Contents: An overview of the contents can be found in the classification. History of origins: Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Theodor Christoph Heinrich Rehbock (*12.04.1864 in Amsterdam, 17.08.1950 in Baden-Baden) studied civil engineering in Munich and Berlin from 1884 to 1890. After the diploma examination and the government building leader examination he worked from 1890 to 1892 in Berlin at the Reichstag building administration, then from 1893 to 1894 in the Bremen building administration. After passing the government building master examination in 1894, he worked in Berlin as a consulting engineer for hydraulic engineering and undertook journeys through Europe, to Canada and the USA as well as to South America and 1896/97 to southern Africa. In 1899 he was appointed full professor at the Technical University of Karlsruhe, where he established the river engineering laboratory and served as rector in the academic years 1907/08, 1917/18 and 1925/26. In 1934 Rehbock was emeritus. Pre-archival inventory history: Foreword by Klaus-Peters Hoepke in the provisional find book: "The inventory changed location several times between its creation and its transfer to the university archive. In 1943 Rehbock obtained permission from the rector to bring his papers from the river engineering laboratory to his house in Baden-Baden to arrange them. When Baden-Baden became a military restricted area in the autumn of 1944, Rehbock moved it to his alternative quarters in Ried b. Benediktbeuren/Obb. At the end of the war he took her back to Baden-Baden. Since his house was confiscated by the French military administration, he had to move again - taking his papers with him. During Rehbock's lifetime, but at the latest after his death, individual pieces of furniture, parts of his library, these papers - probably supplemented by parts of the written private estate - reached the Technical University of Karlsruhe. In September 1992 Prof. Dr. techn. Peter Larsen and PD Dr.-Ing. Hans Helmut Bernhart of the Theodor Rebock Institute arranged for the fundus to be transferred to the university archive. Furthermore Dr.-Ing. Andreas Richter from the Institute of Hydromechanics handed over a bundle of Rehbock manuscripts of the lecture on weirs to the archive in January 1995; it was added to the collection under the serial number 63a. The inventory listed below is made up of parts of the service room estate and private papers. In view of the distances travelled, experience has shown that it is hardly probable that the fundus that existed around 1943 is still completely preserved. After the war, for example, there must have been two folders with the correspondence that Rehbock had kept with the nestor of German hydraulic engineering, Hubert Engels from Dresden, a colleague he held in high esteem. In any case, the effects of war had destroyed not only countless measurement records, plans, etc. but also the historically valuable and extensive collection of site plans of the Rhine models: According to Rehbock, the already print-ready collection documented "the best I could achieve in the experimental world". (So to Anton Grzywienski, 15.12.1946, no. 162) [...] In Baden-Baden Rehbock actually dealt with arranging his papers. He probably used the registration plan as a basis, according to which he had correspondence, sketches, plans, etc. filed during his active time in the river engineering laboratory. (This registry plan no longer exists, so that the presumed losses can no longer be determined). Above all, Rehbock added explanatory remarks for posterity to individual folders or documents. Many documents then contain underscores, paint strokes or margin notes made with coloured pencils (red, purple or green). Unfortunately, it is not always clear whether these are traces of processing from the course of business or later highlights, which it seemed advisable to place roebuck in view of posterity." Archive history: Most of the documents were transferred from the Theodor Rehbock Institute to the university archive in September 1992. A small levy was made in January 1995 from the Institute of Hydromechanics (No 63a). The Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Cultural Engineering, which emerged from the Theodor Rehbock Institute, submitted further documents in 1996, which Hoepke classified partly in "Signatures" he had created and partly under No. 351-381. Numbers 370-381 included 1,345 photographic glass plates. These were included in a provisional list in late 2003 and filmed and digitised at the turn of the year 2003/04. On 02.06.2008 the addition 29/? was added to the inventory as signature number 406. Explanation of the order: The order of the inventory was established in its basic features according to the order carried out by Theodor Rehbock. Changes took place in the initial stock formation in the university archive (see Archivische Bestandgeschichte) and in the digitisation of the finding aid in 2005. Indexing information: In the second quarter of 2005, the finding aid available in electronic form was easily edited and imported into the finding aid database. The existing classification was adopted largely unchanged. During the digitization of the finding aid, signatures with alphanumeric additions were changed to purely numeric signatures.

