The Ministry of the Interior, created by the Decree of 10 October 1849, was the supreme head of the internal administration of the Land, insofar as it did not fall within the remit of other ministries or the State Ministry. The Ministry was in charge of the supervision of all local authorities and was entrusted with the management of the sovereign police force and the supervision of all police authorities and institutions. His tasks also included the handling of economic and general agricultural matters, including the regulation of property, farm and day labour relations, transport, association and press matters, the administration of roads and hydraulic engineering as well as social services. In addition, the Ministry's portfolio included citizenship matters, border and electoral matters, as well as civilian administration matters related to the military. Essentially, the business circle of the Ministry remained unchanged until 1945. It was extended in 1875 to include the civil status system. In 1905, the Ministry of Justice, Department of Education, transferred the affairs of the technical and commercial technical and further education school system from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of the Interior. During the First World War, the Ministry was responsible for controlling the food supply and the war economy, and after the war it was responsible for civilian demobilization. In 1919 the newly founded Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests (see 5.12-4/2) took over the handling of agricultural matters, including rural labour and ownership, and in 1937 also agricultural water matters. There are gaps in the file tradition. Major losses were caused by the fire in the government building in 1865. At the beginning of 1945, files from 1933 to 1945 were deliberately destroyed in the Ministry. Most of the files of the Department of Social Policy from the period after 1918 were also lost. A.

Fait partie de City Archive Mainz (Archivtektonik)

The holdings 60 (Municipal Administration/Mairie of the City of Mainz, 1798-1814) have a complicated and eventful history of order and description. In the following, an attempt will be made to list the individual stages of this inventory in chronological order. Order of the registry in the French period (1798-1814) The archives 60/113 provide information about the administration of records of the Mainz city administration 1798-1814. The first part is a list of all files and official books created or kept since the establishment of the municipal administration, which was compiled on the 25th Prairial VIII. It also contains the civil status registers, which will not be taken into account in the following, as they are listed and described in section 50. The second part was built successively in the following years until 1814. In each year a file list of the yearly created and closed files was made. The division into two is undoubtedly a consequence of the Napoleonic administrative reform of 1800 (transition from municipal administration to Mairie). Year after year, the secretariat and the offices of the municipal administration/Mairie created a file volume on certain subjects, so that a kind of subject series register was created. At the end of the year the volumes were handed over to the "Archives" (= registry). Therefore, when the list was drawn up, only the current files of Year VIII were located in the individual offices. In addition to files, a large number of official registers were kept. They played a far greater role in the French administration than in the German administration, since they served on the one hand as the administration's most important auxiliary and finding aids, but on the other hand also reproduced contents, so that the actual subject files, in which the incoming and (initially also) outgoing letters were stored, probably only rarely had to be accessed. All incoming and outgoing letters have been registered in the official records referred to here. Among them the general register "Régistre Général" is to be mentioned first as letter (entrance) diary. A number was assigned to each incoming letter in the Secretariat. The number was noted on the received letter with the addition "R.G.". In addition, a brief summary, the sender, the date of the letter and the office to which it was assigned were recorded in the General Register. Where a reply to a letter received has been drawn up or a decision taken, its number has also been recorded in the General Register. The numbers of the "normal" letters ("lettres") were replaced by "corr." (=correspondance), those of the resolutions ("arrêtés") are marked "arr. The concepts of "lettres" and "arrêtés" are attached to the respective subject file volumes only until Vendémiaire VII/September 1798 (applies to Lettres) or until the end of Year VII beginning of Year VIII/October 1799 (applies to Arrêtés). In addition, they were recorded in fair copy in two other series of official registers also kept by the Secretariat, the Correspondence and Advisory Register. On this basis, the numbering of "lettres" and "arrêtés" already mentioned was also carried out. The letter received to which an outgoing letter referred can be seen on the one hand in the Registre Général and on the other hand in the letter received itself, on which, in addition to the 'R.G.' number, the 'Arr.-' number also appears. or "Corr." No. was noted. The Mairie continued to keep the General Register and the "répertoire", a kind of subject register, but decided not to keep the resolution and correspondence registers. This made the concepts of "lettres" and "arrêtés" the only evidence of the letters and regulations issued. In order to keep track of them, their drafts could no longer be filed in the subject file volumes together with the letters received in response to which they were initiated, but had to be organised separately. The concepts of the outgoing letters were thus numbered consecutively from September 1798 and October 1799 (see above) and formed two series in which the drafts of the "lettres" and "arrêtés" were filed chronologically and (mostly) summarised monthly. If one follows 60/113, a further change occurred with the establishment of the Mairie: The secretariat/police office and Bien Public office files are kept by the secretariat, while the financial office still seems to have its own registry. The files created and kept at the secretariat are usually stored in beige paper sheets - often printed forms that have been turned over. Until the year XI, the respective subject series file was held together with a glued-on paper strip, which was provided with the file title. They've been numbered since year X. There are about 60 subjects for the secretariat, whereby the number fluctuates, since new subjects were added from case to case or older subjects were omitted, thus there were series splits or series associations, over which 60/113 offers a good overview. The subject files of a year were most likely bundled and stored in these bundles (inscription: year) in the old registry/archive. Probably for this reason, part of the "French Archive" was only grouped together in file aprons before the new indexing. The Commissioner of the Executive Board of the Municipal Administration apparently also had his own registry. Subject files were also created for him. The files shall be numbered after the title of each file, preceded by the abbreviation "No." . Their duration often exceeds one year, often covers years VI to VIII and thus the entire term of office of the Commissioner. Also on the documents of these files one finds numbers of a general register, so that it can be assumed that the commissioner of the executive directorate had its own general register and thus its own document administration (a kind of own secretariat). The holdings also include files from the provenance of the Administrative Commission of the School Fund, which were left in the holdings because of their proximity to the city administration. In the case of these files, there was no longer a recognizable order of files or registries. The files of the negotiations of the municipal council are wrapped in blue cardboard and were apparently kept separately from the other files of the administration. Some files of the collection, especially those concerning accounting, are wrapped in light blue cardboard and have German lettering. Also the formulation of the titles of the acts indicates that they were written in Hessian time (after 1815). There is much to suggest that these were files that were needed by the city administration during the Hessian period. This, of course, required a review of the French files. At the beginning of the 20th century (around 1920?), the librarian Heinrich Heidenheimer presumably attempted to dissolve the old subject files, which had been laid out on a year-by-year basis, and to merge them according to new subject matters. From the documents which were not (or could not be?) assigned to a "large" subject, he tried to create individual files. Not affected by this reorganization were the official books, the Arrêtés and Lettres series, and (probably) 23 bundles, which only remained ordered by year. The result of this attempt at classification is documented in the old register "Französisches Archiv - Bestand 60". The bundles in which the new subjects were grouped were numbered from 1-148 (one number per subject, so several bundles could have the same number if the subject was supposed to be the same). In part, however, a number did not conceal a reference file, but rather a very thin - already mentioned - single case file containing only a few sheets or even only one printed matter. The number of this file was mostly completed with a Roman "II". At the time of the redrawing, the individual case files were often located within the beige file apron in orange, strongly acidic folders (60s?) with filler lettering. Inside the other file aprons, envelopes made of crumbled packing paper with a high acid content, which could date from around 1920, were used to structure the documents. These envelopes were often labelled with only one year and were irrelevant for the context of the file. Only summarily (without signature or numbering) are listed in the directory - as mentioned - Lettres and Arrêtés, official books, military matters, matters concerning the inhabitants, accounting (also printed matter), taxes (also printed matter), the port and schools/lessons. Eight bundles were only labeled with letters and sorted alphabetically. According to the register, these were "requests to the administration, sorted by personal names (e.g. passports)". This series, too, was first created at the beginning of the 20th century by the order works. An example of how it was done: In a bundle with the old signature 138 (138-subjects: medical police/138,1; midwives/138,2; vaccination/138,3; medicine/138,4 and 138,5) there were ONLY old file covers with the following titles and registry signatures: IX/...X/14, XI/14 : Police medicinale XI/12: Police medicinale, vaccine, Maison d'accouchement, pharmacie XII/14: Police médicinale, vaccine, accouchement XIII/14, XIV/15: Police médicinale, pharmacie, vaccine, accouchement, épidémie, épizootie, glacière 1807-1812/13, 1814/13: Police médicinale, pharmacie, vaccine, accouchement, épidémie, épizootie, enfants trouvés, glacière, quinquina The original subject files were thus dissolved according to the new subjects 138,1-138,5, the original file covers were separated. (In other cases, the file covers also remained in part of the closed file.) Where the documents on livestock epidemics, foundlings and glaciers remained is not apparent at first. Unfortunately, it must be noted that the content of the parts of the file which were among the various subjects did not always correspond to those subjects! It is probable that the "annual bundles" still found at the time of the new listing should also be dissolved. The order within these bundles was chaotic. This disorder has either already existed in the French old registry (the disordered documents would then never have been assigned to a subject file...) or has arisen from the attempts of archivists to organize them. Or both "procedures" come together. The main subjects in the unresolved annual bundles were: "Police civile en générale", "Affaires mixtes", "Certificat, renseignements sur des individus, "Pièces à communiquer", "Publication ...". These are therefore precisely those subjects which can hardly be assigned to other "large" subjects and which were probably not of great importance for the administration at the time either, so that no great attention and working time will have been devoted to the sorting of these documents. It is likely that archivists wanted to use these documents to create the alphabetical series "Requests to the administration, sorted by personal names (e.g. passports)". Ordnungs- und Verzeichnungsarbeiten Heiner Stauder (1991-1995) Heiner Stauder began in 1991 with the order and indexing of the official book series. After the completion of this work, the drawing of the militaria was started. Various attempts at order and sorting (registration of all numbers of the Registre Général; dissolution of the Lettres and Arrêtés series and assignment to the corresponding letters received; dissolution of individual subject series, including "service militaire", "police militaire", "affaires militaires"; formation of individual case files for submission) proved to be impracticable. The listing of the "Militaria" was interrupted in order to prefer the listing to the "Medicinalia" due to user requests. The following signatures were assigned: 001-136: Amtsbücher 150-186: Militaria 201-215: Bürgerannahmen (They were arranged alphabetically by Mr. Tautorat around 1991/92 and then entered in a card index of names, which is located in the finding aid cabinet of the user room). 300-349: Documents and series, mainly health and poor affairs concerning 350-508: "arrêtés"; 509-703: "lettres"; the no. 350-703 were recorded by Mr. Jung in autumn 1995. The development of a printed matter collection for the French period according to the model of the Landesherrlichen Verordnungssammlung (LVO) was started by leaving only one copy of printed ordinances or news, as far as they were present several times in the file volume, in the file. The rest have been separated. The documents of the Mainzer Veteranenverein found in the "French Archive" were spun off and assigned to the corresponding estate. Mr. Stauder also began with the separation of individual documents, which were only to be assigned to a file bundle after completion of the recording, and with the dissolution of the old FA60 bundles according to subject matter. The author has also continued his recording of subtitles and alto and registry signatures (see below). After the described experiences and on the basis of the peculiarities of the found stock, the author renounced to form (new) series - however it may have been - or to restore the old registry order - also only in rudimentary form. Instead, a numerus currens distortion was performed on the basis of the found condition. The merging of units that belonged together in terms of content thus took place only after the title listings had been completed - on the basis of the classification and the three - very detailed - indices. The subject file bundles listed in the old directory FA 60 were dissolved, since the file aprons contained a wide variety of subjects, which were often only roughly summarized under one catchword. The bundles were reviewed, units with related contents within the bundles - some of them still in the original file covers of the registry - were left together and newly recorded (the old archive signature is of course always indicated). The still unrecorded militaria had already been pre-ordered by Mr. Stauder and reassembled according to the facts. The signatures 269-273 and 284-285 were made by him, left so by me and listed. Individual documents within the various bundles, which differed completely in content from the otherwise found subjects, were first separated and, after completion of the indexing process, added to the archives to which they fitted in terms of content. The old small files, the individual files mentioned above, were left as they were and re-inserted. The bundles, which were only marked with a year (probably part of the original old registration), were also dissolved according to subject matter. Recognisable units (e.g. through labelled file envelopes) were of course retained. If possible, documents that had not been (pre-)sorted were either newly created according to subject (e.g. Militaria, Year VI) or first separated and, after completion of the indexing, added to suitable archival records. In total, the stock now comprises 60 1308 units of description or serial numbers. The last current number is 1319. The numbers 140-148, 882 and 944 were not assigned. Subtitles and registry signatures Subtitles are located in brackets below the titles of the files I have assigned. They are usually the original French title(s) of the subject file(s) found on an old envelope within the newly recorded archives. It is only indicated if there is such an original envelope in the file and if the title also matches the content of the documents it contains. Due to the old order work before 1991, the original connections were torn apart - as described above - so that the original file covers only remained in part of the original files, were separated or reappeared in completely different contexts. If it was clearly visible that only part of the original subject file was present in or near the original file cover, only the applicable part of the original file title is also indicated as a subtitle. On the original file covers, in most cases the year and the number from the list of subject series registries were indicated in addition to the file title (for example as year "an 14", as number "21", as title "Corps de metier"). As far as such a file cover was available and fitted to the content or partial content of the newly recorded archive, this registry signature was indicated as follows: XIV/21 (XIV for the year 14 of the French Republic, 21 for the number from 60/113). For years VI to IX, the year and the "heading" under which the subject in 60/113 is to be found have been indicated, where recognisable. The files more frequently contained a large number of documents from the Electoral period. If it was evident that these were pre-files to the events of the French period, they were left in the archives. If no connection was discernible, the events were passed on to Dr. Dobras for classification in electoral holdings. Nachprovenienzen The Lettres series does not end with the end of French rule in Mainz and the handover of the town to German troops on 4 May 1814, but continues until the end of 1814. For this reason, all files of the year 1814 under Lord Mayor Freiherr von Jungenfeld were left in this inventory, since the registry was at least partly continued for so long according to the French model. The following volumes with clear provenance or post-provenance Großherzogliche Bürgermeisterei were found in the holdings and were assigned to the holdings 70 (Hessisches Archiv): (order: Altsign. title runtime new signature) - ?

Fait partie de State Archives Hamburg (Archivtektonik)

Administrative history: In order to prevent the misuse of company names and to be able to determine who is entitled to act on behalf of a company, the obligation for merchants to register the legal relationships of their companies with the commercial court in a register accessible to everyone was introduced on 1 January 1836. However, until 1 August 1866, when the relevant provisions of the Introductory Act to the General German Commercial Code entered into force, the obligation existed only for newly established companies and for them only if the company name and the name of the owner were not identical. The possibility of voluntary registration was given. The company protocol initially established for all entries except procurations was later replaced by registers for each legal form. Special registers were added as cooperative registers (from 1869), sign registers (from 1875), design protection registers (from 1876) and stock exchange registers for goods and securities (from 1896). For each register number, a file was kept which contained documents filed in addition to a copy of the register entry. From 1 October 1879 the registers were kept at the regional court, from 1 January 1900 at the district court in Hamburg. The district courts of Bergedorf and Ritzebüttel kept their own registers for their sprinkles. The registers of companies, societies and cooperatives were closed on 31 December 1904, their still valid contents transferred to the commercial registers and a new cooperative register. Preliminary Remark Legal Foundations The "Ordinance of 28.12.1835 (Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.14, p.307-316) on the Notification to the Commercial Courts of the Establishment, Change and Repeal of Commercial Societies, Commercial Firms, Anonymous Companies and Procurants to be Made in Commercial Courts, which became Popular by the Council and Citizen's Conclusion of 15.October 1835" of 28.12.1835 (Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.14, p.307-316) introduced in Hamburg for the first time an obligation for merchants to have the legal relationships of their companies entered in a register at the Commercial Court which is accessible to everyone. It entered into force on 1 January 1836. This regulation had come into being on the initiative of Commerzdeputation, which from 1823 constantly tried to persuade the Council to adopt a regulation which prevented the misuse of company names and created an opportunity to establish who was the actual owner of a company and who was entitled to act on its behalf. Initially, however, not all commercial enterprises were required to be entered in the register. Excluded were all already existing companies, however to the common sense of the owners it was appealed to to be registered voluntarily for the promotion of the thing (Publicandum of 28.12.1835, Hamburgische Verordnung Bd.14, S.317). In addition, registration was waived where the name of the trading company was identical to the name of the sole proprietor. Accordingly, the obligation existed only for 1. acting-Societäten (§ 1 of the regulation) 2. the action of the sole owner of a acting firm, which either did not contain its own full name or was not limited to its own name (§ 3 Abs.2) 3. granting of procurations (§ 4-8) 4. anonymous companies (§ 9-10) 5. agents and representatives of foreign insurance and similar companies (§ 11) 6. Hamb. insurance companies and other public limited companies (§ 12). The aforementioned had to report every establishment, change and cancellation of a company and submit all circulars to the Commercial Court - Company and Procurator's Office, partly also called Company Office. With the "Bekanntmachung betr. die Anmeldung im Firmen-Bureau vom 1.2.1844 (Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.18, S.7)" (Announcement concerning the registration in the firm's office of 1.2.1844, Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.18, p.7), the obligation arising from the 1835 ordinance was once again made public and in some cases specified in more detail. In 1865, the deposition of trademarks, labels and packaging provided for in Art. 24 of the Hanseatic-French Commercial and Shipping Treaty of 4 March 1865 (published on 30 June 1865, Hamburg Ordinances Vol. 33, pp. 233-234) was transferred to the Office for Business and Procuration. The introduction of the General German Commercial Code by law of 22.12.1865 (Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.33, p.533-561) brought a substantial extension of the obligation to register in the registers. The Commercial Code and the Introductory Act came into force in Hamburg on 1 May 1966. According to Article 19 of the Commercial Code, every businessman was now obliged to have his company entered in the Commercial Register. Paragraph 6 of the Hamburg Introductory Act also introduced the obligation to register the circle of traders to whom, under Article 10 of the Commercial Code, the rules for merchants were not to apply, such as traders from small businesses, hoekers, carters, ordinary skippers, etc., if they appointed an authorised signatory or if they wished to enter into an open partnership to operate their trade. In contrast to the Regulation of 1835, the transitional provisions (§§ 1-5) of the Introductory Act stipulated that the new provisions were also binding on all existing undertakings. It was imposed on these companies to register within 3 months, so that from 1.8.1866 all commercial enterprises in the Hamburg area, with the exception of Ritzebüttel, would have to be entered in the registers of the Commercial Court. In addition, Article 13 of the Commercial Code provides for the publication of all entries in the registers. So far, since October 1847 only the applications provided for in §§ 1 and 3 (2) of the Regulation of 1835 had apparently been published on the basis of an order of the Commercial Court. - In detail and on the other extensions and changes in the tasks of the company office under the Commercial Code see: The Commission reports and further negotiations on the introduction of the General German Commercial Code in Hamburg, p.3-5 (Library A 913/9). The special protocol for cooperatives to be established in accordance with the Genossenschaftsgesetz (Cooperatives Act) was also kept at the Commercial Court in accordance with § 1 of the "Ausführungsverordnung zum Norddeutschen Bundesgesetze betreffend die privatrechtliche Stellung der Erwerbs- und Wirtschaftsgenossenschaften vom 4.Juli 1868" (Implementation Ordinance on the North German Federal Laws concerning the Private Law Status of Acquisition and Economic Cooperatives of 4 July 1868) of 30 November 1868 (Hamburgische Gesetzsammlung Bd.III, p.86-88) from 1 January 1869. In Bergedorf, a separate commercial register was created at the local court from 1.1.1873 (announcement of 29.12.1872, Hamburgische Gesetzsammlung Bd.VIII, p.249-251). With the entry into force of the Reich Law on Trademark Protection of 4.12.1874 on 1.5.1875, the "entry of the trademark of goods" in a register of signs was transferred to the Commercial Court (Announcement of 26.4.1875, Hamburgische Gesetzsammlung Bd.XI, p.52-54). In the following year, due to § 9 of the Reichsgesetz regarding the copyright on designs and models of 11.1.1876 (Reichsgesetzblatt, p.12), the keeping of the design register was added. The Court Constitution Act of 27.1.1877 (Reichsgesetzblatt, p.41) ended the old Hamburg Court Constitution on 1.10.1879. For the tasks of the "Handelsgerichts-Bureau für das Firmen- und Procurenwesen" (Commercial Court Bureau for Companies and Procurators), i.e. keeping the commercial, cooperative, design and trademark registers, the district court was responsible for the Hamburg territory with the exception of the Ritzebüttel and Bergedorf district authorities; for the aforementioned district authorities, the district court concerned was responsible (§ 5 of the Act concerning the non-contentious jurisdiction of 25 July 1879, HamburgischeGesetzsammlung Bd.XV, pp. 253-255). On 1.10.1894 the jurisdiction for the protection of trademarks ended. It was transferred to the Reich Patent Office (Law for the Protection of Waaren Designations of 12.5.1894, Reichegesetzblatt, p.441-448). The Stock Exchange Act of 22.6.1896 (Reichsgesetzblatt, p.157-176) added the maintenance of two stock exchange registers, one for goods and one for securities. For the district courts of Bergedorf and Ritzebüttel, no stock exchange registers were established, but jurisdiction was transferred to the regional court. The registers were kept until the amendment of the Stock Exchange Act in 1908. On 1.1.1900 the "Bureau für die Handels-, Genossenschafts-, Markenschutz- und Mustererschutz-Register" (Bureau for the Commercial, Cooperative, Trademark and Design Protection Registers) transferred its duties to the District Court at the Regional Court (§ 125 of the Reichsgesetz über die freiwillige Gerichtsbarkeit vom 17.5.1898, Reichsgesetzblatt, p.189). Register maintenance Two registers were created on 2.1.1836, the Company Protocol (A 6) and the Procuration Protocol (A 7), on the grounds of the company office. In the company protocol, all registrations provided for by the law, with the exception of procurations, were recorded. This remained essentially the case until the entry into force of the General German Commercial Code. From 1843 to 1856, a special "protocol of foreign companies" (A 8) was kept, in which foreign companies whose owners were temporarily in Hamburg were registered. Parallel to this, from 1843 to 1847 there was a "protocol for procurations by foreign companies" (A 9). The Protocol on Powers of Attorney (A 10), which ran from 1957 until the entry into force of the General German Commercial Code (Allgemeines Deutscher Handelsgesetzbuch), was considerably more comprehensive than the two aforementioned protocols. In contrast to authorised signatories, the persons entered in these minutes were only entitled to represent a company in accordance with the deposited power of attorney. After the entry into force of the General German Commercial Code (Allgemeines Deutscher Handelsgesetzbuch), the company and proxy protocols were declared commercial registers within the meaning of the Code (§ 1 of the transitional provisions to the Introductory Act, Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.33, p.559). They continued to be guided. A protocol for public limited companies (A 11) has been newly established. In this register, in addition to the joint-stock companies registered so far in the company minutes, the proxies of foreign companies registered so far in the power of attorney minutes were also recorded. Furthermore, until the creation of a special protocol for cooperatives (A 18) on 1 January 1869, "associations" of craftsmen were entered in this protocol. As there had been repeated difficulties with the neighbouring states because of the recognition of extracts from the "Protocols", "Registers" were established on 1.1.1876. The older entries were not transferred. The company register (A 12) for sole traders and the company register (A 13) for open commercial companies and limited partnerships were created as a continuation of the company protocol, as well as the shareholder register II (A 14) for joint stock companies and limited partnerships on shares and the company register III (A 15) for authorised representatives and agents of foreign anonymous companies as a continuation of the company protocol. The protocol of the cooperatives became the register of cooperatives (A 19). Only the Prokura protocol continued to exist under the old name. Until 31.12.1875 15129 numbers had been assigned in the company minutes, 407 numbers in the minutes of the joint-stock companies. For the Company Register and the Company Register I a common numbering was made starting with no. 15130 up to 31.12.1889. From 1.1.1890 onwards, each register beginning with No. 27401 has sequential numbers. The registers of companies resulting from the minutes of joint-stock companies also have a common numbering - beginning with No. 408 - which was maintained until 1904. From 1.6.1885, the Company Register IV (A 16) was created for the branches of foreign companies that had previously been entered in the Company Register II. Finally, in 1895, the Company Register V (A 17) was established for limited liability companies. Until then, they had also been entered in the Company Register II. With the 31.12.1899 the Prokurprotokolle end. The authorized signatories were now entered in the corresponding company register or company register I, as was already the case with anonymous companies. Following the entry into force of the new Commercial Code, the entries previously made in Company Register III (A 15) for authorised representatives of foreign companies were no longer permissible. From now on, the legal entities whose obligation to register is determined in § 33 et seq. of the new Commercial Code of 10 May 1897 (Reichsgesetzblatt, p. 219) were included in this register. (in: Senate Commission for the Administration of Justice, II C d 3 a 1 Vol. 1) the closure of the registers of companies, partnerships and cooperatives was determined. The commercial registers A, B and C and a new cooperative register took their place from 1.1.1905. The contents of the old registers, which were still valid, were gradually transferred to the new registers. The stock exchange and model registers remained unaffected. Delivery, loss of records and order Since 1902, the files due for destruction at the end of the retention periods have been delivered annually to the various registers by the Local Court. The files for all registers were filed by the court after deletion of the entries according to a common Repositioning number sequence - The first delivery of registers (protocols) and lists of names apparently took place in 1910. Further registers and protocols of general content were delivered on 4.1.1933 (G.A. H 2 a 54). The large series reached the State Archives on 11.2.1950. In the years 1951, 1953, 1961 and 1967 smaller subsequent deliveries took place. Losses of records have occurred both at the Local Court and in the State Archives. No registers have yet been delivered to the State Archives: Company Protocol No. 15084 to 15129, Procuration Protocol No. 11767-12016, and Protocol for Joint Stock Companies (No. 1-407). In the State Archives, Volume 2 of the Protocol on Interrogation and Volume 3 of the Protocol on Powers of Attorney were probably destroyed by water damage during the Second World War. The files relating to the registers are also incomplete. Losses occurred due to cassations at the district court and water damage at the state archives. The administrative work now being carried out concerns only the protocols and registers for which delivery directories were previously only partially available. A review of the files and possible cassation of those containing only extracts from the registers was initially postponed. Notes on use 1. running time information The running time information for the registers only takes into account the date on which the respective register sheet was set up. They have therefore been placed in parentheses. However, almost every sheet also contains later entries. 2) Mutual references In the case of entries for a company in different register series, as well as in the case of the creation of new pages (if the old ones were fully written), mutual references have always been made, as far as established. 3. company register II to V The individual volumes frequently also contain entries for shareholders with lower register numbers than can be assumed from the title. Reference is made to such entries in the previous section. 4. directories of names A complete directory of names for all entries is not available, but almost all series are indexed by alphabetical or rough alphabetical directories. An attempt has been made to determine the existing name directories as precisely as possible. Finding the register numbers for corporations is particularly difficult. These companies have been listed very differently in the individual name directories, partly under the company name, partly according to sectors or - without taking the company name into account - under A (joint-stock company). V List of Abbreviations The following abbreviations are used in the protocols and registers: A - Commercial register A (after 1904) AG - Protocol for public limited companies B - Commercial register B (after 1904) C - Commercial register C (after 1904) Cons.Prot. - Consensual Protocol (Protocol on Consent to Continuation of the Company in the Event of Change of Owners) P - Company Protocol or Company Register PF - Protocol of External Companies PF - Company Protocol FR - Company Register G - Company Register or Cooperative Register or Protocol of Cooperatives GR - Company Register HR A - Commercial register A (after 1904) HR B - Commercial register B (after 1904) HR 0 - Commercial register C (after 1904) KP - Collective power of attorney MR - Model register P - Procuration protocol PF - Procuration protocol UB - Judgment book UP - Judgment protocol - Judgment book V - Power of attorney protocol VP - Interrogation protocol Z - (goods) sign register July 1967, Stukenbrock Archival History: The Best. contains the registers kept before 1905 and the files of companies that ceased to exist before 1905, if the content goes substantially beyond the entry in the register. The documents were delivered to the State Archives by the Local Court in 1902, 1933, 1950-1953, 1961 and 1967. The indexing took place successively after the non-archival register files had been sorted out. The retroconversion of the data took place in 2011. The inventory is to be quoted as follows: State Archives Hamburg 231-3 Commercial Register, No. ... Inventory description: In order to prevent the misuse of company names and to be able to determine who is entitled to act on behalf of a company, the obligation for merchants to register the legal relationships of their companies with the commercial court in a register accessible to everyone was introduced on 1 January 1836. However, until 1 August 1866, when the relevant provisions of the Introductory Act to the General German Commercial Code entered into force, the obligation existed only for newly established companies and for them only if the company name and the name of the owner were not identical. The possibility of voluntary registration was given. The company protocol initially established for all entries except procurations was later replaced by registers for each legal form. Special registers were added as cooperative registers (from 1869), sign registers (from 1875), design protection registers (from 1876) and stock exchange registers for goods and securities (from 1896). For each register number, a file was kept which contained documents filed in addition to a copy of the register entry. From 1 October 1879 the registers were kept at the regional court, from 1 January 1900 at the district court in Hamburg. The district courts of Bergedorf and Ritzebüttel kept their own registers for their sprinkles. The registers of companies, societies and cooperatives were closed on 31 December 1904, their still valid contents transferred to the commercial registers and a new cooperative register. The Best. contains the registers kept before 1905 and the files before 1905 of extinct enterprises, if the contents go substantially beyond the register entry.

