The Order of St John, which came into being with the crusade movement at the end of the 11th century, fell victim to secularisation at the beginning of the 19th century, as did all religious institutions. The German Grand Priory in Heitersheim (in the Breisgau region) was dissolved in 1805/6 with its subordinates, including those in the new Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Württemberg. The Brandenburg Bailiwick, which since the 14th century enjoyed a special position within the Grand Priorate of Germany strengthened by the conversion to Protestantism around 1540, was not secularised until 1811, but remained in existence in the form of an Order of Merit for persons of Protestant and Russian Orthodox denomination who deserved to serve the Prussian king, the royal house and the monarchy. In 1852 King Friedrich Wilhalm IV of Prussia restored the Ballei Brandenburg of the Order of St. John. The initiative for the revival of the Order and for the foundation of "cooperatives" in the Prussian provinces and in southern Germany also proceeded from it. The development in Württemberg was concluded in June 1858 with the award of corporate law, i.e. the status of a legal entity, to the "Cooperative of Knights of the Bailiwick Brandenburg of the Order of St John of Wuerttemberg in the Kingdom of Württemberg" residing in Stuttgart. It was joined by knights from Baden and - until the foundation of a cooperative society in the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1888 - also by Bavarian knights. There was no intention to found a cooperative of its own for Baden several times, so in 1906 the cooperative was renamed "Württembergisch-Badensche Genossenschaft des Johanniterordens". Since 1978 it has been called "Baden-Württembergische Kommende des Johanniterordens". It was originally a legal person by royal Württemberg sovereign act and is now a non-profit registered association of civil law. The Baden-Württemberg Kommende of the Order of St John is subordinated to the Ballei Brandenburg, which is subdivided into a total of 20 cooperatives or Kommende. At the head of the Order, which also includes Johanniter groups in Belgium, Austria, the USA and South Africa, is the Master of Masters, who is elected by the Chapter, the supreme decision-making body. His deputy is the governor of the order. The members of the order are classified as honorary knights, legal knights, commentators, honorary comedians or honorary members, depending on their activity or their probation. The Baden-Württemberg Kommende is headed by a "Governing Commentator", who exercises his office together with the board (convention) of the cooperative. On the knight days, which are held annually, pending questions are discussed. As tasks of the order the statute of the Ballei Brandenburg of 24.6.1853, also binding for the Württemberg cooperative, specifies above all the "defence of the Christian religion in particular of the Protestant confession", the "fight against unbelief", as well as the "service and (the) care of the sick" as tasks of the order. An expansion of the tasks took place with the statute of the Baden-Württembergische Kommende of 30 September 1978 § 2 (2): "The purpose of the association is the promotion of the general public through care and assistance for the sick, the elderly, the physically and economically weak, as well as young people and children. The Association carries out this activity in hospitals, old people's homes and other social institutions, as well as through affiliated working and auxiliary communities. In times of external and internal danger, the Association is particularly dedicated to "the wounded, the sick and other injured". In addition to their historically founded, intensive diaconal commitment, the Kommende is characterised by a pronounced cultural commitment. It is supported by three pillars: the archive, the library and the museum. The Archive of the Order has been located in the Main State Archive in Stuttgart since 1969. The Johanniter Library was founded after World War II. It contains valuable bibliophile works from six centuries, especially from the history of the order. Since 2007, the library has been housed as a deposit in the Badische Landesbibliothek Karlsruhe. The Johanniter Museum Krautheim a. d. Jagst is a joint institution of the town and the Kommende. The historical building, which was originally owned by the Order of St John and then by the Teutonic Order, now belongs to the city, the exhibits of the Kommende. The museum was opened in 1978 and was given a new appearance in 2006 on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the city. The Commentators of the Baden-Württemberg Commentaries: 1858-1868 Frhr.

