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.

The collection "Landratsamt Monschau mit der Signatur BR 0036" covers the period between 1816 and 1972 and consists of 433 files arranged according to subject areas. In the years 1887 and 1941, files from the Monschau District Office were taken over by the HSA Düsseldorf. The district of Monschau was formed in 1816 from the municipalities of Eicherscheid, Höfen, Imgenbroich, Kalterherberg, Kesternich, Konzen, Lammersdorf, Monschau, Mützenich, Roetgen, Rohren, Rott, Ruhrberg (later Rurberg), Schmidt, Simmerath, Steckenborn, Strauch, Vossenack and Zweifall. Monschau was at the same time the district town. Later these churches were divided into the following five ministries: Amt Imgenbroich (Eicherscheid. Imgenbroich, Konzen and Mützenich), Amt Kalterherberg (Kalterherberg, Höfen, Rohre), Amt Kesternich (Kesternich, Rurberg, Schmidt, Steckenborn, Strauch), Amt Roetgen (Roetgen, Rott, Zweifall), Amt Simmerath (Simmerath, Lammersdorf, Vossenack). Previously the district was called Montjoie and has only since 1918 the today's name Monschau. Until 1945 the district of Monschau belonged to the Prussian administrative district of Aachen in the Rhine province. From 1945 the district belonged to the British occupation zone and from 1946 to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In 1949, the district of Monschau changed to the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which belonged to the administrative district of Aachen. In 1972 the district of Monschau was dissolved in the course of the municipal restructuring and almost completely integrated into the district of Aachen. The Monschau District Office had a double function. As an actual organ of the administrative district the office had to fulfill tasks of the country and the national administration. The holdings of the Monschau District Office include subjects such as district administration, municipal administration, construction, immigration and emigration, railways, fishing, forestry, agriculture, melioration, health care, military, trade and commerce, churches, police and schools. The files are to be ordered and quoted with indication of the inventory signature and current no., e.g. BR 0036 No. 72 Literature: Pilgram, Hans: Der Landkreis Monschau, Bonn 1958.

- description: - The present estate of the parliamentarian and mayor of Berlin, Maximilian (Max) von Forckenbeck, was transferred in several accessions to the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage. The first part (no. 68-106) was handed over in 1925 (exc. 27/1925) to the Secret State Archives of Mrs. Liesbeth v. Forckenbeck (née Hagen) and the second part in 1926 (no. 114 and no. 107-109) also from the Forckenbeck family from Berlin as a deposit (exc. 191/1926). In the year 1926 (Akz. 259/1926) the lawyer Walter von Simson from Berlin deposited the numbers 110-112 and 115 (?) in the GSTA. In the year 1977 (Akz. 49/1977) then the numbers 1- 67 of the at that time in Dahlem under the signature X. Hauptabteilung (HA) Rep. 16 A Nr. 18 by Mr. Gerhard Küchler (1905-1992) from Berlin with the reservation of offering a first publication to the Landesgeschichtliche Vereinigung für die Mark Brandenburg. Number 113 was annexed to the estate in 1950. - In terms of content, the estate seems more like a family archive, since it also contains larger records of the grandfather Maximilian (senior) Bernhard Maria (1749-1820), the father Franz (senior) (1796-1849), the wife Marie (1831-1876), the son Franz (junior) (1857-1922) and older family papers. In the correspondence series Maximilian von Forckenbecks jun., Forckenbeck's concepts of outgoing letters are partly also present. - Some files (nos. 2, 3, 5, 15, 17, 19-21, 41, 68 and 74) show old water damage. These files are locked until the restoration is completed. - At the revision in Merseburg in 1950 the following three numbers were missing from the estate: - - A No. 7a "Mennonite Matters, mostly 1869". The content without folder has meanwhile been published in Archivale VIII. HA Slg Prussia No. 19 found. The empty folder No. 7a was in the estate with the inscription "empty". However, the folder contained letters which are more in line with the content of the other missing number B No. 8, as there is no reference to Mennonites. These found letters now bear the order number 115. In the name register of the old finding aid book, some of the more important correspondence partners previously contained in B No. 8 are listed. However, these are not in the found folder; the correspondence partners of the found pieces are also not mentioned in the register. - B No 8 'Bureau of the Chamber of Deputies; numerous letters from ministers, 1869-1873'. Part of it may now be number 115. - - B number 12 telegrams. The telegrams are still missing and were not found in the current estate processing. - The find book with the distortion of the earlier numbers I. HA Rep. 92 Forckenbeck A 1-11 and B 1-13 was compiled by Ludwig Dehio. The original editor of the archives X. HA Rep. 16 A No. 18 Forckenbeck No. 1-67 could no longer be determined. - With the introduction of the new tectonics in the GStA PK, the formerly known as I. HA Rep. 92 and X. HA Rep. 92 were introduced. HA Rep. 16 A No. 18, Forckenbeck's estate was incorporated into the newly formed VI. main department of family archives and estates in 2001. - The database input was done by Mrs. Pistiolis. The undersigned unified and interlocked the two legacy drawings by assigning an overall classification, the technical editing of the magazine and the creation of the foreword. For the sake of simplicity, the part with the earlier signatures A1-B13 was renumbered after serial numbers in the present estate processing and added numerically to the former Dahlem part from No. 68 onwards. A corresponding concordance can be found at the end of the find log. - Running time: 1727-1899, without date - - Scope: 1.3 running meters - - Order method: VI HA, Nl Maximilian von Forckenbeck, No. .... - Citation method for No. 1-67: GStA PK, VI.

