Scope and content

I: With the Law of 6 November 1926 on the State Ministry and the Ministries, the Ministry of Economy replaced the Ministry of Labour and Food, which had been established in 1918. Since then it has been - under changing names - the supreme state authority for state economic management. In December 1946, the areas of responsibility of agriculture and food were spun off and merged into an independent Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry (EA/7). In 1947, the Price Supervision Office, which had previously been integrated into the Ministry of Economics itself, was also spun off and became an independent authority within the Economic Administration. As of 1 June 1948, the tasks of the Ministry of Economics were divided into the following business units:1. General, Organization and Chancellery Directorate2. Economic recording and economic organisation3. Commercial law4. Craft and other trades5. Foreign trade, inter-zone traffic6. Industry7. Planning, raw material and production control8. Pricing9. Economic statistics (for the business divisions see also Büschel 139 No.244)Josef André (CDU) from September 1945 to May 1946, Heinrich Köhler (CDU) from May to November 1946 and Hermann Veit (SPD) from December 1946 to June 1960 were the ministers in charge of the Ministry of Economic Affairs: II: The present file EA 6/001 (former signature EA 6/3) was handed over by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Transport to the Main State Archives in February 1975. These are general administrative files that have been stored according to a decimal file plan. However, this file plan could neither be found nor reconstructed. The subsequent structuring therefore took place according to the above-mentioned business parts; since, however, not all files could be integrated meaningfully into this order scheme, the order according to business parts was modified and supplemented during the processing. The pre-files in the inventory that were created before May 1945 were pulled out - as far as whole tufts were concerned - and assigned to inventory E 384 (Ministry of Economics 1926-1945). Individual documents dating from before 1945 were, however, left in the inventory. The majority of the files date from the period 1945-1952, with pre-files from 1869 and post-files up to 1970. ten tufts of files (the numbers 300, 301, 306, 312, 317 and 329 = 0.2 m) from the Ministry of Economic Affairs Württemberg-Hohenzollern were handed over to the Sigmaringen State Archives during the current indexing and rearrangement of the holdings. A total of 0.8 linear metres of files, mainly containing copies and hectographs, were collected, so that the stock now comprises 10.6 linear metres. The new indexing and structuring took place between September 1990 and March 1991 by the undersigned. The packing of the tufts in archive boxes provided archive of employed Fröhlich. The index was created with the help of data processing on the basis of the MIDOSA program package of the State Archive Administration of Baden-Württemberg.Stuttgart, August 1992Sabine Schnell