Inventory description: Dept. 185 Family and company archive Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl Scope: 760 archive cartons, oversized formats (= 3169/3561 units of description (with a,b,c subdivisions approx. 3200) = 77 linear metres - of which 3.5 linear metres photo albums) Duration: 1877 - 1988 The holdings Dept. 185 Family and Company Archive Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl was handed over to the Worms City Archive as a deposit at the end of 1997 by Ludwig Cornelius Freiherr von Heyl (jun., 1920-2010). The documents stored in two cellar rooms of the Heylshof included or include both the private and parts of the former company archives of Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl until its closure in 1974. At the time of the takeover there was a list of "files Baron Ludwig jun. now in the Heylshofkeller", which had presumably been drawn up in the course of the relocation from Liebenau to the Heylshof. The written material was subdivided into VII main groups, the contents were roughly titled and the respective number of folders as well as their running time were recorded. For parts of the material, two storage-related provenance data were discernible. On the one hand the information "Files Baron Ludwig, vom Speicher Werk Liebenau" (old signature no. 784 - 889, no. 891 - 1163), on the other hand "Secretariat Baron Ludwig" (old signature no. 622 - 783) was found. Before being transported to the external magazine of the city archive (upper archive cellar in the administration building Adenauerring), the archive numbered the pieces and compiled an inventory list in which the folder spine titles were transferred, while maintaining the existing order. However, the material was not only filed in file folders, but was also partly tied up in metal cassettes, folders, a suitcase and in bundles. 45 large-format photo albums by Ludwig Freiherr von Heyl sen. (approx. 3.5 running metres) were also included. A total of approx. 1350 units were registered. For over ten years, this inventory list served as a provisional finding aid until the end of 2007, when the signatory began to record the archival data in the AUGIAS EDP archive program, which was completed in September 2009. In spring 2009, surprisingly more documents were discovered in a cupboard in the Heylshof, which were handed over to the city archives and could still be taken into account in the indexing. These were mainly documents relating to the Heylshof Foundation and files in connection with the liquidation of the Liebenau plant. First, a large part of the material was transferred to the city archives. In the run-up to the respective title recording in AUGIAS, a series of "handicrafts" had to be carried out. Various conservation measures were carried out in accordance with the requirements for the conservation of stocks. The documents were transferred from the file folders into acid-free archive folders, while the paper clips were also removed. Some files were dirty and cleaned, some had traces of mould. From many file folders two partly three new units were formed, which are reconstructable however by appropriate addition with the old archive signature as total units again. Some personal papers that could be rescued from the burnt-out Majorshof (Majorshof fire as a result of the war on 21.2.1945) in metal cassettes showed or show fire damage (brittle paper, poorly legible writing, etc.). In those cases in which it was justifiable from the conservation point of view, copies were made and the damaged documents left in envelopes in the fascicles for protection. Most recently, the units of description were packaged in acid-free archive cartons - a total of 757 cartons. The indexing was carried out according to Bär's principle (i.e. sequential numbering), the signatures of the provisional inventory list were recorded and enable the new signature to be found by means of concordance. If the file folders contained registry data, these were taken into account in the title recording so that statements about the completeness or the losses can also be made on the basis of old file directories to the private archive or the company registry. Various directories are available, e.g. in the holdings of Dept. 180/1 Firmenarchiv Heyl-Liebenau, in which the same registration mark system was used as for most documents from the provenance of Baron Ludwig sen. Field letters (1914-1918) were an extensive series, most of which had been stored bundled in wrapping paper. It was decided to remove the letters from the envelopes in the order in which they were found and to insert both parts, perforated, into the tube staplers. The positive aspects of this procedure were decisive in comparison to the damage caused by perforation, which was obviously originally intended anyway, as some field post letters already available in magazines show. The letters are easy to use when unfolded, they remain in the order in which they were found and the envelopes, most of which were destroyed in other correspondence after being placed in files, enable the sender to be identified. Most of the plans available, in particular for the Majorshof (also for the stable building converted into a residential building after the war), including plans of the Plum Building Council, were digitized, copies added to the inventory for better use, as well as two CD-ROMs with the photographs, which are also available in the photo archive. The large series with photo negatives (almost 7700 pieces) were left in the found labeled envelopes. They require subsequent cleaning and optimal conservation storage. This work should possibly be combined with a simultaneous digitalisation. The time-consuming creation of an index was dispensed with, as the keyword search in AUGIAS leads to the respective finding places. A good ten percent of the holdings were marked with a blocking notice in accordance with the requirements of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Archives Act. About 60 files were collected. These were essentially bulk documents such as newsletters from various associations and federations, advertising brochures, information leaflets (e.g. the so-called Fuchsbriefe), bank statements, etc. Classification: The classification for the collection Dept. 185 was only developed after the indexing, despite the provisional inventory list. This approach proved to be useful in retrospect, as it would certainly have given rise in advance to an excessively complex breakdown of content, which would probably have caused problems due to overlaps and thus not clearly realisable classifications. After completion of the distortion work, a three-division of the classification was fixed. The material assigned to main group 1 and accounting for approximately half of the inventory in terms of quantity comprises the estate of Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl sen. from about 1905/14 until his death in 1962. Here you will find personal-private items (name, family, diaries, private certificates and documents, anniversaries etc.), further correspondence (general correspondence, family, field post letters, artists' correspondence), also documents from the private, family and other sphere of activity of his wife Eva Marie von Heyl née von der Marwitz. In addition, material is available on his social commitment (in particular the Kunsthaus Heylshof Foundation), his political activities (town and country, political parties, political committees), his membership/activity in associations (e.g. Johanniterorden, Burschenschaft Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg, Heidelberger Kreis; NS economic group Leather Industry), numerous Wormser and supra-regional associations, his active military years and connections to military and veteran associations after 1918. In addition, photo albums and photo and negative series belong to the documents of Baron Ludwig sen. The second classification group comprises documents and correspondence since 1945 from Ludwig's son Ludwig Frhr. von Heyl jun., born in 1920, of the same name, with essentially correspondence (private and business), personal (private papers, war memoirs, documents concerning various stages of life, diary, family; duration 1920 - 1982) and various activities / activities in professional and trade associations, politics, Rotary club and associations. The third and last main classification group was set up for the files on the Lederwerke, primarily Heyl-Liebenau. Here you can find business documents from the time since 1923 when Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl sen. took over responsibility for the Lederwerke Heyl-Liebenau in Worms-Neuhausen, through the takeover and management by his son Ludwig jun. to the dissolution of this company, the last to produce leather in Worms, in 1974. Content: The documents in the inventory begin with Ludwig von Heyls years of study in Heidelberg (around 1905) and the simultaneous entry into his father's factory, the Lederwerke Cornelius Heyl. Private and general correspondence series as well as extensive field post (1914-1918) document his extremely broad activities in associations and federations of the Protestant national liberal bourgeoisie. Correspondence with associations, mainly regional (Aufbauverein bzw. Wiederaufbauwerk Worms e.V., Verkehrsverein Worms, Kasino- und Musikgesellschaft, Ruderclub Worms e.V., etc.) but also supra-regional associations include some file fascicles, others contain correspondence and documents on the Order of St John. The wealth of material on Ludwig von Heyl's decades of membership and activity in the exclusive student association Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg and the student association Heidelberger Kreis deserves special mention. During Ludwig von Heyl's active military service, there are records of his later active association with military veterans' associations and comradeships. Also correspondence with artists (e.g. sculptor David Fahrner, Prof. Schmoll von Eisenwerth, Daniel Greiner, Erich Arnold), some of which he sponsored as patrons, can be found in this collection. Ludwig C. von Heyls political activity (for the DVP) in the Wormser city parliament from 1918 to 1930, as hess. His involvement in local politics after 1945, as well as his work in the Evangelical Regional Church, is reflected in his work as a member of the Landtag (1924-1927). The splendid photo albums (from 1903 - 1937), which not only document the family environment and private activities, but also illustrate political and social events with supplementary source material (documents, newspaper clippings, leaflets, programmes, etc.), have a special source value. A continuation of the series was obviously planned, but was not implemented. However, material collections on "projected photo albums" are available until 1950. These were collected in envelopes and were stored in a suitcase when they were taken over. Further photographic material, negative series (negatives, glass plates, prints), including photographs from children's schools in Worms and the Sophienstift old people's home from the 1920s as well as photographs relating to Heyl-Liebenau offer a dense pictorial tradition up to the 1950s, and there are also some photo albums of other family members. Ludwig von Heyl sen. created a large proportion of photographic material and postcard series as material collections for lectures on travel. In the written record, which comes from the provenance of Ludwig C. Freiherr von Heyl jun., are, apart from correspondence (private and business), a large part of his work and membership in professional associations (hptsl. Verband der Deutschen Lederindustrie, in the association and in the VGTC - Verein für Gerberchemie und Technik). The available stock includes materials of various sizes from the Heyl-Liebenau leather works (from 1923), Emil Waeldin AG (from 1936), subsidiaries and foreign companies. Business correspondence, travel reports, daily, weekly and monthly reports, annual financial statements and memos are the focus of the documents. The final liquidation is also documented. The Kunsthaus Heylshof Foundation also has a diverse collection of records from its foundation until 1972, which almost completely corresponds to the registry list of the Kunsthaus Heylshof Foundation Files in Dept. 185 No. 2536. It includes, for example, inventories, documents relating to the Swarzenski Catalogue, correspondence, minutes of meetings of the Foundation's Board of Directors, documents relating to various works of art. The whereabouts of the Heylshof plans also listed in the aforementioned file by Attorney Engisch could not yet be determined. The extensive series of correspondence of father and son Ludwig C. von Heyl in this collection contain diverse material not only on the close members of one's own family, but also on the families married to them or linked by assumption of sponsorships. Here the old noble family of the Marwitz (Friedersdorf) is to be mentioned in particular. Ludwig C. Baron von Heyl sen. married Eva Marie von der Marwitz in 1917, with whose twin brothers Gebhard and Bernhard (Geppy and Banni, both killed in World War I) he was already in friendship during his studies in the Corps Saxo-Borussia. Extensive correspondence was also maintained with Adelheid and Bodo von der Marwitz (the other two siblings). Practical hints: When searching by search run, please note that different spellings should be taken into account for the keywords, especially for names, associations, etc. In the course of the manual sorting of the units of description, the alphabetical order on the one hand and the chronological order on the other hand were taken into account, especially for correspondence series. In the case of series of files of business documents, where the files had to be split, the original state of order of the files was normally maintained. This can lead to the fact that, since the files were filed chronologically from the back to the front over certain periods of time, a "chronological turner" can occur in the printed index if the chronological order is behind the filing order. The classification group 2.6.1. professional and trade associations, chambers proved to be so extensive and multi-layered by the old registry order that a complete reorganization was refrained from. For this reason, we recommend either a keyword search run or a review of the entire section in the search book for key areas of interest. For the photo negative series and partly for the glass plate negatives, handwritten claddings and indexes are available in which these are recorded almost completely with numbers and short details for illustration. This generally ensures that individual negatives can be accessed in a targeted manner. Reference to supplementary archive holdings: Here, above all, Dept. 180/1 Heyl'sche Lederwerke Liebenau in the town archives of Worms is to be consulted for the documents concerning the company, as it can be seen from the old registry signatures that the material originates from a provenance. The holdings complement each other and together reflect the original company registration. For the written material referring to the private-personal area or the family, the other large collection is primarily Dept. 186 Family Archives Leonhard von Heyl / Nonnenhof. Here, too, there are interdependencies in the tradition between the two stocks. This is partly also to be documented by preserved old archive registration folders in Dept. 185, which bear the provenance indication Freiherrlich von Heyl zu Herrnsheim'sche Privat-Verwaltung (e.g. Dept. 185 No. 246, No. 298). For the family, the collection holdings of Dept. 170/26 must also be taken into account. For the political activity in the city parliament and in the local politics of father and son Ludwig von Heyl in general, the holdings of Dept. 5 City Administration before 1945 and Dept. 6 City Administration Worms after 1945 were to be used.

  • Signature of the inventory: A - Description of the holding: Files of the city Hof before introduction of the standard file plan of the KGSt - extent of the existence: approx. 600 shelf meters - finding aids: Find book - description of the existence (substantial contents with indication of the running time): The existence contains the files of the city Hof led since 1837 after the old file plan (order after "subjects"). An exact temporal delimitation to the existence A 1 is not possible, since the unit file plan of the KGSt was introduced by individual offices at different times, some offices did not introduce the unit file plan of the KGST yet and into the unit file plan also older files were transferred. - Information on the history of the holdings (with references to literature): In the past, the old files were not recorded in the Hof City Archives. Only the lists of the former "Reposed Registry" were used as finding aids. These are sorted by "subjects", within the subjects by Numerus currens (consecutive number). They are incomplete because files added later have not been fully recorded. In addition, only the titles of the files that were printed on the covers were written off, some of them incorrectly read. Contains notes completely missing. The runtime specifications are often incorrect. The list according to subjects and within the subjects according to the serial numbers has the disadvantage that empty space must be left between the subjects. In order to remedy this situation, the files have been listed since 1994 according to archival aspects. Newly found files are incorporated, superfluous files are collected (thrown away). The structure according to subjects is carefully adapted to the actually existing files and the current usage of language. The signatures are assigned according to Numerus currens without taking the compartments into account in order to avoid empty space on the shelves. This distortion, however, will take several years.

