to 22 December 1984 the exhibition "Adaptation - Resistance - Persecution. The years from 1933 to 1939". This exhibition encompassed the themes "Everyday Life", "Resistance" and "Persecution of the Jews of Stuttgart", originally planned as individual complexes, each between 1933 and 1939, whereby views of the wartime period also showed the consequences of the National Socialist dictatorship for Stuttgart. Extensive catalogues were published for all exhibitions (see references). Dissolution of the project, exhibition "Stuttgart in the Second World War" Because of the amount of material, for financial reasons and also because the project broke new ground, the deadlines set for the individual exhibitions could not be met. When the fixed-term employment contracts of the project staff expired as planned at the end of March 1984 and the project was terminated, an exhibition was still pending ("Stuttgart in the War - the Years from 1939 to 1945"). This was made up for the 50th return of the outbreak of war in 1989 (1.9. - 22.7.). The specialist staff for this was provided by the Library for Contemporary History, money and premises were provided by the City of Stuttgart. The historian Dr. Marlene Hiller from the Library of Contemporary History was commissioned with the exhibition project. Further employees were Chris Glass, Dr. Benigna Schönhagen and Stefan Kley. A book accompanying the exhibition was also published here. Content of the inventory: On the one hand, the collection contains documents and files produced by the members of the contemporary history project as part of their work. This includes correspondence with lenders and interview partners, but also correspondence with the administration about the provision of office space, the collection of information material and the like. By far the largest part of the collection, however, consists of the collected objects, photos, sound and film cassettes as well as books, which were acquired for the individual exhibitions by donation, loan or purchase. A further focus are the numerous interviews with contemporary witnesses, some of which are available in the form of video cassettes, but most of which are in the form of audio cassettes, most of which have been digitized subsequently and can now be used in the form of mp3 or wav files. However, this only applies to audio cassettes with interviews with contemporary witnesses. Sound cassettes with other content (e.g. music, industrial noises, excerpts from speeches) or sound cassettes on which (today's) SWR programmes are recorded have not been digitised because they are also available elsewhere (e.g. in the radio archive). Some of the interviews were transcribed by the project staff (some, however, incomplete). The original plan to issue an extra volume with the interviews conducted could no longer be realized. . Further information on the inventory and its use: The inventory comprises a total of 1100 units. The written documents have a circumference of 6.1 linear metres. There are also seven photo albums, 297 photo folders, one framed photo, 665 slides, 107 units with negatives, four films, 58 postcards, 20 audio and magnetic tapes, 56 video cassettes, 331 audio cassettes and 59 books. The actual period of the collection runs from 1979 to 1990, with the collection containing pre-files or documents, books, photos, etc., which were taken before 1945 and date back to 1891. The documents were handed over to the City Archive by the Cultural Office in May 1987. Since there was no order or classification, this had to be done on the basis of the existing material itself. Some of the documents are still blocked due to the general 30-year blocking period for fact files. Copyrights must be respected for the numerous photos stored in the photo archive. Please order the desired units according to the following sample: Project Contemporary History - 1037 - Unit number Photos can be ordered using the signatures FM 132/1-297 or FM 132/1-297.

