Foreword: History of the registry sculptor The teaching of forestry in Prussia was already given before the founding of the university in Berlin. This took place first in the context of the mountain academy. After the foundation of the Berlin University in 1810 G.L. Hartig continued the teaching. It was not until 1821 that the "Forst-Akademie Berlin" was founded. This institution, which was headed by the former Professor F.W.L. Pfeil, did not belong to the university, but was a "special institute" associated with the university. Since, however, the practical training in Berlin came too short, after negotiations with Wilhelm v. Humboldt, it was achieved that the Ministry for Spiritual, Teaching, and Medical Affairs (Kultus-Ministerium) ordered the relocation of the institution to Eberswalde. On May 1, 1830, teaching began in Eberswalde, initially as the "Höhere Forst-Lehr-Anstalt". The aim of the training was to qualify as a forestry administration service. The institution was headed by a director. In 1868, under Danckelmann's leadership, who was primarily committed to the development of the natural sciences, the former forestry academy was renamed the "Forst-Akademie". The subordination of the Forst-Akademie changed several times. When the Lehr-Anstalt was founded, the administration of domains and forests was subordinated to the Prussian Ministry of Finance. In 1835 this administration came into the business area of the "Ministry of the Royal House". Since 1848 the Ministry of Finance was again responsible. From the year 1878 on the Prussia was now. Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests. This subordination lasted until 1933, when the Prussian State Forestry Administration was spun off from the Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests and directly subordinated to the Prussian Prime Minister. In March 1935, the State Forestry Office was merged with the Reich Forestry Office founded in 1934 and now bore the designation "Reich Forestry Office and Prussian State Forestry Office". Supervision of the Eberswalde Forestry University fell within the remit of the State Forestry Office. In 1921, the former Forestry Academy was granted the status of a university with a rectorate constitution. At the same time, she was granted the right of doctorate and postdoctoral lecturing qualification. In June 1939, the Reich Minister for Science, Education and National Education took over the supervision of teaching, while the Reich Forestry Office remained responsible for research matters. The first statutes date back to 1884. After that it was the task of the Forestry Academy to train candidates for service in the state administration scientifically and practically. The Minister for Agriculture, Domains and Forestry appointed a course gate, usually the respective Oberlandforstmeister, later State Secretary in the Reich Forestry Office, who was in charge of the direct supervision of the Forestry Academy. The Director was responsible for the management of the Academy. The appointments of the professors were made by the Minister. These "provisions" were reworded in 1908 as "Statutes". After the previous Forest Academy was converted into the "Forstliche Hochschule" in 1921, the new version of the statutes had become necessary. The Prussian. The State Ministry issued the "Statutes of the Eberswalde and Hann. Münden Forestry University" on 17 Oct. 1922. These statutes remained in force until 1945, apart from a few amendments. The educational goal of the university remained the training of cadres for the Prussian state forest administration. The institution of the curator also remained. The management bodies were active: The Rector The College of Professors; The Faculty. The Rector was elected for 1 year by the College of Professors. He was in charge of the university and was also responsible for the administration. The teaching areas, which served the education of the students, were led by professors, but were administratively under the control of the government forestry offices (with the government presidents). While the existing experimental departments were integrated into the new university, the "Forstl. Department" as Prussia. Forstl. Versuchsanstalt" from 1.4.1923 into the area of the Ministry. In 1930, when the 100th anniversary of Forstl. college, the following institutes were available: Silviculture (Prof. Dengler) Meteorologist (Prof. J. Bartels) Wood research (Prof. Schwalbe) Soil science (Prof. Albert) Botany (Prof. Noack) Zoology (Prof. Eckstein, Wolff) Seed testing centre (Prof. Schmidt). In 1934 the wood research institute was spun off from the university. As the "Reichs-Anstalt für Holzforschung" it was directly subordinated to the Reich Forestry Office. In 1945 the Forstl. University the following institutes: Meteorological-physical. Institute (Prof. Geiger) Chemical Institute (Prof. Trénel) Institute