The present estate of Friedrich Theodor Althoff (1839-1908), Prussian Ministerial Director in the Ministry of Culture, was given to the Prussian Secret State Archives in 1921 as a gift from the widow Marie Althoff. In 1924, 1935, 1936, 1951, 1958 and 2000 further smaller parts of the estate were transferred to the (Prussian) Secret State Archives (PK). The estate contains primarily personnel documents, comprehensive reference files from official activities, extensive official correspondence with a large number of partners, newspapers and newspaper clippings and a small partial estate of the widow Marie Althoff, mainly with her correspondence after 1908 The correspondence was filed by Althoff himself according to two types, alphabetically according to the names and professions of the senders, so that both groups (by database query) are to be searched. An additional peculiarity is that about 500 letters are enclosed with other correspondences, namely when the letter writers mainly expressed themselves about other, third parties. In these cases, the letters were not filed under the senders, but under the names of those about whom they were written. Modern distortion maintains this order, but ejects the names concerned in the respective distortion titles. (Example VI HA, Nl F. T. Althoff, No. 805 alphabetical correspondence "Kohl - Koppy" also contains in "Kollmann, Julius, Basel, 1887 - 1888 (3)" a letter by Gustav v. Schmoller about Julius Kollmann from 1884). In the course of entering the database, the individual correspondence partners in the correspondence volumes were added to the contents notes using the register. The number in brackets indicates the number of letters. For the former divisions A I and A II (today No. 1-655) there is a separate detailed analysis volume which should be consulted during research. Its contents are not part of the database, as they would have gone beyond its scope. For the complete technical processing of the magazine, which took place in 2012, the discount was re-signed according to serial numbers for the sake of simplicity. A corresponding concordance can be found at the end of the search. Distortion began in 1921 by Ludwig Dehio. Mrs. Krähe created the list of letter correspondents. In 1939 G. Wentz dispersed the correspondence. In the years 1960-1962 Renate Endler recorded the estate again, including a revision. From 1975-1976 a further revision was carried out by Holger Schenk. The following files were already missing when the still valid find book from the 1960s was compiled: A I No. 18 Academic Freedom, 1905 A I I No. 144 Criminalist Seminar, Halle, 1885 - 1896 A II No. 98 Eduard Simon, 1906-08 B No. 7 Baltzer B No. 21 Cantor B No. 28[Content unknown] B No. 69 Hermite B No. 137 Bd. 2 Netto B No. 168 Bd. 2 Schottki Bei B No. 48 Frobenius, B No. 65 Heffter, B No. 70 Heffner und B No. 169 Sturm missing the main part. The old numbers B No. 98, B No. 106 and B No. 167 are also missing, according to remarks in the find book; in the group "Correspondence Althoff's correspondence sorted by sender's profession", which is very intensively indexed, the contents of the missing pieces have also been included in the database, since their contents may be of partial interest, even if the individual letters no longer exist. These letters then bear the addition"(missing)". The following autograph of Althoff is also kept in the "Small Acquisitions" collection of the Geheimes Staatsarchiv PK: I. HA Rep. 94 Small acquisitions, No. 1711 Friedrich Althoff to an unknown person: Transmission of 4 facsimile Primaner essays of the Joachimsthalschen Gymnasium in Berlin from 1901 on the topic "The Beinstellung der Monmämäler in der Siegesallee" with Marginalien Kaiser Wilhelm II, The database was entered by Mrs. Pistiolis, the database correction, determination and addition of the runtimes on the basis of the contained notes and preparation of the foreword was done by the undersigned. With the introduction of the new tectonics in the GStA PK, the estate of Friedrich Theodor Althoff, formerly headed as I. Department Rep. 92, was incorporated into the newly formed VI. Department of Family Archives and Bequests in 2001. According to the Internet database "Kalliope, Verbundsystem Nachlässe und Autographen der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin", another extensive part of the manuscript section of the Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz is located. This section contains 23 boxes with correspondence, documents, manuscripts, photos, prints and the death mask. Further correspondence of Althoff (312 sheets) is kept in the document collection Darmstaedter (2c 1890) of the Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz.

