1 History of the authorities In the course of the wars of liberation, the Wroclaw Convention of 19 March 1813 formed a Board of Directors consisting of two German and two Russian members. This committee was headed by the baron from and to the stone, who is in Russian service. He was to take over the administration of the areas to be conquered in northern Germany, but his activities were effectively limited to Mecklenburg, Saxony and for a short time to some small Thuringian states. Since the Allied Powers had defined the tasks only without obligation and hardly supported his activities, he was unable to meet the expectations placed in him. For this reason, renewed negotiations took place between the Allies, which resulted in a new agreement. On 21.10.1813 the Leipzig Convention was concluded by the allied powers Austria, Russia, Prussia, Great Britain and Sweden. This agreement created the Central Administrative Department and dissolved the Central Administrative Council. Stein was again appointed head of the Central Department. The headquarters of the administration was located at the headquarters of the Allied Powers, first in Frankfurt am Main and later in Paris. The Central Administrative Department was responsible for the administration of the Kingdom of Saxony and the territories of the conquered Napoleonic satellite states (Kingdom of Westphalia, Grand Duchy of Berg, Grand Duchy of Frankfurt). Other Rhine Confederation states remained outside the authority's sphere of influence, as the princes concerned moved to the Allied camp in good time. The main tasks of the Central Administrative Department included: - Ensuring the supply of the troops of the Allied Powers in the administered territories - Contributions to the war costs of the Allied Powers through cash payments and supplies from the administered territories - Implementation of the national armament and installation of the land storm - Supervision of the national administration by the authorities of the administered territories during the transitional period. To carry out these tasks at regional level, several Generalgouvernements have been set up in the administered areas. The Generalgouvernements were subordinate to the Central Administrative Department and bound by Stein's instructions. To support the governors-general, councils were set up in the individual provinces to which nationals of the areas concerned, as well as some non-national civil servants, belonged. Existing administrations and authorities were largely used to carry out the administrative tasks. The following Generalgouvernements were formed: - Generalgouvernement Sachsen o Headquarters: Dresden o Governor General: initially Nikolai Grigorjewitsch Repnin-Wolkonski (1778-1845), Russian General - Generalgouvernement Berg o Headquarters: Düsseldorf o Governor General: first Justus von Gruner (1770-1820), then Prince Alexander von Solms-Lich - Generalgouvernement Frankfurt o Administrative seat: Frankfurt/Main - Generalgouvernement between Weser and Rhine o Administrative seat: Münster o Governor General: Ludwig von Vincke (1774-1844) - Generalgouvernement Mittelrhein (from 1814) o Administrative seat: Trier (later Koblenz, respectively. Mainz) o Governor General: Justus von Gruner - Generalgouvernement Niederrhein (from 1814) o Headquarters: Aachen o Governor General: Johann August Sack (1764-1831). In a position as head of the Central Department, Stein tried to work towards the political transformation of Germany. A number of draft constitutions and correspondence on various constitutional and constitutional issues bear witness to these efforts, which, however, did not lead to any tangible results due to the Allies' incipient restoration policy. After the conclusion of the First Paris Peace on 30.05.1814 the tasks of the Central Administrative Department were fulfilled and its dissolution followed. The managed areas have been handed over to the civilian administrative authorities. As late as 1814, one of Stein's closest associates, Johann Albrecht Friedrich von Eichhorn, wrote a publication that can be regarded as an account of the activities of the Central Administrative Department. 2 History of the holdings Unfortunately it is not possible to provide more detailed information on the history of the holdings, e.g. the time when the documents were taken over by the Secret State Archives of the PK. The original find book was recorded and compiled by the archivist Robert Arnold, who worked in the Secret State Archives from 1884-1891 and 1901-1910. After the Second World War, the holdings returned to the German Central Archive in Merseburg as a result of outsourcing and German division and, after reunification, to the Secret State Archive PK. The holdings search book was retroconverted in 2011 and 2012 by the archive employee 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. As part of the distortion, the inventory was re-signed (conversion of the signature schema to Numerus currens). In order to make it easier to use the old signatures, which are no longer in use, a concordance was added to the search book. 3 References to other holdings and literature references 3.1 Holdings in the Secret State Archive PK 3.1.1 Generalgouvernement Sachsen - GStA PK, I.

