The files of the Württemberg - Hohenzollern district administration of the National Socialist Teachers' Association were sent, albeit incompletely, after the Second World War to the Document Center in Berlin and from there via the Federal Archives to the Ludwigsburg State Archives, where they were formed into their own holdings under the signature PL 516. Content and Evaluation During the Third Reich, the National Socialist Teachers' Association (NSLB), founded in 1929 as a fighting organization for National Socialist educators, developed into the sole teacher organization in the course of the gradual dissolution of the traditional teacher associations, with the task of aligning all teachers in the National Socialist sense, among other things by means of courses, camps and training camps. The NSLB was an affiliated association of the NSDAP. His complicated organizational structure and his increasingly out-of-control financial system led him into a crisis that worsened during the Second World War. In 1943, the NS teachers' association was "shut down" on the instructions of the party chancellery and thus effectively dissolved. Between 1981 and 1990, Dr. Wolfgang Schmierer, Dr. Günter Cordes and Dr. Herwig John recorded about 4/5 of the inventory, excluding duplicates, reminders, receipts, etc. - a total of about 3.5 metres of shelving. The correspondence files were summarized in group correspondence with authorities, with the NSDAP and its divisions, with the district administrations the NS teacher federation. The confused membership card index, which now constitutes the third part of the stock, was again sorted alphabetically by Werkschüler Rainer Hornung. Between May 2004 and February 2007, Dr. Carl-Jochen Müller allocated or distorted the remaining holdings in the course of a project financed by the Stiftung Kulturgut to index the holdings group PL 501-523. The focus of the preserved documents is on the varied correspondence with the district administrations; the social services as well as the exhibition activities and student competitions are also relatively well documented.
