The tasks and organisation of the district directorates were subject to frequent changes. In 1870 the districts were transformed into a municipal association with corporate rights. These so-called district municipal administrations thus joined the district directorates. The administration of the state and municipal district affairs was the responsibility of the state-appointed District Directorate, which thus headed both the District Directorate and the District Municipal Administration in personal union. In 1878, offices were inserted between the districts and the municipalities as a further administrative level. In 1932 the district directorates were abolished and replaced by the district offices. These were subordinated to the State Ministry (previously the District Directorates were subordinated to the Government). Department of the Interior). Among the special authorities integrated into the system were the district doctors and veterinarians, the district school supervisors, the building authorities, the surveying offices and the district treasuries. After the end of the 2nd World War, the circles initially remained in their traditional form. The changes in the district administrations in the spring of 1945 were largely limited to a new staffing. Until 1947 the district administration bodies were under the control of the district administrations, after their dissolution directly under the provincial government. Inventory information: The major part of the holdings was transferred to the former Landesarchiv Oranienbaum (now Landeshauptarchiv Sachsen-Anhalt, Department Dessau) in December 1959 by the council of the district of Bernburg/Kreisarchiv. Cadastral and surveying documents were archived by the cadastral office in Köthen in 2001. There were further increases due to several takeovers of individual file units and provenance adjustments within various holdings. For pragmatic reasons, the holdings "Kreisdirektion Bernburg I", "Kreisdirektion Bernburg II" and "Kreiskommunalverwaltung Bernburg" were merged to form one holding with the name "Kreisbehörden Bernburg". The background to this solution was that the files of the District Directorate and the District Municipal Administration were in any case difficult to separate, since the District Administrator was at the head of both authorities and both files were administered by the same registry. The traditions of the district court Bernburg, the district court Bernburg, the building administration Bernburg, the waterway office Bernburg, the national health office for city and district Bernburg and the offices in the district Bernburg form on the other hand own stocks. The successor institution of the Bernburg district authorities - the Bernburg district administration (from 1945) - also forms a separate inventory.
Find aids: Find book around 1900 (online searchable), partly unexcavated inventory information: After the Anhalt division of 1603/06, the newly formed principalities of Bernburg, Dessau, Köthen and Zerbst developed their own archives in their respective residences. In Bernburg, a "main archive" was set up in the palace, which contained the files still needed from the Anhalt General Archives, correspondence and private documents from the Anhalt-Bernburg line as well as from the court and state authorities of the Bernburg region. After the extinction of the Zerbst, Köthen and Bernburg lines in 1863, the country was unified into a duchy. In the years 1872 to 1875, the archives of the Anhalt princes and duchies were merged in Zerbst Palace to form the "Anhalt House and State Archives", which were preserved in their entirety as separate holdings - the so-called "Departments" of Dessau, Köthen and Bernburg - but which were subdivided into a uniform subject scheme irrespective of their provenance. This order could not be implemented for the Anhalt-Zerbster stocks. The "Departments" included, among other things, the files of the highest and upper state authorities, the offices/justice offices and city courts as well as special authorities from about 1606 until the administrative cut after the revolution of 1848 in Anhalt, partly also beyond that. For some of these authorities, provenance inventories have also been handed down. During the Second World War, for security reasons, numerous holdings of the Anhaltisches Staatsarchiv Zerbst, including the archives of the Bernburg Department, were relocated to other locations. A not inconsiderable number of these files have been lost or are considered lost since the end of the war. This applies in particular to the present stock, since the classification groups C 3 to C 8 belong entirely to these war losses. Additional information: A large part of the stock was filmed as part of the GDR backup filming (so-called Fercher films). Included cards: 20