of Soil Science (Prof. Wittlich) Botanical Institute (Prof. Liese) Zoological Institute (Prof. Schwerdtfeger) Fisheries Institute (Prof. Schäperclaus) Institute of Forest Science (Prof. Hesmer) Institute of Silviculture Technology (Prof. Hesmer) Krahl-Urban) Institute for Forest Seed Science and Reproduction Breeding (Prof. Schmidt) Institute for Forest Establishment (Prof. Kohl) Institute for Forest Use and Labor (Prof. Hilf) Institute for Forest Policy and Business Administration (Prof. Lemmel). In addition to the aforementioned training areas, there were also training facilities: the Harz Office of the Reich Forester, the kiln and a sawmill. Due to the total collapse of the fascist state, the teaching activities in Eberwalde were also stopped for the time being. By Order No. 107 of the SMAD of 8 Apr. 1946, Forstl. Eberswalde University of Applied Sciences as a forestry faculty of the University of Berlin. Registratur,- u. Bestands-Geschichte I. Registratur-Verhältnisse: There is no information available about the structure and development of the registry of the Eberswalde Forestry Academy. There is only one regulation on the course of business, which mainly determined the course of documents from receipt to completion of processing. This "regulatory" also prescribed the layout of expiring documents and their treatment by the registry. There can be no doubt that at least until the introduction of the new registry at Forstl. Eberswalde University of Applied Sciences. The order of the registries was based on signatures, whereby the main groups were identified by Roman numerals and the individual file units by Arabic numerals. This results in the following registry scheme: I, No. 1-53: Organisation of the Forest Service (Forstl. University, teaching and research, celebrations and festivities, doctorates and habilitations. II, No. 2-15: Land, building and construction matters. III, No. 1-10: Budget, - and accounting. IV, No. 1-4: Collection and library matters. Exhibitions. V., No. 1: Admission of students. VI: Examination matters. X: Personnel matters. The registry scheme introduced in 1939 was reconstructed as follows on the basis of the existing file units: 0: Basic 1: Budget and accounting (basic); 2: Library matters; 3: Personnel matters: 4: Teaching and teaching; 5: Examination matters; 6: Celebrations and festivities; 7: Property, construction, budget matters; 8: Research and institute matters; 9: Employment of forestry officials. These main groups were extended to a two-digit and three-digit system. This order could essentially be maintained, since it was set up according to an order scheme which was applied during the time of the existence of the Forstl. University remained unchanged. (§ 61 O.V.G.). The new registry order introduced in 1939 could also be retained, as it documents a clear inventory structure. A reorganisation was therefore not necessary. TWO. Access: On Dec. 14, 1961, on the occasion of an inspection by the former Faculty of Forestry in Eberswalde, it was determined that there were approx. 6-7 running metres of forest on the floor of the administration building. files from the years before 1945. They were Forstl files. Eberswalde University of Applied Sciences from the years 1830-1945. According to the overview obtained at that time, the existing stock was already very incomplete. An immediate backup of the still existing files was maintained as necessary and the rectorate was suggested to transfer them to the archive as soon as possible. The faculty management initially objected to the levy. At the beginning of Jan. 1962, the rectorate decided that the files should be sent to the Humboldt University archives, unless special reasons were put forward for their stay in Eberswalde. In July 1962, the Dean of the Faculty was asked by the Rectorate to arrange for the files to be transferred to the archives. In the meantime, the decision had been made to dissolve the faculty in Eberswalde. This delayed the handover again. A discussion held in Eberswalde showed that the forestry institute of the German Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which took over the continuation of the research affairs in Eberswalde, wanted to take over the existing file material. In April 1963, the State Secretariat for Higher Education decided, on the basis of a report by the university management, that the files in question should be sent to the Humboldt University archives. The final takeover then took place in September 1963. III. Archival processing: The transfer of the file units had been carried out with a list of files. Since on almost all files registry signatures were present, after the storage possibility was created, the existence was initially pre-ordered by the Koll. Rambeau and at the same time worthless written material (.v.a. voucher material) was separated out. For preliminary orientation, a registry