History of the Inventory Designer: In 1880, the "German Agricultural Council" suggested the creation of a "Reichszentrale zur Beobachtung und Vertilgung der die die Kulturpflanzen schädden Insekten und Pilze" (Reich Centre for the Observation and Eradication of Insects and Fungi Harmful to Cultivated Plants). On 24 March 1897, the Member of Parliament and practical farmer, Dr Dr hc. Albert Schulz-Lupitz in the Reichstag, an initiative for the creation of an "agricultural-technical Reichsanstalt für Bakteriologie und Phytopathologie". A necessity was given by the annual damages in the agriculture and forestry by diseases and pests of the cultivated plants and because of the importance of certain bacteria. This request was initially postponed until the following year and was finally dealt with again on 28 January 1898. On that day the Imperial Health Office demanded 2400 Marks for a "botanically trained unskilled worker" who would not only carry out the food examinations, but also the botanical work for the pharmacopoeia and the exploitation of plants from the protectorates, as well as be active in the field of plant protection. Finally, on 25 February, a commission met at the "Imperial Health Office" to discuss the planned establishment of a "Biological Department" at the Health Office and to draw up a first memorandum. The integration into this office was carried out because the now projected tasks (e.g. combating phylloxera) had been carried out there for years. The founding memorandum set out the tasks of the future research institute in eight points and became part of the "Law on the Determination of a Supplement to the Reich Budget Budget for the Financial Year 1898". In 1899 this department already comprised four laboratories in the newly built building of the "Imperial Health Office" in Klopstockstrasse in Tiergarten. Initially the department (see Reichstag printed matter no. 241, 1898): - study the living conditions of animal and plant pests of cultivated plants and gain the basis for their control, - study the damage to cultivated plants caused by inorganic influences, - study the beneficial organisms from the animal and plant kingdoms, - study the microorganisms useful and harmful for agriculture, and - study the diseases of bees. - In addition to the experimental activities, the following tasks were also assigned to the department: - Collecting statistical material on the occurrence of the most important plant diseases at home and abroad, - Provision of difficult-to-access literature (in particular from abroad) to the state institutes, - Publication of common publications and leaflets on the most important plant diseases, - Training of experts (for the German colonies). For field experiments, a test field was leased in Dahlem on the site of the "Royal Prussian Domain" at today's Königin-Luise-Strasse 19. In May 1898 the construction of a greenhouse with insulating cells and a small laboratory building began on this site. When the "Biological Department for Agriculture and Forestry at the Imperial Health Office" was founded, Oberregierungsrat Dr. med. h. c. Karl Köhler was director of this office. The first head of department was then in 1899 the Privy Councillor Prof. Dr. Albert Bernhard Frank, who died in 1900. His successor was Privy Councillor Prof. Dr. Carl Freiherr von Tubeuf, who was appointed to Munich after only a few months. In 1902, Dr. Rudolf Aderhold, Privy Councillor, became the new head of the government. He was followed on August 1, 1907 by the Privy Senior Government Councillor Prof. Dr. Johannes Behrens, former head of the "Bacteriological Laboratory". A further change of leadership did not take place until 1920, when Privy Councillor Prof. Dr. Otto Appel became Director of the BRA. He was succeeded from 1933 to 1945 by Dr. Eduard Riehm, Senior Government Councillor, as Director and from 1937 as President of the BRA.

On 13 January 1919 it changed its name to "Biologische Reichsanstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft" (Biological Imperial Institute for Agriculture and Forestry) and from 1920 was subordinate to the Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture (RMEL).

In addition, the BRA supervised research supported by RMEL in Markee in Nauen (combating cabbage pests: cabbage fleas, cabbage flies, cabbage shoots) and Magdeburg (combating tomato diseases). The working group with the German Entomological Institute of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, founded in 1934, was intended to promote systematic and morphological research in the field of applied entomology. In the case of mass occurrences of individual pests, so-called "flying stations" were set up ad hoc for research purposes, which could be dissolved at any time. These flying stations included: - 1921-1925: Oybin near Zittau, respectively Dresden (plague of nuns) - 1922-1927: Crenzow / Pomerania and Anklam (beetle of Rübenaas) - 1924: Stralsund, from 1925: Rosenthal near Breslau, from 1928: Heinrichau, from 1933: Guhrau (beet fly and beetle leaf bug) - 1929-1931: Randowbruch / Pommern (grass diseases and pests) - 1937: Oldenburg (grassland pests) After the end of the war in 1945, the BRA was broken up, first attempts were made to resume work in Berlin and the four occupation zones. In May 1945, the Dahlem offices were first subordinated to the Berlin magistrate. Prof. Dr. Otto Schlumberger became the new President in Berlin in July. Inventory description: Inventory history The inventory R 3602 Biologische Reichsanstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft consists of a total of 1955 files, which are subdivided as follows: - Naumburger Akten": signature numbers 1-1020 - files of the BRA: signature numbers 2001-2625 - personal files: Signature numbers 3001-3320 "Naumburger Akten" The first portion of files, subsequently referred to as Naumburger Akten, was handed over to the Zentrale Staatsarchiv (ZStA) in Potsdam on 24 January 1983 by the Akademie der Landwirtschaftswissenschaften, Institut für Züchtungsfragen Quedlinburg. A list of fees is available. The Naumburg files formed the inventory R 3602 Biologische Reichsanstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft. After 3 October 1990, the holdings were transferred from the ZStA to the Federal Archives. Files of the BRA Of the approx. 40 linear metres of the remaining records which had been preserved in the Federal Biological Institute for Agriculture and Forestry - Institute for Nonparasitic Plant Diseases - Berlin-Dahlem, the Federal Archives took over approx. 12 linear metres of archival documents in August 1983, including personnel files, most of the administrative documents and a selection of documents on implementation tasks. Around 1978, a considerable number of files, mainly from the Office for Economic and Legal Affairs in Plant Protection (WURA), had already been collected by the Federal Institute. In 1988, the Bernkastel-Kues branch and the Berlin Institute of the Federal Biological Research (Institut Berlin der Biologischen Bundesanstalt) handed over further files, in particular on viticulture and soil fertilisation (R 168 / 470-625). Personnel files In the 1950s, personnel files were mainly transferred from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to the ZStA. These three named groups of files were brought together in the Federal Archives to form a single collection: R 3602 Biological Imperial Institute for Agriculture and Forestry. The Naumburg files retained the signature numbers 1 to 1020, the numbers of the files from the former R 168 were added around 2000 (R 168 / 1 became R 3602/ 2001), the 320 personnel files received the signature numbers R 3602 / 3001-3320. The ZStA had no further BRA files. It is suspected that the archival material handed over to the Reichsarchiv by the BRA and the other branch offices was destroyed during the destruction of the archive in April 1945. Content characterisation: Documents on the following subject areas have been handed down: Headquarters: Business operations of the headquarters 1885-1949, land and buildings, budget 1905-1944, personnel matters 1902-1949, business operations of the branch offices, especially Trier and Bernkastel-Kues 1919-1948, development and activities in general: historical development 1897-1944, activity reports, work of the advisory board, lectures, publications, public relations, anniversaries 1902-1952.

