Description:Hansen, Joseph, 26.04.1862-29.06.1943, Director of the Historical Archive of the City of Cologne (1891-1927), Chairman of the Gesellschaft für rheinische Geschichtskunde (1893-1927), Hansen's estate at the time was listed except for 1-2 cartons containing pieces from other collections. After the conclusion of the Hansen-Boberach source edition, Heinz Boberach returned to the archive copies of files and letters for the time planned by Hansen in 1850ff in the amount of approx. 3-4 slipcases. These materials were also deposited at the end of the inventory. They were not recorded. preliminary remarkAn exact date for the takeover of the estate of Joseph Hansen cannot be determined. It must be assumed that the estate was already in the archives at his death during the air raid of 29 June 1943 in his Sachsenring apartment. Because the apartment was completely destroyed by a phosphorus bomb. It can be assumed for certain that the estate at that time was in his office in the archive of Gereonskloster 2. After his retirement in 1927, Hansen had "Quellen zur Geschichte der Rheinlande im Zeitalter der französischen Revolution 1780- 1801" (Sources on the History of the Rhineland in the Age of the French Revolution 1780-1801) for the development of his editions. Bd. 1-4, 1931-1938 and "Rheinische Briefe und Akten zur Geschichte der politischen Bewegung 1830-1850", Bd. 2, 1942 still worked permanently in the archives, since this time the estate lay in rough order in cartons. Erich Kuphal had numbered the folders lying in the boxes, listed them according to their subject and glued the lists onto the boxes. He had also labeled the folders, as far as not already designated by Hansen, and a content subject, but otherwise left them in their original context. However, this was so disturbed, partly by wartime relocation and later rearrangements, that a more detailed order and distortion was appropriate. The reorganisation became unavoidable after the interest of research in Hansen's person and work grew steadily from the 1980s onwards, with the focus of the estate on a) Hansen's cooperation with historical societies and commissions, b) notes, material collections and manuscript drafts on his projects, source editions and representative works, c) material collections on topics of the 19th century and his present, to which Hansen's historical interest was directed. Private and family documents are also not available and must have perished due to the house fire. Furthermore, the estate contains approx. three cartons with original sources (documents, letters, files), some of which are related to Hansen's research projects. According to Hansen's method of giving the sources with his own comments and typesetting instructions directly to the printers, this is not surprising. However, another part of the sources cannot be associated with Hansen's research. They will have been randomly assigned to the stock during stock removals and relocations and, like the other original sources, must be reassigned to the stocks of origin. The situation is different with the copies of sources suggested by Hansen (Geheimes Preußisches Staatsarchiv, Staatsarchiv Darmstadt, Nationalarchiv Paris). They remain in this estate as a collection of material or are kept as appendices to the collection, such as, for example, the addresses of reunions:- Erich Pelzer: Josph Hansen (1982-1943) and his contribution to Rhenish Revolution Research, in: Tel Aviver Jahrbuch für deutsche Geschichte XVIII (1989), S. 271-291;- Everhard Kleinertz: Joseph Hansen (1982-1943), in: Joseph Hansen, Prussia and Rhineland from 1815 to 1915. One hundred years of political life on the Rhine, with contributions by ... published by Georg Mölich, Cologne 1990, pp. 273-325;- Everhard Kleinertz: Joseph Hansen, in: Rheinische Lebensbilder vol. 13, published by Franz-Josef Heyen, Cologne 1993, pp. 249-276; from the latter publication a copy of the - still not complete - list of publications by Joseph Hansen is attached.Cologne, 27 December 1995Contains manuscripts and drafts of historical works;Correspondence on the General German Biography, Cologne Historical Topics, Society for Rhenish History, Historical Commission in Munich, Historical Reich Commission in Berlin and Historical Institute in Rome.