scheme was drawn up from which it was possible to determine without difficulty the structure of the then registry according to main groups. At the recording, which was carried out in the months October to December 1965 by the head of the archive, colleague Kossack, two registration layers could be determined. The older registry order, marked with the Roman numbers I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and X, was kept until about Nov. 1939, as was evident from the file management. From November 1939 a 3-digit file plan with the main groups 0-9 was introduced. This document, which was taken from the document containers and bundled in disorder, had to be sorted according to the existing signatures and new files had to be created. Since some fileplan items contain only one activity, in some cases several subjects have been grouped together in one document container. The "extended indexing" (§ 87 OVG.) was applied to the indexing of the holdings in order to ensure the most intensive possible indexing of the file units. This was regarded as all the more necessary as the total stock was very incomplete. The group listing (§ 91 OVG.) took place in the cases "Bibliotheks-Angelegenheiten" and "Aufnahme der Zöglinge". Both registry layers were regarded as the basis for the creation of partial inventories, with reference notes being made for the corresponding file units. (§ 62 OVG). The existing personnel files were listed individually at the end of the inventory. A name, - u. Sach-Register is supposed to facilitate the finding of the archives for the user.

Preface: The Faculty of Theology Dean's Office History of the Registrar's Educator The Faculty of Theology has existed since the founding of the university in 1810. However, the first colleges on Christian morality and hermeneutics were held by Schleiermacher as early as 22.11.1809.(1) In an expert opinion on the establishment of the Faculty of Theology from 25.5. to 22.11.1809, the first colleges were held in the Faculty of Theology.In 1810 Schleiermacher demanded a division of the subject matter into exegetical, dogmatic and practical theology and a seminar for scholarly theology for a closer connection between pupils and teachers and for the deepening of knowledge, pointing out that no difference should be made between the denominations and individual directions of the Protestant Church within the faculty.(2) As can be seen from the Faculty Statutes of 1838, Schleiermacher's proposals were also realized. The following disciplines were on the curriculum: Encyclopedia and Methodology of Theology Introduction to the Old and New Testaments Biblical Critique and Hermeneutics History of the Old Testament and Biblical Archaeology Interpretation of the Pentateuch, the Job, the Psalms and the Isaiah, the most important historical and didactic writings of the New Testament Church and Dogma History Dogmatics, theological Morality, Symbolism Practical Theology, in the whole and in individual branches. These disciplines were also confirmed in the faculty statutes of 1903. The Faculty of Theology at the University of Berlin was the leader in Germany in the 19th century. Among the most important professors of that time were Schleiermacher, Marheineke, de Wette, Neander, Hengstenberg and Twesten. At the end of the 19th century the faculty reached a new heyday through the work of the professors von Harnack on church history and von Schlatter on systematic topics. In the 20th century, under the deanship of Professors Stolzenburg and Seeberg, strong tendencies towards National Socialism also emerged in the Faculty of Theology. Supporters of the Confessing Church (e.g. Dietrich Bonhoeffer) were given leave and students were strictly forbidden to participate in their events. D. Werner Gruehn, professor of systematic theology and religious psychology, and Dr. Ernst Schubert, lecturer for foreign Germanism and the Church, represented National Socialist ideology. Both dealt with problems of "German people growth abroad" in connection with church issues. In the years 1847 to 1870 an academic service was held during the semester. The first plans were made in 1810, but could not be realized. The request of the faculty to establish a university church in 1830 was also not answered by the ministry, until in 1847 the energetic efforts of Professor Dr. Nitzsch succeeded in establishing a Protestant preaching position at the university. The first service took place on the 3rd Sunday of Advent 1847 in the Dorotheenstädtische Kirche. There was also a seal for the university preacher. From 1847 to 1855 Professor D. Nitzsch served as university preachers, from 1855 to 1858 Professor Wuttke and the private lecturers Lic. Strauss and Dr. Erdmann served as interim lecturers, and from 1858 to 1870 Professor Steinmeyer. In the year 1870 this office was abolished, since in Berlin no university, but only a personnel municipality had formed and no need for the holding of an academic service seemed to exist any longer.