Biography: Friedrich August Haselwander (1859-1932) studied mathematics, physics, chemistry, botany, mineralogy, economics and electronics at the Technical University of Karlsruhe, the Universities of Strasbourg and Munich. In self-study he additionally acquired knowledge in the engineering sciences. In 1886, in Offenburg, where he was born, he constructed a DC dynamo machine from which he developed the three-phase generator, a world first. In 1891 he founded the Badische Elektrizitätswerke in Lahr, where he worked until their liquidation in 1893. In cooperation with Adolf Kolbe, he applied for his patents at home and abroad and knew how to draw financial benefit from them. After disputes over the copyright of his three-phase generator patent, Haselwander increasingly devoted himself to the development of motors. In 1897 he applied for a patent for the first compressorless crude oil engine. After working as a partner and technical director of the patent exploitation syndicate Haselwander, Wenk-Wolff and Genossen in Mannheim, as co-founder and partner of Maschinenfabrik Haselwander, among others.
Description of the holdings: Abt. 189 Heylsches Landgut Pfauenmoos Size: 77 AK and one running metre oversized formats (incl. 189_F = 307 VE) = 7.5 running metres Duration: 1857 - 2007 1st prehistory and takeover of the documents in May 2012 After the death of Ludwig C. v. Heyl zu Herrnsheim (1920-2010), who had handed over extensive private and company documents to the archive since 1997, which were intensively recorded in the city archives (Abt. 185), his two sons Dr. Ludwig v. Heyl (Landgut Nonnenhof, Bobenheim-Roxheim south of Worms) and Dr. Johannes v. Heyl (Freidorf/Kanton Thurgau, CH) approached the City Archives with the question of whether a takeover of further supplementary family documents that were already stored and indexed (cf. Dept. 186) in the archives would be possible. These were located on the castle or country estate Pfauenmoos (canton St. Gallen, municipality Berg SG, Switzerland) acquired by the family in 1848/49, since 1923 a foundation according to Swiss law. Mainly due to the close personal ties of Ludwig C. v. Heyl ('Lu') to Pfauenmoos, in which he had lived regularly and for a longer period of time almost to the end of his life together with his wife Gisela (1923-2011, née Greiser, married since 1945), there were numerous private and family papers there which would await inspection and development. The project was also agreed with Ludwig v. Heyl's younger brother Gebhard v. Heyl (born 1930, resident in Munich). A takeover of family papers was also envisaged in view of the incipient planning for renovation work on the property. In view of the expected significance of the family documents for the history of the city and its closely connected von Heyl family, and against the background of the close and trusting cooperation with their relatives over many years, the archive gladly took up this suggestion and agreed in advance with the art historian and publisher Dr. Ferdinand Werner, who in 2010 as co-editor of the extensive anthology on the family and its buildings had already dealt with Pfauenmoos as an outstanding cultural monument. After the necessary organisational clarifications in 2011/12, the archive manager Dr. Gerold Bönnen, the archive employee Margit Rinker-Olbrisch (Dipl.-Arch. FH) and the aforementioned Dr. Ferdinand Werner travelled to Switzerland from 23-25 May 2012. On-site support was provided by Dr. Johannes v. Heyl, with whom all questions that arose were discussed before and after the event. The archives were mostly located in a climatically suitable room on the 2nd floor, the condition and important working steps were documented photographically. Close cooperation with the Cantonal Archives in St. Gallen was important to the City Archives, as the archives relating to the Foundation and the site itself were of course to remain on site. Through this collegial cooperation (discussion on site with Mrs. Regula Zürcher, who is responsible for private records) and due to the willingness of the family and the family foundation, it was possible to clarify that the parts of the archive that directly concern the property and the house or the family foundation should be deposited in the cantonal archives and recorded there, an exchange of the finding aids was agreed. The portion earmarked for the cantonal archives (approx. 13 running metres) comprises correspondence from the administration of the foundation, the Pfauenmoos Castle Association, estate management (from approx. 1890) and forestry, official books (cash books, accounting, bank documents, etc.), files, contracts relating to acquisition, leasing and construction matters, inventories (also at the time of the transfer of ownership in 1848/49) as well as a measuring certificate (1849). There are also some documents from Lederhandels-AG (Switzerland). The share taken over from the municipal archives of Worms and transferred to Worms on 25.5.2012 had approximately the same extent (approx. 12-13 running metres). For some of the documents, it was agreed that they would be digitised and the originals returned to the family (Chronicle of Pfauenmoos, collection of plans, photographs). Dr. Werner's stay on site was also used by Dr. Werner for a comprehensive photographic documentation of the highly interesting art-historical property with many references to Worms. A monograph on the history of the listed building is currently being planned. Following the trip, Dr. Werner and Claus Reisinger (Wernersche Verlagsgesellschaft) voluntarily documented approx. 