In October 1810 special customs courts had been established in Mainz, Cologne and Wesel by imperial decree. The Higher Court for appeals against judgments of Cologne and Mainz was in Nancy, for Wesel in Valenciennes (Bär, Behördengeschichte p. 56). In 1812, a special customs tribunal was erected in Düsseldorf in the Grand Duchy of Berg (Bär, Behördengeschichte p. 66), the files to be cited: Rep. 14/ Number (an older serial numbering is given in brackets, for the numbering in the former Roerdepartement, special courts see the old Findbuch D 2/7) NotesIn October 1810 special customs courts in Mainz, Cologne and Wesel had been established by imperial decree.

The collection "Landratsamt Monschau mit der Signatur BR 0036" covers the period between 1816 and 1972 and consists of 433 files arranged according to subject areas. In the years 1887 and 1941, files from the Monschau District Office were taken over by the HSA Düsseldorf. The district of Monschau was formed in 1816 from the municipalities of Eicherscheid, Höfen, Imgenbroich, Kalterherberg, Kesternich, Konzen, Lammersdorf, Monschau, Mützenich, Roetgen, Rohren, Rott, Ruhrberg (later Rurberg), Schmidt, Simmerath, Steckenborn, Strauch, Vossenack and Zweifall. Monschau was at the same time the district town. Later these churches were divided into the following five ministries: Amt Imgenbroich (Eicherscheid. Imgenbroich, Konzen and Mützenich), Amt Kalterherberg (Kalterherberg, Höfen, Rohre), Amt Kesternich (Kesternich, Rurberg, Schmidt, Steckenborn, Strauch), Amt Roetgen (Roetgen, Rott, Zweifall), Amt Simmerath (Simmerath, Lammersdorf, Vossenack). Previously the district was called Montjoie and has only since 1918 the today's name Monschau. Until 1945 the district of Monschau belonged to the Prussian administrative district of Aachen in the Rhine province. From 1945 the district belonged to the British occupation zone and from 1946 to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In 1949, the district of Monschau changed to the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which belonged to the administrative district of Aachen. In 1972 the district of Monschau was dissolved in the course of the municipal restructuring and almost completely integrated into the district of Aachen. The Monschau District Office had a double function. As an actual organ of the administrative district the office had to fulfill tasks of the country and the national administration. The holdings of the Monschau District Office include subjects such as district administration, municipal administration, construction, immigration and emigration, railways, fishing, forestry, agriculture, melioration, health care, military, trade and commerce, churches, police and schools. The files are to be ordered and quoted with indication of the inventory signature and current no., e.g. BR 0036 No. 72 Literature: Pilgram, Hans: Der Landkreis Monschau, Bonn 1958.

Introduction The holdings comprise the documents of the "Präsidialregistratur" (list of files = No. 1672 I, II, see footnote 1) which were handed over in a small accession (= No. 1619-1671, formerly Reg. Düsseldorf 1-52) in 1879, mainly to the Hauptstaatsarchiv in 1931/32. The presidential registry grew out of the "presidialia" or "presidential pieces" that had arisen in the Council of State from the direct administrative activities of the President of the Government. On the one hand, they referred to special personal responsibilities of the RP such as personnel matters, recommendations and information, representation, regular reports ("newspaper reports"), the Board of Trustees of the Mint and the Art Academy (both in Düsseldorf). On the other hand, the presidential office dealt with matters that were the responsibility of the individual departments of the government, provided that the RP had reserved the execution or at least the signature for itself (cf. the overview in No. 1672 I pp. 8 f.). The holdings of "Präsidialbüro" are thus to be used in addition to almost all the individual holdings groups of the Düsseldorf government until the end of their term (1927/29, cf. below). The presidential office is not to be confused with the "presidential department" existing from 1888 to 1932, which basically only represented a renaming of Abbot I (Abbot of the Interior). From 1897 to 1927 the presidential office bore the name "Centralbureau" (registry C.B., from 1905 C.B. I). The subjects "Social Democracy and Anarchism" (subject 35a of the file index) were summarized from 1905 in an own registry (C.B. II: political police), the subject "Mobilisation" (subject 47 No. 44-285 of the file index) from 1914 likewise (registry "Mob.", therein also First World War altogether including consequences) (see footnote 2). In 1928 the central office was followed by the "Geschäftskreis Pr.". In 1932 this was incorporated in the Dept. l = General Department (see footnote 3). The structure of the present finding aid book was drawn up largely freely, loosely based on the classification of files in file directory No 1672 (see footnote 4). The holdings comprise 1638 archive units (1672 warehouse numbers plus a-numbers minus unused numbers and losses). The total duration of the stock ranges from 1816 to 1927 (in only a few exceptional cases until 1932). In the case of multi-volume files, the volume count in the finding aid book occasionally deviates from the volume count on the file covers, since number jumps and double counts occur there. For small files, the number of sheets (usually l0 or less) was given. The files are to be ordered and quoted with BR 4 warehouse number. The stock was newly recorded from 1980 to 1984 with interruptions by OStAR Dr. Lück.

