History of the Inventor: By cabinet order of 14.3.1899 the Admiral Staff Department of the High Command of the Navy was made independent and directly subordinated to the Emperor as the Admiral Staff of the Navy. In terms of peace, the actual tasks of the admiral's staff included the operative planning of warfare at sea, the collection and processing of news about foreign navies as well as the economy and military policy of foreign states. Furthermore, the Admiral Staff worked on all tactical matters of the fleet, the training and further education of Admiral Staff officers as well as the travel plans for all naval forces abroad. During the war, military-political affairs and censorship tasks were added. To steer the entire naval warfare, the naval warfare command was set up on 28.8.1918 as a mobile part of the Admiral Staff. From 15.11.1918 the authority was subordinated to the Reichsmarineamt and was dissolved on 15.7.1919.

Inventory description: The main tasks of the security forces were mine defence, mine laying, submarine hunting, reconnaissance and outpost service as well as escort service. Until the beginning of the 2nd World War, all the units for the security, escort, outpost, mine search and clearance service were assigned to the leader of the mine search boats. When war broke out, the commanders of the Baltic and North Sea security forces were deployed. Among them were placed the leaders of the minesweepers and the leaders of the east and west outpost boats. From January to August 1940 there were leaders of the special units East and West for the submarine hunting flotillas and the mine ships. The mining ships were then grouped together under the leader of the mining ships, while the submarine hunting flotillas were grouped under the leader of the outpost boats. From February 1941, the Commander of the Western Security Forces was responsible for units in the occupied western territories. Security divisions were established in the Channel, in various parts of the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas, and in the Black Sea. From 15.1.1945, all the security forces as well as the Donau Mine Clearance Service inspector, who had been deployed for the Danube above Braila on 16.4.1941, were under the command of the Commander of the Security Forces.

ReichsmarineamtHistory of the Inventory Designer: Skl = Operations Department of the Naval Command Office, Chief of the Authority was Chief of the Staff of the Naval War Command (Skl) from April 1, 1937. In this capacity, in 1938, the former naval intelligence department of the Naval Command Office was subordinated to him. In 1939 the Chief of Staff of the Skl handed over the leadership of the Naval Command Office. In 1939, as a result of the dissolution of the General Naval Office, the Nautical and Military Technical Division joined the Skl. From May 1, 1944, the Chief of the Staff of the Skl was known as the Chief of the Skl. Inventory Description: On April 1, 1937, the Chief of the Naval Command Office was given the additional service designation "Chief of the Staff of the Naval War Command (Skl)". Shortly before the outbreak of war in 1939, the Personalunion chief of the Naval Command Office/Head of the Naval Headquarters Staff was abolished. The Naval Command Office received its own Chief of Staff, who was subordinate to the Chief of Staff of the Skl. From 1.5.1944 the chief of the staff of the Skl led the service designation chief of the naval war management. The naval warfare management was the coordinating and decision-making body for all areas of naval warfare. She was in charge of operational and strategic warfare. It dealt with armaments and personnel matters, tactical problems, questions of ship readiness, equipment and supplies, questions of mine, air and land warfare as well as navigational and meteorological problems. The Skl was divided into the following sections: Chief of the Skl Staff (issued the operational guidelines and orders for the conduct of naval warfare and the deployment of naval forces); Chief of Naval Warfare; Operations Department (dealt with all areas related to the conduct of naval warfare and regulated the deployment of the Navy within the framework of the overall operations and ensured the operational cooperation of the Navy with the army and air force); U-boat department (was responsible for determining the military prerequisites and requirements for submarine construction, the establishment and training of submarine formations and crews, for the creation and design of submarine bases and escort ships as well as the submarine and anti-submarine defence); U-boat command and control department; naval intelligence department / naval intelligence department (was responsible for the entire naval intelligence service, d.h. for the securing of the intelligence connections, for the organisation and deployment of the intelligence service, for radio reconnaissance and radio measurement, as well as for the development, equipment and training of intelligence devices); intelligence evaluation department (collection and evaluation of all intelligence important for naval warfare and the resulting creation of the basis for enemy assessments by the operation group); locating service department (evaluation of operational experience, development, introduction and equipment of locating devices and systems); nautical department (head of the entire hydrographic and meteorological service). Characterisation of the contents: The main part of the tradition from the time after 1933 is the war diary of the Skl with its annexes, which, with a few exceptions, is completely preserved. The war diary records all essential events of the war events, also the land and air war. It also contains political and situation overviews and material on international law, propaganda and merchant shipping. Particularly noteworthy are the documents of the Operations Department and again those of Unit A (Operations of the Naval War, e.g. Case "Weser Exercise", case "Barbarossa", planning "Sea Lion", occupation of Denmark and Norway, attack on the Soviet Union, invasion 1944), of Unit I (International and Naval Law of War), of Unit L (Air Force Issues), of Unit M (work on the Mediterranean theatre of war, Balkans and the Black Sea), N (work on the theatre of war of the Group North, the Norwegian area and the operations spanning the Baltic Sea), and the W (work on the Western area, the Atlantic area and the French coastal forefield). The files of the Operations Department (e.g. case "Weser Exercise", occupation of Denmark) are relatively extensive. The material of the Merchant Shipping and Economic War group as well as of the General Department III (organisational and armament issues) are just as important as the files of the various departments of the Naval Intelligence Service. In addition there is also material about the Japanese Navy, the Spanish Civil War as well as about the cooperation with the Soviet Union, Italy and Spain.