(3) On 5.11.1916 it was however again taken up and held up to 1923 by all professors in the turn in the Kaiser Wilhelm memory church.(4) Only with effect from 1.12.1923 the student priest received again a fixed remuneration. Until then, aid had to be requested to cover the most urgent costs of renting the church space, among other things. The Academic Divine Service was financially supported by the state until 1938,(5) but until 1945 it was no longer announced in the university calendars and regarded as an internal church matter. The student chaplain worked at the university until 1945. The following institutes were affiliated to the Faculty of Theology: 1. Theological Seminary In the summer semester of 1812 the Theological Seminary was opened.(6) It made subjects of theological scholarship its task and was divided according to the regulations of 31.5.1812 into two sections, the philological and the historical. Of these, the philological was once again divided into the Old Testament exegesis and the New Testament exegesis. The historical department, originally divided into church history and dogma history, continued to exist after a few years as a church history department. The systematic department was added around 1920, but hardly any further details exist about it. Over the years, the subdivisions developed into independent departments, which were only nominally connected by the dean as director of the seminar. In 1931 there were tendencies to make the four departments independent, but this proposal was rejected by the Ministry for financial reasons.(7) The seminar was endowed with scholarships and bonuses and therefore had to limit the number of its members to twenty. Although at first there was no uninterrupted direction for each department, in the course of time a constant direction developed through certain conductors, so that the conductors were later appointed. The changing directors of the Old Testament department show the changing currents of contemporary theology. Their first leader was de Wette until 1819. After interim stages, Professor Hengstenberg took over the seminar in 1826 and carried out the exercises in Latin until the introduction of the German language in the winter semester of 1846/47. Dillmann, who had led the seminar since 1869, retained the Latin language for his written works. It was not until the winter semester of 1881/82 that they were partly submitted in German. From 1.4.1884, the premiums for the work from the sovereign wealth fund ceased to apply. Since the seminar was no longer a scholarship institution at the same time, the limitation of participants became superfluous. Since 18.1.1887 the seminar also received means for the establishment of a library. The New Testament Department of the Theological Seminary was opened on the proposal of the Faculty of Theology of 6.4.1812 by the Regulations of the Department of Cultures and Public Education of 31.5.1812 as a subdivision of the Philological Department. Schleiermacher was the first director of the philological department. In the New Testament section, larger sections of the New Testament were treated in conversational work and written works were prepared. A special library for New Testament exegesis was available. In 1908 the seminar was divided into the Proseminar for beginners and the Seminar for advanced students.(8) The Department of Church History was headed by Professor Neander until 1850. During this time there were extensive lectures from all periods of church history, especially the old church history, and treatises on published works. To obtain seminar scholarships or bonuses, written work had to be written in Latin. Since 1906 the seminary has been divided into a department for early church history and a department for more recent church history. The practical-theological seminar Plans for the establishment of a Homiletian Institute were already worked out by Professor Marheineke and presented to the Ministry on April 3, 1821. Marheineke saw the purpose of the institute as the exercise of the students in the elaboration and presentation of spiritual speeches and in the evaluation of the presented. The Ministry welcomed the establishment of a Homiletic Society, but wanted it to be regarded as a private institute until the participation of the students ensured sufficient income. Around 1862 Professor Büttner founded a homiletic seminary at the university and planned a catechetical one. Until 1873 he carried out the corresponding exercises as an honorary professor. On 1 October 1875, Professor Pfleiderer finally opened the Practical Theological Seminary.