Preliminary remark The old list of files included Divisions I - VI. Divisions VII - XII and Division I P (personnel files) had been added to the list of files as special groups. A new structure with 25 subject groups was created in the present repertory, since the system of the old file index did not meet the requirements. The special groups of the old directory are now under: No. 5 c-e (Personal Akten, Abt. I P), No. 12 b (Mobil- und Demobilmachung, Abt. IX M, XMD), No. 23 c (Reg.Präsident Dr. Rombach, Abt. VIII), No. 23 f (Eupen-Malmedy, Abt. XI), No. 23 g (Neutral-Moresnet, Abt. VII), No. 24 (Gestapo, Abt. XII). The present new repertory replaces the provisional old repertory G 20/2, which only bore the title Government Aachen, Presidential Office, which has been extended in the present finding aid book to "Government Aachen, Presidential Office and Special Groups". However, the files shall continue to be ordered under 'Aachen Government, Presidential Office, No ...'. The redesign of the repertory was carried out by State Archives Inspector Kilian and State Archives Assessor Dr. Lück. (December 1970)
Contents of the finding aid book: The vast majority of the archival materials in the university archive are files, especially those of the university administration. The previous tradition in the area of faculties, institutes and chairs was not subject to a systematic concept. In the future, these gaps will also be filled. The area of certificates is mainly represented by doctoral and postdoctoral certificates (duplicate or copy). The area of official records is represented by administrative journals and business diaries (1869 - 1919, 1966 - 1969). The Collections section is represented by a newspaper clipping collection (1945 - 1996), which was taken over by the RWTH Foreign Institute. The other collections of the Hochschularchiv, such as estates, photo collections or objects, are not included in the present index. For this purpose, the university archive has its own finding aids, some of which are already accessible online. Structure of the finding aid book: The recording and structuring of the archived files in the university archive was not carried out according to archival aspects of provenance, but according to a rather factual approach, similar to the librarian indexing. The files were recorded by person and subject and kept in two separate series of index cards. The index cards were essentially created during the term of office of the scientific director Prof. Dr. Reinhard Hildebrandt. According to the Numerus Currens of the signatures, the individual file was recorded according to an archival model with title and further details (according to the content and thesaurus notes). This information was recorded on a so-called location map. These location maps are reproduced here in MidosaXML presentation format. In the absence of a separation of provenance, the information from the location maps is displayed in a complete file. The structure or classification of the entire stock is based on the order signatures and has only very general references to content, which are briefly placed in front of the individual structure levels. The original assignment of the order signatures provided for corresponding gaps for later file access and caused today's jump numbers. For the internet presentation, the file was checked for information that was questionable under data protection law.