For the documents received in 1969, there is already a completed find book available which was produced in 1970 by the inspector candidate Renate Pruschek. The since then existing taxes of June 1983, May 1984, August and September 1988, which were made by the Commentator of the Baden-Württembergische Kommende Friedrich Ritter von Molo and by the Hohenlohe-Zentralarchiv Neuenstein, have been combined to a partial stock and are indexed in the present find book. The recording initially took place as part of the training of the archive inspector candidates Corinna Pfisterer, Regina Keyler, Bettina Herrmann under the guidance of archive assessor Dr. Peter Schiffer from July to September 1988. From October 1988 to March 1989, archive inspector Sabine Schnell, among others, made the remaining title recordings and carried out the final work. Since the stock was recorded by several editors, it was not always possible to design the title recordings uniformly. A pre-archival order of the files is not recognizable, therefore the structure of the find book of Pruschek served as basis for the present find book. However, a modification was necessary. In order to avoid overlaps in the order numbers, order number 401 was used for the distortion of the present partial stock. In particular, the inventory contains files on the organisation and administration of the cooperative. Insights into the tasks of the cooperative are rather provided by the publications and journals received, the existing books provide information above all about the general history of the order. Personal documents of the commentators on membership and function in the Order remained in the private estates of the Hohenlohe Central Archives in Neuenstein. The listed documents have a total duration from (1714-1719) 1853 to 1987. Since the stock is property of the Johanniterorden, no cassations were made. The partial stock P 7/2 comprises 293 units with 8.3 m running time. The finding aid was created with the help of data processing on the basis of the MIDOSA program package of the State Archive Administration of Baden-Württemberg.
Foreword: The German Confederation, a confederation of states created by the Federal Act of 8 June 1815 at the Congress of Vienna, initially comprised 34 sovereign princes and four free cities, the last 28 of which were sovereign princes. It also included Denmark for Holstein and Lauenburg, England for Hanover (until 1837) and the Netherlands for Luxembourg and Limburg (from 1839). The only federal body was the Federal Assembly (also known as the Bundestag) in Frankfurt a. M., which met for the first time on 5 November 1816 after lengthy preliminary negotiations and was chaired by Austria as the presidential power. It was responsible for various commissions and other institutions such as the Federal Chancellery Directorate, the Military Commission, the Central Investigation Commission and the Federal Central Authority. The development of the German Confederation into a nation state remained impossible due to the guaranteed sovereignty of the member states and due to the dualism of the two great powers Austria and Prussia as well as the close connection of Austria to its non-German territories. The expansion of the Federal Constitution in the reactionary sense became disastrous. The resulting revolution of 1848/49 sought to transform the German Confederation into a national federal state. The Federal Assembly delegated its powers to the Imperial Administrator and ceased its activities on 28 June 1848. After the failure of the revolution, Austria restored the Bundestag in the summer of 1850, initially against Prussia. Prussia and its allies also returned to the Bundestag after the failure of the Union plans of Olomouc and the Dresden Conferences on the Reform of the Confederation, which resumed its activities on 14 May 1851. Further attempts at reform failed in the aftermath. The German Confederation finally broke up in the Austrian-Prussian conflict. In the Prague Peace of August 1866, Austria recognised the dissolution of the Confederation. The Württemberg legation to the Bundestag or the provisional central power for Germany 1848/49 existed from 1815 to 1866. It had to report all political matters negotiated in the Federal Assembly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry then decided on the further course of action and arranged for the Frankfurt resolutions to be enforced within Württemberg. Like the department so also the files about the Bundestag affairs had a prominent position in the ministry. Own diaries kept separately from the diaries of the main registry can be traced from November 1816 to December 1849 (E 59 Vol. 181-231). In order to distinguish between the general documents of the Ministry kept in blue envelopes, these files were filed in reddish fascicles, as laid down in paragraph 14a of the Rules of Business Procedure of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of January 1824 (E 40/31 Bü 32). The allocation of the file numbers seems to have taken place initially according to an alphabetical structure (as described in the preface of the finding aid book to fonds E 65). But this scheme must soon have proved to be useless. In any case, in the twenties the registry was reorganized, whereby a new system was introduced with light fact file approaches according to chronological order. Only in the series of envoy reports was the old order maintained until about 1845. Between 