30 family photographs from Pfauenmoos, which were hung there and have since been returned, in high quality for the photo department of the city archive (80 illustrations = 1.93 GB). 2. indexing and special features The indexing of the holdings (new archive department 189) was carried out between June 2012 and January 2013 by the archive manager with the help of a student trainee. A donation contract with the city was already concluded with Dr. Johannes v. Heyl in August 2012. A cassation took place only in very small extent; only 18 files from the very extensive correspondence series of Ludwig v. Heyl in the years 1977 to 2000 (approx. 2 running meters): Congratulations 1986-90, Christmas cards and greetings 1975-1981, 1991, 1994, 1998; General Corresp. 1975-77; 60th Birthday 1980; General Correspondence Switzerland and International 1990-99) were not accepted due to the redundancy of the documents. Special arrangements were made for the Pfauenmoos Chronicle (Hauschronik, No. 001), which was digitised in the City Archives and returned to Switzerland, the plans returning after its partial digitisation (Nov. 2012, Digitisation Centre City Archives Mannheim) and some of the older photographs. For reasons of conservation, the oldest framed photos dating back to 1845 (Daguerro type!) remain in the collection, while the archive takes care of the professional treatment and guarantees, among other things, optimal air conditioning. As mentioned, the vast majority of framed hanging older family photos have been digitized and have already returned to Pfauenmoos in their original form. To supplement the collection, Dr. Werner has made available to the archive digitally drafts of the architect Bluntschli's plans for the conversion of Pfauenmoos from the period around 1880/90, which he had obtained from the ETH Zurich archives. 3. content emphases The holdings represent such a pleasing extension of the other Heyl estates because there are many cross-references to other parts of the family records. Ludwig v. Heyl jun. (1920-2010) in particular had stored a large amount of personal papers (e.g. correspondence from the 1930s until his death, also older family photos including daguerrotypes back to 1845) at his place of residence in Switzerland, which can now be used together with the documents already recorded (Dept. 185, 186, 1801/1). The links with other family archive holdings are close. The classification tries to take into account the different components. The focus is on the correspondence between the two owners Ludwig v. Heyl (senior, 1886-1962) and above all his son Ludwig v. Heyl (jun., 'Lu') from the period between the 1920s and shortly after 2000. The content of the collection reflects numerous family and company aspects of the von Heyl family, as Pfauenmoo contained documents of great thematic diversity, an illustration of which is the classification developed. According to Ludwig v. Heyls (sen., 1886-1962), correspondence between the 1920s and his death, including correspondence with Swiss personalities such as the temporary Federal President and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Thomas Holenstein, is particularly noteworthy. In addition, there are documents on the charitable-ecclesiastical Swiss aid activated for Worms after 1946 (e.g. corr. with Rev. Buff) as well as internal family and company-related correspondence. The extensive correspondence of his son Ludwig v. Heyl (jun, 1920-2010), including the correspondence from the war years, family correspondence, plant-related letters (Heyl-Liebenau company until its liquidation in 1974) and materials, documents on his strong ties with the Bayreuth Festival after 1951 and his social activities in associations such as Rotary Clubs, lobbies of the leather industry, traditional associations (Militaria), etc. In all these fields, there is close interaction with the documents already existing in Dept. 185, which is why both holdings should be used in parallel when dealing with these topics. In addition there are older documents about Pfauenmoos from the time since ca. 1880, a collection of plans, photos and mixed material as well as personal documents of Gisela von Heyl, above all family correspondence from the time between ca. 1970 and 2000 (closed for use, see below). The photographs were recorded in a separate sub-collection 189_F comprising 36 units of description. Among these, in addition to the family pictures dating back to 1845, slide series from the 1970s on the demolition of the Majorshof and the Liebenau work should also be highlighted. 4. use and legal questions Notwithstanding the fact that the documents became the property of the City of Worms after the conclusion of the donation contract, blocking periods for use were set for a good 20 units of registration, as private and personal interests of Ludwig v. Heyls and his wife Gisela are particularly affected there. Apart from this, there are no restrictions on use. 5 Literature (on the building) - Ferdinand Werner, Von Wohnhäusern, Landsitzen und Villen, in: The Worms Industrial Family from Heyl.

