Content and evaluation The files of the city administration of Wertheim from the 19th century did not reach the city archives until the 1950s and have therefore escaped the pertinence indexing at Haug´schen Today this delivery forms the core of the extensive inventory II, which mainly contains documents from the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. Some files, however, begin in the early 18th century or contain documents dating back to the 1980s. The order in which these documents were compiled followed the file plan of J. Külby, which was introduced for the Baden municipalities in 1906. The resulting order was retained when the documents were recorded, and the Külby file plan therefore forms the framework for the classification of documents within the holdings today. The files were recorded on index cards after their delivery to the Wertheim city archive and packaged for archiving. With the introduction of computer-assisted recording, the index cards were transferred to the now common MIDOSA archiving software. The data was later transferred to the new database program ScopeArchiv, which replaced MIDOSA. In the course of the preparation for the online publication of the finding aid, a number of previously unlisted units were recorded and integrated into the classification. The stock comprises 5042 units of description in 77.6 linear metres. Bronnbach, January 2016 Anna Spiesberger
The core of the so-called New Archive created around 1850 is essentially the tradition of the princely central administration (domain chancellery, cabinet) from the middle of the 19th century onwards, including the older records still in the registry at that time. In addition, the Bronnbach Monastery archive, which had initially remained at its original location, was incorporated into the New Archive. In addition, private correspondence and private documents of individual members of the Princely House have been received on a large scale, as well as a large part of the document tradition of the Princely Archives, which was still unrecorded in the middle of the 19th century. From the princely local administration it seems that at first only selection search material was transferred to the New Archive. Central administrative offices outside the domain office, such as the various cash registers, also seem to have hardly handed over any files to the New Archive. On the other hand, archive records from the Old Archive have been incorporated to a considerable extent into the New Archive, either through direct levies or via the registry of the Domain Chancellery. The holdings of the New Archive therefore overlap considerably with the tradition of the so-called Old Archive, both in terms of time and content.<br /><br />Content and Evaluation<br /><br />The New Archive, unlike the Old Archive, which is structured in small parts, is composed of a few broadly defined mixed holdings which, with the exception of the St. Lit. A special position within the New Archive is occupied by the holdings of Lit. St., which is the only one with a systematic structure and also predominantly contains documents from the period before 1806. The content of the various literatures overlaps to a greater or lesser extent. Ultimately, they do not have a clear thematic profile; to the extent that such a profile existed when the respective portfolio was created, it was usually broken through in the subsequent period. In the period that followed, archive records were also taken from the New Archive; this applies above all to the documents initially included in Lit. A, which were summarised around 1900 in a selection (US). Today, new database-supported finding aids are available for most of the Neues Archiv's holdings, which also prove the provenance of the documents.

The Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenbergsche Archiv contains the tradition of the Catholic line of the House of Löwenstein-Wertheim since the division of the line in 1611. The beginnings of the archive probably go back to the second half of the 17th century, when the two branches of the family that were in conflict began to establish their own central administrations. The Rosenberg Archive is the largest of the three former princely archives in terms of size; however, its tectonics of confirmation show various breaks as a result of rearrangement measures and are more strongly oriented towards pertinence than those of the other two princely archives, which makes its use more difficult overall. At its core, the archive consists of two extensive complexes of collections, which date back to two comprehensive attempts at order at the beginning and middle of the 19th century, but which were not consistently completed. The two complexes of holdings (the Old Archive with the so-called Rosa Repertories and the New Archive with the so-called Lit. holdings) overlap in many ways. The Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenbergsche Archiv contains not only the records of the princely central administration, but also archive material from almost all local administrations, including the offices of the left bank possessions lost in 1801. As a result of the transfer of files to the local administration, only the Bohemian possessions of the family are incompletely documented. In addition to the archives of princely provenance, various religious institutions have been handed down, above all the monasteries of Bronnbach and Neustadt a. Main as well as the Archbishopric of Mainz and the High Monastery of Würzburg, which reached the Princely House in the course of secularisation. In addition, the archive contains an extensive complex of private documents and estate papers of individual family members dating back to the 20th century.