Inventory description: Dept. 159 Herrnsheimer Dalberg-Archiv (files, official books) Size: 1943 units of description (= 27 lfm = 201 archive cartons, 2 large cartons, 2 lfm oversized formats - own inventory: 1878 VE, remainder in Heylshof = 64 VE, with sub-VE in total) 2015) Duration: 1445 - 1866 Zur Familie und Herrschaft Dalberg (Note 1) The family of the chamberlains of Worms, later called 'von Dalberg', belonged as an influential family association to the episcopal ministry of Worms. Since 1239 she held the hereditary office of the chamberlain of Worms; this was later associated with economic-financial privileges in Worms, court rights and the Jewish Court in Worms. Since the 14th century, the family has succeeded in expanding various ownership complexes between Niederelsass and Hunsrück, with a focus on Wormsgau. This also includes the expansion of power in the towns of Herrnsheim and Abenheim, which began in the 14th century, through the acquisition of feudal rights and property (2). The dominion complex with Herrnsheim and Abenheim was predominantly surrounded by Electoral Palatinate territory. Around 1460 a castle was erected in Herrnsheim (castle) and a surrounding wall was built around the village; between 1470 and 1492 a chapel of the local parish church of St. Peter was converted into a burial place, which has led to the development of the situation of a small residential town in Herrnsheim, which can still be seen today from the buildings and the townscape. Today's Herrnsheim Castle, owned by the town of Worms since 1958, was built together with the important English landscape garden in two construction phases from 1808 to 1814 and from 1820 to 1824. The dominion of Dalberg is a typical middle imperial knighthood territory. Since the late Middle Ages, the Dalberg dynasty had provided the fiefdoms of the Electorate of Mainz and Palatinate and held important ecclesiastical offices, including the bishop of Worms, Johann von Dalberg (1445-1503). The family split into different lines and branches. Outstanding persons for whom the collection contains material are Carl Theodor von Dalberg (1744-1817, Elector of Mainz, Grand Duke of Frankfurt); Wolfgang Heribert von Dalberg (1750-1806, Minister of State in Mannheim, Director of the National Theatre); Johann Friedrich Hugo von Dalberg (1760-1812, bishop and humanist); Emmerich Joseph Duc de Dalberg (1773-1833, diplomat and politician). In 1883 John Dalberg-Acton sold Herrnsheim Castle with all its interior and the park from his family's estate to Cornelius Wilhelm Heyl (Cornelius Wilhelm Freiherr von Heyl zu Herrnsheim), a leather industrialist from Worms, due to financial shortages (3). Thus also the library stored there and the documents and files of the Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive of the previous owners were transferred to the buyer. After the death of his father in 1923, D. Dr. jur. Cornelius Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim took over the castle, which he officially moved into in April 1929 (4). In the years of the Second World War the documents were relocated several times for safety reasons and probably suffered incomprehensible, but rather smaller losses (5). Until it was converted into an apartment, the Dalberg Archive was housed in a special archive room locked with an iron door in the castle, then in the library in the tower room on the first floor. When Siegfried Freiherr von Heyl zu Herrnsheim, son of D. Dr. jur. Cornelius Frhr. Heyl zu Herrnsheim, sold the castle to the city of Worms in July 1958 (6), the documents, files and official books of the Dalberg archive kept in boxes and bundles were not part of the sale. However, it was to be left on loan to the town on the basis of an agreement with the community of heirs (in autumn 1959) and an inventory was to be taken before a corresponding contract was concluded (7). This work was done by Carl J. H. Villinger (8), who handed over his summary list with the disaggregation to Dr. Georg Illert on 3.7.1964 (9). The draft of the loan contract was completed to the satisfaction of both parties at the end of 1965, so that there was nothing to prevent it from being concluded the following year. On 19 July 1966, lawyer H. Ramge, in his capacity as joint executor of the will, surprisingly approached the city with the offer that it could purchase the Dalberg Archive and the library holdings of Herrnsheim Palace from the estate of D. Dr. jur. Cornelius Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim (10). With the support of the Landesarchivverwaltung Koblenz, which prepared an expert opinion on the basis of Villinger's list, the value was determined and one year later - in July 1967 - the documents were sold to the city. Thus, the Dalberg Archive, which according to the decree of the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate of 13.7.1961 had been entered into the state register of nationally valuable archives, could remain in Worms as a closed collection (11). A more detailed inventory should then be made, which was completed before the archive was moved to the city archive for security reasons. Villinger had compiled a detailed list of the contents of the 39 archive boxes, the qualitative condition of which was indicated from good to partly very poor, and of the remaining archive documents (12). On the basis of this list of Villingers, the lack of various documents and files as well as individual letters from correspondence series and gaps in official book series could be ascertained (13). In 1980 Siegfried Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim handed over 14 sealed parchment documents and in 1985 his daughter, Mrs. Cornelia von Bodenhausen, another 72, partly decorative documents from the former possession of the treasurers of Worms Freiherr von Dalberg to the Foundation Kunsthaus Heylshof (14). The documents kept there were examined with the consent of the then Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Frhr. Ludwig von Heyl, as part of the project for the Dalberg Regestensammlung under the auspices of Hess. Staatsarchivs Darmstadt microfilmed in Darmstadt in 1985 and included in the Regestenwerk (15). The further written material lying in the Heylshof such as files, correspondence etc. could be taken into account in the preparation of the present repertory (16). Some files, which were offered at an auction in Heidelberg in 1984, could be bought with the support of the Altertumsverein Worms (17). Also in 1994, with the financial support of the Kulturfonds der Wormser Wirtschaft, the city was able to acquire 23 official and accounting books from private sources, which were added to the collection. With the help of this material, gaps in existing series could be closed again. Among these acquisitions was also the inventory "Verzeichnis der Urkunden, Schriftstücke etc. des Kämmerer-Dalbergarchivs Schloß Herrnsheim...", compiled in 1919 by Heyl's librarian and archivist Wilhelm Graf, in which he [until then] had only recorded the documents (18). For the use and recording of the Dept. 159 This inventory, Dept. 159, comprises the Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive (files and official books), which, together with the other inventories, Dept. 159-U Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive (documents) and Dept. 159-P Dalberg Plan Collection, comprises the entire collection of the archive of the chamberlains of Worms Freiherr von Dalberg, formerly kept in the Herrnsheimer Palace. As a complex aristocratic archive within the holdings of the Worms City Archive, it is of supra-regional importance. It reflects the work of a knightly aristocratic family with its lordly function and family ties. After the takeover of the material by the city of Worms in 1967, the directory prepared by C. J. H. Villinger served as a finding aid for years. In the archive, the bundles and official books of No. 1 - No. 428 were numbered consecutively and recorded in a corresponding list. While the documents (No. 1 - No. 323, plus sub-numbers (19)) already registered in 1919 by the Heyl's librarian and archivist Wilhelm Graf in document folders with numbers and title entries were initially easy to use, the files and folders with short titles and box numbers contained in the remaining archive boxes were relatively reliably findable, but only vaguely citable due to missing individual signatures. After in the 1980s the processing of the Dalbergian document holdings in Darmstadt, Worms (Stadtarchiv, Heylshof, Pfarrarchiv Herrnsheim) and in other archives had been implemented under the auspices of the Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt, a more precise indexing of the files was started as a further project (20). Dr. Jürgen Rainer Wolf of the Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt processed the documents kept in the other archive boxes of the Worms Dalberg Archive, which were brought to Darmstadt for this purpose. However, only a part of the boxes (21) was opened, and each box was given a number with sub-numbers separated by slashes for the individual pieces contained therein. However, the work did not come to a conclusion. With immediate effect Wolf's finding aid, which also included official book series, had to be used in addition to the directory compiled by Villinger (22). From then on, the use of the holdings was regarded as a particular challenge, especially since there was also a link between the holdings of documents and files. This was because, at the time of the document project, the comprehensive record of documents also included the documents lying dormant in the files, the location of which was then not reliable or only difficult to secure (23). At the beginning of 2011, due to the unsatisfactory usability of the inventory on the one hand and due to the discontinuous and inconsistent depth of distortion on the other hand, the complete new distortion of the file inventory was decided and completed in October 2012. The signatures should not be changed completely, but as many as possible should be preserved and the link with existing old signatures by means of concordance should of course be guaranteed. The titles were recorded directly in the Augias archive program, at the same time the documents were embedded in acid-free archive folders and boxes. "The numbering of the convolutes was retained as signatures and, if necessary, sub-numbers separated by slashes were assigned as soon as the mostly extensive fascicles contained various individual folders. "The official records retained their signatures. "The Wolf's units of description with their signatures (no. 430/1ff - no. 440/1ff) were taken over, sifted through and the existing title recordings were deepened and supplemented on the basis of the newly recorded pieces. "Documents (24) possibly in the files, which were considered in the Dalberger Regesten volumes, were seized with the title admission both over the old signature, and usually with reference to the sequential number in the second volume of the Dalberger Regesten (25). "The further archive boxes not yet taken up by Wolf were continued and listed according to the given pattern, i.e. each further archive box received a new number (No. 442ff (26)) and the individual files, folders etc. preserved therein were provided with sub-numbers, separated by a slash. "The unlisted material found at the end of the inventory was then added with consecutive signatures. "The Dalberg letters purchased on various occasions in the 1970s, mainly letters from Carl Theodor von Dalberg, which had been integrated into the collection at the time, also remained with the new indexing in Dept. 159. " The documents kept at Kunsthaus Heylshof were recorded and selected pieces digitized (27). The digital copies were integrated in the Worms Municipal Archives into the collection of Dept. 159, since the pieces of their provenance can be attributed to the former Herrnsheim Dalberg Archive. In the case of the originals, the signatures of the city archives were noted, while the numbering used in the Heylshof (28) was recorded as an "old signature" in the title recording. This enables targeted access to the originals at Heylshof if required. "Within the scope of the registration work also the files of Dept. 159 N were dissolved (29) and inserted into Dept. 159 (now Dept. 159 No. 852 - No. 884). These are files, correspondence and family papers (mainly on the Petersau donation and the Tascher affair), which obviously also belonged to the Dalberg Archive in the past. These once formed the inventory of Dept. 158 of Dalberg, which must have existed before 1967, about its origin, i.e. (pre-)provenance before transfer into the archive, but no information is available. During the title recording it became apparent that the inventory did not have a coherent structure and that the development of a system would only make sense after completion of the work. The classification was finally drawn up on the basis of the main points of content. The assignment of each individual unit of description to the corresponding classification group then took place in a final work step, after the completion of which a real overview of the contents of the present tradition and its meaning in its entirety could be obtained. Contents The documents that were last kept in the library tower of Herrnsheim Castle before being transferred to the Worms City Archives essentially comprise archival documents relating to the Herrnsheim Dalberg Line. By the marriage (oo 12.1.1771) Wolfgang Heribert von Dalbergs with Elisabetha Augusta nee Ulner von Dieburg (30) as well as by connections of the Dalberger with other families further document and file material was added. The collection of Dept. 159 as part of the Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive comprises the file and official book tradition, the temporal focus of which clearly lies in the 18th and the first half of the 19th century. The early material (from 1249) is mostly copies of documents. A copy in which a large number of documents were recorded between 1249 and 1469 (31) deserves special mention here. Temporal "runaways" in the 20th century came about through subsequent additions to the holdings. On the one hand, various correspondences and records had been added sporadically at the time of the von Heyl family (32) and on the other hand, in connection with the purchase of Dalberg letters, the corresponding correspondence had been left with the letters (33). The most closed collection within the Dept. 159 is the archive material dating back to Emmerich Joseph von Dalberg (1773-1833). Due to the fact that with him the Herrnsheimer Dalberg line died out in the male tribe, after the death of his father Wolfgang Heribert all administrative matters of the Herrnsheimer line and after the death of his uncle Carl Theodor von Dalberg as his universal heir were incumbent upon him the order and administration of his inheritance including the Regensburg endowment. Furthermore and especially in Dept. 159 there is the diplomatic estate of the Duc de Dalberg with numerous memoirs, correspondence and rich material (targeted collection, own records etc.) on the (foreign) policy of France and other European countries. In addition, its business activities are richly reflected, not least in the activities of the Paravey Bank.