1872 and 1904, the files must have been transferred from the secret registry of the Ministry to the Directorate of Archives. After temporary storage in the Staatsfilialarchiv Ludwigsburg, they were forwarded to the Staatsarchiv Stuttgart for safekeeping. The Staatsfilialarchiv also drew up lists of items for sale ("Bundesakten" Verz. ad 57 and "Zoll- und Handelssachen" Lit. F). At the time of the transfer, cassations also appear to have been provided for after entries on various envelopes, but these were then omitted for reasons no longer known. The present directory unites the files of the Foreign Ministry concerning the Württemberg Bundestag legation in Frankfurt a. M. from various holdings. The main part consists of archival documents from E 65 Verz. 24, 40 and 57 and E 36 Lit. F. Furthermore, some legation files, which had already been recorded in the eighties, were moved here. The archival records summarised under the keyword "complaints" were dissolved and structured according to the principle of fact files in the same way as the entire holdings. Files that did not come into existence until after the dissolution of the German Confederation in 1866 were assigned to the corresponding holdings of E 40, as were documents originating from other ministries that were returned there according to the principle of provenance. Only empty envelopes of some of the files rearranged in the ministry were left; these were collected. Minutes of the Federal Assembly from October 1816 to 1863 and of the Military Commission from 1837 to 1861 are available in the printed matter room of the Main State Archives. Other Military Commission protocols are also held in E 40/72 Bü 250-262. These logs were therefore not recorded in the record. Old pagination is obsolete. The collection paints a very vivid picture of the time of the German Confederation and the provisional central power in 1848/49 throughout Germany. It contains documents about the resolutions of the Bundestag and their implementation in Württemberg and thus also material about events in Württemberg. The countertradition - albeit to a much lesser extent - is in stock E 65. The indexing took place from 1980 to 1983 and from 1997 within the framework of training by the archive trainees Ronald Asch, Irmtraud Betz, Ernst Otto Bräunche, Elke Koch, Carl-Jochen Müller, Andreas Schmauder, Wolfgang Stetter and Volker Trugenberger as well as by the archive inspector candidates André Kayser, Thomas Krause, Sandra Krischel, Alexander Rantasa, Caroline Schach and Nicole Schütz. Wilfried Braunn then recorded the rest. The online-capable classification of the stock as well as the further editorial work were taken over by the undersigned. The transfer of the title recordings in MIDOSA 95 datasets, which were made on the index forms, was carried out by Ms. Tanja Bürger, Ms. Anna-Maria Diener and Ms. Gisela Filipitsch; Wilhelm Gieb and Doris Köhler took care of the packaging of the archive boxes. The present collection now contains 1737 numbers (the serial number 1433 is not documented) in the range of 43.1 linear metres with a running time from 1815 to 1866, including pre-files from 1771 and post-files up to 1875. Individual documents on economic history up to 1833 can be found in printed form: Prehistory and justification of the German Customs Association 1815-1834. Files of the states of the German Confederation and the European powers. Arranged by W. v. Eisenhart Rothe and A. Ritthaler, Volume I-III, Berlin 1934 Stuttgart, June 2001 Wilfried Braunn Sabine Schnell
The history of the authorities: Within the Ministry of the Interior established in Stuttgart in 1806, Department IV was responsible for local government matters. In the course of the dissolution of the four district governments (established in 1817/18), in June 1924 the Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration was established as a middle instance affiliated to the Ministry of the Interior, which existed until 1934 parallel to Department IV within the Ministry (cf. holdings E 180 I-VII in the State Archives Ludwigsburg). After 1934 the ministerial department was only a department of the interior ministry. In 1945, responsibilities were divided regionally between the newly established state administrations of the interior in Stuttgart and Tübingen. From 1952, the newly established regional councils of Stuttgart and Tübingen were given the same responsibilities to a large extent as had previously been assigned to the ministerial department as the central authority of the interior administration. The eleven to thirteen business units or Division IV's papers essentially covered the main areas of responsibility: church and corporate matters:Membership of local authorities, changes in regional, district and municipal authorities, national emblems, municipal names; representation and administration of official bodies and municipalities, supervision of administration, visits, state supervisory municipalities; legal relationships of civil servants and employees of official bodies and municipalities, salaries, pensions, accident and health care;Supervision of the asset management of municipalities and official bodies, budget matters, foundations, accounting; municipal uses, real community rights; publications of municipalities and official bodies; savings banks; taxation, finance statistics; water matters general and individual, division into three ("technical") business divisions or The three