The Prussian legation to the Kingdom of Italy evolved from the Turin and Florence legations. After the Franco-Italian successes in the war against Austria, Tuscany was annexed by the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont in 1859. As a result of the annexation of the kingdom of both Sicily, King Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed King of Italy on 17 March 1861. The international recognition of the title was one of the main tasks of the king in the following years. This should be seen as part of the overall effort to unify Italy. Initially, the legation in Turin was responsible for representing Prussian interests in the Kingdom of Italy. The extraordinary envoy Willisen was replaced at the end of 1863 by Guido von Usedom, who had just been elevated to the rank of Count. Together with the court, Usedom moved from Turin to Florence on 13 June 1865, taking over the existing infrastructure of the former legation of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. His most historically significant news was the "Stoß-ins-Herz-Depesche" of 17 June 1866, published by the former Italian Prime Minister La Marmora in 1868. In it Usedom demanded the advance of Italian troops directly to Vienna (GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 81 Florence (Italy), No. 8, fol. 376-387). Due to a dispute with Prime Minister Bismarck, Usedom retired from office in 1869. Around this time, the legation in Florence hired its own pharmacist. His successor, Count von Brassier, took office on 1 January 1870 in the name of the North German Confederation. The last documents of the collection end in the autumn of 1870 with the relocation of the Italian capital to Rome as a result of the Franco-German war. The inventory allows only a few statements on the history of the authorities in the narrower sense, as it deals only with the political reports to the ministry and the decrees and copies of other legation reports sent by the ministry. Personnel and organizational files are not included in the inventory. Carl Schmitz, a merchant born in Stolberg near Aachen, offered the legation an open house for its official purposes. In return, he was first appointed agent and later consul. Extraordinary envoys and authorized ministers 1862-1863 Friedrich Adolph (from 1863: Freiherr) von Willisen 1863-1869 Carl Georg Ludwig Guido Graf von Usedom 1869-1872 Maria Anton Joseph Brassier de St. Simon Inventory history The first delivery of 10 volumes took place on 12 July 1870, the day before the appearance of the Emser Depesche, by the Chancellor of the North German Confederation. On 28 July 1882, the German Foreign Office delivered 25 files of the former Royal Legations of Florence and Naples to the Prussian Secret State Archives, where they were classified as Repositur 81 Florence or Naples. The last major access took place in 1900 and the first inventory revision took place in October 1923. In 1943 the stock was transferred to the salt mines Staßfurt and Schönebeck as part of the I. Main Department, Repositur Gesandtschaften and Consulates. After the end of the war, Soviet troops confiscated the stock and transferred it to Moscow. It was not until 1955 that it was returned to the Merseburg Department of the German Central Archives. Further revisions took place here (1955 and 1986). The holdings were filmed in February 1962. It was not possible to find out more about the non-existence of the numbers 22 to 27 (political reports and correspondence up to the end of 1872) listed in the Altfindmittel. In 1923 they still existed, the revision of 1955 marked them as missing. It was not possible to identify any indications of an inventory delimitation with the Reich Archive or the Political Archive of the Federal Foreign Office. In the course of German reunification, the inventory of the I. HA Rep. 81 legations and consulates was returned to Berlin as part of the holdings of the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage in accordance with the Unification Treaty. They have been stored in the Westhafen magazine since 1993. In July 1990, the GStA PK acquired two letters, which in 2011 were assigned to the holdings Rep. 81 Florence/Italy (GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 81 Florence (Italy) after 1807, No. 22). In May and June 2011, the new indexing and creation of the finding aid was carried out by Archivassessor Dr. Andreas Becker. finding aids: database; finding aid book, 1 vol.
