History of the Inventory Designer: The All-German Association was founded on 9 April 1891 under the name "Allgemeiner Deutscher Verband" with its headquarters in Mainz as a reaction against the German-English Zanzibar Treaty. The main tasks were to revive German national consciousness, to support German nationality abroad and to promote German interests in Europe and overseas, especially German colonial policy. In 1894 the name was changed to Alldeutscher Verband. In 1918 the seat was moved to Berlin. The association's programme was expansionist and nationalistic. Especially in the Habsburgs' Austro-Hungarian Empire, anti-Semitism and anti-Slavism were already pronounced before the First World War. With his ideological aim he acted as an intellectual precursor of Hitler's fascism. In March 1939 he was dissolved by Reinhard Heydrich on the grounds that his programme had now been fulfilled. Processing note: Findbuch (1960/70) Inventory description: Inventory history In 1942, the last chairman of the association, Dr. Heinrich Class, handed over the remains of the association archive to the Reichsarchiv. In 1943 further files of Prof. Calmbach (Stuttgart) were added to the Reichsarchiv. In 1950, the German Central Archive in Potsdam (later Zentrales Staatsarchiv Potsdam) took over the AV documents, which had been stored out together with other holdings of the Reichsarchiv during the Second World War. Due to a lack of old finding aids, there is no information about possible war-related losses. Archive evaluation and processing As a result of the first simple indexing of the documents in the German Central Archive in Potsdam, a finding index was created in 1960 which described 720 file units with a circumference of 9.2 linear metres. In 1970 the collection was reworked, partly refoliated, renumbered and redefined in terms of content. As a result, a preliminary finding aid book was created, which was technically processed in the period from 2003 to 2005. The search book can now be searched online on the website of the Federal Archives.