regionally defined districts I, II and III have departments for the organisation and distribution of responsibilities. The files E 151/01 (Chancellery Directorate of the Ministry of the Interior) Bü 284, 285, 289, 753, 774 contain information on the organisation and distribution of responsibilities. Processor's report: The records of Department IV - Municipal Affairs of the Ministry of the Interior were previously available in the partial inventories: E 151 d I : Handover register from 1956 with a special register from 1966 for the files concerning the State contributions to the water supply of the municipalities (both now part of inventory E 151/41);E 151 d II : Handover register of 1958 (now part of inventory E 151/41) with a special register of the files of the Ministry of the Interior on municipal finance statistics received via the State Statistical Office (now inventory E 151/44);E 151 d III: Handover register from 1981, partly with files, which have entered the Main State Archives via the Regierungspräsidium (now part of the holdings E 151/41);E 151 d IV : Documents concerning the Sparkassenwesen (now part of the stock E 151/41), received with the files of the stock E 151 d III; a special list of personnel files of the municipal and corporate officials of 1966 (now stock E 151/42) and a special list of job files of the local heads of 1966 (now stock E 151/43). as the overview shows, the files concerning the state contributions to the municipal water supply were included in the files of the same subject from the delivery of 1958 (AZ. IV 2499), arranged according to counties, arranged in the same subject from the delivery of 1958 (AZ. IV 2499) (AZ. IV 2499). These documents comprise 2.8 linear metres and can now be found under the signature E 151/41 Bü 1110-1144. The provisionally formed part of the savings banks sector was also dissolved. The file group was added to the main holdings E 151/41, and a separation of provenance was also carried out between files of the Ministry of the Interior (4.6 linear metres) and files of the Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration (2.9 linear metres). m) ClassificationSince it was no longer possible to determine a file plan of the municipal department of the Ministry of the Interior from the time before 1945, the order and classification of the holdings was established on the basis of the file numbers assigned throughout (from department number IV and a file number of up to four digits, recorded in the Findbuch as the first preliminary signature). This procedure proved to be useful insofar as after 1945 the files continued to be filed according to this registry plan and were thus also transferred to the Main State Archives in 1956, 1958, 1962 and 1981 ( cf. the holdings EA 2/401-404 ).The structure of the holdings attempts a reconstruction of the file plan. In addition, some older files still have a box/special signature, which was not taken into account, however, as a presignature in the recording. The few tufts on school matters within the Ministry of the Interior are, however, to be found in fonds E 151/02 (Ministry of the Interior Department II). The order of tufts of files within individual series according to districts is based on the administrative division according to the Law on the Division of the Land of 25 April 1938 ( Reg.Bl. für Württemberg vom 3.5.1938). In general, provenance separations as well as a separation of pre- and post-files (cut-off date 8 May 1945) were made in the indexing, provided that it was not only a matter of individual documents whose removal from the present set of files would not have made sense (see list following the preface).Larger cassations were not carried out, only duplicates, other duplicates and a few tufts were sorted out (0.4 m). In November 1990, Dorothee Breucker, an archivist, began the cataloguing of the holdings. She was in charge of the main part of the order and indexing work (indexing of tufts 1 to 997 and 1101 to 1256 as well as separation of provenances and pre- and post-production work). Within the framework of the practical training of participants of the 26th and 27th semesters of the Second World War, the Commission has developed a new training programme. The students of the second Fachhochschule course worked on the drawing with Daniela Deckwart (Bü 1110-1144, drawing and classification), Nicole Röck (Bü 1257-1265), Thomas Schreiner (Bü 1266-1268), 1317-1330), Katja Hoffmann (Bü 1269-1301, 1315, 1316), Edith Holzer (Bü 1302a-1314, 1285a), Armin Braun (Bü 1331-1356, 1358, 1359), Andrea Rößler (Bü 1360-1379), Hartmut Obst (Bü 1380-1391). Working student Ulrike Kirchberger (Bü 1392-1413) and Archivoberinspektorin Sabine Schnell (Bü 1424-1557) finished the indexing; the latter also took over the final editing of the find book. Archivist Wilhelmine Kovacs took care of the demetallization of the files as well as smaller repairs and the packing of the tufts in archive boxes.The title entries were recorded on MIDETIT forms, the find book was created with the help of the MIDOSA program package of the Baden-Württemberg State Archive Administration. The E 151/41 collection now contains 48.5 linear metres of files with a running time of (1814) 1820-1945, with a few follow-up files up to 1955 (1965). The majority of the files date from around 1900. the partial holdings E 151/42 comprise 1.7 linear metres, E 151/43 2.3 linear metres and E 151/44 14 linear metres of written records.