Preliminary remark 1: The classification has been changed to a purely numerical classification for retroconversion. The classification in the table of contents differs from the classification in the units of registration. The classification has been adopted within the index part units of description. Since the stock has received comparatively little attention in research so far, the old signatures have not been included. It may be necessary to look up the old finding aid book, which is part of the inventory. 2) The former item 19 (old Findbuch, p.359ff.): Courts in Düsseldorf (Kassationshof, Appellationshof, Kriminalgerichtshof, Kreisgericht (Tribunal 1. Instanz), Notariatskammern and Friedensgericht Ratingen) - except for one file of the Kreisgericht Düsseldorf (see under 16.1.) - were transferred to the Zweigarchiv Kalkum (old Findbuch, note p.1 by Mrs. Dr. Joester of 28.8. 1974). 3. there is as unlisted remainder a cardboard box at the end of storage of the inventory ("misdirected" from files of the Generalgouvernement). They must be placed elsewhere or a separate title must be created. A folder is pre-identified. According to Dr. Joester, they are sorted according to the files from which they were taken, from bottom to top. 4. the bibliography has been supplemented. Dr. Richter, 11.9. 2006

General information The files combined in this finding aid book originate from different registry layers as well as from different registries. In the main, they comprise from the old central office of the government (i.e. the Presidential Division CB I) the former subjects 35 (Public Peace and Mood), 35a (Social Democracy and Anarchism), 36 (Forbidden Links, Supervision of Individual Suspicious Individuals) as well as 47 (so-called Registrar's Office MOB). This latter registry grew into a comprehensive processing area for the mobilization, the war of 1914/18, the economic and military demobilization, as well as the entire occupation-related opportunities. The confusion led to a radical reorganization of the CB II (or CB III) registry around 1922, with a new division of the subject and a focus on occupation issues and political affairs. The special circumstances of the occupation period necessitated a branch of the district government in Krefeld. In 1920/21, the latter had its own registry, as did the district president Grützner during his expulsions in Barmen (February 1923 to April 1924) and Bielefeld (April-September 1924). The files of the so-called Essen Reporting Office are integrated into the inventory. This is one of the Provincial Public Order Supervision Services established at the instigation of the State Commissioner for Public Order, Robert Weismann, in August 1919. On 15 November 1920 a special registration office for the administrative district of Düsseldorf was set up, and Jürgens, the councillor of the district court, was appointed head of this office on 30 November 1920. On 10 March 1921 the registration office was moved from Düsseldorf to Essen, on 29 July 1927 it was moved back to Düsseldorf and integrated into the CB II department, where it existed until the end of 1922. The Reporting Office collected news about the political and economic movements in its area from the police and administrative authorities and from the press, stimulated the intervention of the executive branch on the basis of the news it received and reported continuously by the President of the Government to the Chief President in Münster, in important cases immediately to the State Commissioner. The documents and newspaper clippings were originally stapled together in notebooks marked M ff. At the end of 1922 Faszikel was created and newly signed (A lff., B lff. etc.). That reorganisation was carried out up to the letter M, with the exception of the files relating to the crew, which were not stapled. Of the following letters, only a few particularly important files have been stapled. The records of the Essen Reporting Office and also of the CB II registry from 1922 ff. are partly very inconsistent, they tend above all to the formation of very narrow subject matters (or institutions concerning) and therefore show partly very thin fascicles. Also included in the inventory are the documents of various authorities and organisations of the transitional economy (above all price control and usury control) as well as the opportunities for occupation. The documents of the German delegation to Düsseldorf for the implementation of the London Agreements of 1924 are particularly worthy of mention here. The German delegations in Düsseldorf and Koblenz were headed by Johannes Horion, Governor of the State of Düsseldorf, whose permanent deputy in the Düsseldorf delegation was the Privy Councillor Dr. Claussen. The delegation, which had its seat first in the Landeshaus, and since 24 November 1924 in the government building, began its activities in September and ended them in December 1924. Occasionally, documents of the District President Abbot CB II are attached to the files. These files were handed over by the Düsseldorf government in 1934. Professor Wentzcke saw others in the possession of the late governor Horion. The files of the district police commissioner Otto Kammhoff in Elberfeld make up a numerically large but not so important part. For a critical assessment of the source value of these files, the personal file of Kammhoff is to be consulted (No. 15993). The files summarized in the present find book extend from the middle of the 19th century to about 1944, with the emphasis on the labour movement since 1880, the First World War and the post-war period until about 1928. From the later years there are files of the police department only for 1931/32 and a few from the foreigner surveillance of the Second World War. The archivability is given in the majority; often the arrangement of a permanent storage is to be understood only from the special situation (crew defense). For reasons of a closed overdelivery, which is in itself also a document, however, it was decided not to carry out subsequent individual cassations. Due to the fragmentation of the authorities' activities (headquarters in Düsseldorf, branch office in Krefeld, registry of the district president), numerous multiple documents have been produced, as well as the simultaneous reporting to superior offices.