Histoire de l'inventeur : fondements juridiques Au début du XIXe siècle, l'Allemagne comptait 29 droits de brevet et systèmes de privilège différents, chacun ayant un effet territorial, et une grande fragmentation juridique prévalait dans le domaine de la protection de la propriété industrielle. La loi sur les brevets du 25 mai 1877 (RGBl. p. 501), élaborée par une commission des brevets de la Chancellerie du Reich, a mis fin à cette situation. C'était plus favorable à l'industrie qu'à l'inventeur parce que le premier demandeur, et non l'inventeur, avait droit à la délivrance et que les brevets pouvaient être exploités commercialement. Chacun avait le droit d'examiner les documents de subvention. Dès lors, les descriptions et les dessins sont publiés officiellement. Bien que la possibilité d'octroyer des licences à des tiers sans transférer le droit des brevets ait été prévue, le titulaire du brevet était soumis à une obligation de licence indirecte trois ans après l'octroi. La base juridique de l'Office impérial des brevets a été constituée par la loi sur les brevets susmentionnée et l'ordonnance du 18 juin 1877 sur l'établissement, la procédure et le cours des affaires de l'Office des brevets (RGBl. p. 533). Cependant, la protection par brevet n'était pas encore assez efficace et le nombre de demandes augmenta, de sorte qu'une nouvelle loi sur les brevets (RGBl. p. 79) fut adoptée le 4 avril 1891. D'abord et avant tout, elle a renforcé les droits des titulaires de brevets. La notion de nouveauté au sens de l'article 2 de la loi a été limitée et, sous certaines conditions, la suspension de la publication a été rendue possible. La loi sur la protection des modèles d'utilité du 1er juin 1891 (RGBl. p. 290) complète la loi sur les brevets et, comme elle, entre en vigueur le 1er octobre 1891. C'était devenu nécessaire, puisque la loi sur le droit d'auteur sur les dessins et modèles du 11 janvier 1876 (RGBl. p. 11) ne protégeait que les brevets dits de dessins et modèles, mais pas les modèles servant à accroître la facilité d'utilisation (modèles d'utilité). La loi du 12 mai 1894 sur la protection de la désignation des marchandises (RGBl. p. 441) a permis une nouvelle unification de la protection des droits de propriété industrielle. Jusqu'en 1874, il n'existait que des droits d'enseigne régionaux dans cette région. La loi du 30 novembre 1874 sur la protection des marques (RGBl. p. 1943) avait conféré compétence pour l'enregistrement aux tribunaux locaux. Cette tâche incombait désormais également à l'Office des brevets. La loi sur les conseils en brevets du 21 mai 1900 (RGBl. p. 233 ; révisée par la loi sur les conseils en brevets du 28 septembre 1933 (cf. RGBl. II p. 669) a introduit une liste de mandataires agréés dans les procédures devant l'Office des brevets, une Commission d'examen et une Cour d'honneur des conseils en brevets. Les efforts de réforme importants entrepris depuis 1900 environ, qui ont abouti en 1913 à la rédaction par le gouvernement du Reich d'un projet de nouvelle loi sur les brevets et d'une nouvelle loi sur les modèles d'utilité, ont été interrompus par le déclenchement de la Première Guerre mondiale. La loi sur les brevets du 5 mai 1936 (RGBl. II p. 117) a principalement apporté des changements qui ont profité à l'inventeur, notamment le remplacement du principe du demandeur par celui de l'inventeur, le soutien aux inventeurs impécunieux et un délai de grâce. Le droit des brevets devrait protéger la propriété intellectuelle de l'inventeur. La loi sur les modèles d'utilité du 5 mai 1936 (RGBl. II p. 130) a aligné le droit matériel des modèles d'utilité et le droit procédural sur la loi sur les brevets. La nouvelle loi sur les marques du 5 mai 1936 (RGBl. II p. 134) apporte également diverses innovations. Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, outre l'introduction de brevets secrets et de possibilités d'appel limitées, le droit des inventions des employés a également progressé dans l'intérêt de l'industrie de l'armement. Tâches de l'Office des brevets Les tâches principales de l'Office des brevets étaient la délivrance des brevets et la décision de nullité ou de révocation des brevets ainsi que l'octroi des licences obligatoires. Il en est résulté une double fonction, à la fois en tant qu'autorité administrative et en tant qu'autorité judiciaire. Les décisions de nullité pouvaient faire l'objet d'un recours devant le Reichsoberhandelsgericht de Leipzig et, à partir du 1er octobre 1879, devant le Reichsgericht. Un domaine d'activité particulier de l'Office des brevets du Reich pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale a été la rétorsion des brevets. Sur la base du § 26 de l'Ordonnance sur le traitement des biens hostiles du 15 janvier 1940 (RGBl I p. 191), le ministre de la Justice du Reich a publié plusieurs ordonnances sur les droits de propriété industrielle et les droits d'auteur des ressortissants étrangers dans les années suivantes. Si des ressortissants ou des entreprises allemands étaient soumis à des restrictions sur l'utilisation de brevets étrangers en raison de l'absence d'accords ou de traités bilatéraux sur la base de lois exceptionnelles, et si des entreprises étrangères accordaient un traitement différent aux citoyens de ces États étrangers en représailles de leurs propres brevets, ils étaient indemnisés par le Reich allemand des pertes financières subies. Afin de sauvegarder les intérêts généraux, des droits d'exercice pourraient être accordés aux sociétés allemandes en ce qui concerne les droits de propriété des ressortissants étrangers en vigueur en Allemagne. Il est également possible de suspendre la délivrance de brevets ou d'enregistrer des modèles d'utilité et des marques. Les ordonnances correspondantes ont été rendues par le Président de l'Office des brevets du Reich, dont la décision n'était pas susceptible de recours. Organisation Au début de ses activités, l'Office des brevets était divisé en six divisions des demandes (pour les demandes de brevet) et une division des nullités. Il n'y avait pas de chambres de recours distinctes, puisque l'une des autres chambres de recours statuait sur les recours formés contre les décisions de l'une d'elles. La loi sur les brevets de 1891 a créé pour la première fois une séparation fonctionnelle claire entre les départements des demandes, des recours et des nullités ainsi qu'une procédure d'examen préliminaire par les membres des départements des demandes. La loi de 1891 sur les modèles d'utilité a rendu nécessaire la création d'un bureau de dépôt des modèles d'utilité. Toutefois, la procédure d'annulation du modèle d'utilité s'est déroulée devant les tribunaux ordinaires. La loi de 1894 sur les marques a conduit à la création de départements des marques. Le 31 octobre 1917, le Bureau des brevets a été séparé du portefeuille du Reichsamt des Innern et subordonné au Reichsjustizamt. Le 24 mars 1919, elle reçut la dénomination "Reichspatentamt" (RPA). En 1926, le Grand Sénat a été créé au sein de l'Office des brevets du Reich, qui a reçu le pouvoir de décision sur les questions juridiques fondamentales. Les lois sur la protection de la propriété industrielle de 1936 ont entraîné les changements organisationnels suivants : Dans le domaine des brevets, les départements des demandes de brevet, des appels et des nullités ont été rebaptisés Sénats, dirigés par des présidents de Sénat. Dans le domaine des marques, il y avait désormais des services des marques et des comités d'examen des plaintes. Dans le domaine des modèles d'utilité, la compétence en matière d'annulation de modèle d'utilité a été transférée des tribunaux civils à l'Office des brevets. C'est pourquoi, outre l'Unité des modèles d'utilité, qui est responsable des demandes, il existe également des divisions des modèles d'utilité qui s'occupent des annulations. Par ordonnance du 17 juin 1938 (RGBl. I p. 638), l'Office autrichien des brevets et le Tribunal autrichien des brevets ont été repris avec effet au 1er juillet 1938 et intégrés à l'Office des brevets du Reich comme succursale autrichienne. La succursale fut cependant fermée par décret du ministre de la Justice du Reich du 23 décembre 1941 (voir "Deutsche Justiz" 1942, p. 13) le 31 mars 1942 (voir R 131/587-589, 794-796, 1021-1025). En avril 1945, l'Office des brevets du Reich arrêta ses activités. En raison des conséquences de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, des offices des brevets distincts se sont développés dans les deux États allemands, en République fédérale d'Allemagne, l'Office allemand des brevets (DPA) basé à Munich avec un bureau à Berlin et en République démocratique allemande l'Office des inventions et des brevets (AfEP). L'évolution du personnel de l'Office des brevets Outre le président, qui portait le titre de "président" depuis la publication du 26 octobre 1882, une distinction a été faite dans le personnel de l'Office des brevets entre les membres permanents et non permanents et les "autres" agents (agents auxiliaires). D'une part, il y avait des membres ayant des connaissances juridiques, c'est-à-dire qualifiés pour exercer des fonctions de juge ou des fonctions administratives supérieures, et d'autre part, il y avait des membres techniques, c'est-à-dire des experts dans un domaine technique, qui travaillaient tous à temps partiel pendant les premières années de l'Office des brevets. En 1877, le Bureau des brevets employait au total 39 personnes. Au cours de l'expansion du personnel, le nombre d'employés est passé de 39 (1877) à 172 (1889), mais le nombre de membres n'a augmenté que de 22 à 36, ce qui s'explique par l'embauche accrue d'assistants techniques (assistants scientifiques). Suite à la réorganisation par la loi sur les brevets de 1891, qui a également entraîné la nomination des membres à vie, le nombre d'employés est passé de plus de 600 (1900) à près de 1.000 (1914). Le nombre de techniciens a augmenté de plus en plus par rapport au nombre d'avocats. Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, de plus en plus de femmes ont été embauchées comme auxiliaires. Après la guerre, le niveau de 1914 n'a été atteint qu'en 1926 avec environ 1 000 employés. A partir de 1930, le nombre d'employés a commencé à augmenter rapidement pour atteindre son maximum en 1939 avec environ 1900 personnes. Coopération internationale : La première coopération internationale a eu lieu à l'occasion de la "Convention de Paris pour la protection de la propriété industrielle" du 20 mars 1883 (voir R 131/1049-1052, 1055). Cependant, ce n'est que le 1er mars 1903 que l'Allemagne l'a rejointe. Depuis lors, l'accord est considéré comme faisant partie du droit interne allemand. Ses principales dispositions étaient la priorité de l'Union et le traitement national de tous les citoyens de l'Union. Depuis la révision de 1911, ce traitement s'applique également aux modèles d'utilité et aux marques. L'"Arrangement de Madrid concernant l'enregistrement international des marques" du 14 avril 1891 (cf. R 131/1040, 1077-1081), auquel l'Allemagne a adhéré en 1924, est également particulièrement important. Cela a conduit à la création de l'Office des Marques pour l'Enregistrement International des Marques auprès de l'Office des Brevets du Reich. Description de l'inventaire : Historique de l'inventaire Comme d'autres bureaux administratifs, l'Office des brevets du Reich, situé Gitschiner Strasse 97-103 à Berlin, a externalisé une grande partie de ses documents vers d'autres sites pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. A partir de 1943, les documents secrets, l'ensemble du matériel d'examen, les dossiers des 21 départements de brevets ainsi que la quasi-totalité des documents relatifs aux demandes de brevets en instance (environ 180.000 dossiers de délivrance de brevets de première instance) sont arrivés en Silésie, un pénitencier vacant à Striegau et dans la ville de Jauer. Les documents secrets concernant les demandes de brevet, les modèles d'utilité secrets, les brevets délivrés et les brevets spéciaux furent ramenés à Berlin en janvier 1945 et dans une mine de potasse abandonnée à Heringen (Werra) en février 1945. Les dossiers personnels ainsi que la plupart des fonds de la bibliothèque de l'Office des brevets du Reich (environ 300.000 volumes) et l'"Index", le registre des brevets depuis 1939, y ont également été déplacés - à l'exception de la lettre R, dont le registre est resté au Striegau. Striegau fut occupé le 10 février 1945 par les troupes soviétiques qui firent sauter la prison. Tout le matériel d'examen, les dossiers de 18 divisions de brevets et le registre des brevets pour la lettre R ont été victimes des flammes. Les restes récupérés après la reconquête de la ville par les troupes allemandes ont été apportés à Heringen. Le matériel d'examen et les dossiers des trois départements de brevets restants, qui étaient auparavant conservés à Jauer, ont été transférés à Eger et de là à Lichtenfels. D'autres parties, surtout les livres et le matériel d'examen, ont été fuies du Striegau en mars 1945 vers un atelier forestier à Bayerisch-Eisenstein. Ces documents ont survécu aux troubles des derniers jours de la guerre. Toutefois, le sort des documents écrits transférés à Jauer est incertain. Parmi les documents restants à Berlin, surtout les dossiers de délivrance de brevets de deuxième instance, c'est-à-dire les procédures d'appel et de nullité, ainsi que les dossiers de modèles d'utilité et de marques, une grande partie ont été victimes des effets de la guerre dans les derniers mois de la guerre. Presque tous les dossiers de marques (environ 520.000), les documents sur les marques déposées internationalement protégées en Allemagne, presque tous les dossiers de modèles d'utilité (environ 160.000) et de nombreux dossiers administratifs ont été détruits par des bombes. En particulier, les dossiers de l'administration du personnel ont été complètement détruits. Surtout, les rôles de brevet, de modèle d'utilité et de marque ont été conservés. Après leur invasion de Berlin le 27 mai 1945, les troupes soviétiques ont confisqué et partiellement retiré les demandes de brevet en appel (environ 2 787), les dossiers de brevets délivrés pour lesquels aucune spécification de brevet imprimée n'était encore disponible (environ 150 000), une collection de spécifications de brevets allemands (environ 14 000 volumes), des parties des collections de la bibliothèque sur des problèmes techniques importants, tous les mémoires et une partie des fichiers administratifs. Les quelque 150 000 demandes de brevet qui n'avaient pas encore été traitées étaient apparemment considérées comme sans importance, car seules des copies de celles-ci pouvaient être trouvées ; les originaux avaient été brûlés au Striegau. Les documents non saisis par l'URSS sont restés au Bureau de Berlin, y compris les dossiers administratifs sur les affaires juridiques, les conseils en brevets, les affaires budgétaires et les affaires en espèces, et ont ensuite été remis au Bureau de Berlin de l'Office allemand des brevets. L'Office des brevets du Reich avait déjà soumis au Reichsarchiv de Brauhausberg à Potsdam des documents qui n'étaient plus nécessaires dans le cadre de ses activités. Ces documents ont été détruits en avril 1945, lorsque le Reichsarchiv a brûlé après le bombardement. Après l'invasion de Berlin par les Alliés occidentaux, le bureau de l'Office des brevets du Reich s'est retrouvé dans le secteur de la ville occupé par les Etats-Unis. L'organisation américaine "Organization Field Information Agency Technical" (FIAT) a produit des microfilms de ses documents non détruits, en particulier des demandes de brevet, qui ont été apportés aux États-Unis. Le "British Intelligence Objective Sub-Committee" (BIOS) a compilé des extraits des dossiers de brevets qui ont été mis à la disposition du public en 22 volumes. Dans le puits de Heringen, le personnel de SD avait détruit d'importants brevets et dossiers secrets (95 %) ainsi que des dossiers personnels avant l'occupation par les troupes américaines. Une grande partie des documents qui s'y trouvaient encore, y compris certaines des demandes secrètes non encore traitées et le registre secret des brevets, ainsi que les dossiers saisis à Lichtenfels et à Bayerisch-Eisenstein, ont été transportés aux États-Unis, notamment au dépôt de dossiers de l'armée américaine à Alexandrie près de Washington. En juillet 1945, le Bureau des brevets reçut l'autorisation de reprendre ses activités. Avec le soutien du gouvernement de Kassel, il a été transféré à l'Institut géologique de l'Université de Marburg en tant qu'Office pour la recherche pédologique. Ses dossiers étaient stockés dans la fosse de Beilstein près d'Oberscheld. En janvier 1946, les documents nécessaires aux travaux dans la Grande Hesse sont séparés de ceux relatifs aux territoires occupés par l'Union soviétique. C'est ainsi que les documents pertinents pour les provinces du Schleswig-Holstein, de Hanovre, d'Oldenburg, de Braunschweig, de Westphalie, de Rhénanie et d'Allemagne du Sud sont arrivés à Beilstein. Les Etats-Unis ont remis la bibliothèque de l'Office des brevets du Reich à l'Office allemand des brevets, nouvellement ouvert à Munich en 1949, avec un volume d'environ 350.000 volumes ainsi que des photocopies des dossiers confisqués. Les documents de l'Office des brevets du Reich qui ont été transférés aux États-Unis ont été restitués à la République fédérale d'Allemagne dans les années 1950 et 1960. La plupart des documents ont été envoyés directement à l'Office allemand des brevets à Munich, y compris les dossiers du personnel sauvés de la destruction dans le puits de Heringen. L'ancienne succursale de l'Office des brevets du Reich à Berlin a officiellement repris ses activités au début des années 1950. Cet office fiduciaire de l'Office des brevets du Reich - Office d'information sur les droits de propriété intellectuelle a été repris en 1968 en tant qu'office berlinois de l'Office allemand des brevets. Les dossiers de l'Office des brevets du Reich appartenant au groupe d'archives 1016 à Alexandrie (112 boîtes) ont été retournés aux Archives fédérales en 1959, qui les ont transférés la même année à Munich. Parmi les éléments de la tradition de l'Office des brevets du Reich conservés par l'Union soviétique figurent 132 dossiers qui ont été transférés du Département secret du Ministère de l'agriculture de l'URSS vers les "Archives spéciales" dans les années 60. Ces fichiers, qui concernent exclusivement le domaine de l'agriculture, couvrent la période 1935-1942 et sont indexés dans un index en langue russe. Ils se trouvent encore aujourd'hui dans les archives destinées au stockage des "dossiers de butin", qui sont aujourd'hui subordonnées aux Archives militaires centrales de l'État russe (voir www.sonderarchiv.de). Documents généraux Les documents généraux de l'Office des brevets du Reich ont été transférés directement des Alliés occidentaux à l'Office allemand des brevets. En 1972, elle a remis le bureau berlinois de l'Office des brevets aux Archives fédérales (accès n° I 77/72). Jusqu'à la fin de la guerre, toutes les demandes de brevet n'ont pas pu être traitées par l'Office des brevets du Reich. Les dossiers de brevets des cas dans lesquels aucun brevet ne pouvait plus être délivré en raison des événements de guerre des années 1944-1945 et qui n'avaient pas été annoncés ont été confisqués entre 1945 et 1947 avec d'autres documents techniques et scientifiques d'abord militaires, puis civils "équipes d'enquête" des Anglais et des Américains. L'intérêt de l'industrie britannique et américaine pour les procédés de fabrication de l'économie de guerre allemande a été déterminant dans le choix du matériau. Sur la base de ces fichiers, des experts des deux parties ont rédigé des rapports de recherche, appelés "Rapports", sur des entreprises individuelles ou des divisions de production, ainsi que de courtes descriptions DeepL, appelées "Résumés", et les ont mis à la disposition du public. La Grande-Bretagne a publié les "British Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee Overall Reports" (BIOS) et les États-Unis la série "Field Information Agency Technical US Group, Control Council for Germany" (FIAT). En outre, la série "Combined Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee" (CIOS) a été publiée conjointement. Les publications ont attiré l'attention du public à l'époque. Le soi-disant Rapport Harmsen critiquait l'"exploitation" des brevets allemands par les Etats-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne. Du côté britannique, la "Division allemande" de la "Technical Information and Document Unit" (TIDU) du "Ministry of Economic Warfare" était initialement responsable de cette action. En 1946, la TIDU a été placée sous la tutelle de la Chambre de commerce. En 1951, ce centre d'information et de documentation fait partie de l'unité opérationnelle du Département de la recherche scientifique et industrielle (DSIR). Lors de la dissolution de la TIDU en 1957, la garde des dossiers allemands a été transférée à la "Lending Library Unit" du DSIR. Faute d'espace, elle a été transférée à Boston Spa, Yorkshire, en 1961-62 sous le nom de National Lending Library for Science and Technology. Les originaux des dossiers de brevets allemands évalués par les Britanniques se trouvent encore aujourd'hui à Boston Spa. Au début des années 1950, l'Office allemand des brevets à Munich a acquis des microfilms de ces dossiers. Les Archives fédérales ont copié ces 1 000 rouleaux de microfilm sur des films de sécurité entre 1969 et 1974. En 1972, l'Office allemand des brevets de Munich a remis sept dossiers de brevets individuels aux Archives fédérales. En 1975, 243 " dossiers de délivrance " de l'Office des brevets du Reich ont été rassemblés au bureau de Berlin de l'Office allemand des brevets avec l'autorisation des Archives fédérales. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, plusieurs cartons contenant des documents de demande de brevet ont été envoyés en RDA, vraisemblablement aux Archives centrales de l'État de la RDA (ZStA) à Potsdam, où ils n'ont probablement pas été traités plus avant, c'est-à-dire également non indexés. En l'absence d'une documentation appropriée, l'heure à laquelle ces documents sont arrivés en Allemagne ne peut être déterminée plus précisément. Après tout, les notes en langue russe sur certains documents suggèrent que ces documents ont été confisqués par les troupes d'occupation soviétique en 1945 et examinés par des experts, probablement aussi évalués. Il n'a malheureusement pas été possible non plus de déterminer s'ils étaient retournés en Allemagne lors de la restitution des dossiers par les Soviétiques dans les années 1950 ou à un autre moment. Après l'intégration des archives centrales de la RDA dans les Archives fédérales en 1990, ces documents ont été transférés dans la nouvelle section des archives Hoppegarten. Ils y sont restés en grande partie inaperçus jusqu'en 2010, date à laquelle les archives ont effectué des travaux de nettoyage. Dossiers de représailles En avril 1973, une petite tradition de dossiers de représailles (environ 420 AU) a été transférée aux Archives fédérales par une taxe (accès I 26/73) de l'Office allemand des brevets à Berlin en avril 1973. Dossiers du personnel En 1980, l'Office allemand des brevets a transféré les dossiers du personnel de son bureau de Munich aux fonctionnaires de l'Office des brevets du Reich qui étaient encore employés après la guerre. Les dossiers entreposés à Munich ont été, à quelques exceptions près, en grande partie brûlés ou complètement brûlés par le feu à la fin de la guerre. La même année 1980, l'Office de Munich a également remis "les dossiers personnels de diverses autorités et tribunaux concernant des personnes dont l'affiliation à l'ancien Office impérial des brevets/Reichspatentamt ne pouvait être établie". En 1980, l'Office allemand des brevets a remis dans treize boîtes 859 dossiers personnels de membres de l'Office impérial et de l'Office des brevets du Reich de son bureau de Berlin. En 1980, le ministère fédéral de la Justice (BMJ), en tant qu'office supérieur de l'Office fédéral des brevets, a ensuite remis un autre service d'archives (R 131/2720). A partir des dossiers ayant une valeur archivistique, le fonds partiel "R 131 - Personalakten" a été constitué aux Archives fédérales (signatures : R 131/1698-2720). En 1981, le BMJ a remis 29 autres dossiers du personnel de l'Office des brevets du Reich, qui étaient joints à l'inventaire (R 131/2730-2758). En 1995, 94 dossiers personnels d'agents en brevets juifs (R 131/2760-2853) ont été transférés aux Archives fédérales par l'Office allemand des brevets de Munich. En mars 2004, l'Office fédéral des brevets a remis aux Archives fédérales six boîtes contenant 325 dossiers personnels de conseils en brevets. En avril de la même année, 194 autres dossiers suivirent, dont trois autres en juillet. Les livraisons ultérieures ne sont pas documentées en détail, pas plus qu'il n'existe d'autres listes de livraisons ou de noms. Au total, il y a environ 19 mètres courants (38 grandes caisses mobiles). Du fonds 30.12 (Reichsjustizprüfungsamt) des Archives centrales de la RDA à Potsdam, 0,57 lfm (3 boîtes d'archives) avec des fragments de dossiers personnels ont été transférés au fonds (anciennes signatures : 30.12/2296-2895). Ces documents ne sont toujours pas traités, de même que 0,14 mètre courant (une boîte d'archives) de fragments de documents personnels d'origine inconnue. Évaluation et traitement des archives Les documents de l'Office des brevets du Reich constituent les fonds R 131 des Archives fédérales, dont les différentes parties ont fait l'objet d'instruments de recherche indépendants dans les années 1980 : R 131 - Dossiers généraux R 131 - Dossiers de rétorsion R 131 - Dossiers de demande de brevet R 131 - Dossiers personnels Au cours des années suivantes, d'autres dossiers de personnel et de demandes de brevet ont été ajoutés. Il n'existe pas de documents d'organisation et de plans de classement de l'Office des brevets du Reich. Seul un plan de classement de 1935/36 (voir R 131/446) a pu être déterminé, qui a été divisé en groupes principaux et sous-groupes selon le plan de classement général du ministère de la Justice du Reich, mais qui n'est apparemment jamais entré en vigueur. L'absence de plans de classement ou d'autres éléments d'information sur la tenue du registre à l'Office des brevets du Reich, d'une part, et l'existence de nombreux dossiers sans numéro de dossier, d'autre part, ne permettent pas de se prononcer définitivement sur l'administration des documents par l'autorité et une classification totalement inductive. Lois générales L'administration des dossiers relevait de la responsabilité des différents registres de l'Office des brevets du Reich. On peut supposer que ceux-ci tenaient - selon le modèle du système judiciaire - des registres de dossiers généraux dans lesquels les dossiers généraux qui s'y trouvaient étaient inscrits et sur la base desquels de nouveaux numéros de dossier étaient attribués pour les nouveaux dossiers. On peut également supposer qu'un registre "complet" du dossier général a été tenu dans l'un des registres ou dans l'une des unités organisationnelles de la Chambre. L'attribution des numéros de dossier a apparemment été effectuée en fonction des domaines d'intervention, identifiés par des chiffres romains, par exemple "gen. "I" en matière de brevets. Au niveau des dossiers, des chiffres arabes ont été attribués, par exemple "gen. I, 1". Dans certains cas, le dossier a été subdivisé en ajoutant des lettres minuscules au numéro de base, par exemple "gen. III, 4 - caractères""gen. III, 4 a - sonnerie""gen. III, 4 b - Marque verbale''gen. III, 4 c - armoiries". De nombreux documents généraux sont pré-cousus Rotuli, dans lesquels les documents sont prouvés par la procédure. Conformément au modèle classique, l'Office des brevets du Reich a également créé des dossiers Specialia et Adhibenda dérivés des dossiers généraux : Le marquage a été fait par les abréviations bien connues "spec." et "adh. La structuration du matériel de fichier en ces catégories de fichiers semble avoir été effectuée de façon presque logique, au sens littéral du terme. Dorothe Günthner et Johannes Ganser ont édité les Actes généraux pour la première fois dans les années 1984-1985. Lors de l'enregistrement des dossiers, non seulement tous les numéros de dossier ont été enregistrés, mais aussi les références aux numéros de dossier connexes joints aux couvertures des dossiers, mais seulement dans la mesure où ces derniers ont été transmis aux Archives fédérales. Le fait que les documents de l'Office des brevets du Reich, y compris ceux des lois générales, n'ont été que partiellement archivés dans les Archives fédérales est clairement visible dans la classification. La classification de l'inventaire pourrait être effectuée selon le regroupement des dossiers par domaines d'activité (chiffres romains) et par numéros de dossier (chiffres arabes) par ordre numérique croissant par l'Office des brevets du Reich, à l'exception des dossiers des conseils en brevets transmis sans numéros de dossier, qui ont été ajoutés comme Groupe VI. Le classement général est le suivant : I Brevets II Dessins et modèles d'utilité III Marques III Marques IV Affaires du siège social/département présidentiel V Propriété intellectuelle à l'étranger VI Conseils en brevets VI. La classification des groupes I-III et V a été facile pour la majorité des dossiers selon cette grille grâce aux numéros de dossier donnés. Les dossiers des groupes I à III sans numéro de dossier pourraient relativement facilement être classés en fonction de leur contexte factuel. Une classification plus détaillée ne semblait pas nécessaire. Dans les groupes I à III, les numéros de dossier avaient probablement été attribués à l'origine de telle sorte qu'ils correspondaient aux sections respectives des lois sur les brevets, les dessins et modèles et les marques. Pour les dossiers qui n'étaient pas directement liés à des paragraphes législatifs, les numéros de dossier semblent avoir été attribués dans l'ordre numérique séquentiel. Le groupe IV se distingue des autres groupes par le fait qu'il s'agit du compte rendu écrit de l'ensemble des activités du bureau principal ou du département présidentiel : Réglementation relative au traitement des dispositions du droit des brevets, des modèles d'utilité et des dessins et modèles ainsi que du droit des marques, d'une part, et des réglementations relatives à l'exploitation des services, au déroulement du trafic commercial et postal, d'autre part. Ici - en raison de la tradition incomplète des dossiers - un ordre de classement similaire à celui des groupes I-III n'est pas reconnaissable. En raison de la tradition incomplète des fonds, d'une part, et de l'absence de numéros de dossier, d'autre part - la plupart du temps, seuls Spezialia ou Adhibenda sont disponibles, alors que les Generalia manquent - la séquence des numéros de dossier a été maintenue pendant la classification, mais contrairement aux groupes I-III et V une classification archivistique a été effectuée, ce qui a nécessité une classification plus détaillée. Les dossiers du groupe V sont classés par l'Office des brevets du Reich selon l'alphabet de l'Etat, les numéros de dossier ont également été attribués ici par ordre numérique croissant. La classification des dossiers par numéro de dossier n'a été interrompue que par le fait que les dossiers concernant les fusions, accords et congrès internationaux, qui se trouvaient au milieu de la série de pays, y ont été retirés et placés à la fin du groupe de dossiers. Etant donné que les noms des différents territoires nationaux ont changé au fil des décennies (cf. par exemple les colonies), un index géographique a été établi pour en faciliter l'utilisation. Les dossiers du groupe VI transmis sans numéro de dossier ont été classés selon des complexes factuels. En 1995, les fonds ont été collectés pour les extraits contenus dans les lois générales et dans les journaux légaux et de publication, ainsi que pour la correspondance dénuée de sens - par exemple lors du transfert des réunions de l'Office des brevets du Reich. L'instrument de recherche, écrit par Dorothe Günthner et Johannes Ganser, a été écrit par Mme Schuster. Ces données d'indexation ont été rétroconverties après 2005 et peuvent maintenant être récupérées dans le système de base de données des Archives fédérales (BASYS) via le système de recherche INVENIO. Les actes rétributifs Dorothe Günthner et Johannes Ganser ont traité la première partie de la tradition en avril 1984. Sur les 376 volumes originaux (environ 1,5 compartiment) de la première partie de la collection, 75 ont été jugés dignes d'être archivés (R 131/10001-10076). En particulier, ces dossiers ont été encaissés qui, pour des raisons purement formelles, traitaient de demandes rejetées en vertu de l'ordonnance sur le traitement des biens hostiles du 15 janvier 1940 (RGBl I p.191). Dans le cas de groupes de dossiers documentant le traitement des demandes d'une certaine société pour l'utilisation de plusieurs droits de brevet détenus par une autre société, un seul volume d'échantillon a été supprimé à la fois, puisqu'un seul volume avait été initialement créé pour chaque brevet. Dans le livre de recherche créé en 1984, le nom du demandeur, le nom du propriétaire du droit de propriété, le terme ainsi que les anciens signes du dossier de représailles ont été rendus accessibles. La dénomination des contenus des droits de propriété intellectuelle individuels a été omise, car ils sont en retard par rapport aux mesures économiques de guerre du Reich allemand dans l'évaluation d'aujourd'hui. La division prédéfinie entre les droits d'exercice accordés et les droits d'exercice non accordés a été conservée. Ces deux groupes étaient à leur tour subdivisés en brevets, modèles d'utilité, marques de commerce, droits d'auteur et brevets dans des territoires individuels constitués en société. Au second semestre 2008, l'inventaire a fait l'objet d'une révision en raison de divergences apparues dans le système de signature. 270 unités d'archives trouvées lors des révisions d'inventaire ont été nouvellement enregistrées (R 131/10077-10346). L'ensemble de la section "Actes rétributifs", qui comprend maintenant un total de 345 AE, a été cartographié et entièrement re-signé. Aucune cassation n'a été faite. Les noms des déposants, des titulaires des droits de propriété industrielle, les termes et les numéros de dossier des brevets de rétorsion ont été enregistrés en conséquence. Les données de distorsion de la première partie de la transmission ont été transférées dans la base de données des Archives fédérales (BASYS) par rétroconversion. L'intégration des documents nouvellement ajoutés a permis de conserver le système de classification existant. Le livre de recherche maintenant disponible, édité par Karl-Heinz Eggert et Sabine Dumschat, peut également être consulté en ligne. Dépôts de demandes de brevets Des demandes de brevets et de modèles d'utilité ont été attribuées à certaines classes au sein de l'Office des brevets du Reich. Pour ce faire, une classification par classe de brevet a été établie, divisée en domaines spéciaux commerciaux et industriels. Il a servi de base au traitement des demandes. Le principe le plus important pour déterminer la classe à laquelle appartient une demande est son affectation au domaine spécial dans lequel l'invention est située. Pour déterminer l'invention, l'examinateur devait se référer à tous les documents soumis, c'est-à-dire la description, le dessin, les revendications. S'il y avait plusieurs domaines spéciaux, la décision était prise sur la classe la plus importante. En 1984, Johannes Ganser a produit un livre d'instruments de recherche sur les microfilms de ces dossiers qui sont encore sous la garde britannique à la "National Lending Library for Science and Technology" de Boston Spa, qui est disponible pour la recherche dans la salle des utilisateurs des Archives fédérales. La structure de l'inventaire partiel repose sur la division par classe de brevets pratiquée à l'Office des brevets du Reich. Cependant, ce n'était pas la norme de classification décisive pour les Britanniques lorsqu'ils ont filmé les dossiers. Les demandes pour une certaine classe peuvent donc être trouvées sur plusieurs films ; inversement, des documents pour plusieurs classes de brevets peuvent être attendus sur chaque film. L'utilisation des films doit donc d'abord être basée sur le domaine spécial en question selon la classification de la classe de brevet. La première concordance dans le livre de l'instrument de recherche indique sur quelles bobines de film des documents sont disponibles pour le domaine correspondant. La 2ème concordance établit le lien entre les signatures de rôle et les signatures de film. Les documents individuels transmis par l'intermédiaire des Archives centrales de l'État de la RDA ont été traités au cours de la période 2011-2012. Au début, ils étaient dans un état désordonné, pour ne pas dire chaotique. On peut supposer que le contexte des processus individuels autrefois cultivés biologiquement est gravement perturbé. Il n'a pas été possible de déterminer les documents d'accompagnement de quelque nature que ce soit. Les documents étaient enveloppés par intermittence dans du papier et noués avec du ruban adhésif pour colis. Ces paquets ont été ouverts, la documentation a été complètement triée. Aucun contexte de transmission, sans parler d'un système de formation de fichiers, n'ayant pu être identifié, on a tenté de remédier à la situation en procédant à un tri alphabétique selon les demandeurs de brevets. Par la suite, 314 unités d'archives ont été formées, nouvellement cartographiées et signées (R 131/10347-10670). Les doubles pièces ont été détruites, mais aucune cassation n'a été faite au-delà. Un dossier (R 131/10502) a été remis aux archives minières du Musée allemand des mines à Bochum. Un "Supplément à la liste des numéros" pour l'année 1933 est désormais disponible à la bibliothèque de service des Archives fédérales (Signature : ZB 24128). Tant la classification du stock que les paramètres de développement sont basés sur le modèle donné dans le cahier de recherche des actes de rétorsion de 1984. Une distinction a été faite entre les demandes de brevets et de modèles d'utilité, les brevets invalides et les aides sous forme de documents documentant l'approbation des offices de brevets étrangers. Une distinction a été faite entre les demandeurs résidant dans le Reich allemand et ceux qui ont tenté de faire valoir leurs droits à l'étranger. Ces dernières comprennent des succursales de groupes allemands à l'étranger. Les données ont été enregistrées en détail lors du développement de chaque site : Noms des sociétés requérantes, des déposants privés ou des titulaires de brevets, mot-clé de la revendication de brevet, c'est-à-dire l'objet du brevet ou la procédure à protéger, le numéro de dossier de l'Office des brevets du Reich, le cas échéant, le numéro de brevet attribué et la durée des dossiers. Le livre de recherche maintenant disponible, édité par Karl-Heinz Eggert et Sabine Dumschat, peut également être consulté en ligne. Dossiers du personnel Sur les dossiers du personnel des fonctionnaires de l'Office des brevets du Reich remis par l'Office allemand des brevets de son office de Munich en 1980, seuls deux ont été considérés comme dignes d'être archivés. Le reste a été collecté. Les fichiers intégrés dans l'inventaire R 131 sont provisoirement indexés par personne (dite "annexe 2"). Tous les "dossiers personnels de diverses autorités et juridictions sur des personnes dont l'affiliation à l'ancien Office impérial des brevets/Reichspatentamt n'a pu être établie" délivrés la même année, 1980, étaient des dossiers préliminaires de l'Office des brevets du Reich après examen approfondi. La majorité des dossiers ont été jugés cassables (personnel de bureau subordonné). Seulement 14 dossiers ont été transférés à l'inventaire : R 131/1737, 1754, 1787, 1804, 1942-1943, 1996, 2609, 2000, 2000 a, 2000 b et 2721-2723 ; ils figurent sur une liste provisoire de personnes (dite "annexe 3"). Avec les 859 dossiers personnels des membres de l'Office impérial et de l'Office des brevets du Reich remis par son bureau de Berlin en 1980 en 13 cartons, l'Office allemand des brevets a également délivré une liste provisoire avec une liste de noms (dite "annexe 4"). Outre les dossiers R 131/2724, 2725 et 2726, ces documents ont été fortement détruits et cassables. Toutefois, en plus des "dossiers personnels ou parties de dossiers personnels sur les membres de l'ancien Office impérial des brevets et de l'Office des brevets du Reich situés au bureau de Berlin de l'Office allemand des brevets", il existe une deuxième liste, malheureusement non datée, avec 875 articles individuels, qui ne correspond pas à celle mentionnée ci-dessus. Une clarification claire ne peut résulter que du développement de tous les dossiers du personnel qui ne sont pas encore enregistrés dans BASYS et dignes d'être archivés. A partir des dossiers restants après l'évaluation, le fonds partiel "R 131 - Personalakten" a été constitué aux Archives fédérales (signatures : R 131/1698-2720). En 1981, les 29 dossiers personnels de l'Office des brevets du Reich délivrés par le ministère fédéral de la Justice ont été ajoutés, auxquels s'ajoute une liste provisoire (R 131/2730-2758). Une liste nominative existe également pour les 94 dossiers personnels des conseils en brevets juifs déposés par l'Office allemand des brevets en 1995 (R 131/2760-2853). Sur les dossiers du personnel déposés par l'Office allemand des brevets en 2004, en particulier par les conseils en brevets, seuls 519 ont été répertoriés par nom à ce jour. L'évaluation des 38 grands cartons mobiles de livraisons complètes n'a pas encore été réalisée. De même, les fragments de dossiers personnels extraits des fonds 30.12 (Reichsjustizprüfungsamt) des Archives centrales de la RDA à Potsdam ainsi que les 0,14 mètres linéaires supplémentaires (un carton d'archives) de documents personnels d'origine inconnue doivent encore être traités. Caractérisation du contenu : Caractérisation du contenu des dossiers généraux La collection de dossiers généraux donne un aperçu des activités de l'Office des brevets du Reich, qui peuvent avoir une valeur considérable pour l'histoire de la technologie et le développement du système juridique, en particulier la protection de la propriété industrielle en Allemagne. Il convient de noter en particulier la vaste collection de lois et d'ordonnances sur la protection de la propriété industrielle à l'étranger et les dossiers issus de la coopération de l'Office des brevets du Reich avec l'Union internationale pour la protection de la propriété industrielle. Cette coopération avait également pour but de coordonner les accords internationaux avec les lois allemandes dans ce domaine. Après 1945, l'Office des brevets du Reich avait continué à travailler partiellement, ce qui explique la poursuite de certains dossiers jusqu'en 1951. Tradition : (1877-1918) 1919-1945 (1946-1951) (1.171 AE) : Brevets 1877-1949 (187), modèles d'utilité et dessins et modèles 1877-1945 (24), Warenzei‧chen 1894-1945 (65), classe de brevet 1882-1944 (9), réunions et décisions départementales des membres 1877-1945 (30), services postaux et de télécommunications, offices 1879-1946 (28), Acceptation et enregistrement 1877-1945 (21), publications 1878-1949 (47), juridiction civile et information juridique 1879-1944 (13), opérations officielles, gestion des dossiers et ordres présidentiels 1877-1948 (76), mesures de guerre dans le domaine de la protection juridique 1914-1948 (49) ge‧werblichen Coopération avec Ingenieur- et Erfinder‧verbänden 1911-1951 (11), droits de propriété industrielle à l'étranger 1878-1944 (13), ein‧zel‧ne Pays 1877-1944 (425), associations, accords et congrès internationaux 1878-1944 (57), Loi sur les conseils en brevets, Chambre des conseils en brevets 1933-1949 (5), enregistrement et annulation en tant que conseil en brevets 1900-1948 (34), formation et examen, pratique et juridiction honoraire 1900-1950 (41), système des conseils en brevets à l'étranger 1894-1949 (36) instruments de recherche : Findbuch (1984) et BASYS/INVENIO Research Retribution Acts Les dossiers qui sont entrés aux Archives fédérales en 1973 documentent le traitement des demandes d'octroi de droits d'exercice par des sociétés individuelles conformément à l'ordonnance sur les droits de propriété industrielle des ressortissants britanniques du 26 janvier 1993. The Regulation on Copyright of British Nationals of 1 July 1940 (RGBl I p. 947) and the Regulation on Industrial Property Rights and Copyrights of Members of the United States of America of 22 December 1942 (RGBl I p. 737). Les actes de rétorsion considérés comme ayant une valeur archivistique ont donc une certaine valeur informative sur les relations de l'Allemagne avec les États-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne, quoique limitée à la protection de la propriété industrielle pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. En outre, on peut voir dans quels domaines les inventions étaient considérées comme importantes pour la guerre et nécessaires à la sauvegarde des intérêts généraux. Les documents qui ont été développés au cours des années 2008-2010 concernent principalement les brevets du Reich allemand, les droits d'auteur pour les œuvres artistiques, les marques allemandes et les marques autrichiennes. Tradition : 1940-1945 (345 AE) : Droits d'exercice accordés : Brevets allemands du Reich 1940-1945 (4), demandes de brevets 1941 (1), brevets autrichiens 1940-1944 (1), brevets Protectorat de Bohême et de Moravie 1940-1945 (2), modèles d'utilité allemands 1940-1941 (1), marques allemandes 1940-1942 (2), marques déposées 1941-1942 (1), droits d'auteur sur les œuvres artistiques 1941-1945 (7), droits d'exercice non accordés : Brevets du Reich allemand 1940-1945 (175), demandes de brevets 1940-1944 (14), modèles d'utilité allemands 1940-1941 (1), marques allemandes 1940-1945 (44), marques autrichiennes 1940-1945 (19), droits d'auteur sur les œuvres artistiques 1940-1945 (73) instruments de recherche : Demandes de brevet en ligne Findbuch a) Sur les microfilms de ces documents, dont les originaux se trouvent encore aujourd'hui dans la "National Lending Library for Science and Technology" à Boston Spa, les demandes de brevet individuelles avec les explications correspondantes se trouvent en ligne. Ils couvrent la période 1941-1945 et le traitement des notes ou des lettres de l'Office des brevets du Reich est rarement disponible. Seules les références à des documents imprimés pris en considération aux fins de délimiter l'objet de la demande apparaissent de temps à autre. Ces documents proviennent de procédures qui n'ont pu être achevées en raison de la guerre, pour lesquelles aucun brevet n'a plus été délivré. Ils donnent néanmoins un aperçu des efforts et des réalisations des inventeurs et des entreprises allemands à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. On peut voir en partie quels secteurs commerciaux et industriels ont dû être suspendus en raison des problèmes causés par la guerre. La valeur technico-historique des documents ne doit pas être insignifiante. Tradition : dossiers de demande de brevet 1941-1945 (999 microfilms) instruments de recherche : instruments de recherche (1984) b) Les documents transmis par l'intermédiaire des Archives centrales de la RDA concernent principalement des inventions liées à l'industrie minière. Il s'agit de processus individuels ayant une structure uniforme, mais qui ont généralement perdu les annexes qui devaient être utilisées pour délivrer les brevets. Certaines de ces annexes sont probablement les documents en langue étrangère énumérés comme "aides". Comme l'ordre d'enregistrement de cette partie de la livraison a été complètement détruit et que les documents restants portent trop peu de notes commerciales, il n'a malheureusement pas été possible de reconstituer les procédures originales.