Authority history: Almost every administrative branch has its own specific police force. King Frederick, when structuring the state administration according to departments, subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior the police which did not belong to such a certain department, but with two exceptions:1. he transferred the state police to a special police ministry;2. the censorship business was transferred from 1808-1811 to a censorship college which was first under the control of the cabinet ministry, then the police ministry, and on 30 November 1811 with the abolition of censorship ceased its activities for the time being. As a result of the Karlovy Vary decisions, a separate censorship commission existed from 1819, which was only dissolved with the decree of March 1, 1848. there are uncertainties regarding the exact origin of the business part III of the Ministry of the Interior. 1922 the business part III with the departments A (police department) and B (police command office) developed from the initially existing two ministerial departments police administration (treatment of legal questions) and order police (later police command office, as command authority of the state executive police). The business divider of 14 October 1922 states the following responsibilities:A Police department1.General information on the entire police sector2.Measures against anti-state activities3.Damage caused by civil unrest4.Freedom of movement, passports, registration5.Prisons6.Ownership and use of weapons7.Security police, customs police8.Associations9.Press police, press censorship10.Aviation police11.Ranger Corps12.State Local Police and Protection Police13.State Criminal Investigation14.Local Police15.Technical Emergency Assistance16.State and Reich Budget and Accounting ResultsB Police Command CentreI.Preparation of Technical Cooperation of the Whole Police in the Event of Unrest II.Protection Police (if Not in A)1.Affairs of Members of the Protection Police2.Medical and veterinary services3.accommodation and management of equipment, weapons, firearms, horses, vehicles and other equipment4.accommodation of closed organisations and management of the buildings, rooms and places used for this purpose5.implementation of the State budget in so far as it relates to matters B II 1-46.Participation in the state police intelligence service, insofar as the interests of the protective police are affected7. security measures before the intervention of the protective police,technical measures during their interventionWith the second amendment of the above-mentioned division of business in August 1927, division III was given the designation Police (police department), which was no longer divided into A and B. In October 1927, business part III was placed under the jurisdiction of the First Ministerial Director of the Ministry of the Interior, and in connection with the abolition of business part VII, responsibility for Wehrmacht affairs and foreign legion was transferred to the police department. The political police took over the previous tasks of the political police of the Stuttgart Police Headquarters at the same time as the State Criminal Police Office and at the same time released the police president in Stuttgart from his office. It became the general central intelligence collection point for Württemberg, the head of the political police was the general rapporteur in the Ministry of the Interior for measures against anti-state activities, the imposition, implementation and abolition of the state of emergency, defence against espionage, associations and assemblies, press police, freedom of movement, alien police, registration and passports, border traffic and expulsions for security reasons. Also in 1933, the position of commander of the Württemberg protective police was created in the Ministry of the Interior in accordance with the decree of the Police Commissioner for the State of Württemberg. He was directly subordinate to the First Ministerial Director, who was in charge of the personnel officers of the police officers and on-call officers, for training and operations, for air and gas protection, for intelligence, for weapons, ammunition and equipment, including motor vehicles, and for the two police training departments. The commander of the Schutzpolizei was an inspector of the entire uniformed State Police (cf. diagram). On 7 October 1933, the minister approved a new business division of the police department: Business Part III A: Police without business circle of the Württembergische Schutzpolizei and without political policeBusiness Part III B: Commander of the Württembergische SchutzpolizeiBusiness Part III C: Political policeIn the course of the further separation of the Landespolizei from the Schutzpolizei, it became necessary to change Business Parts III A and III B. The change of the business parts III A and III B was necessary in the course of the further separation of the Landespolizei from the Schutzpolizei. Business Part III B now received the designation Reichszwischenbefehlsstelle für die Polizei Stuttgart (RZB. Stuttgart). With the transfer of the Provincial Police to the administration of the Reich on April 1, 1935, Business Section III B was completely eliminated: Business Part III A :Police DepartmentBusiness Part III