Discriminatory title formulations due to time constraints were left, but the title formation was corrected by additions or explanations in the Include note. Especially out of the anti-occupation defence files have been formulated under a title, which assumes a much more far-reaching fact than actually going facts. The same title structure was retained for general and special files. The terms, however, are uniformly reproduced as general; individual cases or accompanying acts (instead of generalia, specialia or adhibenda). The content of the memos has been broken down further, i.e. further information has been provided which is covered by the title of the file but not addressed in detail, or the formal page of the content of the file has been added for explanatory purposes. Documentation content that differs from this is indicated both in terms of content and form (especially print and periodicals, posters, etc.). In view of the very uneven size of individual volumes and their nevertheless promising titles, the size was shown (either in the exact or in an estimated size). The following subject areas were selected for the content and thematic classification 1) Political Affairs 2) Administrative Law, Foreigners' Affairs 3) Occupation Affairs 4) Military Affairs, Warfare 5) War and Forced Economy (Transition Economy) The subdivision into the individual points takes into account both the factual context and the formation of the files, i.e.h. where sufficiently large amounts of files were created into a complex under a (contemporary) subject, these series were also merged (e.g., Social Democracy and Anarchism Communism and related organizations National Socialism and related organizations). These definitions are of a purely practical nature and are intended to avoid classification according to ideological principles. In addition, either the alphabet or the chronology are strictly regarded as further order factors in individual classification groups. For the history of authorities and registries, the introduction to the finding aid G 21/2 (presidential office) is to be used. The files shall be quoted: BR 0007, BR 1041, BR 2049 current no.

It is one of the provincial offices for the supervision of public order, which were established at the instigation of the State Commissioner for Public Order, Robert Weismann, in August 1919 (with the chief presidents). 15 November 1920 the formation of a special registration office for the administrative district Düsseldorf was ordered, to whose leader on 30 Nov. 1920 the district court councillor Jürgens was appointed.

Discriminatory title formulations due to time constraints were left, but the title formation was corrected by additions or explanations in the Include note. Especially out of the anti-occupation defence files have been formulated under a title which assumes a much more far-reaching fact than actually going facts. the same title formation was maintained with general and special files. The content was further broken down in the content notes, i.e. further information was given that was covered by the file title but not addressed in detail, or the formal page of the file content was added in an explanatory manner. In view of the very uneven scope of individual volumes and their nevertheless promising titles, the scope was indicated (either in the exact or in an estimated indication).The following subject areas were selected for the content and thematic classification 1) Political Affairs 2) Administrative Law, Foreign Nationals Affairs 3) Occupation Affairs 4) Military Affairs, Warfare 5) War and Forced Economy (Transition Economy)The subdivision into the individual points takes into account both the factual context and the formation of the files, i.e.h. where sufficiently large amounts of files were created into a complex under a (contemporary) subject, these series were also merged (e.g., Social Democracy and Anarchism Communism and related organizations National Socialism and related organizations). These definitions are of a purely practical nature and are intended to avoid classification according to ideological principles. In addition, either the alphabet or the chronology are strictly considered as further order factors in individual classification groups. For the history of authorities and registries, the introduction to the finding aid book G 21/2 (presidential office) is to be used: BR 0007, BR 1041, BR 2049 current no.