History of the Inventor: The Reichsmarineamt (Reichsmarineamt) was created as the successor authority to the Imperial Admiralty with effect from April 1, 1889, in the form of a cabinet order (in addition to the Navy Cabinet and the Navy High Command). As the supreme Reich authority, the Reichsmarineamt was responsible for the organisation, administration, technology, armament and fortification of the navy. At the same time, it exercised Reich competence vis-à-vis the merchant navy and in the fields of maritime transport, nautical science and fisheries protection. The RMA was in charge of the Imperial Shipyards, the Shipbuilding Inspection Commission, the Naval Depot Inspectorate, Coastal District Offices, Station Headquarters, Naval Military Sacrets, the Naval Observatory, the Naval Commissioner of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal and the Kiautschou Government. The RMA was divided into the following organizational units: Central Department, General Navy Department, Shipyard Department/Submarine Office, Construction Department, Administrative Department, Weapons Department, Nautical Department, Kiautschou Protectorate Central Department, Medical Department, Justice Department, News Office. On 15 July 1919 the powers of the Reichsmarineamt were transferred to the Admiralty by decree of the Reich President. Characterisation of content: With the exception of the Arms Department, the Medical Department, the Legal Department and the Central Bureau of the Navy, all other organisational units in this inventory have files. Of particular importance from the Central Department are the State Secretary's files on the development of the Navy and the preparatory work for the Fleet Acts. An important part of the former hand files is also in the estate of State Secretary Tirpitz. The files handed down from the central department contain documents on protocol questions, launching, awarding of orders and central organisational matters as well as Reichstag material and a complete series of the "Allerhöchsten Kabinettsordres" for the navy from 1889 to 1918. The activities of the General Maritime Department on matters of organisation and service operation of ships and naval parts, personnel and replacement matters, questions of training in weapons service, uniforms, organisation of education, administration of justice, supply matters, military questions of ship construction and maritime law are well documented. The files of the Construction Department provide a source of considerable importance for the history of the navy and technology. This includes construction files for all heavy and medium-sized combat ships completed by 1914, as well as approx. 10,000 construction plans and other technical drawings for ships and boats. In addition, scientific research results on strength issues, material development, drag tests and general building regulations have also been handed down. The files of the budget department fully document the development of the naval budget, in particular the financing of the fleet building programmes. Here you will also find budget and administrative files on the establishment of the German protectorate Kiautschou as well as on pension and retirement matters of officers, teams and civil servants. Also well preserved are the files of the administrative department, which mainly document catering, clothing and accommodation matters of the navy. Of particular note are the files on numerous foundations for which the Reichsmarineamt was in charge. In connection with the responsibility for food and clothing, extensive series of files on the care of the German population during the war were produced. The traditional files of the news agency contain documents on the economic situation in Germany, the development of shipping, maritime traffic and fleet interests, censorship measures, the collection and distribution of war news and foreign propaganda. An extensive collection of newspaper clippings is also included. Also worth mentioning are the correspondence series on association matters, especially the German Fleet Association. The Nautical Department has files on sea mark and coastal signal matters, cutlery excerpts, travel reports and expeditions. From the shipyard department responsible for the equipment and maintenance of ships, shipyards and vehicles, only a small remainder of files on submarine matters, occasionally also torpedo matters, has been preserved. The departments and departments of the shipyard department responsible for the processing of the submarine system were made independent in 1917 to the submarine office. The documents produced during the short period of its existence reflect the measures taken to promote submarine construction, in particular the material provision during the final phase of the First World War. Worth mentioning here is still material about the planned technical evaluation of war diaries of the submarines.

