The district of Bonn was founded in 1816 by the mayors of Bonn, Godesberg, Hersel, Oedekoven, Poppelsdorf, Sechtem, Villich and Waldorf. Since October 1, 1887, the city of Bonn has been a new district of the county; from April 1, 1904, the rural communities of Poppelsdorf, Kessenich, Endenich and Dottendorf were united with it. From 1 October 1932, the municipalities of Wesseling and Keldenich belong to the administrative district of Cologne (formerly the mayor's office of Hersel); for this purpose, the mayor's offices of Adendorf, Rheinbach and Ollheim (excluding Esch, Müggenhausen and Straßfeld) of the dissolved district of Rheinbach were moved to the administrative district of Bonn.

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.

The files of the present holdings NW 223 were handed over to the Main State Archives on 13 October 1976 in 10 packages and 8 files and were accepted under No. III 82/76. These are documents of the Zoological Research Institute and Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, which document the emergence of the institute as a foundation and its work as a state institution. Numerous purchase contracts for the properties on which the construction of the Museum Koenig and the Villa Hammerschmidt, today's "House of the Federal President", are located, provide information about the development of the former rural property in this area in the second half of the 19th century. The construction of the museum building, a neo-Renaissance building, is documented, as is the transfer of the furnishings to the Reich as a result of unsuccessful efforts to complete the construction with Prussia's own funds or with the help of the Prussian government. The correspondences convey a vivid picture of the patriarchal character of the "Reichsinstitut" under the direction of its founder, Prof. Dr. Alexander Koenig. The scientific diaries as well as the documents belonging to the "Alexander Koenig Foundation" on the basis of testamentary provisions are still kept in the Koenig Museum. For the history of the institution and the Koenig family cf. Martin Eisentraut, Alexander Koenig und sein Werk, Bonn 1973. For the history of the Zoological Research Institute and Museum A. Koenig after 1945 cf. also the holdings NW 60. The holdings were recorded from December 1976 to January 1977 by the State Archives Council, Dr. Jürgen Rainer Wolf.