History of the Baden embassies: Until 1871 Baden had maintained its own missions to the German Confederation, in Bavaria, Belgium, France, Hanover (until 1866), Hesse (Grand Duchy of Hesse), Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Prussia, Saxony, Switzerland and Württemberg, as well as numerous overseas consulates (8 in the USA alone). The same states were also represented in Baden. With Baden's entry into the German Reich, his foreign powers were transferred to it and all Baden embassies were dissolved; only the embassy in Berlin remained in existence until 1918 or 1945. The legations in Stuttgart and Munich were re-established in Munich in 1894 in personal union and functioned until 1919. Conversely, in Karlsruhe after 1871, there were still legations from Bavaria, Belgium, Brazil, Great Britain (chargés d'affaires), Prussia, Russia and Spain, albeit with smaller personnel and fewer competences. Furthermore, numerous consulates remained as before, most of which were based in Mannheim. Tradition: The files of the legations dissolved in 1871 were handed over by the State Ministry to the General State Archives in 1887 with the condition that they be kept as a whole, i.e. not to be torn apart. Friedrich von Weech therefore established a "Gesandtschaftsarchiv" at the Haus- und Staatsarchiv as its abbot IV in accordance with the provenance. In 1934, the files of the Baden legations in Berlin were submitted from 1884 and Munich from 1894 onwards, others followed until 1951. Development: In 1907-1909, the legation files submitted until then were recorded, renumbered after 1950 and copied by typewriter in 1966; in 2010, Ms Sigrun Gees produced an online version of them. Parallel holdings: holdings 48, here: Diplomatic correspondence (counter tradition of the Baden government), embassies, consulates, fonds 233, here: Legations, especially no. 34795-34836 (reports of the Baden legation in Berlin 1874-1933) and no. 34863-34871 (reports of the Baden legation in Munich and Stuttgart 1894-1919).

Inventory description: Abt. 209 Postcards Size: approx. 9000 pieces in 9 wooden boxes and 4 cartons, including 1. 3730 original postcards Worms/Umland and approx. 80 digital copies = 3521 registered pieces 2. approx. 5700 pieces other postcards without Worms or regional reference as well as duplicates Duration: after 1880 - 2001 How the postcards came into the archive and in which period the postcard collection was built up is not known. It is likely that these are mainly individual donations from users and smaller purchases. The collection also includes digital copies based on original originals in private ownership. In January 2006, the postcards of Mrs. Gerlinde Mauer, a temporary worker at the Jewish Museum, were re-sorted, while the existing group sorting was retained. From March to November 2011 the motifs related to Worms and its immediate surroundings as well as the military postcards were scanned with 300 dpi in original size and described by Mrs. Ingeborg Abigt in Augias until February 2012. For this purpose, a new classification was developed based on the old one. In addition, more postcards have been added ever since. The collection is stored in 10 wooden boxes in the magazine, shelf no. 46. The focus of the postcard collection is on collected views of Worms sights and views of the churches. The collection also contains a large number of military and propaganda cards, as well as postcards relating to the Grand Ducal Family. One part is unmarked, another has been sent by post and is marked with text, addressee and stamp. Since these are already published pictures, the stock is released for use. Reproductions, however, can only be made for private purposes due to the predominantly unclear legal situation. Exceptions are postcards of the publishers Christian Herbst and Füller, which can also be used for commercial projects and publications, as the city of Worms owns the rights, and postcards older than 70 years and therefore in the public domain.