Note: The holdings contain archival material that is subject to personal protection periods in accordance with § 10 Para. 3 Sentence 2 ArchG LSA and until their expiration is only accessible by shortening the protection period in accordance with § 10 Para. 4 Sentence 2 ArchG LSA or by accessing information in accordance with § 10 Para. 4a ArchG LSA. Find aids: Findbuch 2016 (online searchable) Registraturbilddner: As successor to the Neue Aktienzuckerraffinerie Halle, which had existed since 1859 and went bankrupt in 1880, Zuckerraffinerie AG Halle was founded in 1881 with headquarters in Raffineriestraße there. The main purpose of the company was the processing of raw sugar into consumable sugar. Bread, cube, utility, granulated and icing sugar as well as molasses were produced. In 1885, the AG took over the Hallesche Zuckersiederei Compagnie auf Aktien, which had existed since 1835 (Am Hospitalplatz, Halle-Glaucha), the operation of which was abandoned in 1906. In 1922 the refinery joined the Vereinigung Mitteldeutscher Rohzuckerfabriken Halle (VEMIRO), whose representatives (raw sugar factories) held the majority of the shares in the company. As a result, raw sugar was processed only on the basis of factory wage contracts. Sugar sales were organized by Zuckervertriebsgesellschaft AG Halle. In the 1940s, prisoners of war, forced labourers and foreign workers were also used to ensure refinery production. In World War II, the sugar refinery AG was heavily destroyed, expropriated in 1946 and placed under the control of the industrial works of Saxony-Anhalt. As of 1 July 1948, the company was transferred into public ownership as VVB Zuckerindustrie - VEB Zuckerraffinerie Halle. In 1951 it became the VEB "Vorwärts" Zuckerraffinerie Halle. Inventory information: From the administrative archive of the VEB Zuckerkombinat Halle, about 6 linear metres of documents from the Zuckerraffinerie AG Halle were handed over to the Staatsarchiv Magdeburg in 1981, where the files were redrawn on index cards in 1984. The collection was transferred to the newly founded Landesarchiv Merseburg (later Landesarchiv Sachsen-Anhalt, Merseburg Department) in 1994. In 2013, the search index was retroconverted in the scopeArchiv distorting program. In 2016 the complete revision of the written material was carried out.

Find aids: Findbuch (online searchable) Registraturbilder: At the end of the 19th century, the development of a large chemical industry in Bitterfeld began. In 1893, Elektrochemische Werke GmbH, Berlin, built a chemical factory with an electrical plant for the production of caustic soda and chlorinated lime. In the same year, Chemische Fabrik Elektron AG, Frankfurt/a., decided to M., a subsidiary of Chemische Fabrik Griesheim, to establish a branch in Bitterfeld. In 1894, the Berlin-based Actiengesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation also opted for the Bitterfeld site and built a factory for dyestuffs. The choice of location was favoured above all by the presence of lignite deposits, water, clay and clay deposits as well as potash salt deposits around Halle. Equally important for transport was the connection to the railway lines. Walther Rathenau was the first managing director of Elektrochemische Werke GmbH in Bitterfeld. Carl Pistor became head of the Bitterfeld plants of Chemische Fabrik Elektron. Chemische Fabrik Griesheim and Chemische Fabrik Elektron AG merged in 1898. The plants were named Plant I (in the south) for the former plant of Chemische Fabrik Elektron and Plant II (in the north) for the leased facilities of the Elektrochemische Werke. The most important technology at the Bitterfeld site was chloralkali electrolysis. Until 1945, the most important production lines included chloralkali electrolysis products, aluminium and magnesium production. From 1925, Bitterfeld belonged to the IG Farben group and became the headquarters of the IG Farben Betriebsgemeinschaft Mitteldeutschland. With order no. 124 of the SMAD of 30 Oct. 1945, the IG plant was placed under the control of the Soviet administration. In 1946, the Bitterfelder Werke Süd and Nord were integrated into SAG Mineral-Dünggemittel "Kaustik" and thus became the property of the USSR until 1952. After that the name of the plant was VEB Elektrochemisches Kombinat Bitterfeld. Inventory information: The holdings were transferred to the Magdeburg State Archives by the VEB Chemiekombinat Bitterfeld in 1986. The works archive of the chemical combine carried out the indexing mainly by non-archival assistants, who are thus afflicted with deficiencies. In 1994 the collection was transferred to the newly founded Merseburg State Archive for reasons of competence. In 2011, a retroconversion of the finding aid book took place, which resulted in a formal revision of the data, but also in the modification or creation of some file titles. A complete revision/redevelopment of the inventory was postponed in the interest of rapid accessibility. The collection contains a small number of older and more recent documents that are not directly related to the registry formatter. Furthermore, an extensive register of forced labourers has been preserved in the inventory. Additional information: Plumpe, Gottfried: IG Farbenindustrie AG.