History of the Inventory Designer: Mirbach's Telegrafisches Büro (MTB) was founded at the beginning of the 20th century in the Rhineland as a small news agency by the editor Mirbach. Together with Professor Arthur Jung, he owned the "International Telegraph Agency (ITA)" in Cologne until November 1920. After separating from his cooperation partner Jung, Mirbach initially resumed work in his former correspondence office. The situation in the German Reich at that time played an important role in the further development of the MTB. After the defeat of the Imperial German Empire in World War I, the newly created Saar region, consisting of the southern part of the Rhine Province as well as the Saarpfalz and the western part of the Bavarian Palatinate, was separated from the German Empire by the territorial provisions of the Treaty of Versailles. In 1920 it was placed under French administration with a mandate from the League of Nations. The occupation of the Saar region by French troops was accompanied by the spread of French propaganda (1). This was mainly due to the purchase of some German newspapers, such as the "Südwestdeutsche Abendzeitung" by the French military administration (2). Renamed "Neuer Saar Kurier", the newspaper now appeared bilingual and was supplied with information by French news services. The German Reich government and the Foreign Office felt compelled to counteract France's efforts to separate the Palatinate. Similar efforts of the occupying powers could also be observed in the other ceded territories of Alsace-Lorraine, Rhineland, Eupen-Malmedy, Posen, North Schleswig, in parts of Upper Silesia and in the border regions. In order to counteract the propaganda of the occupying powers, the Reich government agreed to the proposal of the publishing director Kristian Kraus to create an intelligence service that would supply the ceded and occupied as well as the border regions with news from the German Reich. Kraus had been organizing the intelligence service for the Saar region and occupied areas of the Rhineland on behalf of the Reich government since 1919. This intelligence service should be further developed. Mirbach's telegraphic office was considered at that time to be the "management of the Rheinische Korrespondenz"(3). Kraus was interested in taking over the MTB, as he explains in a letter to the press department of the Reich government. After the negotiations between Kraus, Mirbach and the government the MTB was integrated into the "Reichsstelle zur Versorgung der besetzten und abgetretenen deutschen Gebiete mit deutschen Nachrichten". From 1920 to 1929, Kraus was the managing director and literary director of this Reich office, also known as the "Allgemeines Politisches Informationsbüro G.m.b.H." (General Political Information Office G.b.H.), based in Berlin (4). At the same time, the news agency Polwona was founded, also managed by Kraus, which opened several branches in the occupied and ceded German territories (5). These news agencies were outwardly issued as private-sector enterprises, but were financially dependent on the Reich. Daily messages were transmitted by telephone from Berlin to the Polwona branches. These were established in Frankfurt am Main (Frankfurter Depeschenbüro), Mannheim (Oberrheinisches Nachrichtenbüro), Saarbrücken (Saarkorrespondenz), Cologne (Mirbachs Telegraphisches Büro), Königsberg (Norel - Ost Korrespondenz) and Flensburg (Korrespondenzbüro Nordschleswig) (6). From there, the news was forwarded to the provincial press in the area. Thus the citizens in the occupied or ceded territories remained informed about politics, economy and current issues in the German Reich and were also strengthened in their sense of belonging to the German Reich. In return, the branches had the task of sending news from the occupied territories to Berlin, in particular interviews with important representatives of the occupying powers.

The inventory signature there was 61 Mi 1. With the transfer to the Federal Archives, the inventory signature was changed to R 8028. Archive processing In the course of the processing of the inventory, a finding index was created in the Central State Archives of the GDR, on the basis of which the present finding aid book with the database BASYS-S was compiled. The existing classification has been adopted. In the course of processing, series and tape sequences were created. After the inspection of the files some editorial and contentwise revisions at the data records already existing in BASYS -S were made. There were no cassations or additions.