(9) According to the regulations of 31 March 1876, it served the students to prepare them for the future spiritual profession through suitable exercises. Students of the first four semesters were not admitted to the seminar. The seminar consisted of a homiletic and a catechetic section, where a weekly seminar service was held in the homiletic instead of the speech exercises. The chapel of the cathedral candidate abbey served as a place of practice. In the catechetical department at first only exercises were held after private consultation with teachers. Since 1906, however, by decree of the Provinzialschulkollegium, students were allowed to spend one hour a week in the upper class of a community school. From the winter semester of 1912/13 onwards, regular liturgical and church music exercises were carried out following the seminar. Professor Kaweran was the leader of these exercises.(10) After his death in 1918 Professor Biehle took over the leadership.(11) 3. The Christian-archaeological and epigraphic collection According to the decree of the Prussian Ministry for Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs of 23.5.1849, the Christian-archaeological art collection (also Christian Museum) was founded in June 1849 after many years of efforts by Professor Piper. Professor Piper, who served as director of the Christian-Archaeological Collection until his death on 29.11.1889, mainly collected costly originals, copies of pictures and casts of originals with the purpose of making the students familiar with early Christian history. At first he kept the works of art in his apartment, but on 22.4.1850 he transferred them to a room in the school building at Friedrichstraße 126 with the permission of the school authorities.(12) Since spring 1891 they have been in the west wing of the university.(13) With this collection Professor Piper was the first in the world to create a model for all universities. His successor, Professor Müller, supplemented the existing collection with plaster casts, photographs and other illustrations of early Christian and medieval monuments and from 1890 devoted himself particularly to building up a library. After the death of Professor Müller on 3.9.1912, Professor Deißmann took over the management of the collection on a representative basis and Professor Stuhlfauth on 1.4.1913. Since 31.3.1924 Professor Lietzmann was involved in the management alongside Professor Stuhlfauth. With effect from 1.10.1935 Professor Friedrich Gerke was appointed Director of the Seminar for Christian Archaeology and Art.(14) Under his direction the seminar was given the character of a research and teaching institute for the entire late antique and medieval archaeology and art research. In 1936 he started to build up a Nordic-Germanic department. After he was drafted into the military, Professor Hans Reinerth took over the management of the seminar on a representative basis and in 1944 initiated the relocation of the institute's library to the Dechtow manor. The teaching collection, publications and foreign correspondence were brought to Schloss Plattenburg / Prignitz. 4th Seminar for Post-Biblical Judaism On 13.11.1883 Professor Strack founded the seminar with the aim of driving "Jewish mission" and acquainting Christian theologians with Judaism, its literature and its essence.(15) It received no state support, but was greatly enriched by the donation of Professor Strack's library in 1918. After the death of Professor Strack, Professor Greßmann took over the directorship of the seminar on 1.12.1923, Professor Joachim Jeremias on 1.10.1928 and Professor Bertholet on 12.7.1929. On 1.10.1937 Professor Hempel was appointed managing director.(16) Since the summer semester of 1937 no more lectures have been held. Since the Institute has not been listed in the course catalogue since the summer semester of 1939, it was probably dissolved in the winter semester of 1938/39. The Institute was founded in 1917 by Professor Julius Richter as a seminar on mission history and renamed the Seminar on Mission Studies on 9 June 1931. Julius Witte was appointed Director on 6 November 1930. He remained so until his retirement on 1.4.1939.(17) From 1.4.1934 onwards, the Institute dealt not only with the holding of religious studies exercises but also with the study of Germanic religions and the Christianisation of the Germanic peoples. After the decree of 24.10.1935 it was therefore renamed the Institute for General History of Religion and Missionary Studies.(18) Since after the retirement of Professor Witte the appointment of the Chair of Missionary Studies was no longer intended by the Ministry, the Institute was closed on the basis of the decree of the Reich Ministry for Science, Education and Popular Education of 3.1.1944. The existing books were transferred to the university library. 