Find aids: Find book from 1962 (online searchable) Registraturbilddner: Dröschkau belongs to the city of Belgern, Lkr. Nordsachsen, Freistaat Sachsen. Dröschkau was mentioned in 1130 as Burgward im Gau Belgern and belonged in the late Middle Ages to the Stiftsamt Wurzen of the Hochstifts Meißen. The Wettin claim to sovereignty over the Hochstift, manifested as early as 1485, was recognised by Bishop Johann IX of Meissen in 1581. Nevertheless, the Stiftsamt Wurzen, as a neighbouring state of Saxony, retained its own monastery government until 1818. In 1815 Dröschkau with parts of the monastery office came to Prussia and belonged there 1816-1945 to the province Saxony. 1489 in Dröschkau a outwork of the nunnery Mühlberg is documented. In 1582 Stellan von Holtzendorf was pardoned by Elector August. In 1669 the estate was transferred to the von Heynitz family as a result of a marriage. The manor, designated in 1815 as written manor, held the patrimonial jurisdiction over the place at the latest in the 18th century and was subject to the office of Torgau. The Pietzsch Vorwerk and the Schäferei Neusorge belonged to the property complex. The von Heynitz family sat on Dröschkau until the expropriation in the course of the land reform in 1945. Inventory information: The holdings were transferred to the Saxony-Anhalt State Main Archive on 27.06.1949 via the Halle/S. State Library. A repertory was not available, a continuous archive order does not seem to have existed, so that the archival records, which were mostly unbound, had to be rearranged and listed anew. If one compares the information provided by O. Steinecke (Forschungen zur Brandenburgischen und Preußischen Geschichte, vol. 15, 1902, p. 421) on the holdings of the Heynitz family archive in Dröschkau with the archive records that have been transferred to the Saxony-Anhalt state archives, it is regrettable to note that significant losses have occurred. The 41 diaries of Friedrich Anton von Heynitz from the years 1747 to 1783 and 1792 to 1802, mentioned by Steinecke, are missing, among others. The collection was arranged and recorded in 1962 and provided with a registry and inventory history. Additional information: Literature: aristocratic archives in the Saxony-Anhalt state archives.

Find aids: Find book (online searchable), find book introduction (online viewable), registry formers: After the decree of 30 April 1815 on the basis of improved establishment of the provincial authorities, the province of Saxony was formed with the administrative districts of Magdeburg, Merseburg and Erfurt, whose chief president began his activities in Magdeburg on 1 April 1816. As a controlling authority and deputy of the Prussian state authorities, he originally had a political position that was primarily observational and more representative. Like the governments, he was subordinate to the state ministries, but at the same time he was in charge of the governments and other intermediate authorities, and as the royal commissioner for the provincial parliament he was in charge of the representation of the estates. As a result of the administrative reforms from 1872 to 1883, his area of responsibility was extended to the entire internal provincial administration of the province, he was given state supervision via the Provincial Association, and in 1883 he was relieved of the office of President of the Magdeburg District. After the First World War and during National Socialism, the sovereign and police functions of the chief president in particular increased considerably; the authority developed into the middle instance of the Prussian state government (from 1932) and finally of the Reich government (from 1935). The self-administration of the province was effectively abolished as early as 1933 and its tasks and responsibilities were transferred to the Chief President. However, the connection between the Office of the High President and that of the NSDAP district leader, which was practised in the other provinces, did not take place. From 1933, the authority was divided into several departments, in particular: General Department, Provincial Council, Department of Secondary Education (Provincial Collegium), National Cultural Department (General Commission/ National Cultural Office), Waterway Directorate (Elbe River Construction Administration), Medical Court Committee and Inspector of the Ordnungspolizei. In spring 1944, the province of Saxony was dissolved; it was replaced by the provinces of Magdeburg and Halle-Merseburg with the Gauleiter of the NSDAP as chief presidents, and the Reich Governor in Thuringia became responsible for the administrative district of Erfurt. In the spring of 1944 the province was dissolved; it was replaced by the provinces of Magdeburg and Halle-Merseburg with the district leaders of the NSDAP as chief presidents, for the administrative district of Erfurt the Reich Governor in Thuringia became responsible. In August 1945, the Magdeburg upper presidium was transferred to the new provincial government as "Der Präsident der Provinz Sachsen, Abwicklungsstelle Magdeburg" (The President of the Province of Saxony, Magdeburg Settlement Office); the settlement office existed until June 1946. Inventory information: The collection was transferred to the Magdeburg State Archives in several deliveries between the end of the 19th century and 1950. It was divided into various registry layers, which were structured around 1968 to the subsets C 20 I Chief President, General Division to C 20 XiX Chief President, Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Security Police.