History of the authorities: By decree of the Reich government of 21 March 1933, a special court was formed for each district of the Higher Regional Court. The special court responsible for the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court district was installed at the Mannheim Regional Court. These special courts were given criminal jurisdiction for offences under the "Ordinance of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State", which had been issued in reaction to the Reichstag fire of 27 February 1933 and which formed the legal background to the wave of arrests, particularly against Communists. In addition, the special courts were responsible for the offences according to the so-called "Heimtückeverordnung", which was cast into legal form in December 1934 under aggravation of the threat of punishment. Originally limited to purely "political" offences, special jurisdiction was extended in 1938 to include areas of "normal" crime. With a decree issued at the beginning of the war in 1939, any offence could be brought before a special court if "public order and security were particularly seriously endangered by the offence". New penal regulations also followed with the beginning of the war. The most important are briefly mentioned here:1. the "Kriegssonderstrafrechtsverordnung" of 17 August 1938 concerned the offences "Wehrkraftzetzung", "Wehrdiensttziehung" and "Selbstverstümmelung", which - depending on the severity of the offence - were placed under death penalty.2The "Ordinance on Extraordinary Broadcasting Measures" of 1 September 1939 punished the listening of foreign broadcasters with imprisonment, in severe cases with the death penalty.3 The "War Economics Ordinance" of 4 September 1939 punished black slaughter, food card fraud and similar offences.4The "Verordnung gegen Volksschädlinge" of 5 September tightened the penal provisions for property offences if the offence was committed "by exploiting the state of war" or "the healthy feeling of the people" "required" this.5 The "Verordnung zum Schutz gegen jugendliche Schwerverbrecher" of 4 October 1939 also made it possible to pronounce the death penalty against criminals who were only 16 years old.6The "Ordinance against Violent Criminals" issued on 5 December 1939 made it possible to impose death sentences for any type of capital crime.All these ordinances led to a tremendous increase in the workload in the Special Courts.Further Special Courts were therefore established, including the Special Court Freiburg im Breisgau from 1 November 1940, which was responsible for the Regional Court districts of Freiburg, Constance, Offenburg and Waldshut. The specially established public prosecutor's office at the Freiburg Special Court initiated more than 1,000 proceedings in the four and a half years up to April 1945. Of these, the records of 727 cases have been preserved. Most of the proceedings, about 30 of which were opened on the basis of the "Heimtückegesetz", were followed by "Kriegswirtschaftsverbrechen" with 23 The proceedings on the basis of the "Volksschädlingsverordnung" comprised 12 the so-called "Rundfunkverbrechen" 14

At the beginning of the 90's the documents were indexed with the help of the archiving program MIDOSA by ABM forces in terms of content and with a place and person index, and in 1996 made available to the users as finding aid of the state archives Freiburg the MIDOSA data of the existence were converted in the year 2005 into the MIDOSA95 format; the existence were revised even by the undersigned in the years 2006 and 2007 and provided with a subject index on the basis of the regulations quoted above. The data was then transferred to the archive management program SCOPE-Archiv of the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg. The stock was organized according to the crime scene, the alphabet of names, and the duration of the investigation. 2,427 order numbers in 20.4 m were now included in the stock. The following order numbers are not assigned: 17, 1000, 1195, 1773-1778. The indices refer to the order number Freiburg, in August 2007 Kurt Hochstuhl.
This reference book is a slightly modified and, if necessary, corrected transcript of the distortion (including preliminary remarks) made by Dr. Renate Endler in 1957. The estate of the envoy Joseph Maria von Radowitz came to the Prussian Secret State Archives through two accessions (acc. 112/1933 and 339/1936). According to the deposit agreement, it was not allowed to be arranged and listed. It is therefore not possible to determine exactly what losses have been incurred as a result of the outsourcing and relocation caused by the war. There are certainly gaps in diaries and personal records. The stock, whose signatures were completely new, is structured as follows: It began with Radowitz's diaries and personal notes. The diaries begin with the year 1853 and are available with interruptions until 1909. Two copies of the memoirs are available. One is the concept of Radowitz's hand, the other one is a re-examined clean copy from another hand. Next comes correspondence, divided into correspondence with the family, alphabetical and chronological correspondence. The large number of available newspapers and newspaper clippings have also been sorted chronologically. These were mainly newspaper reports on the Algeciras Conference, which was held from January to April 1906. The estate of the father Joseph Maria von Radowitz (the Elder), which is kept here, may also be used for research. The estate was used by Hajo Holborn to publish the "Notes and Memories from the Life of Ambassador Joseph Maria von Radowitz", 1925. In the course of the current database entry by Ms. Pistiolis, the register entries for the chronologically ordered exchange of letters (B III No. 1-10) and the newspaper volumes (C No. 1 Vol. 1-3 and C No. 2 Vol. 1-3) were adopted as notes in the corresponding archive units.

Berlin, November 2013 (Chief Inspector Sylvia Rose) Biographical data: Joseph Maria von Radowitz was born on 19.5.1839 in Frankfurt/Main, where his father worked as Prussian military representative for the German Confederation. His mother, Maria von Radowitz, was a born Countess von Voß. Radowitz attended grammar schools in Berlin and Erfurt, where the family took up permanent residence after his father retired. After studying at the universities of Berlin and Bonn and completing his military service, Radowitz became an auscultator at the Court of Appeal on 25 April 1860. He was first employed at the City Court in Berlin in the Department of Investigative Matters and later at the District Court in Erfurt. In 1861 Radowitz, supported by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron of Schleinitz, and other friends of the family, entered the diplomatic career. He became attaché to the Prussian legation in Constantinople. In 1862, when he returned to Berlin, Radowitz passed the Legation Secretary Examination. After a mission led by Count Eulenburg concluded contracts with China, Japan and Siam in 1859, a Prussian Consulate General was to be established in China in 1862. Radowitz applied to be employed as a delegation secretary at this consulate and was accepted because the other candidates for the position of delegation secretary refused the mission to China. He served in Shanghai until November 1864, and in May 1865 Radowitz was appointed 2nd Legation Secretary in Paris, a post he held until 1867, with an interruption due to his participation in the war of 1866. The next stations in Radowitz's career were Munich and Bucharest, where he served as Consul General. In Munich he married Nadine von Ozerow, the daughter of the Russian envoy to Bavaria (1868). From 1872 to 1880, Radowitz was employed in the Federal Foreign Office, with appointments as ambassador in Athens (25 June 1874), the mission to Petersburg (1875), the Berlin Congress (1878) and the mission to Paris (1880). After his stay in Athens, Radowitz was appointed ambassador of the German Reich in Constantinople in 1882 (until 1892) and subsequently in Madrid, where he remained until 1908, when he retired from diplomatic service. In 1906, together with Count von Tattenbach, he was the German representative at the Algeciras Conference, which was held from January to April 1906.