6th Institute for Social Ethics and Science of Inner Mission The Institute, founded in 1927, was affiliated to the Theological Seminary, Department of Systematic Theology, and, according to its statutes of 25 July 1927, served the scientific promotion and instruction of students in the field of inner mission in connection with the problems of social ethics and welfare work. The first director, Professor Seeberg, was appointed by the Ministry of Science, Art and Popular Education in consultation with the Faculty of Theology and the Central Committee of the Inner Mission. He was assisted by a board of trustees composed of a representative of the ministry, a member appointed by the president of the German Protestant Kirchentag, a member of the Protestant Oberkirchenrat in Berlin, two lecturers from the Faculty of Theology and two members of the Central Committee of the Inner Mission. Assistants of the Institute participated in the meetings of the Board of Trustees. The institute was dissolved on the basis of the ministerial decree of 26.3.1938.(19) (1) Todt, Fr., in: Das Pfarrhaus, 1895, Nr. 11 u. 12: Die Theologische Fakultät der Universität Berlin, Berlin 1896 (2) Elliger, Walter: 150 Jahre Theologische Fakultät Berlin, Berlin 1960 (3) DZA Merseburg, Rep.76 Va Sekt.2 Tit.1 Nr.8 (4) DZA Potsdam, Reichserziehungsministerium, current no. 1239 Bl.3 (5) DZA Potsdam, Reichserziehungsministerium, current no. 1239 Bl.36 (6) Lenz, Max: Geschichte der königlichen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin, Halle/Saale 1910, Volume 3, pp. 3-24 (7) HU Berlin, Archiv, Universitätskurator, current no. 792/1 (8) Lenz, ibid.

After comparison with the old administrative repertory, hardly any loss of files occurred. No cassations were made. The bequests of Professors Titius and Gerke, which were kept under the files, were spun off as separate holdings and the files from the period after 1945 were transferred to the administrative archive. Before being handed over to the dean's office, the files were administered in the university's central registry and filed according to the alphabetical keyword system. The repertory of the authorities, which had been set up accordingly, turned out to be completely inadequate, so that the stock was recorded and rearranged in the summer and autumn of 1966. Berlin, December 1966 Barbara Lange A revision took place in 2013. Ilona Kalb During a review in 2017, a twisting of signatures within the current No. 68 - 71 was corrected. In the case of promotion files (signatures 100 - 126), only those names are indicated for which documents are in the file.

History of the Registratur-Bildners The later Tierärztliche Hochschule zu Berlin was opened on 01.06.1790 as Tierarzneischule. (1)She was first subordinated to the Oberstallmeistern v. Lindenau and v. Jagow. Count Lindenau had been commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II to take the necessary preparatory steps to found a veterinary school. In view of the devastating cattle plague, King Frederick II had already given the order to draw up a plan for a veterinary training centre. However, the submitted plans failed because the Prussian Treasury was not willing to bear the requested construction costs at the proposed level. However, political and military considerations forced King Frederick William II to agree to the founding of a veterinary school in 1787. The costs were to be borne by the royal private assets. After v. Lindenau had led appropriate negotiations, the Tierarzneischule was opened to 01.06.1790. 4 professors, 1 pharmacist, 2 teaching blacksmiths, 1 stable master, 1 farm assistant, 1 provisional (pharmacy), 2 guard masters, 1 castellan, 9 stable servants, 1 gardener, 2 garden servants, 1 night watchman and 1 candidate made up the first staff of the school. At first the training was almost exclusively of so-called military eleven, soldiers who were trained as flag smiths for the army. In the year 1806 Graf v. Lindenau met back from the management of the school and his successor Oberstallmeister v. Jagow took over. The subordination to the Obermarstallamt had a very negative effect on the development of the school. On 26.03.1810, W. v. Humboldt drew up a memorandum which emphasised the scientific significance of the Tierarzneischule in particular and in which he spoke out in favour of integrating the school into the newly established university. Although Humboldt's demands were rejected by Jagow, this memorandum nevertheless became the starting point for renewed proposals for an improved establishment of the school, which were presented above all by Prof. Rudolph, Medical Councillor, and Langermann, State Councillor. By cabinet order of 09.06.1817 the school was subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior and the War. At the beginning of August 1817, the first department of the Berlin government took over the supervision of the school. (2) After the dissolution of the Berlin government and the restoration of the police headquarters, the veterinary school was subordinated to it. (3) The regulations about the restoration of the police