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
Content: With the "Verordnung über die Anmeldung des jüdischen Vermögens" (Ordinance on the Registration of Jewish Property) of 26 April 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt 1938 I 414 f.), legal transactions with which Jews made dispositions over certain parts of their property became subject to approval. The main licensing authority in Baden was the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economics. The ¿Ordinance on the Use of Jewish Property¿ of 3 December 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt 1938 I, pp. 1709-1712) tightened this regulation in such a way that the licensing authority could expressly force the lawful owners to sell certain assets. In addition to ownership of commercial enterprises, real estate and securities, such conditions were also imposed on works of art with a value of over 1000 Reichsmark. The present inventory contains files on those individual cases in which the Baden Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs approved or instructed the so-called "aryanisation" of assets (predominantly commercial enterprises and real estate). There are also applications from individual citizens for the acquisition of companies or properties whose "Aryanization" was planned. There is also evidence of files on companies that had been victims of boycott measures against Jewish companies in 1933 as well as lists of controlled assets from the period after 1945.Karlsruhe, in February 2016Lutz Bannert Inventory history: The documents of the present inventory came to the General State Archive (access 1967-19) as a delivery from the Karlsruhe Regional Council and initially formed the inventory 505 "Aryanization files". Because these files were mainly created at the Baden Ministry of Finance and Economics, they were re-signed at the end of the 1990s to 237 entries 1967-19. Files with a term beginning after 1945 were created at successor authorities of the Ministry of Finance, i.e. at the President of the State District of Baden, Economics Department, or at the Economics Department of the North Baden Regional Council. They contain negative responses to requests from restitution authorities, courts and Jewish successor organizations for "Aryanization" files. Due to the connection in content with the files of the Ministry of Finance, they were left in their present form. Access to the files was provided by a file that was converted at the end of 2015 and then processed into an online finding aid. Karlsruhe, February 2016Dr. Martin Stingl
Preliminary remark: The inventory FL 300/10 IV district court Esslingen: The Commercial, Cooperative and Associations Register was reformed as part of a systematic spin-off of register documents from the Local Court holdings, which was started in 2008, in order to create pure register holdings. It contains documents on the registration jurisdiction of the district court Esslingen, which so far in inventory FL 300/10 IV were registered only in tax lists and from the additions 1989, 1999/076, 2002/002, 2003/059, 2005/058, 2006/045 and 2006/070 originate. The volumes on the Trade and Cooperative Register as well as lists of cooperatives were sent to the State Archives with access 2013/025, the volumes on the Muster- und Zeichenregister, the Vereinsregister as well as evaluated Vereinsregister files with access 2014/060. For the use of trade and cooperative register files of the district court district of Esslingen, please refer to fonds F 264 II. In this inventory, the older register tradition is recorded under the abbreviation "HRG", i.e. both the company firms and the individual firms since the beginning of the commercial register in 1866. Also the companies with the first numbers of the series HRA and HRB after 1938 are in stock F 264 II. Since the F 264 II finding aid register was made available in an online version as part of the retroconversion, the time-consuming spin-off of this older register version was dispensed with. Since January 1, 2007, the Central Register Court in Stuttgart has been responsible for the commercial and cooperative register; this has also been accompanied by the conversion to the electronic register. Since 01.01.2014 also the register of associations is centralized there. To the individual register types: The inventory contains files, volumes and other documents (name lists, minutes) to the trade, cooperative, and association register. The commercial register files were named HRA (sole traders and partnerships) and HRB (corporations) according to the distinction customary today. The present volumes are divided into two time layers. From the establishment of the Commercial Register in 1866 until 1938, a distinction was made between sole proprietorships (designation E) and corporate proprietorships (designation G). In 1938, the current designations HRA and HRB were introduced. The volumes of the Commercial Register were rewritten in map form around 1965.note for use:In the case of register documents, there is a 30-year period for the blocking of material files for the main files, while the special files clearly visible as such ("special volumes") are freely accessible.in spring 2013 and summer 2014, the indexing work was carried out by Andrea Jaraszewski under the direction of the undersigned.