January 1917 Honorary citizen of the city of Frankfurt/Oder Description of the holdings: The estate of the officer and politician Alfred von Tirpitz contains rich sources on seven decades of German history: from the entry of the sixteen-year-old into the Royal Prussian Navy in 1865 to his service in the Imperial Navy as founder of fleet building and as long-standing State Secretary of the Reichsmarinemat, from his political service in the World War II as Chairman of the German Fatherland Party to his work for the German National People's Party. Since Tirpitz's research concentrated for a long time on fleet construction and fleet policy in Wilhelmine Germany, the part of the estate on this topic that had been developed until 1991 was intensively evaluated. The hand files and correspondence from the period of service as State Secretary of the R e i c h s m a r i n e a m t , which form a focal point of the collection, were particularly used for this purpose. The value of these documents is only marginally diminished by the publication of Tirpitzen's "Political Documents", since the texts published here are sometimes incomplete. Even more than the hand files, some of which had been compiled from copies and multiple copies of the official records, the letters from those years supplement the tradition of the R e i c h s m a r i n e a m t . Contrary to the papers of the politician Tirpitz, the openly and impartially written letters of the young Tirpitz to his parents from the decade around the foundation of the Reich - from 1865 to 1878 -, filling several volumes, convey a vivid picture of everyday life in the Prussian, then the North German, and finally the Imperial Navy. They also give an impression of the young Tirpitz's view of history and of the national ideas of the time when the Reich was founded. In addition, the estate documents the career of an officer in the Imperial Navy, but also the private ties within the officer corps. In the history of naval affairs, the sources on the development of the torpedo system deserve special mention; in foreign policy, the letters and documents on the representation of German interests in East Asia deserve special mention, as do the sources on the development of German-English relations against the background of German fleet building. After all, the collection is also rich in cultural history, as it reflects something of the lifestyle of a state secretary in Wilhelmine Germany. Tirpitz's activities after his resignation as State Secretary were focused both on the past and on the current political problems. Both have been reflected in the estate. The justification of fleet policy is documented, among other things, in the fragmentarily preserved drafts of the "Memories" and "Political Documents" as well as in the correspondence on these publications. The rich materials on the submarine war refer both to the policy of State Secretary Tirpitz and to his evaluation of the submarine war after his resignation; they form a bracket between the work in the civil service and the work afterwards. A not inconsiderable part of the collection comes from the party political commitment after 1916, first for the German Vaterlandspartei, of which he was first chairman, then for the Deutschnationale Volkspartei, whose Reichstag fraction he belonged to from 1924 until his age-related withdrawal from politics in 1928. The extensive correspondence from the work of the party politician Tirpitz, his speeches, essays and notes on his work as a member of the Reichstag, equally informative sources on the foreign and domestic policy of the Weimar Republic, only attracted the interest of research in recent years. Reference is made to Hagenlücke's monograph on the German Fatherland Party published in 1997 and Scheck's work on Tirpitz as a politician of the right wing 1914-1930 published in 1993 (see bibliography). For research into the activities of the Imperial Navy, the tradition from the period of service, including the related materials from the last phase of life, forms a comprehensive and far from exhausted fund. The rich private correspondence opens the way to further sources: since part of the correspondence is a recipient tradition and the drafts or copies of Tirpitz letters are only partially available and rather from his last decade of life, the determination of his letters in the estates of the correspondence partners is still a worthwhile object of research.

History of the Inventory Designer: Created on 15.2.1916 at the Admiralstab as a collection point for files from the naval area. The Marine Archives emerged from the collection point. The tasks of the War Science Department included the preparation of a naval warfare book on the First World War, the collection of official documents, evaluation of the naval war 1942-44, and the history of the Reich and war machine. The war science department of the Navy was ultimately under the command of the chief of naval warfare. Description of the holdings: On 15 February 1916, the War Science Department was created at the Admiralstab and assigned, among other things, the task of collecting files from the naval area, from which the naval archive emerged. Its most important tasks consisted in the work on the naval warfare work on the First World War, the official records collection 1928-1937, the evaluation of important events of the naval war 1942-1944 and the series "Taktik" 1939-1941 comprising eight issues. On 22 January 1936 the naval archives received the name Kriegswissenschaftliche Abteilung der Marine (at the same time research institute). It was last subordinated to the Chief of Naval Warfare and was divided into three groups for general business operations and the Naval Archives, for the descriptive processing of war events and research work on the official naval warfare work from 1939, finally for the conclusion of the naval warfare work 1914-1918 and the presentation of the history of the Reich Navy and Navy up to the beginning of the Second World War. Announcements and current orders Nov. 1918 - March 1945, preliminary work and drafts "The War at Sea 1914-1918", reports on Revolution 1918, hand and business files of the employees of the department responsible for the naval war from 1939. Characterisation of the contents: The collection mainly comprises announcements and current orders from November 1918 to March 1945, as well as preliminary work and drafts for the naval warfare work "Der Krieg zur See 1914-1918", including in particular materials for the volumes "Der Krieg in der Nordsee" VII, "Der Krieg in der Ostsee" III, "Der Handelskrieg mit U- Booten" III and IV, which did not appear until 1945, and collected reports on the 1918 revolution. Furthermore there are hand and business files of the employees of the department responsible for the naval war from 1939 onwards, including important original documents of the Imperial Navy from the time of the 1st World War.