During the 18th century, the archive and registry of the Lippe government, which had been in one hand for centuries, were so confused that it was necessary to remedy the situation in order to rationalise the administrative work. A more precise definition and delimitation of the terms "registry" and "archive" can be omited here, especially since it had long since been carried out and oriented itself to the terms "current" and "legally effective". The attempt of 1749 to achieve a continuous order of the registry by means of a repertory alphabeticum was not particularly successful, for already in 1771 the walking secretary Clausing complained that the old order was completely obsolete by handing it over to the archive (with the appointment of the Archivrat Knoch the reorganization of the Lippic archive was initiated) and by omitting all supplements, and that the registry was practically without order (D 79 [Alte Findbücher] No. 193 Einleitung). Clausing now handed over a large part of the older files to the archive and tried to place the currents in an order schema that was based on things and storage possibilities. In his systematic structuring, Clausing referred to Pütter's model, which he gives in his Guide to Legal Practice (Pütter, Anleitung zur juristischen Praxis 1. Teil § 479 ff S. 278 ff). The order in 181 compartments was adapted to the external conditions of the registry room. This order layer is noticeable in the present inventory in some files dating back to the 40s of the 18th century, on which the old specialist signatures are also noted. External circumstances - the relocation of the government registration office - and insufficient systematic sharpness made a complete reorganization necessary in 1813. The Registrator Scherf - later Legation Councillor in Frankfurt - suggested in this year to make a new division. In the sense of his time, it was still very important to him that the storage and signature corresponded. In his proposals to Princess Pauline zur Lippe he also mentions that from the registration layer of 1771 a part of the files had already been returned to the archive, but a much larger part lay around unlisted. In addition to the reintroduction of file stitching and the purchase of file covers, Scherf's concern is the new system, which he also succeeds in applying to his part of the government registry. For already half a year later he reports on the first success of his work and presents the first two repertories (D 79 [Alte Findbücher] Nr. 194 und 5). They contained the following groups, Part One: I. Offices and Cities Subject 1-77 II. Authorities, commissions and cashiers Fach 78 - 103 III. Appendix Fach 104 - 108 The 2nd part contained in the subjects 109 - 231 beside the landscape matters mainly general police matters, but also foreign affairs and customs as well as tax matters. In addition to the new system, Scherf had faced the problem of finally separating the registry from the law firm's registry and of respecting the special registries of the feudal registry (now inventory L 6) and military cases (L 77 C ), as well as those of the fire police and road-building cases, as these had been handled by other registrars. Scherfs' goal, but also that of his successor Ulrich, was the introduction of a central registry, which was only partially enforceable. In terms of systematics, Scherf followed the order of his predecessor Clausing. He stressed that in the police administration he had separated the individual items more sharply, but often the storage was more important to him than the system. He had intended, but not achieved, to set up his own foreign policy department. His internal structure of the individual subjects is still recognizable despite all the supplements: the General Acts are followed by the Special Acts. The recording of the government military registry, which remained separate, was begun by Scherf in 1815 and completed in 1825 (D 79 [Alte Findbücher] No. 4). Scherf's successor Ulrich, who supervised the registry for decades, produced the third "Supplement" subvolume of the government registry until 1822, in which he summarized the previously separate registries of the fire police and the road construction and troop catering items (D 79 [Alte Findbücher] Nr. 6). In the case of this conglomerate, it is no longer possible to speak of an overall system in the registry. While part 1 still shows a system, part 2 is already a sequence of groups - completely disjointed a subarea: foreign -, part 3 is now only a supplement of remaining groups. In addition Ulrich made repertories of the printed matter (D 79 [Alte Findbücher] No. 33) as well as of the cracks and maps (cf. L 77 A No. 1542). The following decades in the development of the government registry are characterized by continuation, expansion and thus space shortage and cassation problems. From 1832 onwards, the number of applications from the registry to the government to collect files increased. In most cases, the opinion of the departmental councils is obtained before consent to the cassation is given. First invoice documents, forms and manual files are destroyed, but then more and more individual files. 1842 is the first time again of a delivery to the archive the speech (Abschoßsachen). But occasionally there are also rejections of a cassation: in 1846 the government considers the military reports from 1807-1816 "still of interest" (L 77 A No. 1567). Then, in 1849, larger cassations are made, which one can understand today at least by the title of the file, e.g. in the case of some files a ban on talking about political objects, 1812, one thinks a little differently today. For the first time, however, the expert opinion of the archive on the cassation proposals of the registrar Ulrich is also requested. Falkmann's principles on cassation, which will remain decisive for the following decades, are based on the "practical value" of the files. In Falkmann's view, the files that had to be preserved were those that dealt with general and lasting legal relationships. Those that related to special incidents and personalities could be destroyed (ibid. 1849 June 14). At first it was not the archivist but Oberregierungsrat v. Meien who spoke of the historical value of the files, when for this reason he rejected the destruction of the special reports of the Legationsrat v. Scherf from Frankfurt. Around this time, more and more printed matter was handed over to the library and files were handed over to the Land Cadastral Commission and the lending bank. The registry dispute with the registry of the newly formed Cabinet Ministry proceeded without much difficulty, as the government files initially used in the Ministry were either returned or continued, so that they became a genuine part of the new registry. The loss of importance of the acts of government after 1853 is not as significant as it would be if a central authority were formed. The actual administrative work was carried out at the level of the government. Only in a few areas did the Cabinet Minister have exclusive competence. After 1850, individual cassations became rarer. 1856 the files are handed over to the archive because of Lippstadt and Schaumburg-Lippe. Here Falkmann has now also recognized the presumptive historical interest as decisive for the permanent preservation of the individual files (L 79 I 20 No. 4 [now L 79 No. 40]). The government registry in its older parts became more and more ready for archiving, but it was not until 1894 that the registry produced a list of the historically valuable files. On 06.11.1899 Archivrat Kiewning then took over the reduced government files of the first 279 subjects, as it was said, only the files until 1830, into the princely Haus- und Landesarchiv. The files were "repertorized" by Kiewning in the following two years and in 1901 the government was informed of the completion of the indexing - the completion of two extensive repertories - (these handwritten finding aids of Kiewning are preserved, now D 79 [Old finding aids] No. 1 and 2). On 21.10.1901 the reduced files of the remaining subjects followed, which Kiewning recorded until 1904 (D 79 [Old finding aids] No. 3). The rest of these reduced files of the government registration of 1813 must have reached the archives in 1911/1912 (cf. D 29 J, special annual report 1912) and in the following years they were combined with the older levies in terms of storage and records. They were made available for use in the three typewritten repertory volumes. The treatment of the present stock or better the present registry layer in the archive is characterized by as little change as possible in the pre-archival order. In 1900-1904 Kiewning recorded the files which had been handed over to him in the preserved registry order by leaving the old order schema unchanged, not changing the signatures, changing the file titles only slightly - there were largely no formulations such as "Acta concerning" - and completing the running times. Larger cassations were also no longer carried out. The amount of work, apart from the handwritten work, was therefore very low. The stock contains a problem that Kiewning should already have noticed, which often caused trouble for later users of the stock and still leads to considerations now. This is the problem of the temporal delimitation of the stock both before 1813 and in relation to the new registry layer formed in 1919-1912. The historical development of the registry makes it clear that in 1813 a large number of files from the repertory of 1771 were still in existence (often dating back to 1749, the date of the predecessor mentioned), which had to be taken over for both factual and traditional reasons and were only partially continued. However, a large part of the files from the period 1771-1812 reached the archive, but only a very small part of them was integrated into the Bone archive system and is therefore hardly accessible to this day. It has therefore been considered to remove all files completed before 1813 from the inventory L 77, to incorporate them into the bones "Pertinence" inventories and then to make them more accessible. Apart from the large amount of work involved, however, the fact that the Bone holdings do not require a file management system, as is usually the case in the preserved files, speaks against this puristic separation of the registry layers, which had to lead to the fact that grown file connections had to be dissolved. Conversely, an integration of the files from the period 1771-1812, as far as they have not yet been incorporated by Knoch or his successors, would be conceivable. It would probably be important, however, that also the bones stocks would be newly registered and developed, then the factual questions can be answered more easily, even if the transitions between the registry layers are still fluid. Similarly annoying is the demarcation of the inventory from the younger strata of the government registry. The reorganisation of the registry in 1910/1912 probably set the time around 1878 as the average year, but overlaps in both registry layers are self-evident and unavoidable. A remedy of this grievance can only be achieved by a repertory unification of all strata of the government registry since 1813, a long-term goal that must be kept in mind when redrawing all government holdings (L 77, L 79 and L 80). The new indexing was carried out according to the usual rules for the recording of titles, whereby, in contrast to the time around the turn of the century, numerous changes to the file titles were now necessary. Either the old registry titles did not correspond to the content or they were incomprehensible or used a stronger concretization. There have also been occasional changes in terms of maturities, as transcripts of older transactions have either been newly recorded or marked as such, shortening the often very distant maturities of files. A similar procedure was followed for the clarification of subsequent files, so that some overlaps between the registry layers only proved to be fictitious. It was not possible to increase the number of files opened up, especially for personnel-related collective files. Such a work must be reserved for special directories, just as the old directories "property sales" still have their validity and make a better use of these series possible. With the reclassification, the basic concept of the first two parts of Scherfs' systematics was retained, but the third part, which was not in the central registry in 1813 for organisational reasons only, had to finally be included in the systematics. It would have been desirable to include the military registry as well, but since the own inventory signature exerts a constraint, the interlocking with the military supply files (Section F [VERA classification: 6.]) can only take place once all government files have been listed. The files of the Lehnkammer (L 6), which was also separate in 1813, will hardly ever be included in a complete index, since they do not know the registry layers of 1813/1878/1912. Despite all adversities, an attempt was made to find a system adapted to the holdings - the registry layer - without anticipating the complete index of all government files from 1813-1947, as this will probably have to be based on the structure of the most recent holdings.

The BORCKEschen possessions in the right Rhine part of the duchy of KLEVE consisted of the 4 knight's seats HUETH, ROSAU, OFFENBERG and WENGE together with the subductors BIENEN and PRAEST-DORNICK. The Chamber President and Privy Council, the later Minister of the Budget, Friedrich Wilhelm v. BORCKE, had acquired the houses HUETH and ROSAU from the WYLICH-LOTTUM bankruptcy in 1736 and the RECKEschen Herrschaften OFFENBERG-PRAEST-DORNICK in 1744/45. Since the archives of the previous owners were taken over in whole or in part, the collection consists of 3 main groups: The RECKEsche Archives (I and II), a part of the WYLICH-LOTTUMsche Archives (III and IV) and the BORCKEsche Archives (IV and V) I and II. The Rhenish possessions of the family v.d. RECKE came mainly from the family v. WYLICH zu WENGE, which had died out in 1636 in the male tribe. The heirs were the sister of the last v. W. GERBERGA ( 1637) and her sons 2. Ehe KONRAD und DIETRICH v.d. RECKE. The property included the houses WENGE (at DORNICK) and NEUENHOFEN (in KREFELD-BOCKUM) as well as estates and pastures in the county of 's HEERENBERG. KONRAD v.d. RECKE, later president of the chamber in KLEVE, received these maternal estates during the division. In the year 1670 he acquired the noble house OFFENBERG in exchange for the WYLICHsche house to EMMERICH and pushed through 1677 that this was detached from the rule BIENEN and raised with a part of the peasantry BERGE to the sub rule. In 1678 he also received jurisdiction over PRAEST and DORNICK. The archive accordingly consists of the archive of the family v. WYLICH (I) and the extensive estate of the KONRAD v.d. RECKE ( 1713) (II). The WYLICH Archive also contains the archives of the families NEUENHOFEN-OSSENBROICH (referred to as NEUENHOFEN in the documents section), WISSEL, LOWENBERG and GOHR. III The WYLICH-LOTTUM archive was probably divided after the death of Field Marshal KARL PHILIPP v. W. in 1719, since almost all files are missing here about the house GRONDSTEIN, which was passed on to the 2nd son, and there are also gaps in the holdings of documents. But the valuable official acts of GODART, CHRISTOFFEL, OTTO and CHRISTOFFEL, of which the 3 first officials were in GENNEP (1455-1546), the last two held the office of HETTER (1542-1590), remained on HUETH (now KLEVE-MARK XI d GENNEP and HETTER); furthermore also the estates of Baron JOHANN SIGISMUND ( 1677) with the files of the office HEMERS (now KLEVE-MARK XI d) and of the Field Marshal General KARL PHILIPP. 38 documents which had been alienated from the holdings either in 1719 or during the sale of the estate in 1736 were transferred from the Geh. Staatsarchiv in 1862. They have now been reunited with the stock, having previously formed their own stock of GRONDSTEIN dominion. The properties of the family in the HETTER may come in part from the families HEKEREN and LOEL. In 1645 the house HUETH with BIENEN, BERGE and ANROP was elevated to sub rule. The dominion of GRIBBENVORST-LOTTUM, which originated from the estate of ALEID v. BARSD0NK ( after 1420), had to be asserted in a year-long process with v. MARWICK. GRONDSTEIN came into the possession of OTTO v.WYLICH (married to ELISABETH v. GRONDSTEIN) by inheritance in 1535. (Cf. the old find book: Herrschaft GRONDSTEIN; now file no. 1401) The dominion WEHL was purchased in 1671 and the house ROSAU in 1690 (see also Dep Wylich-Lottum). The files of the HUETH Lehnhof were combined into a special group, since a divorce of the WYLICHschen and BORCKEschen parts was not possible here. V. The BORCKE family owned the house HUETH until their extinction in 1872. From the extensive estates of the budget minister FRIEDRICH WILHELM v. B., the Klevische estates and the v. STEDER fiefs had passed to his son, the general commissioner and later Prussian envoy ADRIAN HEINRICH during the division of the estate in 1769. Under his son FRIEDRICH HEINRICH ( 1825), the decay of the family fortune began. The inherited debts, the loss of sovereign rights including the income flowing from them, the poor economic situation of the real estate after the wars of liberation, but especially the unfortunate outcome of an inheritance process with the stepbrother v. VATTEL. Neufchatel 1819 brought the family into a difficult economic situation. After the death of the count it was probably only the steward SONORÈ as well as the guardians who had to be thanked that the possessions did not come under the hammer. When the estate was divided in 1843, the oldest son Count HEINRICH BORCKE acquired the house HUETH, the remaining farms were passed on to the mother and siblings. From his successor, Freiherr v. WITTENHORST- SONSFELD, the Prussian Archive Administration acquired in 1872 the so-called Old Archive (I - IV) and the estates of the Minister FRIEDRICH WILHELM and the envoy ADRIAN HEINRICH v. BORCKE (files E 1 III 48 et seq.). By order of the Archivdirektion of 5 June 1873, the extensive and valuable estates of both BORCKE as well as parts of the estates of KONRAD v.d.RECKE and Generalfeldmarschall v. WYLICH-LOTTUM had to be transferred to the Geheime Staatsarchiv in Berlin. Following the implementation of the principle of origin (provenance principle), the official files of the budget minister were distributed to the state archives of Düsseldorf, Münster and Marburg in 1889, and the RECKEschen and WYLICH files were also returned to the state archives of Düsseldorf (service files A 7 g 1 88 A.V. 1884/33). The BORCKE estates remained in Berlin (cf. the indexes at the end of the Findbuch, for the Klevische Kammerakten at present the holdings BORCKE-HUETH). When the remainder of the HUETH archive was acquired in 1935, the division of 1889 had to be made the basis. Accordingly, the pieces belonging to the estates of the BORCKE family and the files on the Eastern Elbe possessions to Berlin, individual official files were handed over to the state archives of Münster and Marburg (see the indexes at the end of the find book). The administrative records of the 18th and 19th centuries remained in Düsseldorf, as far as they referred to HUETH and the HALBERSTÄDT fiefdoms, as well as the extensive estate of Count FRIEDRICH HEINRICH BORCKE, who had mainly been active in Grand-Ducal mining services. The youth letters FRIEDRICHS des GROSSEN to the budget minister v. B., which were excluded from sale in 1873, have since been lost (1 letter b. Stromberg, Haus Elverlingsen b. Altena/W., other letters b. Gravert, Gestüt Midlinghoven near Düsseldorf-Hubbelrath; 1921 still available, see Krudewig, Niederrhein. Homeland. 1, 1921, No. 14). The order of the files acquired in 1935 was taken as an occasion to redraw the previously acquired holdings. For practical reasons, the chronological order of the documents was maintained, especially as it was not always possible to assign individual pieces to a particular group. A small collection of documents and files, which had been alienated from the archive by the rector Bröring zu Rees, reached the state archives in 1936 together with his collection and was reunited with the main collection. Düsseldorf, 24 October 1936 signed. Oediger documents Explanation of the designations of origin Bilandt: Documents of the family v.

Rep. 4 III) (now Landesarchiv NRW Abteilung Westfalen ?; cf. handwritten margin note StA Münster in the analogous Altfindbuch 110.12.1, Bl. IX) Depositum Hueth II (from Wittenhorst-Sonsfeld) From the archival holdings at Hueth Castle (documents and records of the castle owners of Wylich-Lottum, von Wylich-Wenge, von der Recke, von Borcke and, lastly, von Wittenhorst-Sonsfeld) was discovered in 1872 by the Prussians. Archive administration acquired the so-called old archive with the estates of the minister Friedrich Wilhelm and the envoy Adrian Heinrich von Borcke. The latter as well as parts of the old archive were transferred to the Geh. Staatsarchiv in Berlin in 1873 by order of the Archivdirektion. The official files were distributed in 1889 to the state archives of Düsseldorf, Münster and Marburg according to the principle of provenance. In 1935 the remainder of the archive of the Hueth dominion was acquired and divided on the basis of 1889. The files acquired in 1872 and 1935 and transferred to the Düsseldorf State Archives were recorded together in the 1936 Findbuch der Herrschaft Hueth (C 135) by the later director of the Düsseldorf State Archives, Dr. Oediger. What remained in the possession of the barons of Wittenhorst-Sonsfeld on Hueth were parts of the family archive of the counts of Borcke and the family archive of the barons of Wittenhorst-Sonsfeld. The Wittenhorst Archive was listed in 1933 by the Landesarchivrat Dr. Kisky in the Findbuch Wittenhorst und Borcke (Hueth) (H 4 XIV); the remaining holdings were inspected and arranged by the Landesarchiv, but could no longer be carried out before the war. This last part of the archive was brought from the damaged archive rooms to the cellars of the Catholic elementary school in Rees by the archive advisory office. When the cellars had to be cleared in 1958, the archive was deposited with the Düsseldorf State Archives (Depositalvertrag vom 27.11.1958; Acc. No. 88/1958; Tageb. No. 3801-H XVII). The deposit consisted of 3 boxes with files, mainly of the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as a box with partly decayed books, a herbarium and various maps. It was placed in Room V. On 16.12. 59 Klaus Frh. von Wittenhorst-Sonsfeld received power of attorney from his brother to remove parts of these records. Dr. Lahrkamp began to record the rest of the completely rearranged and confused files. This work was completed July-September 1962 by the undersigned. The review revealed that more than half of the holdings are still parts of the von Borcke archive, with a focus on 1800 (Count Adrian Heinrich von Borcke, died 1791, Count Friedrich Heinrich, died 1825). The collection also contains individual pieces from the archives of von Borckeschen and Wittenhorst's relatives (Sommer, Bünte, von Goltstein zu Beeck). In order not to pre-empt the owner of the inventory, no money was collected, although a large part of the files are of little value, but only the unworthy pieces were sorted out and placed in a separate envelope.

The present file contains files of three different Prussian commissions which were responsible for the processing of compensation claims against the French state. Due to overlapping personnel and similar tasks, however, a relatively homogeneous file transmission results, the focus of which is on the activities of the main liquidation commission. On 3 June 1814 the Privy Councillor Johann Christian Magnus Freiherr von Oelssen (1775-1848) was appointed Commissioner for the Settlement of Compensation Claims of Prussian Nationals. He was supported by the Protestant General Consistorial President Johann Friedrich von Jacobi for a time. Wilhelm von Humboldt was in charge of the compensation matters. After the capture of Paris on 3 July 1815, Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher commissioned Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Ribbentrop (1768-1841), General Director of the Army, to negotiate the return of the works of art and cultural assets confiscated by the French troops in Prussia. To support him, war commissioner Jacoby and Prof. de Groote were assigned. In the further course, the Minister of State Karl vom Stein zum Altenstein (1770-1840) took over the negotiations and was supported by Johann Albrecht Friedrich Eichhorn (1779-1856), a member of the Court of Appeal, and Crull, a governor of Düsseldorf. After the Second Peace of Paris on 20 November 1815, the Prussian Liquidation Commission was finally formed. As liquidation commissions were also established in the Prussian provinces in the course of this period, the name of the main liquidation commission was established for the commission that initially met in Paris. The main task of this Commission was to negotiate with the French authorities on the approval of compensation figures for compensation claims submitted by Prussian nationals, authorities and municipalities during the French occupation. One territorial focus was on the areas that fell to Prussia after the peace agreement (including the Rhine Province). A large part of the files handed down contain the claims for compensation submitted and the Commission's decision on the legality of these claims. Wilhelm von Humboldt was appointed as the first Commissioner and Crull as the second Commissioner of the Governorate. Commissioner Crull also set up an Arbitration Commission based in Paris to rule on disputed claims for compensation. The main liquidation commission was later transferred to Berlin and dissolved in 1823. At a time that could no longer be determined, the Commission's files entered the holdings of the PK Secret State Archives and were recorded by the archivist Karl Sattler at the end of the 19th century. The stock was not outsourced during the Second World War. Therefore, the files remained in Berlin-Dahlem during the period of German division. However, since the find book was lost, the stock was again recorded by archivist Gerhard Kutzsch in 1953. This find book was retroconverted in 2013 by archives clerk Guido Behnke. The classification has been recreated. In addition, the existing file titles were reviewed and revised. In some cases, individual files had to be redrawn. The files of the stock were partially affected by water damage. Due to the resulting mould infestation, some of the files listed in this Reference Guide cannot currently be submitted for use. In addition, the collection includes approximately 50 official books (mainly cash books, directories, journals), which could not yet be recorded due to mould infestation.