Period: 1381 - 1945 Scope: 3 Substocks: 110 linear metres = 6,943 units of description Cataloguing: ordered and listed, finding aids (1981, 2008) Citation method: AHR, 1.1.12. or AHR, Gewett Content: The delivery of the Gewett is divided into three parts: 1.1.12.1. Ports and Shipping, 1.1.12.2. Local Administration Warnemünde and 1.1.12.3. Trade and Industry. This division follows the different tasks of the authority, whereby the general files were arranged with the archivischen treatment into the first partial existence. The descriptions of the contents and further literature references can be found in the sub-collections. Overview: The term Gewett is derived from the Middle Low German word "Wedde", which means, among other things, fine and police court. Since the Middle Ages, life in the city was carried out according to the norms set by the Council. Violation of these standards was punishable by the payment of a fine. The protection of the norms and the collection of the fines was the task of the Weddeherren, who belonged to the council and were first mentioned in the sources in 1366. They were responsible for supervising the entire commercial and industrial life in the city as well as the craftsmen and the craft offices. In addition, the Weddeherrens were responsible for the preservation of the port and the fairways, supervised the beach and the flotsam, administered Warnemünde, took care of the cleaning and maintenance of the roads and ensured that the duty of vigilance was observed. The Gewett was also a police authority and acted as a judicial authority for the aforementioned areas. Like other municipal authorities, the Gewett has developed from a medieval council office to an extrajudicial authority since the early modern era. The Gewett essentially retained the competences it had already defined in the Middle Ages as a port, shipping, trade and industry authority. Two council members were responsible as president and assessor. They were assisted by several officials, including the harbour master, the pilot commander and the Vogt from Warnemünde. The bailiff in Warnemünde had to exercise the powers and duties of a police and judicial authority for this district. In the 19th century, with the emergence of monocratic authorities, certain shifts in competence occurred. In 1817, the Police Office was founded, which followed on from the City Guard, which had been under the gun until then. Other functions, such as the medical police, the supervision of pharmacies or the building and trade police, were transferred to the police office in the middle of the century. In the field of shipping, Gewett was responsible for issuing Biel letters in 1831, and in 1838 it actually took over the duties of a seaman's office. After the adoption of the Court Constitution Act by the Reichstag in 1879, the power of the dissolved municipal higher court took over the management of the ship register, and since 1888 it has acted as a ship surveying authority. Even after the introduction of freedom of trade in the course of the unification of the empire, the Gewett remained the first instance for all craft and trade matters. Only the November Revolution of 1918 and the subsequent state upheaval led to serious changes. The bet was settled in 1920. The administration of Warnemünde was transferred to its own local administration. The successor in the field of ports and shipping was the port administration. The police department took over the supervision of trade and commerce.

Overview: The sub-collection "Gewett: Ortsverwaltung Warnemünde" contains the relevant files of the Vogtei, the administration, the Badeverwaltung and the Bürgerältestenkollegium. The town of Rostock had acquired the fishing village at the mouth of the Warnow on 11 March 1323 from Prince Heinrich II of Mecklenburg in order to secure access to the sea. Since that time the village has been administered by a municipal bailiff. This was subordinated to the Weddeherren or later to the Gewett, which exercised the supervision, court and police functions in Warnemünde. From the end of the 19th century, tourism became a decisive factor in the town's economic life. The village grew into a health resort. The Citizens' Elder Council lost its function in 1911 after six Warnemünde citizens were generally granted a seat in the Rostock Citizens' Representation. In 1920, the betting was settled. The bailiff was replaced by his own local administration. The most extensive group of files in the collection results from the function of the Gewett as a lower court, which until the end of the 19th century dealt with legal disputes as well as guardianship and estate matters of the inhabitants of Warnemünde. The alphabetical order of files was already made in the court registry after the initial letters of the names of the persons and a serial number within the letter.

