Demolition of the organisation of justice in the "Third Reich" until 1935: By a decree of the Ministry of Justice of 20 April 1933 on the competence of the ministries, a new Ministry of Culture, Education and Justice was formed from the previously independent Ministries of Culture and Education and the Ministry of Justice. The Justice Department resided in the old premises of the Ministry at Herrenstraße 1 in Karlsruhe. Reichskommissar Otto Wacker became head of the new ministry. With the "Law on the Reconstruction of the Reich" of 30 January 1934, the sovereign rights of the Länder were transferred to the Reich. Thus also the entire administration of justice became a matter for the Reich. Initially, however, the administration of justice continued to be administered by the Länder on behalf of the Reich (1st Ordinance of the Reich Minister of the Interior on the Reconstruction of the Reich of 2 February 1934). The Reich Law of 5 December 1934 created a department Württemberg-Baden with a branch in Karlsruhe at the Reich Ministry of Justice, which from 1 January to 31 March 1935 temporarily continued the business of the Baden Ministry of Justice. On April 1, 1935, the administration of justice was finally taken over by the Reich in all German states. Any remaining business of the former Baden Ministry of Justice that was not affected by the release was transferred to the President of the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court and the General Prosecutor's Office. A separate administrative department was set up at the Higher Regional Court for this purpose. With the German occupation of Alsace in 1940, the jurisdiction of the Prosecutor General also partly extended to Alsace. Inventory history: In 1987, the present inventory reached the General State Archives in a disordered manner and without a list of consignments. The registry office of the Attorney General was located in the old premises of the former Baden Ministry of Justice at Herrenstraße 1 in Karlsruhe. As can be seen from handwritten notes on two file books (order numbers 281 and 1563), a considerable part of the files stored in the registry was probably burnt by the effects of war on 27 September 1944. After the annexation of Alsace in 1940, the registry was divided into two partial registries with their own business marks (Z4 for Baden and Z5 for Alsace). The files were arranged according to the general file plan of the judiciary and were left in this order at the time of recording. Some of the files were continued beyond the end of the war in 1945, and the order and registration work was carried out by archive inspector Bernd Breitkopf from March 1989 to June 1990. Mrs. L. Hessler took care of the title recordings and corrections. References to related holdings in the General State Archives: Individual further files of the Attorney General from the time of the "Third Reich" can be found in holdings 309, 309-2 and 309 access 1996-66. Together with the files of the present holdings, documents of the administration department of the Higher Regional Court Karlsruhe were also handed over to the General State Archives (240 access 1987-53). The files of the presidential department of the Higher Regional Court were completely destroyed by the effects of war in 1944.