1.1 Prussian Officer's Witwenkasse The Prussian Officer's Witwenkasse was founded in 1792 as an insurance institution for married officers of the Prussian army with state guarantee and support. Active officers were not required to join until 1810; previously, only voluntary membership was planned. Inactive officers were allowed to join on a voluntary basis from 1813. Civil servants of the military administration were required to join since 1818 (cf.: GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 7416). Until 1824, the Offizierswitwenkasse was organizationally linked to the Allgemeine Witwenverpflegungsanstalt, which had already been founded in 1775. The name of the Offizierswitwenkasse was later changed to Militärwitwenkasse and finally to Militärwitwenpensionsanstalt. The basis for the activities of the insurance company was the regulations for the Royal Prussian Officer's Witwenkasse of 3 March 1792 (cf.: GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 7413), which was amended over time by the following laws and instructions: - Act of 3 March 1792, of 17 July 1865 (see: Collection of Laws for the Royal Prussian States, 1865, pp. 817-840; GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, no. 7417) - Instruction on the execution of the Act of 17 July 1865, some amendments to the regulations for the Officer's Widow Fund of 3 March 1792, of 26 March 1792. September 1865 (cf.: Ministerial-Blatt für die gesamte innere Verwaltung in den Königlich Preußischen Staaten, 1865, p. 311-315; GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, no. 7417) - Law concerning amendments to the regulations for the Königlich Preußische Offizierswitwenkasse, of 15 June 1897 (cf.: Gesetzsammlung für die Königlich-Preußischen Staaten, 1897, p. 185-186; GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, no. 7417). By instruction of September 26, 1865, the group of military persons who were obliged or entitled to join the Officer's Witwenkasse, among other things, was bindingly defined. There was an obligation to join: - all active officers of the army (including gendarmerie) and the navy; - all officers of the army and navy on salary or pension; - all active military and navy officers with an annual salary of more than 250 talers; - all military and navy officers on salary or pension with an earlier annual salary of more than 250 talers; - civil officers of the Ministry of War who receive an annual salary of at least 250 talers from the army or navy budget. Furthermore, the following were entitled to join on a voluntary basis: - the officers who left active service with the prospect of reemployment; - the military and naval officers who left active service with the prospect of reemployment with an earlier annual salary of more than 250 talers; - the officers of the Landwehr on leave; - the military and naval officers with an annual salary of less than 250 talers; - the officers and officials who enter military service during a mobilization for the duration of the state of war. The law of 20 May 1882 on the welfare of widows and orphans of direct state officials (cf.: Gesetzsammlung für die Königlich-Preußischen Staaten, 1882, pp. 298-304) amended the provision for the survivors of Prussian state officials. Section 23 of this Act granted military officials previously insured with the Military Witwenkasse a right of resignation within a period of three months. Military officials could no longer be accepted as members of the military widow's fund. The law of 17 June 1887 concerning the welfare of widows and orphans of members of the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy (cf.: Reichsgesetzblatt, 1887, p. 237-244; GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, no. 7421) introduced the provision for survivors of officers, military doctors and military officials of the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy. As a result of this law, the military widow's fund was no longer obliged to become a member and its members had the opportunity to withdraw from the fund within a period of 3 months. In addition, § 29 of this Act stipulates that no new members may be admitted. However, the Prussian military widow's fund continued to exist after 1887 to carry out its tasks. Those members and widows who had not made use of their right of withdrawal could continue to receive benefits from the Military Widow's Fund. Due to considerable financial problems, payments could only be maintained before the First World War with the help of grants from the Reich. In the course of inflation, the pensions still paid out up to then were completely devalued and payments stopped completely at the end of 1923. The Prussian Military Witwenkasse and its affiliated institutions were finally dissolved (cf: Bitter, Rudolf von: Handwörterbuch der Preußischen Verwaltung, 3rd ed., Berlin and Leipzig 1928, vol. 2, p. 167). 1.2 Affiliated military widow and orphan funds As a result of the German War of 1866, the military pension funds of the annexed states of Hanover, Kurhessen and Nassau were affiliated to the Prussian military widow funds. However, the funds were not formally dissolved but continued to exist for the members entitled to a pension and continued to be administered by the Prussian Military Witwenkasse until the final liquidation in 1923. These are the following funds: - Hannoversche Unteroffizierswitwenkasse (cf. GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 6834[regulations of 1850]) - Kurhessische Militärwitwen- und waisenanstalt (cf. GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 7420[Statutes of 1858]) - Nassau Officer's Widows and Orphans Fund (see GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 7444[Statutes of 1828]). In 1902 the Unteroffizierswitwenkasse des Mecklenburg-Schwerinschen Kontingent was added (cf. GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 7418[Statutes of 1904]). This had emerged from the noncommissioned officers' committee of the Mecklenburg-Schwerin contingent, which had existed since the middle of the 19th century. 1.2 Pensions Department of the War Ministry The Department of Disability, which was later called the Pensions Department, was responsible for dealing with the pension and pension matters of the Prussian army. After the end of the First World War, the military supply agencies were first run by the Pensionsabteilung (Abw) des Heeresabwicklungsamtes Preußen and later by the Abteilung Preußen des Reichspensionsamtes für die ehemalige Wehrmacht. At the beginning of the 1920s, the pension files were handed over to the responsible pension offices. A part of the pension files was taken over by the main pension office Brandenburg-Pommern and finally reached the secret state archive PK via this office. 1.3 Pensions Department of the Imperial Navy Office In the Imperial Navy Office, Department A II (Department of Justice and Pensions) was responsible for processing the pension and support cases of naval officers and officials. After the First World War, this department was also handled by the following departments: - Reichswehrministerium, Admiralität, Abteilung für die Abwicklung der Hinterbliebenen- und Unterstützungsangelegenheiten - Reichsministerium des Innern, Pensionsabteilung (former Marine) - Reichspensionsamt für die ehemalige Wehrmacht, Abteilung Marine. Eventually, the navy's pension files were distributed to the responsible pension offices and thus also reached the main pension office of Brandenburg-Pomerania and, in this way, the secret state archive of the PK. 1.4 Main Supply Office The Main Supply Office Brandenburg-Pomerania was a Reich authority directly subordinated to the Reich Ministry of Labour for the management of the Reich's supply system in the area of the provinces Brandenburg and Pomerania. The various regional pension offices were subordinate to the main pension office. The Reich's care system concerned the care of military personnel who were entitled to care or medical treatment to restore their health as a result of service damage or disability. The provision of care for the surviving dependents of soldiers who died in the First World War or military personnel who died as a result of service damage also belonged to the area of responsibility of the Reich's pension system (cf: Bitter, Rudolf von: Handwörterbuch der Preußischen Verwaltung, 3rd ed., Berlin and Leipzig 1928, vol. 2, p. 937). The basis for the activities of the main pension office and the pension offices was the law on the provision of benefits for military personnel and their surviving dependents in the event of official disability (Reichsversorgungsgesetz) of 12 May 1920 (cf.: Reichsgesetzblatt, 1920. pp. 989-1019). The establishment of the authorities was initially provisionally regulated by the Law on the Pension Authorities of 15 May 1920 (cf.: Reichsgesetzblatt, 1920, p. 1063f) and finally by the Law on the Procedure in Pension Matters of 10 January 1922 (cf.: Reichsgesetzblatt, 1922, p. 59-85). 2. inventory history 2.1 Militärwitwenkassen At first, only the documents of the Prussian Offizierswitwenkasse of the Reichsarchiv, Berlin Department, which had grown up until the dissolution of the old army in 1806, were handed over to the Geheime Staatsarchiv PK (see: GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 178 C 4, No. 2585[Accessionsjournal 1910-1926]). This was a relatively closed registry, which at the time had been transferred to the Reichsarchiv via the Secret Archive of the War Ministry. The holdings included the so-called acts of reception (acts of accession of the members) ordered by troop units and were given the title He. A. Rep. 7 A Officer's widow's box office - Old filing cabinet. The general files and loan files (files on borrowed capital of the Fund) created before 1806 were already collected in 1865. Also affected by the cassation were the widow's files, insofar as they were not transferred to the new registry (Meisner, Heinrich Otto; Winter, Georg: Übersicht über diebestand des Geheimen Staatsarchivs zu Berlin-Dahlem, 2. Teil, Leipzig 1935, pp. 110-112) with the processes from the reception files. These files were transferred to the Army Archive in Potsdam in the 1930s as part of the demarcation of the holdings and were probably destroyed there during the war-related destruction of this archive in 1945. There is only a list of members arranged according to units, which gives an idea of the scope of the destroyed reception files of the "Old Registry" (see GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 7598). In 1935, the Reichsarchiv, Berlin Department, also took over the archival records of the Officer's Witwenkassen, which had been created after 1806, and used them as a collection He. A. 7 B Offizierswitwenkasse - Neue Registratur reponiert (Meisner, Heinrich Otto; Winter, Georg: Übersicht über diebestände des Geheimen Staatsarchivs zu Berlin-Dahlem, 2. part, Leipzig 1935, pp. 110-112). The files taken over included the general files, accounting documents, name registers, membership files and widow files of the Prussian Officer's Witwenkasse as well as the documents of the affiliated military widwenkassen administered by the Prussian Military Witwenkasse (the former Hanoverian, Kurhessian and Nassauian armed forces, and the Mecklenburg-Swabian contingent). In the course of the above-mentioned demarcation of the holdings, large parts of this holdings (including the member and widow files) were also transferred to the Army Archive in Potsdam, where they were also destroyed when this archive was destroyed. The extent of the lost member and widow files can only be guessed from the observation that in 1935 about "1000 large packages of officers' widow's fund" files were transferred to the Secret State Archives PK (cf.: GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 178 C 4, Nr. 2586[Zugangsbuch für Archivalien 1927-1935]). Only a small number of general files and some accounting documents remained in the Secret State Archives of the PK. In addition to the member cadastre (list of members), a number of name registers and lists of files have been preserved. However, these only provide very little information about the members of the military widow's fund or their relatives. 2.2 Supply files The supply files created in the supply departments of the War Ministry and the Imperial Navy Office were submitted to the Brandenburg-Pomerania Main Supply Office after the relevant military authorities had been wound up. In October 1946 the pension files were taken over by the Secret State Archives PK (cf.: GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 178 C 4, No. 2586). Due to the effects of the war only a reduced part of the originally considerably more extensive file material was available at this time. The acquired files were evaluated in 1946 (cf.: Preface to the Old Find Book of the former GStA PK, X. HA, Rep. 101). At that time, the supply files of the following groups of military personnel were classified as worthy of archiving: - Officers (from the rank of colonel or captain at sea) - military physicians - veterinarians - building officials - administrative officials - judges and auditors - geographers, topographers and cartographers - professors and teachers at military schools - army pastors - members of colonial protection troops - participants in colonial campaigns. Selected individual cases have also been passed down. The remaining files have been collected. The position GStA PF, X. HA, Rep. 101 Versorgungsakten was formed from the transferred pension files. These files contain a variety of biographical materials such as farewell requests, service career certificates, pension statements, salary questionnaires and support requests. Together with the supply files, probably also the file lists and pension recipient lists as well as individual files of the supply departments of the War Ministry or the Reich Marine Office, which were also kept in the main supply office Brandenburg-Pomerania, were transferred to the secret state archive PK. This partial stock was not distorted. The collection also contains a number of files from foundations and troop funds supporting former military personnel, including the National Appreciation for Veterans Foundation. These foundations were administered by the pension department of the War Ministry. The files were also transferred to the Secret State Archive PK via the Brandenburg-Pomerania main public utility office. The documents handed down are primarily a manageable number of documents on the accounting and capital management of the foundations. However, with one exception (see GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 6931), there are no directories with the names of beneficiaries. As part of the reorganisation of the holdings in 2009 and 2010, the existing reference book from 1949 was retroconverted by archive employee Guido Behnke. In addition, the previously unlisted archival records (registers and registers of the military widow's funds and the utilities departments) were listed. The stock was sorted according to a newly created classification. 3. instructions for use 3.1 Military Witwenkassen An important source for the determination of biographical information on officers of the Prussian army is the so-called. Officer's nomenclature (see: GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 1, No. 71-95). This is an alphabetical list of military data of officers for a period from the 18th century to about 1873/74; unfortunately, some volumes of the officers' nomenclature have not been preserved in the holdings of the PK Secret State Archives. In this context, the list of members of the Prussian officer's widow's fund can be a useful addition. However, it must be emphasized that only the names of those officers or military officials who belonged to the circle of eligible members of the Military Widow Fund are included in this list. This means above all that they were married at the time of their military career. It is also important that only a relatively small amount of biographical data (e.g. date of birth and death, name of wife, unit) is available in the member lists. However, it should be noted that the original member and widow files have not been handed down. To use the membership lists, it is first necessary to determine the membership number of the military person you are looking for. The alphabetical name registers (classification group 01.07.01) can be used for this. As soon as the membership number is known, the relevant chronologically ordered membership lists can be reviewed. This is first of all the so-called. Member cadastre, which contains all members who have joined the Offizierswitwenkasse since its foundation in chronological order. In addition to the member cadastre, the so-called. Special manual available, which is also sorted by member numbers. Several membership numbers were also assigned to individual persons (e.g. when changing the pension amount, remarrying). In the special manual, the relevant entry is in this case always below the lowest member number. The other member numbers only contain references to the first entry. Since the special manual sometimes contains more detailed information than the member cadastre, it should also be used for research purposes. However, the special manual is only available from 1835 (starting with member number 13001). A widow's number is also listed in the member cadastre and in the special manual, provided that the insured event has occurred and a widow's pension has been paid. On the basis of this widow number, the chronologically ordered widow lists (classification group 01.08.02) can also be looked through, which may contain some further information on the widow of the sought military person. The individual steps of the drilldown reporting are now explained using an example: We are looking for information about Lieutenant General August von Witzleben. 1.) In the classification group 01.07.01, the membership number (No. 20369) and the widow's number (No. 10577) can be determined in the relevant volume of the alphabetical list of names (GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 7394). 2.) Based on the membership number, the relevant volume of the member cadastre (GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 6935) or special manuals (GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 7197) can be determined and reviewed in classification group 01.07.02. 3.) On the basis of the widow's number, you can then search in classification group 01.08.02 in the relevant volume of the widow's register (GStA PK, IV. HA, Rep. 7, No. 7178). For the military widows' and orphans' funds affiliated to the Prussian Military Widow Fund, there are also individual member directories and widows' and orphans' directories in the holdings. 3.2 Medical care files The medical care files are listed in the search book alphabetically according to the name of the corresponding military member under the classification 08. For this reason, this reference book does not have a register of names. In addition to the rank of the person concerned, the names of some widows and other surviving dependents are also listed. This, albeit reduced, file holdings are of considerable importance for biographical research on individual officers and military officials, since the war-related destruction of the army archive in 1945 destroyed a very large number of files containing biographical material, such as, for example, in the specific case the member and widow files of the Offizierswitwenkasse (Devantier, Sven Uwe: Das Heeresarchiv Potsdam - Die Bestandsaufnahme in der Abteilung Militärarchiv des Bundesarchivs, in: Archivar, 61st ed, Issue 4, 2008, pp. 361-369). The pension recipient lists of the War Ministry and the Navy Office listed in the classification groups 05.04 and 06.02 contain only little information. However, as already mentioned, due to the consequences of the war and the cassation, a large part of the supply files has not been handed down, so that in individual cases at least the basic information on the military personnel concerned can be researched. 4. references to other holdings of the Secret State Archives PK A small number of files on supply matters of individual officers can be found in classification group 13.5 Military Cases/Personnel Matters of the holdings of GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 89 Secret Civil Cabinet (cf.: Findbuch des Bestandes GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 89, Vol. 17, p. 2805-2812). In addition, individual files on the officers' widow's fund and military supply matters can also be found in the following holdings: - GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 77 Ministry of the Interior - GStA PK, I.

Find aids: delivery list (internal) registry formers: The Landes-Heil- und Pflege-Anstalt Bernburg was opened on 1 October 1875 after a construction period of two years. First director was Dr. Moritz Fränkel. One year later she was placed under the command of the Landarmendirektion. Initially, the institution was able to admit 132 patients. The number of patients increased in the following decades and reached a peak of 424 in 1914. 19 male and female nurses were employed to look after the sick, their positions being occupied by deaconesses from Neuendettelsau and from 1885 from the Oberlinhaus in Nowawes near Potsdam. In 1882, an agricultural "colony" was attached to the institution for the purpose of occupational therapy. During the National Socialist era, part of the institution was separated and used as a "euthanasia" institution. More than 14000 people died in their gas chambers in the years 1940-1943 within the framework of the "Aktion T4" and the "Sonderbehandlung 14 f 13". In 1942 the hospital was renamed several times under the auspices of the state - "Anhaltische Nervenklinik", "Nervenklinik Bernburg", "Bezirkskrankenhaus für Psychiatrie und Neurologie" and "Landeskrankenhaus Bernburg" - before the "Salus gGmbH" took over the hospital in 2000. Inventory information: Irrespective of the changes in naming and social conditions, the collection reflects the period from the establishment of the Landes-Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Bernburg in 1875 to the 1970s of the 20th century. In terms of content, the Bernburger Anstalt has almost exclusively handed down patient-related medical records, some of which were also available after 1945 separately for diseases. No files from the hospital administration have been transferred to the state archives. The so-called euthanasia patient files are kept in the Federal Archives in the inventory of the Führer's Chancellery, Hauptamt IIb - R 179. The files were taken over in the years 1999, 2000 and 2010-2015. Of the offered medical files, the years up to 1949 were taken over completely and only a small selection of the other patient-related files were taken over into the archive. For almost all of the transferred files, directories had been created by the hospital on which, arranged according to diseases and the respective year of departure of the patient, the personal data of the patient are contained.