B :Staff Officer of the Police Department asDecentrant for Police DepartmentBusiness Part III C :Political PoliceBusiness Part III D :Commander of the Gendarmerie as Department for Gendarmerie DepartmentBusiness Part III E :Imperial Defence and Wehrmacht AffairsBy order of the 5th General Assembly of the German Armed Forces, the Federal Armed Forces and the German Armed Forces, the Federal Armed Forces and the German Armed Forces, the Federal Armed Forces and the German Armed Forces, the Federal Armed Forces and the Federal Armed Forces. In June 1941, the Higher SS and Police Leader was assigned to manage and handle police affairs at the Reichsstatthaltern in Württemberg and Baden in Wehrkreis V and at the head of the civil administration in Alsace, SS-Gruppenführer and Lieutenant General of the Kaul Police. His field of activity comprised the business units III A, III B, III C, III D as well as the deployment of the fire police and the fire brigades as well as the participation in affairs of the Reich defence, as far as the police was affected. The previous business unit III E remained as an independent business unit. Adapted to the business distribution plan drawn up by the Reichsführer SS, in 1943 business division VII of the Ministry of the Interior went from business division III A to business division III B to fire-fighting, fire-fighting director of the Land, fire-fighting fund of the Land to regulation and supervision of road traffic business division III C to traffic with explosives. Documents on organisation can be found in fonds E 151/01 (Ministry of the Interior, Chancellery Directorate) Büschel 284, 285 and 288. Reference is also made to the fonds of the Ministry of the Interior in the Main State Archives E 141, E 143, E 146, E 150 and E 151/... for the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, which, due to the changing specialist responsibilities within the departments of the Ministry of the Interior, partly contain processes on the same topics and should therefore be examined in parallel. For the tradition since 1945, the resistance group EA 2 (Ministry of the Interior, Provincial Police Headquarters) is to be consulted.In addition to the holdings E 151/03, the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart was able in 1995 to acquire on microfilm from the Bremen State Archives the Political Situation Reports of the Württemberg State Police Office, the Ministry of the Interior's News Collection Centre from 1922-1934 and the Situation Reports of the Baden State Police Office in Karlsruhe from 1924-1933, stored there as recipient records, which can be found under the inventory signature J 383 No. 716 a-f. Inventory history: Present repertory unites documents from the inventories:E 151 c I: Secret files from the registry IIIb concerning air-raid protection:1954 transferred from the Federal Archives Koblenz to the Main State Archives. the files had been confiscated in April 1945 in the alternative office Garmisch-Partenkirchen of the Reich Ministry of the Interior by American troops. In 1950, the American Document Center Rear in Darmstadt returned the files to the Federal Ministry of the Interior in Bonn, from where they were transferred to the Federal Archives in March 1953. The entire inventory was now transferred to E 151/03.E 151 c II: Ministry of the Interior V, Department III:1958, together with the transfer register via the Ludwigsburg State Archives to the Main State Archives.For the (new) bundle numbers E 151/03 Bü. 44-46 (Ausweisungen) and E 151/03 Bü. 707-709 as well as EA 2/301 Bü. 294-300 (Vereine) there are two special directories from 1966.inventory now complete in E 151/03 (files until 1945) Nachakte (ab 1945) in EA 2/301.E 151 c III: Akten des Geschäftsteils Rv (Reichsverteidigung):1963 vom Bundesarchiv Koblenz übergeben.It concerns a part of those files of the Württemberg Ministry of the Interior which had been transferred to the USA at the end of the war and later reached the Federal Archives as part of an extensive mixed stock from the American file depot in Alexandria. Stock now completely in E 151/03.E 151 b II: Delivery of the Ministry of the Interior:1958 to the State Archives Ludwigsburg, from there 1969 to the Main State Archives.E 151 b III: Delivery of the Ministry of the Interior:1952 to the Regierungspräsidium Nordwürttemberg, 1964 to the Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg, 1973 to the Hauptstaatsarchiv passed on. The two earlier holdings E 151 b II and E 151 b III are now part of E 151/02. From this the files about Wehrmacht affairs were assigned to the present holdings E 151/03. EA 2/301 (now EA 2/301): Ministry of the Interior, State Police Headquarters: Incorporated in the Main State Archives in 1979. Files up to 1945 were assigned to E 151/03, conversely documents from 1945 onwards were taken from E 151/03 and classified according to EA 2/301.EA 2/303: Ministry of the Interior, Landespolizeipräsidium:1990 arrived at the Hauptstaatsarchiv.Previous files up to 1945 were moved to E 151/03.EL 21/3: Regierungspräsidium Nordwürttemberg, Abteilung:1998 from the Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg to the Hauptstaatsarchiv. Processor's report: Since no file plan is available, the structure of the stock is oriented to the file number, consisting