Overview: The exercise of police power was one of the privileges of the City of Rostock, which allowed the Council, under its own authority, to issue regulations for all areas of city life. In the sovereign police and land regulations of 1516, 1542, 1562 and 1572 the dukes of Mecklenburg had asserted their increased claim to want to have a regulating and disciplining effect on the ways of life and behaviour of their subjects. The city authorities were urged to act according to these orders. It was under this impression that the Council published in 1538 a first police order - not handed down in the past - which at the same time confirmed its own sovereignty in this field. The inheritance contract of 21 September 1573 made it obligatory for the city to establish a "good, Christian, honourable and cheap police and court order", which had to orient itself to the sovereign orders. On 14 April 1576, the Council's police regulations with their 59 paragraphs were finally in place. The Council subsequently increased its measures to produce a "good policyy" with a large number of individual ordinances and reacted to non-compliance with penalties. Regulations on keeping the streets clean, on engagements, weddings, children's beer parties, mourning ceremonies or fire protection influenced people's everyday lives. A comprehensive catalogue of regulations and restrictions developed. Social discipline was also served by the establishment of the breeding and factory house in the former Catherine monastery in 1728. With the renewed and improved police regulations of 1757, the Council's efforts in the fight against the "abuses and debaucheries that almost overtook from day to day" reached a new quality. However, there was no establishment of a special police authority, and violations continued to be punished by the individual council offices. The Inheritance Treaty of 13 May 1788 confirmed the city's authority to issue its own police orders without interference by the state government, subject to compliance with the state police ordinances. At the same time, Duke Friedrich Franz I allowed the city to set up thirty police guards. With the construction of the police station, a longer process of institutionalization of the police system began. In 1795, the "Neue Monatsschrift für und von Mecklenburg" (New Monthly Bulletin for and of Mecklenburg) named serious deficiencies in the exercise of the police, in particular in the enforcement of the existing ordinances. Points of criticism were the lack of monitoring of bread and meat prices, the rubbish in the streets, the begging, the lack of fire safety, the nightly singing of journeymen on the streets, the purchase of food outside the city gates, the lawn of millers, beach and sand drivers with horse-drawn carts, the neglect of supervision over school attendance. Only with the establishment of the police office on 1 April 1817 did a fundamental change occur. With the "Order of Police Violence" of 14 December 1825, the authorities were given fixed structures and defined powers. The Police Office took over the tasks of the authorities to maintain and enforce order and security, while the College of Police Administration was responsible for street cleaning, refuse collection, street lighting, road construction, sewerage and parks. The two bodies were headed by a director and an assessor who were members of the Council. The police office also had the power to impose penalties, which was the only way to ensure that the numerous ordinances were enforced. To carry out the tasks, a comprehensive apparatus of administrative officers (secretaries, clerks) and security officers (commissioners, watchmen, guards, prison guards) was set up. The municipal police force remained unrestricted even after the unification of the Reich in 1871, but increasingly the laws and regulations enacted by the Reich or the Land became the guideline for police work. With the foundation of the Mecklenburg Ordnungspolizei in 1921, the state police presence was considerably strengthened. The municipal police office was finally replaced by the state police headquarters on 1 April 1937 in the course of the centralisation of the police apparatus promoted by the National Socialists. The city of Rostock only had functions as a local police authority.

Overview: Until 1812, the responsibility for the city buildings lay with the city treasury, because it ultimately had to pay the costs for construction and maintenance. The municipal building yard with the necessary material and equipment was administered by the building clerk, as specialists city masons, city carpenters and tower coverers stood in the service of the council. Since the beginning of the 19th century, this structure has been the subject of criticism. The starting point was a revision of the expenditure of the city treasury, which was found to be too high. After visiting the city buildings, the Hundertmännerkollegium was of the opinion that many buildings urgently needed repair. The repairs carried out could have been carried out more cheaply if more expertise had been given to carrying out the tasks and supervision had been better exercised. Finally, in January 1812, an independent building department was formed, which, however, remained part of the Kassendepartement and only since 1854 appears in the lists of authorities as an independent building authority. The building department or building authority was led collegially by a member of the council - he bore the name Director - and four civil deputies. An instruction of 1830 named the responsibilities for the municipal buildings, as far as these were not in combing, weight, poor order or other administrative branches. The responsibility extended to the city, the suburbs and the