History of the Inventory Designer: The Constitution of the German Reich of 16 April 1871, as well as the Constitution of the North German Confederation of 1867, contained no more detailed provisions on the design of the Reich Administration. Only the Reich Chancellor was the only responsible minister of the German Reich with constitutional rank. How he should fulfil his duties and tasks, on the other hand, remained largely undefined and left to the concrete will of the respective office holder. Because of this constitutional indeterminacy, the Reich level of the administration of the German Empire was bound to the character of the improvised and sometimes also the unstable until the end of the German Empire. At first it actually seemed as if Bismarck, as the only minister of the Reich, wanted to work with only one central, unified administrative authority. The Federal Chancellery, on whose organisation its later President Rudolf Delbrück had exerted considerable influence, began its work in 1867 as the office of the Federal Chancellor and was continued in the expansion of the North German Confederation into the German Reich under the name of the Reich Chancellery. The responsibilities of the Office were comprehensive and included the function of an office for the standing committees of the Federal Council, the handling of the revenues and expenditures of the Confederation and the preparation of the presidential bills. With the foundation of the German Reich, the Imperial Chancellery also took over the direct administration of the Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine and the Reichseisenbahnen. Karl Hofmann, the President of the Reich Chancellery, was instructed by decree of 6 August 1877 to prepare for the creation of a special office which would take care of all the affairs of the Reich Chancellor for which he had "previously used forces of the Foreign Office for spatial reasons". Hofmann's submission of 29 Nov. 1877 then also provided for the establishment of such a central office under the designation "Special Office of the Reich Chancellor", but placed this office in the budget of the Reich Chancellery. However, Hofmann did not succeed in this attempt to fortify the position of his office again. Although Bismarck agreed with Hofmann's proposals concerning the internal organisation and salary classification of the staff in his new office, he changed the name of the new post to "Centralbureau" on the basis of his own hand. More important than this change in the nomenclature, however, was the fact that Bismarck, by decree of 16 December 1877, called on Hofmann to draw up a special budget for an independent authority not incorporated into the Imperial Chancellery. The draft of a "Budget for the Imperial Chancellor and his Central Office for the Budget Year 1878/79" provided funds for the salaries of a speaking council, an expediting secretary, a clerical secretary and a clerical servant. The new authority was to take its seat in the former Palais Radziwill in Wilhelmstraße 77; the Imperial Chancellor was also to move into an official residence there. Bismarck requested with Immediatbericht of 16 May 1878 from Wilhelm I. the permission for the constitution of the new office, which should be called Reich Chancellery, because this designation might correspond "most exactly to the position and the tasks of the same". Christoph von Tiedemann, who had been Bismarck's closest collaborator since 1876 and was therefore familiar with the habits of the Reich Chancellor to the best of his ability, became head of the Reich Chancellery. Under his leadership, the Reich Chancellery actually developed into a political relay station in the centre of the political decision-making structure, whose function was also recognised by the State Secretaries of the Reich Offices. Under constitutional law, the Reich Chancellery was never more than the office of the Reich Chancellor, which "had to mediate the official dealings of the latter with the heads of the individual departments". The office character is expressed not least in the official rank of the head of the Reich Chancellery and the very limited staff until the end of the imperial era. It was not until 1907 that the head of the Reich Chancellery was elevated to the rank of Undersecretary of State and thus placed on an equal footing with the senior officials of the Reich Offices. Although the number of employees grew from originally four in 1878 to 19 in 1908 and continued to rise to 25 in 1918 due to the requirements of the First World War, the Reich Chancellery never even came close to the number of staff of a Reich Office. The private and representative affairs of the Reich Chancellor were handled by the special office of the Reich Chancellor, which continued to reside in the Foreign Office even after the establishment of the Reich Chancellery. With the beginning of the First World War, a joint branch office of the Reich Chancellery and the Foreign Office was established at the Great Headquarters under the name "Formation Reichskanzler und Auswärtiges Amt". This branch existed until the end of the war. A permanent representative was here to represent the interests of the Reich Chancellor when he was in Berlin. In the Reich Chancellery, on the other hand, the Undersecretary of State ran the business if the Reich Chancellor was in the headquarters. In February 1917 a permanent representative of the Reich Chancellor was installed at the Supreme Army Command in order to get a better grip on the continuing disagreements between Reich Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg and the 3rd Supreme Army Command under Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff. His task was to keep the Supreme Army Command constantly informed about the policy of the Reich Administration. With the forced abdication of Emperor Wilhelm II and the resignation of Reich Chancellor Max von Baden, business was transferred to the Council of People's Representatives on 11 Nov. 1918, which temporarily exercised the function of an imperial government until the government of Philipp Scheidemann took office on 19 February 1919. From 9 November 1918 to 3 March 1919, the head of the Reich Chancellery was the journalist Curt Baake. After the Weimar parliamentary democracy was established, the position of the Reich Chancellor also changed, as did that of the Reich Chancellery. While the Imperial Chancellor was no longer the only Imperial Minister, as he was in the Empire, he, as Chairman of the Imperial Government, determined the political guidelines in accordance with Articles 55 and 56 of the Imperial Constitution, through which he was able to exert a decisive influence on the fate of the Empire. His authority to issue directives was, of course, restricted by constitutional law and political practice to a considerable extent, for it had to be brought into line politically with the powers of other organs provided for in the Reich Constitution. These were less the Reichsrat, which as a permanent conference of delegates of the state governments had only limited powers in the field of legislation and administration and whose significance cannot be compared with that of the Bundesrat of the Kaiserreich, than the other two constitutional organs: Reichstag and Reichspräsident. With the change of the position of the Reich Chancellor in the Weimar Republic, the tasks of the Reich Chancellery also increased. The Reich Chancellery remained, as in the imperial period, the office of the Reich Chancellor for his dealings with the constitutional organs, now the Reich President, the Reichstag, the Reich Council and the individual Reich Ministers. The State Secretary in the Reich Chancellery took part in the cabinet meetings, informed the Reich Chancellor about the current fundamental issues of politics as a whole, accompanied him at all important conferences in Germany and abroad, observed the formation of opinion in parliament, the press, coordinated legislative work with the Reich parties on his behalf, and gave a lecture to the Reich Chancellor himself. The Reich Chancellery was also represented by a member in the above-mentioned intergroup meetings, in which the most important decisions of the Cabinet were discussed in advance with the party and parliamentary group leaders. She made sure that, despite the constant tensions in the constantly changing coalitions, the objective work of the Reich's departments continued. he preparation of the collegiate decisions and the reliable monitoring of their implementation, two of the Reich Chancellery's main tasks, was of particular importance in this respect. The necessary consequence of these increased tasks was an increase in the number of departments in the Reich Chancellery from three (as of 1910) to eight (as of 1927) and in the number of civil servants from 20 before the outbreak of the First World War. Formally, the Reich Chancellery had various offices attached to it, which were either directly subordinated to it, such as the Reich Headquarters for Homeland Service, or under the direct control of the Reich Chancellor. When, after the death of the Reich President von Hindenburg, the Reich Chancellor took over the powers and rights of the head of state of the German Reich by the Law of August 1, 1934 - including the supreme command of the Wehrmacht - and thus united the office of Reich President with the office of Reich Chancellor in his person, this also had an effect on his relationship with the Reich government. As head of state, Hitler had the right to appoint and dismiss the Reich Ministers without having to wait for the proposal of the Reich Chancellor, as the Reich President had done. The Reichsminister were therefore completely dependent on him. According to the Reich Law of 16 October 1934 on the Oath of the Reich Ministers and Members of the State Governments, the formula of which was later also incorporated into the German Civil Servants Law of 26 January 1937, they were obliged to loyalty and obedience to him. The Führer principle of the NSDAP now also applied to the Reich government, whose members the "Führer und Reichskanzler," as Hitler was called after the decree to the Reich Minister of the Interior of August 2, 1934, only had to advise in inner-German dealings, but were now also legally obliged to submit to his will in case of a dissenting opinion. This meant that the Reichskabinett was no longer a decision-making body in which the Reich Chancellor could possibly have been majorized, but rather a "Führerrat", which only had to advise the head of government. It was planned to also fix this changed position of the Reich Chancellor vis-à-vis the Reich government in law, an intention which, at Hitler's request, was postponed in the cabinet meeting of 26 January 1937, particularly with regard to foreign countries, until the creation of a new Basic Law. The above-mentioned concentration of state tasks on the Führer and Reich Chancellor naturally also had an effect on the responsibilities of the Reich Chancellery. Thus, for example, the Enabling Act already brought about a certain increase in tasks for them, because the laws passed by the Reich government were no longer to be drawn up and promulgated by the Reich President, but by the Reich Chancellor, and the fewest laws were still passed in the ordinary legislative process, through the Reichstag, but went the second legislative process described above, or were passed as Führer decrees or ordinances - without the participation of the Cabinet. The strengthened position of the head of the Reich Chancellery was conspicuous externally in the fact that the documents of government laws signed by Hitler and co-signed by the participating Reich Minister now always also bore the co-signature of the Reich Minister and head of the Reich Chancellery, who thus assumed responsibility for the proper course of the legislative process. After the establishment of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Reich at the end of August 1939, the signature of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Reich was also necessary in second place behind that of Hitler. In addition, the head of the Reich Chancellery also signed all the Führer decrees with legislative content and, if necessary - which never occurred - the Reichstag laws and the laws enacted on the basis of the "Volksgesetzgebung" (People's Legislation). The increasing workload of Hitler, who in addition to the powers of the Reich Chancellor and the Reich President also exercised supreme command over the Wehrmacht, meant that the cabinet meetings gradually ceased. In addition, the Reich Chancellor, who could no longer be informed by the Reich Ministers united in the cabinet about the completion of individual tasks in the departments, was increasingly dependent on information from the head of the Reich Chancellery. The task of selecting from the wealth of information supplied and processed those suitable for presentation to the Reich Chancellor and of deciding whether Hitler's intervention in certain matters appeared necessary was therefore the responsibility of the head of the Reich Chancellery, who granted him another key position in the leadership apparatus of the state civilian sector. The Reichsminister also had the opportunity to give individual lectures directly to the Reich Chancellor. But Hitler also made less and less use of this, so that the head of the Reich Chancellery practically advised him alone, which strengthened his position vis-à-vis the specialist ministers, who tried in vain to reach certain agreements among themselves through private meetings, especially towards the end of the war. The office of the Reich President, renamed "Präsidialkanzlei" and renamed "Präsidialkanzlei des Führers und Reichskanzlers" by decree of the Führer and Reich Chancellor of 1 December 1937, remained responsible for the handling of all matters concerning the head of state even after the merger of the offices of the Reich President and the Reich Chancellor.B. the preparation of ceremonial receptions of foreign heads of state, princes and statesmen, the receipt of letters of attestation and recall from foreign diplomats, congratulations and condolences from the head of state, the processing of petitions in matters of grace and the entire title and religious order system. On the other hand, the political affairs in which, in addition to the decision of the Reich government, the decision of the head of the Reich was also necessary, were now taken care of by the Reich Chancellery, as was the preparation of political decisions, which up to then had to be made by the head of state, such as the enactment of organizational decrees, which were now the sole responsibility of the Reich Chancellery. Although the documents of appointment and dismissal for the higher Reich officials were still to be submitted to Hitler for execution by the office of the head of state, i.e. now by the head of the presidential chancellery, the responsible ministers and the Reich Chancellery were responsible for the factual and political preparation. Inventory description: Inventory history The day after the Reich Chancellery was established, on 19 May 1878, the expediting secretary in the Foreign Office, Hans Rudolf Sachse, who shortly afterwards began his service as a registrar in the new Reich authority, presented the draft of a registry order for the Reich Chancellery to the lecturing council of Tiedemann. His "basic features for the book and file keeping at the Reich Chancellery" were obviously based on the experience of the Foreign Office's records administration. The records were initially stored loosely in shelves in the registry, probably lying from the outset in the provided and already inscribed file covers. If a file unit had reached a thickness of 2 - 3 cm, it was provided with a linen back and another dust jacket and formed into a tape by means of thread stitching. This organisation of written records proved to be sufficient and practicable for a long series of years. With the gradual further development of the functions and activities of the Reich Chancellery, and as a result of the development of constitutional law and administrative organization in the Reich and in the federal states, however, it had to appear in need of change over time. At the turn of the century it was therefore decided to introduce a more differentiated file system, which came into force on 1 January 1900. The state's new beginning on 13 February 1919, the day on which Cabinet Scheidemann took office, brought a continuous cut in the registry of the Reich Chancellery. The entire file inventory was transferred to the old filing system and new files were created. The 30th of January meant a noticeable, but not sharp cut in the records administration of the Reich Chancellery. In order to start a new filing layer on this day, numerous files were removed from the current filing system, stapled and repositioned in the old filing system. They were replaced by new volumes. However, this only happened if the running band was filled to some extent anyway; if this was not the case, it was continued. In any case, the band counting began again with the number 1, although the series from the Weimar period continued seamlessly. The file structure, however, was left unchanged, and thread-stitching generally remained the same; standing files were used for the first time only for newly created series. In addition to the files kept in the registry, other records were also handed down by the fact that the Reich Chancellors and senior officials of the Reich Chancellery did not have handwritten records, personal papers, and a large part of their private correspondence filed in the registry, but as a rule kept them in their offices. It was not uncommon for such documents to be taken along when leaving office. Thus the estates of the Reich Chancellors Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, Bülow, Hertling and Luther as well as of the chiefs of the Reich Chancellery Rottenburg and Pünder, which are kept in the Federal Archives, almost regularly contain official or semi-official documents in addition to private records, which have arisen from the exercise of official functions. The fact that the files of the Lammers Minister's Office have remained in the inventory is a consequence of their joint outsourcing with the inventory towards the end of the Second World War. In other cases, files of Reich Chancellors and senior officials with material on specific issues, with documents for conferences, meetings, etc., were handed over to the registry for safekeeping as soon as they were no longer needed and assigned to the relevant subject series as supplements. As a result, such hand files are scattered over the inventory, e.g. the hand files for the series "Execution of the Peace Treaty, Reparations" in the group "Foreign Affairs". The secret files of the Reich Chancellery formed another complex of documents separate from the registry holdings, the content, scope and structure of which unfortunately are not known in detail. According to the information available in the Federal Archives, they were probably burned before the end of the war by members of the Reich Chancellery in accordance with the decree of the Reich Minister of the Interior to the Reich Defence Commissioners of 12 October 1944 concerning "Behaviour of the Authorities in the Event of Enemy Occupation"[85] Individual fragments of secret files, which probably accidentally escaped annihilation and were in the inventory, were listed in the present find book at the end of the section "Files of the Minister's Office". In Potsdam, with a few exceptions, there are those old files of the Reich Chancellery from the period 1878 - 1919 which had been removed from the current registry in mid-February 1919 and deposited in an old file file. The Reichsarchiv had only been able to take it over in 1937 or 1938, after earlier efforts in vain. Only the old files of the service administration, including the personnel files, remained in the Authority. During the Second World War, the holdings of the Reich Archives, together with other archival materials, were moved to the Staßfurt salt mine near Magdeburg, where they fell into the hands of the Red Army in 1945. It was taken to the Soviet Union and 10 years later, in July 1955, handed over to the German Central Archive (renamed the "Central State Archive of the GDR" in 1973) in Potsdam. There it formed the inventory 07. 01. The inventory division into four departments was retained. In addition to the former Reichsarchiv holdings, the Central State Archives also kept about 800 individual records of the registry from the years 1933 - 1945, which were presumably found in the Wilhelmstraße office building. The majority of the Reichskanzleiakten from the years 1919 - 1945 as well as the old files of the office administration had been in Berlin only until the last phase of the war. As the situation in and around Berlin worsened, they were relocated to southern Germany, where they were confiscated by American troops in 1945. Via the Ministerial Collecting Center in Hessisch-Lichtenau and Fürstenhagen near Kassel, the central collection point for all material found by the Americans in their occupation zone[90], they reached the Berlin Documents Unit at the beginning of 1946. Here they - like other German files stored there - were evaluated for investigations against leading personalities from the state, the party and other areas of public life in preparation for war crimes trials. During the Berlin blockade in the summer of 1948, the files united in the Documents Unit were transferred to Whaddon Hall near Bletchley in the southern English county of Buckinghamshire. The files of the Reich Chancellery were stored there until 1958 and were provisionally arranged, recorded and selected for filming. In addition to the tradition of the Federal Foreign Office, which is primarily relevant, they also served as the basis for the edition of files on German foreign policy, which was initially edited exclusively by Anglo-Saxon and French historians. These files finally reached the Federal Archives in two transports in December 1958 and January 1959, a remainder at the end of April 1959. Here they form the listed holdings R 43 I, II. Archivische Bearbeitung During the provisional arrangement and indexing of the files of the Reich Chancellery from the years 1919 - 1945 in Whaddon Hall, the editors proceeded from two partial holdings. One of them essentially covered the tradition of the Weimar period, the other mainly the files from the period after 30 January 1933; they were briefly referred to as the "Old" and "New" Reich Chancelleries. As mentioned above, this division had already taken place in January/February 1933 in the Reich Chancellery and had been maintained during the relocation of the files during the war and after their confiscation. In the course of the processing, it was refrained from restoring the consistent arrangement of the file groups in both partial holdings, e.g. according to the alphabet of the group titles as they had existed in the registry of the Reich Chancellery. Only the registry connections within the groups that were presumably largely lost due to frequent relocations of the holdings were taken into account, whereby errors and mistakes were often made due to a lack of familiarity with the registry relationships and the file management of the Reich Chancellery. Nevertheless, it was possible to restore the mass of files to their original order with the help of the old signatures and tape numbers. Less satisfactorily, the classification of the not insignificant remnant of the tradition was resolved, which consisted of files of the minister's office, hand files of officials, secret file fragments, volumes with collections of circulars, circulars and press cuttings, registration aids, etc. Materials of this kind came to various places, especially at the end of both parts of the stock. In each part of the collection, the volumes were numbered consecutively. The distortion was also differentiated between the two partial stocks. The sequential number, the old signature and the runtime were included as formal specifications. In order to identify the contents of the file, the serial title was taken from the inscription of the file as the subject of the thread-stitched volumes, i.e. above all the files of the older part. In the case of standing folders, on the other hand, the titles of the individual transactions were entered in the list, as far as Rotuli was available with the corresponding information, and the subject series title was usually dispensed with. As a result, two very different lists were drawn up in terms of their degree of resolution. In the Federal Archives, these directories served for a long time as exclusive finding aids. This meant that the division into two parts, R 43 I (Old Reich Chancellery) and R 43 II (New Reich Chancellery), was retained. The consecutive numbering carried out in Waddon Hall also remained unchanged, since the files had already frequently been quoted in scientific publications afterwards. For conservation reasons, however, the documents stored in standing files and folders had to be transferred to archive folders; as a rule, two or three or sometimes more volumes were formed from the contents of one folder. This was necessary in order to separate files from various subject series that had been united in the Reich Chancellery and to form handy, not too extensive volumes. The volumes formed from the documents of a standing file, however, retained its serial number and were distinguished by the addition of letters (a, b, c, etc.). Within the volumes, the delimitation of the processes from each other, which had previously been recognizable by filing them in hanging binders, was marked by the insertion of separator sheets. On the other hand it turned out that 84 volumes from R 43 I and 205 volumes from R 43 II could not be separated and destroyed. The largest part (125 volumes) concerned the administration of the Aid Fund and the Disposition Fund of the Reich Chancellor; it consisted of individual files on the acceptance and use of donations from private sources, on the granting or refusal of support, other donations or gifts of honour to private individuals, associations and federations in emergencies, birthdays, anniversaries, events and on the occasion of the assumption of honorary sponsorships by the Reich Chancellor. The corresponding activity of the Reich Chancellery is already documented by several series in the groups "Reich Chancellor" and "Welfare" as well as by a number of files of the minister's office. The second largest group of documents collected (about 120 volumes) were files of the service administration. They mainly contained cash documents, invoices and receipts, company offers, correspondence with individual companies about deliveries and services for the Reich Chancellery as well as irrelevant documents about various house matters. The rest of the non-archival material consisted of volumes with multiple traditions and collections of official printed matter, in a few cases volumes containing only individual transmission letters. Finally, 44 volumes with documents of foreign provenances were removed from the holdings and assigned to other holdings, in some cases also to places outside the house. The majority of the documents are from the Community of Student Associations, which Reichsminister Dr. Lammers managed and whose business he had led through his office. Details are given in the Annex. The maps and plans, which were taken from the files for conservation reasons, were combined in the map archive to an independent group "Plan R 43 II". These are in particular planning breaks for the new building from the years 1943 ff. They are indexed by a separate index. The holdings of the Central State Archives (07.01) and the Federal Archives (R 43) were merged into holdings R 43 following the merger of the two archives in 1990. For the files of the Reich Chancellery from the years 1919 to 1945, a publication index was available since 1984, which also takes into account the files of this epoch kept in the Central State Archives until 1990. For the files of the "Old Reich Chancellery" (1878-1919), the Central State Archives had a finding aid book that had already been compiled in the Reich Archives.