The present repertory is the revised version of the two official finding aids of the Prussian Government Department I Section XI Education of 1852 (see No. 2180) and of 1927 (see No. 2181). The repertories of the authorities partly agree, partly disagree. Occasionally, file numbers that had previously been regarded as order signatures were assigned twice. As the funds were used to locate authorities, amendments were made and not always in the expected places, which led to a great deal of confusion. The various entries about destruction or transfer to other registries and authorities also created confusion about the existence or location of the files. The NVA (=Newly recorded file) numbers behind the individual title entries (if at all clearly to assign) gave a certain hint that the file must have already been in the archive. - The NVA number was the first signature to be assigned in the archive, regardless of the stock to which it belonged. Later, the Prussian files were removed from the NVA inventory and stored according to the old authority signature. - However, not every file with an NVA number could be found. In addition, teacher personnel files were handed over to the following authorities: Kultministerium Württemberg-Hohenzollern and Oberschulamt Tübingen. The personal files, which did not grow there, were delivered in three deliveries (Acc. 23/1956, 1/1969 and 17/1969) from the Oberschulamt Tübingen to the Staatsarchiv Sigmaringen. The deliveries were previously separate and have only now been returned to their original place. The lack of clarity, the poor manageability and the state of conservation of the old finding aids have led to the necessity of simplifying the old signatures as well as to the present index. The first processing of the inventory took place only on the basis of the finding aids and not on the basis of the files. The content of the titles was not checked against the files, but only carefully normalised. The actual existence of the files and their duration was determined in the inventory in the magazine. Files from the hitherto unallocated part of the total holdings of the Prussian Government of Sigmaringen had to be incorporated into the present partial holdings. The personnel files from the deliveries of the Oberschulamt Tübingen were integrated. In the course of the work step of file control, notes describing physical anomalies were included in the present repertory. In addition, pre-proveniences have been demonstrated. The following pre-proveniences appear: "Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen", "Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen", "Secret Conference Sigmaringen", "Secret Conference Hechingen", "Princely Government Sigmaringen", "Princely Government Hechingen", "Prussian Interim Government Sigmaringen", "Prussian Interim Government Hechingen" and "Prussian Commissarius", "Kreisschulinspektion Beuthen", "Kreisschulinspektion Xanten", "Oberamt Hechingen", "Oberschulkommission Hechingen", "Preußische Regierung Aachen", "Preußische Regierung Arnsberg", "Preußische Regierung Danzig", "Preußische Regierung Düsseldorf", "Preußische Regierung Frankfurt an der Oder", "Prussian Government Kassel", Prussian Government Koblenz", Prussian Government Cologne", Prussian Government Königsberg", Prussian Government Köslin", Prussian Government Marienwerder", Prussian Government Münster", Prussian Government Oppeln", Prussian Government Posen", Prussian Government Trier", "Preußische Regierung Wiesbaden", "Provinzschulkollegium Berli n", "Provinzschulkollegium Berlin-Lichterfeld", "Provinzschulkollegium Koblenz", "Provinzschulkollegium Münster", "Bezirkspräsidium des Oberelsass", "Schulkommissariat Haigerloch", "Schulkommissariat Hechingen", "Schulkommission Hechingen" and "Schulkommission Sigmaringen". Post-proveniences include "Kultusministerium Württemberg-Hohenzollern", "Oberschulamt Tübingen" and "Schulamt Sigmaringen". In addition, the provenance "President of Hohenzollern - settlement agency" appears. The task of this authority was to complete the business of the Prussian government of Sigmaringen, which had been dissolved in 1945. The repertory now has a place and person index. The problem with the creation of the place index was that some places in the east of the former German Empire are now on Polish territory. In order to facilitate the understanding of contemporary administrative contexts, these places were identified according to their administrative affiliation at the time. This repertory lists all files that are listed in the list of authorities. If they could not be found, the note "not available" appears in the repertory. The state of conservation of the files is questionable, as the Prussian-stitched files were lying loose and unpacked on the shelf until recently. A further deterioration of the condition is not to be expected, however, as the files have recently been packed in an archive-compatible manner. The recording of the title recordings was carried out by the undersigned with the archival indexing program Midosa 95 in 2007. Corinna Knobloch and the undersigned checked the files in the magazine. Holger Fleischer completed the final EDP work. The present holdings comprise 1759 units of description and 40.3 linear metres and are quoted as follows: Ho 235 T 26-248 No. Sigmaringen, July 2009 Birgit Meyenberg