of III, often also P.A. (for the business part of the police department) and an Arabic number (for the file subject), which is not assigned continuously, but mostly. Only occasionally is the responsible department indicated in Latin capital letters (A, B, C, D, E). After the organizational changes of 1933, the abbreviation P.P. for the Political Police is sometimes found. The files of the areas Reichsverteidigung and Wehrmachtangelegenheiten are provided with their own file numbers (Rv or VII and Arabic number due to earlier affiliation to business part VII); they are listed at the end of the inventory. Since the file numbers of these documents could only be used conditionally for a classification and several file layers were available at the same time, a temporal cut around the year 1933 was set here afterwards. The information on the size of the file tufts includes the number of quadrangles, provided that these were assigned throughout. From 1987 to 1989, Alexander Brunotte, Anita Hefele, Kurt Hochstuhl and Petra Schön made the title recordings. Wolfgang Schmierer made the first corrections in 1989. Martin Luchterhandt carried out the determination and removal or division of tufts with pre and post files, an initial classification scheme and the computer-assisted recording of title recordings in 1993. The editorial processing according to the guidelines for manuscript preparation for publications of the Landesarchivdirektion Baden-Württemberg was carried out by Signatories. The indication of the preliminary signatures, which do not appear in the present printed volume at the request of the editor, can be found in the more detailed reproduced archive repertory to the holdings E 151/03.The period of validity of the files extends from 1812 to 1945 with isolated files up to 1955.The holdings E 151/03 now comprise 1196 numbers (the tuft numbers 323, 1125 and 1139 as well as the serial number 800 are not documented) with 47.5 m length.Stuttgart, in September 1998Sabine Schnell
On the history of the authorities: The responsibility for the surveying and marking department, which was part of the Ministry of the Interior in the 19th century, and the cadastral office, which was part of the Finance Administration, and the andes surveying department was initially transferred to the Finance Administration by the Law on the Ministry of State and the Ministries of 6 November 1926 (Reg.Bl. p.239). With the law of 3 July 1934 (Reichsges.Bl. p.534), surveying became a matter of gauge and was thus entrusted to the Reich Ministry of the Interior. Subsequently, in accordance with the decree of 28 August 1936 of the Reich and Prussian Minister of the Interior, the institutions still directly belonging to the State of Württemberg (Topographisches Bureau) were to be combined in the Ministry of the Interior, whereupon the decree on the reorganization of surveying in Württemberg of 10 October 1936 (Reg.Bl. p.115) transferred the responsibility for surveying and marking from the fiscal administration to the Ministry of the Interior, and the State Inspectorate for the Corporate Surveying Service and the Topographical Department of the State Statistical Office (as Topographical Bureau) were affiliated to the Ministry of the Interior (Department XII). Inventory history and report: The documents were indexed by Bernd Geil, Ulrike Glogger and Matthias Grotz as part of the practical training of the 32nd Fachhochschule training course of the upper archive service, the final processing was carried out by Bernd Geil, Ulrike Glogger and Matthias Grotz, the signatures. Due to the pre-proveniences of the Royal Tax College and the State Tax Office, the State Technical Office, the Ministry of Finance and finally the Ministry of the Interior, various file reference levels were found. The current order follows the file number of Department XII of the Ministry of the Interior attached to the majority of the files. 0.5 linear metres of files of the provenance of the Royal Tax College or the State Tax Office were transferred to the State Archives Ludwigsburg (there stock E 251 IV). In addition, documents from the provenance of the Ministry of Finance (0.05 running metres) were assigned to inventory E 222 b (now inventory E 222a, status: 2004). 0.2 linear metres from the period before 1945 were removed from inventory EA 2/203 and integrated into the existing inventory. Provenance separations were only carried out in those cases in which this appeared to be reasonable in terms of scope and file structure. The main duplicates collected amounted to 0.06 linear metres. Reference should be made to the following holdings, which contain supplementary documents:Im Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg:Technisches Landesamt (EL 72 I, EL 72 II)Landesfinanzamt (E 252 II)K. Steuerkollegium (E 251 I-IV)Landesvermessungsamt (EL 68)In the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart:Ministry of Finance (E 221, E 222, E 222a)Ministry of the Interior, Personalakte Vermessungsbediensteter (E 151/22) The inventory now comprises 6.9 linear metres. m with 208 tufts (order numbers 1-209, no. 180 is not documented) with a running time of 1818-1945 with isolated files until 1951. The predominant part of the files originates from the 20th century.Stuttgart, January 1995Sabine Schnell