With the forced abdication of Emperor Wilhelm II and the resignation of Reich Chancellor Max von Baden, business was transferred to the Council of People's Representatives on 11 Nov. 1918, which temporarily exercised the function of an imperial government until the government of Philipp Scheidemann took office on 19 February 1919. From 9 November 1918 to 3 March 1919, the head of the Reich Chancellery was the journalist Curt Baake. After the Weimar parliamentary democracy was established, the position of the Reich Chancellor also changed, as did that of the Reich Chancellery. While the Imperial Chancellor was no longer the only Imperial Minister, as he was in the Empire, he, as Chairman of the Imperial Government, determined the political guidelines in accordance with Articles 55 and 56 of the Imperial Constitution, through which he was able to exert a decisive influence on the fate of the Empire. His authority to issue directives was, of course, restricted by constitutional law and political practice to a considerable extent, for it had to be brought into line politically with the powers of other organs provided for in the Reich Constitution. These were less the Reichsrat, which as a permanent conference of delegates of the state governments had only limited powers in the field of legislation and administration and whose significance cannot be compared with that of the Bundesrat of the Kaiserreich, than the other two constitutional organs: Reichstag and Reichspräsident. With the change of the position of the Reich Chancellor in the Weimar Republic, the tasks of the Reich Chancellery also increased. The Reich Chancellery remained, as in the imperial period, the office of the Reich Chancellor for his dealings with the constitutional organs, now the Reich President, the Reichstag, the Reich Council and the individual Reich Ministers. The State Secretary in the Reich Chancellery took part in the cabinet meetings, informed the Reich Chancellor about the current fundamental issues of politics as a whole, accompanied him at all important conferences in Germany and abroad, observed the formation of opinion in parliament, the press, coordinated legislative work with the Reich parties on his behalf, and gave a lecture to the Reich Chancellor himself. The Reich Chancellery was also represented by a member in the above-mentioned intergroup meetings, in which the most important decisions of the Cabinet were discussed in advance with the party and parliamentary group leaders. She made sure that, despite the constant tensions in the constantly changing coalitions, the objective work of the Reich's departments continued. he preparation of the collegiate decisions and the reliable monitoring of their implementation, two of the Reich Chancellery's main tasks, was of particular importance in this respect. The necessary consequence of these increased tasks was an increase in the number of departments in the Reich Chancellery from three (as of 1910) to eight (as of 1927) and in the number of civil servants from 20 before the outbreak of the First World War. Formally, the Reich Chancellery had various offices attached to it, which were either directly subordinated to it, such as the Reich Headquarters for Homeland Service, or under the direct control of the Reich Chancellor. When, after the death of the Reich President von Hindenburg, the Reich Chancellor took over the powers and rights of the head of state of the German Reich by the Law of August 1, 1934 - including the supreme command of the Wehrmacht - and thus united the office of Reich President with the office of Reich Chancellor in his person, this also had an effect on his relationship with the Reich government. As head of state, Hitler had the right to appoint and dismiss the Reich Ministers without having to wait for the proposal of the Reich Chancellor, as the Reich President had done. The Reichsminister were therefore completely dependent on him. According to the Reich Law of 16 October 1934 on the Oath of the Reich Ministers and Members of the State Governments, the formula of which was later also incorporated into the German Civil Servants Law of 26 January 1937, they were obliged to loyalty and obedience to him. The Führer principle of the NSDAP now also applied to the Reich government, whose members the "Führer und Reichskanzler," as Hitler was called after the decree to the Reich Minister of the Interior of August 2, 1934, only had to advise in inner-German dealings, but were now also legally obliged to submit to his will in case of a dissenting opinion. This meant that the Reichskabinett was no longer a decision-making body in which the Reich Chancellor could possibly have been majorized, but rather a "Führerrat", which only had to advise the head of government. It was planned to also fix this changed position of the Reich Chancellor vis-à-vis the Reich government in law, an intention which, at Hitler's request, was postponed in the cabinet meeting of 26 January 1937, particularly with regard to foreign countries, until the creation of a new Basic Law. The above-mentioned concentration of state tasks on the Führer and Reich Chancellor naturally also had an effect on the responsibilities of the Reich Chancellery. Thus, for example, the Enabling Act already brought about a certain increase in tasks for them, because the laws passed by the Reich government were no longer to be drawn up and promulgated by the Reich President, but by the Reich Chancellor, and the fewest laws were still passed in the ordinary legislative process, through the Reichstag, but went the second legislative process described above, or were passed as Führer decrees or ordinances - without the participation of the Cabinet. The strengthened position of the head of the Reich Chancellery was conspicuous externally in the fact that the documents of government laws signed by Hitler and co-signed by the participating Reich Minister now always also bore the co-signature of the Reich Minister and head of the Reich Chancellery, who thus assumed responsibility for the proper course of the legislative process. After the establishment of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Reich at the end of August 1939, the signature of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Reich was also necessary in second place behind that of Hitler. In addition, the head of the Reich Chancellery also signed all the Führer decrees with legislative content and, if necessary - which never occurred - the Reichstag laws and the laws enacted on the basis of the "Volksgesetzgebung" (People's Legislation). The increasing workload of Hitler, who in addition to the powers of the Reich Chancellor and the Reich President also exercised supreme command over the Wehrmacht, meant that the cabinet meetings gradually ceased. In addition, the Reich Chancellor, who could no longer be informed by the Reich Ministers united in the cabinet about the completion of individual tasks in the departments, was increasingly dependent on information from the head of the Reich Chancellery. The task of selecting from the wealth of information supplied and processed those suitable for presentation to the Reich Chancellor and of deciding whether Hitler's intervention in certain matters appeared necessary was therefore the responsibility of the head of the Reich Chancellery, who granted him another key position in the leadership apparatus of the state civilian sector. The Reichsminister also had the opportunity to give individual lectures directly to the Reich Chancellor. But Hitler also made less and less use of this, so that the head of the Reich Chancellery practically advised him alone, which strengthened his position vis-à-vis the specialist ministers, who tried in vain to reach certain agreements among themselves through private meetings, especially towards the end of the war. The office of the Reich President, renamed "Präsidialkanzlei" and renamed "Präsidialkanzlei des Führers und Reichskanzlers" by decree of the Führer and Reich Chancellor of 1 December 1937, remained responsible for the handling of all matters concerning the head of state even after the merger of the offices of the Reich President and the Reich Chancellor.B. the preparation of ceremonial receptions of foreign heads of state, princes and statesmen, the receipt of letters of attestation and recall from foreign diplomats, congratulations and condolences from the head of state, the processing of petitions in matters of grace and the entire title and religious order system. On the other hand, the political affairs in which, in addition to the decision of the Reich government, the decision of the head of the Reich was also necessary, were now taken care of by the Reich Chancellery, as was the preparation of political decisions, which up to then had to be made by the head of state, such as the enactment of organizational decrees, which were now the sole responsibility of the Reich Chancellery. Although the documents of appointment and dismissal for the higher Reich officials were still to be submitted to Hitler for execution by the office of the head of state, i.e. now by the head of the presidential chancellery, the responsible ministers and the Reich Chancellery were responsible for the factual and political preparation. Inventory description: Inventory history The day after the Reich Chancellery was established, on 19 May 1878, the expediting secretary in the Foreign Office, Hans Rudolf Sachse, who shortly afterwards began his service as a registrar in the new Reich authority, presented the draft of a registry order for the Reich Chancellery to the lecturing council of Tiedemann. His "basic features for the book and file keeping at the Reich Chancellery" were obviously based on the experience of the Foreign Office's records administration. The records were initially stored loosely in shelves in the registry, probably lying from the outset in the provided and already inscribed file covers. If a file unit had reached a thickness of 2 - 3 cm, it was provided with a linen back and another dust jacket and formed into a tape by means of thread stitching. This organisation of written records proved to be sufficient and practicable for a long series of years. With the gradual further development of the functions and activities of the Reich Chancellery, and as a result of the development of constitutional law and administrative organization in the Reich and in the federal states, however, it had to appear in need of change over time. At the turn of the century it was therefore decided to introduce a more differentiated file system, which came into force on 1 January 1900. The state's new beginning on 13 February 1919, the day on which Cabinet Scheidemann took office, brought a continuous cut in the registry of the Reich Chancellery. The entire file inventory was transferred to the old filing system and new files were created. The 30th of January meant a noticeable, but not sharp cut in the records administration of the Reich Chancellery. In order to start a new filing layer on this day, numerous files were removed from the current filing system, stapled and repositioned in the old filing system. They were replaced by new volumes. However, this only happened if the running band was filled to some extent anyway; if this was not the case, it was continued. In any case, the band counting began again with the number 1, although the series from the Weimar period continued seamlessly. The file structure, however, was left unchanged, and thread-stitching generally remained the same; standing files were used for the first time only for newly created series. In addition to the files kept in the registry, other records were also handed down by the fact that the Reich Chancellors and senior officials of the Reich Chancellery did not have handwritten records, personal papers, and a large part of their private correspondence filed in the registry, but as a rule kept them in their offices. It was not uncommon for such documents to be taken along when leaving office. Thus the estates of the Reich Chancellors Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, Bülow, Hertling and Luther as well as of the chiefs of the Reich Chancellery Rottenburg and Pünder, which are kept in the Federal Archives, almost regularly contain official or semi-official documents in addition to private records, which have arisen from the exercise of official functions. The fact that the files of the Lammers Minister's Office have remained in the inventory is a consequence of their joint outsourcing with the inventory towards the end of the Second World War. In other cases, files of Reich Chancellors and senior officials with material on specific issues, with documents for conferences, meetings, etc., were handed over to the registry for safekeeping as soon as they were no longer needed and assigned to the relevant subject series as supplements. As a result, such hand files are scattered over the inventory, e.g. the hand files for the series "Execution of the Peace Treaty, Reparations" in the group "Foreign Affairs". The secret files of the Reich Chancellery formed another complex of documents separate from the registry holdings, the content, scope and structure of which unfortunately are not known in detail. According to the information available in the Federal Archives, they were probably burned before the end of the war by members of the Reich Chancellery in accordance with the decree of the Reich Minister of the Interior to the Reich Defence Commissioners of 12 October 1944 concerning "Behaviour of the Authorities in the Event of Enemy Occupation"[85] Individual fragments of secret files, which probably accidentally escaped annihilation and were in the inventory, were listed in the present find book at the end of the section "Files of the Minister's Office". In Potsdam, with a few exceptions, there are those old files of the Reich Chancellery from the period 1878 - 1919 which had been removed from the current registry in mid-February 1919 and deposited in an old file file. The Reichsarchiv had only been able to take it over in 1937 or 1938, after earlier efforts in vain. Only the old files of the service administration, including the personnel files, remained in the Authority. During the Second World War, the holdings of the Reich Archives, together with other archival materials, were moved to the Staßfurt salt mine near Magdeburg, where they fell into the hands of the Red Army in 1945. It was taken to the Soviet Union and 10 years later, in July 1955, handed over to the German Central Archive (renamed the "Central State Archive of the GDR" in 1973) in Potsdam. There it formed the inventory 07. 01. The inventory division into four departments was retained. In addition to the former Reichsarchiv holdings, the Central State Archives also kept about 800 individual records of the registry from the years 1933 - 1945, which were presumably found in the Wilhelmstraße office building. The majority of the Reichskanzleiakten from the years 1919 - 1945 as well as the old files of the office administration had been in Berlin only until the last phase of the war. As the situation in and around Berlin worsened, they were relocated to southern Germany, where they were confiscated by American troops in 1945. Via the Ministerial Collecting Center in Hessisch-Lichtenau and Fürstenhagen near Kassel, the central collection point for all material found by the Americans in their occupation zone[90], they reached the Berlin Documents Unit at the beginning of 1946. Here they - like other German files stored there - were evaluated for investigations against leading personalities from the state, the party and other areas of public life in preparation for war crimes trials. During the Berlin blockade in the summer of 1948, the files united in the Documents Unit were transferred to Whaddon Hall near Bletchley in the southern English county of Buckinghamshire. The files of the Reich Chancellery were stored there until 1958 and were provisionally arranged, recorded and selected for filming. In addition to the tradition of the Federal Foreign Office, which is primarily relevant, they also served as the basis for the edition of files on German foreign policy, which was initially edited exclusively by Anglo-Saxon and French historians. These files finally reached the Federal Archives in two transports in December 1958 and January 1959, a remainder at the end of April 1959. Here they form the listed holdings R 43 I, II. Archivische Bearbeitung During the provisional arrangement and indexing of the files of the Reich Chancellery from the years 1919 - 1945 in Whaddon Hall, the editors proceeded from two partial holdings. One of them essentially covered the tradition of the Weimar period, the other mainly the files from the period after 30 January 1933; they were briefly referred to as the "Old" and "New" Reich Chancelleries. As mentioned above, this division had already taken place in January/February 1933 in the Reich Chancellery and had been maintained during the relocation of the files during the war and after their confiscation. In the course of the processing, it was refrained from restoring the consistent arrangement of the file groups in both partial holdings, e.g. according to the alphabet of the group titles as they had existed in the registry of the Reich Chancellery. Only the registry connections within the groups that were presumably largely lost due to frequent relocations of the holdings were taken into account, whereby errors and mistakes were often made due to a lack of familiarity with the registry relationships and the file management of the Reich Chancellery. Nevertheless, it was possible to restore the mass of files to their original order with the help of the old signatures and tape numbers. Less satisfactorily, the classification of the not insignificant remnant of the tradition was resolved, which consisted of files of the minister's office, hand files of officials, secret file fragments, volumes with collections of circulars, circulars and press cuttings, registration aids, etc. Materials of this kind came to various places, especially at the end of both parts of the stock. In each part of the collection, the volumes were numbered consecutively. The distortion was also differentiated between the two partial stocks. The sequential number, the old signature and the runtime were included as formal specifications. In order to identify the contents of the file, the serial title was taken from the inscription of the file as the subject of the thread-stitched volumes, i.e. above all the files of the older part. In the case of standing folders, on the other hand, the titles of the individual transactions were entered in the list, as far as Rotuli was available with the corresponding information, and the subject series title was usually dispensed with. As a result, two very different lists were drawn up in terms of their degree of resolution. In the Federal Archives, these directories served for a long time as exclusive finding aids. This meant that the division into two parts, R 43 I (Old Reich Chancellery) and R 43 II (New Reich Chancellery), was retained. The consecutive numbering carried out in Waddon Hall also remained unchanged, since the files had already frequently been quoted in scientific publications afterwards. For conservation reasons, however, the documents stored in standing files and folders had to be transferred to archive folders; as a rule, two or three or sometimes more volumes were formed from the contents of one folder. This was necessary in order to separate files from various subject series that had been united in the Reich Chancellery and to form handy, not too extensive volumes. The volumes formed from the documents of a standing file, however, retained its serial number and were distinguished by the addition of letters (a, b, c, etc.). Within the volumes, the delimitation of the processes from each other, which had previously been recognizable by filing them in hanging binders, was marked by the insertion of separator sheets. On the other hand it turned out that 84 volumes from R 43 I and 205 volumes from R 43 II could not be separated and destroyed. The largest part (125 volumes) concerned the administration of the Aid Fund and the Disposition Fund of the Reich Chancellor; it consisted of individual files on the acceptance and use of donations from private sources, on the granting or refusal of support, other donations or gifts of honour to private individuals, associations and federations in emergencies, birthdays, anniversaries, events and on the occasion of the assumption of honorary sponsorships by the Reich Chancellor. The corresponding activity of the Reich Chancellery is already documented by several series in the groups "Reich Chancellor" and "Welfare" as well as by a number of files of the minister's office. The second largest group of documents collected (about 120 volumes) were files of the service administration. They mainly contained cash documents, invoices and receipts, company offers, correspondence with individual companies about deliveries and services for the Reich Chancellery as well as irrelevant documents about various house matters. The rest of the non-archival material consisted of volumes with multiple traditions and collections of official printed matter, in a few cases volumes containing only individual transmission letters. Finally, 44 volumes with documents of foreign provenances were removed from the holdings and assigned to other holdings, in some cases also to places outside the house. The majority of the documents are from the Community of Student Associations, which Reichsminister Dr. Lammers managed and whose business he had led through his office. Details are given in the Annex. The maps and plans, which were taken from the files for conservation reasons, were combined in the map archive to an independent group "Plan R 43 II". These are in particular planning breaks for the new building from the years 1943 ff. They are indexed by a separate index. The holdings of the Central State Archives (07.01) and the Federal Archives (R 43) were merged into holdings R 43 following the merger of the two archives in 1990. For the files of the Reich Chancellery from the years 1919 to 1945, a publication index was available since 1984, which also takes into account the files of this epoch kept in the Central State Archives until 1990. For the files of the "Old Reich Chancellery" (1878-1919), the Central State Archives had a finding aid book that had already been compiled in the Reich Archives. In addition to the files of the "old" Reich Chancellery from the years 1878 - 1918 described since January 2005 with an online find book (editor: Mr. Hollmann), those of the so-called "new" Reich Chancellery for the years 1919 - 1945 were also added in September 2006 (editor: Simone Walther). Because of the recording of the approx. 10,000 archive units in three different signature systems or partial inventories at that time, there were some database-technical peculiarities to consider. A re-signing of the microfilmed files for easier integration as closed holdings in the database of the Federal Archives was out of the question for various archival reasons. The units of description (files) identified with various text programs in the 1984 Publication Findbuch were imported into the database using a retroco-version procedure. Three so-called partial or secondary stocks were created, which differ from each other by their signature system. In the earlier distortion, the editors formed tape series or series that very often consisted of two or three of the "partial stocks". In the database, however, it is technically not possible to create such a tape or series across all stocks. The presentation of the series and volume series in the now available online finding aid required the relatively time-consuming "manual" merging of the various parts of a volume sequence in the cross-folder classification scheme (classification). In such a volume series, the volume sequence title appears repeatedly within the volume sequence before the volume or the volumes from another "partial stock". Since the creation of series, partly with additional subordinate volume sequences from different partial stocks, was just as impossible to implement, the corresponding information was partly recorded in supplementary classification points. As a rule, however, the structure handed down in the Publication Findbuch has been retained and the units of description have been classified according to their order. In the course of the processing, the signatures displayed incorrectly or incompletely in the printed finding aids could be corrected. A revision of the directory data according to the now valid archive rules did not seem to be necessary due to the very high effort involved. Minor corrections were made to the titles. Dates in titles that did not belong directly to the title were moved from there to the differentiated runtime field. Citation style: BArch, R 43/...

Reich Group Industry (Inventory)

History of the Inventory Designer: The "Gesetz zur Vorbereitung des organischen Aufbaus der deutschen Wirtschaft" of 27 Feb. 1934 "Wiederaufbaugesetz" (RGBl I 1934 p. 185f) created the legal basis for the reorganisation of the previous free association system. § 1 of the law authorized the Reich Minister of Economics: 1. to recognize trade associations as sole representatives of their branch of industry 2. to establish, dissolve or unite trade associations 3. to amend and supplement statutes and articles of association of trade associations, in particular to introduce the Führergrundsatz 4. to appoint and dismiss the leaders of trade associations and 5. to connect entrepreneurs and enterprises to trade associations. The organisational structure of the Organisation of Trade and Commerce (OGW), announced by Reich Economics Minister Schmitt on 13 March 1934, provided for a division of the economy into twelve main groups, seven of which were for the various branches of industry: I Mining, iron and metal extraction II Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, optics, precision engineering III Iron, sheet metal and metal goods industry IV Stones and earths, wood, construction, glass and ceramics industry V Chemical, paper and paper processing industry VI Leather, textile and clothing industry VII Food industry. The First Regulation for the Implementation of the Law of Feb. 1934 (RGBl I 1934 p. 1194) issued by the Reich Minister of Economics on 27 Nov. 1934 eliminated this fragmentation of industry by combining the seven groups in the Reich Group Industry, into which the Reichsstand/Reichsverband der Deutschen Industrie was transferred by order of the Reich Minister of Economics on 12 Jan. 1935. The other main groups VIII Handwerk, IX Handel, X Banken and XI Versicherungen also became empire groups. The Reich Group Industry was at the same time part of the organization of the commercial economy, which was subordinate to the Reich Ministry of Economics. Together with the other groups of the Empire - crafts, commerce, banks, insurance companies, the energy industry, tourism (technical) and the chambers of commerce (regional) - it formed the subdivision of the Reich Economic Chamber. It was subdivided according to districts into 26 industrial departments, which established the link between the Reich Group Industry and the industrial enterprises. The individual specialist substructure of the Reich's industrial group was formed by the economic groups, which were recognised by an order of the Reich Minister of Economics as the sole representatives of their branch of industry. The companies operating in their respective fields were members of these groups, and the Reichsgruppe Industrie itself had no individual members. In 1941 the management of the Reich Group consisted of the following 13 departments under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer Dr. Karl Guth Abt. I Organisation and Law Abt. II Internal Administration, Transportation, Trade, Water and Administrative Law, Jewish Legislation Abt. III Taxes Abt. IV Foreign Trade Abt. V Sales Promotion, Patents, Samples and Symbols Abt. VI Defense Economics, Raw Materials Management, Industrial Development Division VII Air Security, Industrial Security and Industrial Protection, Colonial Affairs Division VIII Market Organisation and Business Administration Division IX Anti-Trust Supervision Division X Social Economy Division XI Industrial Quality Work Division XII Banking, Credit and Financial Affairs, Community Aid, Private Insurance Division XIII Statistics and Economic Observation Affiliated Services: Export Community for War Equipment (AGK) From January 6, 1944, the following new structure applied: General Department for Industrial Departments Department Z Internal Administration, Budget, Community Aid, Insurance Issues Department I Organization and Law Department II Internal Economy (Raw Materials Management, General Production, Defense Economics, Water and Energy, Transport, Eastern European Economy, Technical Department Department Department Department). III Market Organization and Business Administration Abt. IV Taxes and Financial Matters Abt. V Social Economy, War Damage Abt. VI Foreign Trade Abt. VI Industrial Carriages, Trade Fairs and Exhibitions, Advertising Abt. VII Aircraft Safety Abt. VIII Statistics and Economic Observation Affiliated: Until Dec. 1934: Gustav Krupp von Bohlen-Halbach from Dec. 1934: Ewald Hecker, Head of the Reich Economic Chamber 1935: Ernst Trendelenburg, Chairman of the Supervisory Boards of Vereinigte Industrie-Unternehmnungen AG and Reichskreditgesellschaft AG from Dec. 1934: Ewald Hecker, Head of the Reich Economic Chamber 1935: Ernst Trendelenburg, Chairman of the Supervisory Boards of Vereinigte Industrie-Unternehmnungen AG and Reichskreditgesellschaft AG from Dec. 1934: Gustav Krupp von Bohlen-Halbach from Dec. 1934: Ewald Hecker, Head of the Reich Economic Chamber 1935: Ernst Trendelenburg, Chairman of the Supervisory Boards of Vereinigte Industrie-Unternehmnungen AG and Reichskreditgesellschaft AG from Dec. 1934: Ernst Trendelenburg, Chairman of the Supervisory Boards of Vereinigte Industrie-Unternehmnungen AG and Reichskreditgesellschaft AG. 1936: Gottfried Dierig, Christian Dierig AG and Head of the Industry Economic Group from Nov. 1938: Wilhem Zangen, General Director of Mannesmann-Röhrenwerke In addition to the advisory board provided for by law, the so-called Great Advisory Board and numerous committees acted as advisory bodies for the Reich Group. In addition to the members of the advisory council, the heads of the economic groups and industrial departments as well as the chairmen of the 24 (1941) committees belonged to the Grand Advisory Board. The management of the committees was the responsibility of the relevant departments. Inventory description: Inventory history The largest part of the files of the inventory R 12 I Reichsgruppe Industrie originates from a complex of documents which was created after 1945 by the American occupation authorities in the Ministerial Collecting Center (MCC) in Hessisch-Lichtenau and Fürstenhagen. On behalf of the Americans, the files collected there were opened up and processed by German officials and employees in so-called working groups or sections. In this way, the working group XIX Economic Organization (Section Economics Organization) dealt with files of the Reich Economic Chamber and the Reich Industry Group. Via the Administrative Office for Economics in Minden and later the Administrative Office for Economics in Frankfurt/M., the documents finally came into the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of Economics in Duisdorf in 1951 in a strongly decimated form, and were then handed over to the Federal Archives in June 1952 after an initial inspection, pre-arrangement and separation of non-archival documents. In 1962 a further 128 volumes were taken over from the Berlin Document Center. Archival evaluation and processing The documents taken over from the Federal Ministry of Economics in 1952 were examined in 1966 and 1968 respectively by Archive Inspector A. Wagener (part 1) and Archivinspektor A. Loos (part 2), and provisional archive directories have been drawn up. Part 1 mainly contained documents from Divisions V Social Economy, VIII Statistics and Economic Observation and Z Community Aid to Enterprises. Part 2 was a collection of reference files of the deputy head of department of Abt. V Sozialwirtschaft and head of the war damages department Dr. Wilhelm Reuss. The files taken over from the Berlin Document Center in 1962 were processed in 1977 and listed as Part 3. Since the files were largely disorganized and often several subjects were in one volume without any factual connection, a complete reorganization and reshaping of volumes/volume sequences was necessary. In terms of content, these files also mainly concerned the Dept. V Social Economy. The revision of the holdings in 2009 using the Bundesarchiv's Basys-S directory database primarily involved the dissolution of the three existing partial holdings and the classification of the holdings as a whole. The hand files of Dr. Reuss, previously summarized as Part 2, now form, with a few exceptions, the War Material Damage Settlement Classification Group. The listing information from the previous provisional lists was largely taken over without further examination of individual files. In individual cases, however, adjustments had to be made to excessively long file titles and confusing content notes. Content characterisation: Mainly documents of the departments V Social Economy, VIII Statistics and Economic Observation, Z Community Assistance to the Economy and a collection of reference files of the deputy head of the department V Social Economy and head of the war damage department Dr. Wilhelm Reuss are available.

Preliminary remark: The contents of the present repertory are files of the Royal Cabinet, which were handed over to the State Archives with two summary indexes after the Revolution. Since these lists proved to be insufficient, a new, extensive repertory was created. The original collection has been preserved in its entirety, with the exception of a few insignificant fascicles, not listed in the old registers, which have been excreted; they have remained essentially in their original order; only in a few places has it been modified in favour of a more summarised or systematic classification.

Preliminary remark: The beginnings of the Württemberg legation in the Netherlands are closely linked to the history of the Subsidy Regiment Württemberg. After Duke Karl Eugen had made the regiment - generally known as the Cape or Indian Regiment - available to the Dutch East India Company, he sent the Captain of Penasse to Holland in November 1787 to take care of matters relating to subsidies. The authorized representative was at first temporarily, since the middle of the year 1788 permanently present in Middelburg. Among his successors the mission to the legation in The Hague expanded. After the suicide of the envoy of von Hügel in 1805, it remained vacant for more than two years before a Württemberg envoy was again accredited to the king's court in July 1807. With the occupation of Dutch territory by French troops, Württemberg's diplomatic representation in the Netherlands was also abolished, and in September 1814, following the formation of the Kingdom of the United Netherlands, another envoy was sent to The Hague; however, the Consul General in Rotterdam, August Freiherr von Wächter, also served as the diplomatic representative until 1816. Until 1830, the seat of the legation changed between Utrecht, Amsterdam, Brussels and The Hague, depending on where the court was located. Due to the political changes in 1848, the Württemberg embassy in the Netherlands was abolished and the remaining tasks were transferred to the Württemberg consulate in the Netherlands. The representatives of Württemberg in the Netherlands were:Captain of Penasse, Chargé d'Affaires, 1787 - 1798Contamine, Chargé d'Affaires, 1798 - 1799Johann Christian Friedrich Freiherr von Hügel, Ministerresident, April 1799 - January 1805 Freiherr von Harmensen, extraordinary envoy and minister, July 1807 - September 1807Freiherr von Steube, extraordinary envoy and minister, October 1807 - February 1808Graf von Dürckheim-Montmartin, extraordinary envoy and authorized minister, February 1808 - September 1808Freiherr von Steube, extraordinary envoy and authorized minister, September 1808 - June 1810Freiherr Gremp von Freudenstein, extraordinary and authorized minister, October 1814 - April 1815August von Wächter, Consul General, Chargé d'Affaires, Prime Minister, April 1815 - October 1839Freiherr von Linden, appointed on 15 October 1808 - September 1808Freiberr von Steube, extraordinary envoy and authorized minister, September 1808 - June 1810August von Wächter, Consul General, Chargé d'Affaires, Prime Minister, April 1815 - October 1839Freiherr von Linden, appointed on 15 December 1818181839 October 1815, not accredited after his appointmentFreiherr von Reinhardt, Ministerresident, c. 1843Freiherr von Pfeil, Ministerresident, 1844 - 1848.the "Legation Archive" was brought to Stuttgart by Baron von Neuffer after Hügel's death and partly handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, partly to the War College. In May 1807, the Legation Secretaries von Seeger and von Münch were instructed to record the files that had not yet been catalogued and to reunite the separate parts. Since the concept books left behind by Hügel were kept in chronological order, von Seeger refrained from ordering them by subject and formed chronological series. He made copies for the War Collegium of important processes concerning matters of subsidies. In July 1807, the newly appointed envoy of Harmensen took over the embassy registry in this state, and the order of registration created under von Seeger was not to be retained for the future. However, a comprehensive reorganization could not be carried out at first due to the change of envoys and legation secretaries. Only lists of new files were drawn up. It was not until March 1808 that the Legation Secretary of Münch was able to complete the necessary reorganization of the registry. The directories created by Seeger also received new signatures. The registry scheme designed by Münch with 10 group and one general fascicle was retained or extended for the following period. In the last decade of the Württemberg legation, however, more and more business technical series such as "Miszellaneen, Allerhand, Unerledigte Angelegenheiten, Varia u.a." were produced, so that these titles finally occupied one third of the stock. after the dissolution of the legation, the files were brought to Stuttgart, incorporated into the registry of the Foreign Ministry and handed over with documents of this provenance to the Haus- und Staatsarchiv around 1870. They comprised the inventories (=delivery) 42 and 43 of inventory E 70 legation files. The original handwritten repertories are now only available in a transcript made with a typewriter, and in 1976 the mixed holdings were revised to extract the written material from the legation in The Hague. The separation of the archival records and their assignment to the A and E groups, in accordance with the classification of the Main State Archives, was dispensed with, since the documents recorded for the first time in 1807 are closely related to the subsequent ones as preliminary files. For this reason, the series - concept books, relations and correspondences - were placed in front of the holdings when organizing the holdings. At the end of the factual exercises, the inputs and uses follow. They were taken over unchanged by indices because of their good development and extended by two additional tufts, so that they now make up more than a third of the stock. This can be explained by the research connected with the decline of the Cape Regiment. As a valuable supplement to the new indexing, reference is expressly made to the fully preserved registry aids. Until the introduction of the business diaries in September 1814, the events were recorded on the fascicle envelopes. The envelopes now form, exclusively III (Bü 126) and IV (Bü 129) Büschel 85, the following business daysÜbücher (1814 - 1848) Büschel 86. The previously valid archive signatures E 70 Verz. 42 and 43 with subsequent Büschel or Faszikelnummer were included in the data fields Vorsignaturen. The files of the Württemberg legation in The Hague cover the period 1787 - 1851. They document in a special way the consequences of the subsidy agreement concluded in the 18th century with the Dutch East Indian Company and the relationship between two states whose courts were related to each other. Further documents of the same subject which have grown up with other Württemberg authorities can be found in the Main State Archives mainly in the holdings A 33 Württembergisches Kapregiment and A 117 Netherlands. The stock now comprises 219 tufts in 4.1 linear metres. It was recorded and ordered by Walter Wannenwetsch from February to April 1976 as part of the training under the guidance of Oberarchivrat Dr. Cordes.Stuttgart 1976gez. Walter Wannenwetsch The completion of the present finding aid was carried out with the help of data processing on the basis of the MIDOSA program package of the State Archive Administration of Baden-Württemberg in the period from January to May 1988. At the same time as the inclusion of the title, the index terms were recorded, with a view to a later general index, separated into a place index, a person index and a subject index. The re-indexing as well as the input took place in the context of the training by the archive inspectors Corinna Pfisterer and Regina Keyler under guidance of the undersigned.