city field mark, to the port and shipping facilities on the beach and the Warnow as well as to Warnemünde. As officials, the instruction named the building scribe, the carpenter, the excavator master and the crane supervisor. A foreman worked in Warnemünde on a fee basis. The fact that the position of port master carpenter was replaced by that of city master builder in 1835 indicates a change in the emphasis of the work. The planned expansion of the port and the new regulation of the Warnow, made a division of tasks necessary in 1885. The city master builder took over the building construction department, the port construction director the electricity and port construction departments as well as sewage and road construction. Overall, the demands placed on urban construction have increased enormously. The growth of the town required planning services for the new residential areas in front of the Kröpeliner Tor, the Steintor, the Mühlentor and the Petritor. Before the First World War, the Council's Urban Expansion Committees became the most important advisory body on urban development issues. With regard to the construction work, the city was responsible for the necessary development and road construction work, but it also had to create public buildings (e.g. hospitals, schools, municipal theatres) and utilities (gas works, waterworks, power station) in order to secure the community's existence. During the Weimar Republic, combating housing shortages became a central issue. It was not until 1925 that significant progress was made here through the continuation of urban expansion towards the west. The building police regulations for all buildings in the city were initially characterized primarily by the requirements for fire safety. Individual regulations touched half-timbered structures, thatched roofs, wooden gables, tarred roofing felt or chimneys. The regulations for Warnemünde (1848, 1908), for the Kämmerei and hospital area as well as for Rostock, the suburbs and the Stadtfeldmark (1894, 1929) were summarised in extensive building regulations. In Rostock, the Kämmerei was initially responsible for enforcing these regulations, in Warnemünde the Gewett. In 1899 a building police department was set up at the police station, which took over the building supervision for Rostock. After a reorganization, the building supervision was transferred to the building authorities in 1935. Publications: Dehn, Gustav: Organisation des Stadt-Bauamtts, Bauwesens, in: Festschrift der XXVI.

Overview: Based on the need for conviviality, science and education, the citizens of Rostock began to form associations at the end of the 18th century. Until the middle of the 19th century. At the end of the 19th century, the Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft (1780), Societät (1794), Patriotischer Verein (1798), Naturforschende Gesellschaft (1800), Bibelgesellschaft (1816), Philomatische Gesellschaft (1819), Gewerbeverein (1835), Verschönerungsverein (1836), Union of Merchants (1837), Ärztlicher Verein (1840), Kunstverein (1841), Gartenbauverein (1853), Seidenbauverein (1858) and Männnerturnverein (1860) were founded. The further flourishing of the modern association system was closely linked to industrialisation, when people abandoned the rigid corporations that had shaped economic and social life until then. After the failed revolution of 1848, the right of association and assembly remained an important demand in the process of bourgeois emancipation. Especially the political parties, the associations for electoral reforms or workers' education were exposed to strong official repression. Nevertheless, the association system - primarily in the non-political sphere - underwent a powerful development and became a hallmark of bourgeois society. As in other cities, clubs for singing, sports, trade, mission, nursing, military, dance, sociable entertainment, science and much more were founded in Rostock. If these associations wanted to change their legal status from a mere society to a legal entity, the Council gave them corporate rights. Despite protests by the state government, Rostock claimed this state legal act for itself on the basis of its privileges. With the introduction of the Civil Code (1900), the Council had to grant this power to the State alone. From then on, the courts kept the register of associations. The Reichsvereinsgesetz of 19 April 1908 put the law on associations on a new, modern basis. An adaptation of the law that was long overdue, because the German Empire had existed since 1871 and the associations had become more differentiated since that time. The Rostock address book of 1908 registered a total of 141 organisations in the most diverse categories: religious, charitable and support associations, non-profit associations, patriotic, political and municipal associations, civil servants' associations, military associations, commercial, industrial, trade and crafts associations, associations for agriculture, fishing and animal husbandry, associations for science and art, stenographers' associations, music and singing associations, sports associations, good temple lodges and convivial associations. In her work, there were many points of contact with the Council. Requests for support, events, celebrations, celebrations, anniversaries, conferences and meetings could be reasons for the associations and federations to turn to the Council. In addition, there are inquiries outside of Rostock, partly with similar concerns, but also with requests for support in the erection of monuments. The City of Rostock's membership in associations and organisations was also reflected in the files. Publications: Kohfeldt, Gustav: From the history of older associations and societies in Rostock 1.