headquarters in Berlin of 18.09.1822 provided in § 8 - Medizinal-Polizei - the subordination of the Charité and the Tierarzneischule to the medical department. As ministerial authority, the Ministry was now responsible for spiritual, educational and medical matters. In addition, the War Ministry and the Obermarstallamt had retained their say. By cabinet order of 16.11.1835 "for the acceleration of the reorganization and expedient management of the Tierarzneischule" the establishment of a "Kuratorium für die Krankenhaus- und Tierarzneischulangelegenheiten vom König Friedrich Wilhelm III. was ordered. (4) Privy Councillor Albers, who had been appointed provisional director, conducted the takeover negotiations on the part of the school. The right of the War Ministry and the Obermarstallamt to have a say remained unchanged. After the dissolution of the Board of Trustees, the administration of the Veterinary School was transferred by cabinet order of 10.12.1847 to a directorate directly subordinated to the Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs. This Directorate consisted of the Director (Albers until 1849) and the Accounting Council of Esse, who was also the Administrative Director of the Charité. Other directors were: Gurlt until 1870, Gerlach until 1877, Roloff until 1885 and since 1885 - Müller. A cabinet order of 27.04.1872 ordered that the Veterinary School be subordinated to the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests. At the same time, a close connection was established with the veterinary administration, which subsequently had a very fruitful effect, especially on scientific research activities. On 20.06.1887 the Tierarzneischule was awarded the title "Tierärztliche Hochschule" by "Allerhöchsten Erlass". At the same time, Minister v. Lucius issued a provisional statute for the school. (5) Thereafter, the school's performance committees were the rector and the teaching staff. (§ 5 loc. cit.) The Rector was appointed by the Minister. It was not until 1903 that the school was granted the right to vote. The principal was responsible for running the school. The administrators were under the authority of the rector. The senior administrative officer used the official title "Administrator". (Section 24 of the Articles of Association). The first rector was the former director Prof. Müller. It was not until April 1913, after lengthy negotiations, that the school was awarded the final charter by the "Allerhöchste Order" of 31.03.1913. (6) The right to award doctorates had previously been granted (05.09.1910). In September 1932 the Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forestry issued a new statute for the veterinary universities in Prussia, according to the information provided. (Ministerial Gazette of the Prussian Administration for Agriculture, Domains and Forests, No 41/1932, p. 566). In addition, the draft Rules of Procedure for the Rector and Senate of the University of Veterinary Medicine have been drafted. (7) However, as a result of the subordination to the Prussian Ministry of Science, Art and Popular Education, these no longer appear to have been carried out. In January 1909, at the request of the rector Schmaltz, the title "Magnifizenz" was awarded to the rector of the school. (8) This also meant that the external equality with the other Berlin universities (university, technical college, agricultural college) had been achieved. By the emergency decree of 29.10.1932 the Veterinary University was again subordinated to the Prussian Ministry for Science, Art and National Education. (9) On 02.10.1934 the Prussian Minister of Science, Art and National Education ordered the transfer of the administrative business of the Veterinary College to the Administrative Director of the Charité. (10). This order already suggested that the integration of the university into the university was imminent. Already on 20.10.1934 a meeting took place in the Ministry of Culture. (11) Professors Krüger and Bierbaum, as representatives of the school, were decidedly against the intended establishment of an agricultural veterinary faculty at Berlin University for various reasons. They advocated the creation of an independent veterinary faculty and rejected any link with the Faculty of Agriculture. Notwithstanding the objections also from other sides, the integration of the University of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture into the University as the 5th Faculty took place under the name of "Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine", Department of Agriculture and Department of Veterinary Medicine with effect from 01.11.1934. (12) Since the management of the administrative affairs by the Administrative Director of the Charité led to the detriment, the Administrative Director of the University took over these from 01.05.1935. Subsequently, the existing officials and