History of the Inventory Designer: The idea of setting up a female SS news corps (WNK-SS) goes back to Heinrich Himmler's personal initiative at the beginning of 1942. On 17 February the latter had commissioned his office "Chief of Telecommunications" with the formulation of a constellation order as well as with the elaboration of guidelines for the tasks, organization and training of the Female Intelligence Corps of the SS to be created. The primary purpose of this measure was to be able to deploy male SS intelligence personnel to the front, and certainly also to make the SS intelligence more efficient and independent of Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe intelligence workers. It was planned to establish a "School WNK-SS" for the "training of radio operators, teletypists and telephones for the intelligence service at the offices in the entire area of the Reichsführer-SS and bosses of the German police". The town of Oberehnheim in Alsace, about 30 km south of Strasbourg, was chosen as the training location. It had sufficient accommodation with Oberkirch Castle, the "Ehn-Schlösschen", Villa Schwörer and Leonhardsau Castle. First commander of the SS-Nachrichtenschule Oberehnheim, later "Reichsschule-SS", became the SS-Oberführer von Dufais, who after his appointment on 29 June 1942 was responsible for the further technical and personnel equipment of the school. The latter consisted mainly of the advertising and training of teaching staff. The necessary preparatory work, which also included the organisation of the recruitment of junior staff, was completed by the end of the year, so that training could begin at the beginning of 1943. The advertising and recruitment of SS helpers was initially carried out exclusively by the SS upper sections on the basis of a decree issued by the Reichsführer-SS on 14 August 1942 (NS 32 II/3). During the war, SS helpers were called upon on the basis of the Emergency Service Ordinance of 15 October 1938 (RGBl I p. 1441) to establish an employment relationship corresponding to an employment contract. The prerequisite for recruitment was that the applicant met the "requirements placed on the spouses of SS members". The definitive termination was also preceded by a medical and intelligence test, a medical examination and an SD review. After being called up to the SS-Helferinnenschule, the SS-Maiden (official appointment of SS-Helferinnen during their training) underwent an eight-week basic training course, which, in addition to further examination and selection, served in particular ideological training. He was followed by a special training course in one of the five training groups (wire, radio, staff and administration service, housekeeping, subordinate school), which lasted between six and 24 weeks. After completing their training and passing their examinations, the helpers received their orders to go to an SS office in the Reich or in the occupied and affiliated territories. The original plan was to use it in closed military units (comradeships, trains, readies). However, this form of organisation never came to fruition, as the need for helpers at all times far exceeded the number of news maids trained in Oberehnheim. In practice, the SS-Helferinnenschule received daily reports of needs from the SS supplement offices (mostly sent in advance by telegram). In return, the supplementary offices were then notified of the marching in of a number of helpers who were mostly behind the number requested. In August 1942, after the advertising results of the SS sections had always remained unsatisfactory, the SS Supplementary Offices were also responsible for the recruitment of junior staff and the recruitment procedure. In addition, the BDM has intensified its involvement in the recruitment of junior staff. Nevertheless, the capacity of approximately 250 course participants reached at the beginning of the training could never be significantly exceeded. The total number of news workers trained at the SS-Helferinnenschule therefore amounts to about 3000. Structural changes occurred in November 1944, when the approaching Western Front made it necessary to withdraw from Oberehnheim. The staff and the basic training courses were moved to Geislingen an der Steige, the remaining training groups to Heidenheim. Just one month later (mid-December 1944), the wire training group moved into their quarters in the Erfurt Police Assistant School, which had previously been under the command of the Ordnungspolizei and was now subordinated to the SS headquarters. The local leader was SS-Hauptsturmführer Appelbaum, while the SS Helferinnenschulen, now distributed among Heidenheim, Geislingen, and Erfurt, were headed by Obersturmbannführer Mutschler, who had replaced Dufais in June 1944. Inventory description: Inventory description The files of the Provenance SS-Helferinnenschule originate from the collection "Reichsführer-SS und Chef der Deutschen Polizei" (RG 1010), which contained documents that were transferred from American custody to the Federal Archives in the course of file returns. The files of the SS Helferinnenschule (formerly stock RS 5), which were handed down in the Federal Archives Military Archives, were merged with them. The NS 32 II collection was established in 1973 in Koblenz and made accessible in the form of a find book. Since 1973, the personal documents belonging to the inventory have been located in the Central Proof Office (ZNS) in Aachen, where they were evaluated for the purpose of issuing service time statements by means of automatic data processing on personal names. After the dissolution of the CNS at the end of 2005, the files were returned to the inventory. It should be noted that the files include several volumes of the provenance "Chief of Telecommunications at the Reichsführer-SS and Chief of the German Police", the classification of which seemed to make sense due to their clear content. These are numbers 1-6, 9, 22, 26, 27, 45, 47 and 110. Archival evaluation and processing The revision made only minor changes to the records. There were no cassations. Content characterization: Establishment, organisation and development of the SS-Helferinnenschule 1942-1945 (22), Lei‧tung, management and supervisory staff, medical care 1933-1945 (12), real estate, inventory and procurement 1942-1945 (14), internal service, training, work and duty schedules 1942-1945 (21), Advertising and recruitment of SS-Helfe‧rinnen 1942-1945 (11), requirements and deployment of female SS helpers 1943-1945 (18), Personalangelegen‧heiten 1942-1945 (24) Despite its relatively small size, this collection documents very well the history of the SS-Helferinnenschule and its relations to the state and the NSDAP. He thus makes a significant contribution to the topic of "Women in the SS State". State of development: Online-Findbuch (2006) Citation method: BArch, NS 32-II/...