employees of both departments were entrusted with new areas of work. With effect from 01.10.1937 the Department of Veterinary Medicine was transformed into an independent Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and separated from the connection with the Faculty of Agriculture. (13) Since 01.10.1937 the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Berlin has been in existence. Registratur und Bestandsgeschichte I. Registraturverhältnisse As is usual with the older authority registries, the registry of the University of Veterinary Medicine also contained fact files. In most cases, the file titles correspond to the contents of the file. The external condition of the files, apart from some damaged file units, can be described as good. The traditional registry order begins relatively late, only with the takeover of the Tierarzneischule by the government of Berlin in 1817. From 1790 to 1817 the school was under the control of the Oberstallmeistern v. Lindenau and v. Jagow. The registry order was established in 1841 by the registrar Tönnies. (14) It has essentially been preserved in its structure until 1945 and beyond a few years later. Main groups were formed which were called "sections" (Roman numerals). The further subdivision according to Arabic numerals designated the individual file unit. A total of 45 sections were formed, with sections XXVIII, XXXVII-XLI, XLIII and XLV completely missing. The subordination of the Tierarzneischule under three different middle authorities (1817 government Berlin, 1822 police headquarters Berlin, 1836-1848 board of trustees for the hospital and Tierarzneischulangelegenheiten) affected also the registration conditions. Thus, a significant number of file units of these intermediate authorities, known as the "veterinary school registry", were inserted into the registry of the veterinary school when it was dissolved and continued there. Some files, which were not continued at the Tierarzneischule (government Berlin, police presidium). Board of Trustees for Hospital and Veterinary School Matters), were forwarded to the State Archive in Potsdam for competence. The direct subordination to the Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs in 1847 eliminated the double subordination and also created clearer registry relationships. After the integration of the University of Veterinary Medicine into the University of Berlin on 01.11.1934 and the formation of the Faculty of Agricultural Veterinary Medicine, Department of Veterinary Medicine, the registration conditions remained the same. (15) After in May 1935 the administrative director of the university had been charged with the administration of the agricultural veterinary institutes, about 160 file units were handed over to him, most of which still exist. (16) The former central registry of the Veterinary University was thus split up. One part was handed over to the administrative director of the university (from 1936 university curator), the other remained as faculty files in the independent faculty of veterinary medicine established with effect from 01.10.1937. The existing audit files are referred to as "personal files", which also have gaps, are not listed in alphabetical order and are located at the end of the file. (17) A copy of the registration scheme is attached as an annex. TWO. Access The holdings were located in the heating cellar of the Chemical Institute of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, where they were found in November 1960 and taken over by the archive in January 1961. Negotiations to take over the stock had already been conducted with the Dean of the Faculty since 1955, but without result. At first, the dean refused to hand over the files to the archive, although the inventory was transferred from one place to another and finally ended up in the heating cellar of the Chemical Institute. During the order and distortion it was determined that the stock is no longer completely available. For cassation, therefore, it was mainly personal files of the technical personnel that were proposed. III. archival treatment The file material was roughly arranged in the year 1962 by Mr. Rambeau, whereby after the existing registry signatures the earlier order scheme was reconstructed. The indexing took place in the months February to June 1965 by Dr. Kossack, then head of the university archive. The existing file units were listed individually. The "extended distortion" (§ 87 OVG) was applied. Only in the case of the 'expert reports' files was the group listing applied. With regard to the internal order of the inventory, the found registry order was retained, since it remained unchanged during the activity of the registry formatter. (§ 61 OVG). A delimitation of the individual sections has been made and a copy of the registration scheme has been attached so that the user can quickly find his way around.