Mulert (1849-1937). They had five children: Edith (born 1876), Agnes (1878-1922, piano player), Theodor (born 1880, major, landowner), Elisabeth (1881-1972, plant geneticist) and Gertrud (born 1883, musician). The details of the curriculum vitae were taken from the publications listed under Literature. Preliminary note: The majority of the estate was deposited in 1959 (exc. 41/1959 > no. 1-245) by a daughter of Schiemann, Prof. Elisabeth Schiemann, representing her siblings in the Secret State Archives. The estate was already in the Secret State Archives before the Second World War, but was incompletely returned to the family after the outsourcing due to the war, which then deposited the estate again in the Secret State Archives in 1959. According to the Depositalvertrag, after the death of the siblings, the property passed to the Secret State Archives PK. The following additions to the estate were subsequently acquired: 1967 Submission from the Federal Archives from the estate of Prof. Frauendienst (exc. 40/1967 > in No. 79 pp. 15-21) 1969 Depositum of Prof. Elisabeth Schiemann (exc. 56/1969 > No. 246-251) 1977 Depositum der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e. V. (Acc. 71/1977 > Appendix No. 261 - 268) 1982 Delivery of Dr. Gert v. Pistohlkors (Acc. 61/1982 > No. 255-259) 2006 Gift from Prof. Klaus Meyer: Papers were found in the estate of Prof. Torke and were handed over in 1967 by Prof. Elisabeth Schiemann to the Seminar for Eastern European History in Berlin (Acc. 51/2006 > incorporated in No. 42, 50, 54, 172, 250 and 258 and formed new No. 252-254). In the current processing of the estate, the former Appendix No. 9-13 has been re-signed to the serial numbers No. 255-259. The deposit of the Max Planck Society, initially referred to as Appendix (Depositum) No. 1 - 8, was subsequently re-signed with sequential numbering No. 261 - 268. (Change Jan. 2011 Wiss. Ang. Rita Klauschenz) The original find book probably came from the years 1959/60 and was created by Johannes Krüger. The old distortion was partly revised during the incorporation of this year's accession, specified in case of ambiguities and entered into the distortion database. In addition, the classification was modified, the appendix listed in more detail and an index of persons was compiled. The index of persons contains all the names of persons appearing in the reference book: mainly correspondence partners ejected, but also author names and persons treated in titles of publications. When searching for specific correspondence partners, the index should be checked, since the same correspondence partner can be found in different archives due to the different acquisitions. There are also numerous correspondence folders under the classification point 01.03, which should still be included in searches for safety reasons. The estate consists mainly of numerous correspondence and publications with predominantly political content, reflecting the political views and commitment of Theodor Schiemann and his contemporaries (colleagues, friends and acquaintances). The individual letters under item 01.03 are either individual letters or only a few letters from one sender. The content of these letters is often similar, as it is always a matter of political issues and current affairs. As item 06, the estate was further enriched with documents from a daughter of Schiemann, Prof. Elisabeth Schiemann, which relate to the estate. Due to the late maturities, numbers 180, 258, 148 and Annex No. 3 probably also belong to this group, but have been left under points 03 and 04.02 in favour of the old order. There is a concordance at the search booker, with the help of which one can find a certain order number in the search book under the jumping numbers. With the introduction of the new tectonics in the Secret State Archives in January 2001, the estate of Schiemann, formerly known as I. HA Rep. 92 Schiemann, was incorporated into the newly founded VI. Family archives and estates department.

On the history of the authorities: From the Reichsdeputationshauptschluß of 1803, the territory of Württemberg up to the Treaties of Compiegne and Paris was subject to constant transformation and expansion. On May 1810, Württemberg concluded a treaty with Bavaria in Paris, which reorganized the course of the border between the two states and established a related exchange of territories. A new border line was drawn from Lake Constance to the Waldmannshofen (SHA) marking line, which ran along the rivers Iller and Tauber as far as possible. In addition to the former imperial cities of Bopfingen, Buchhorn and Ulm, Württemberg received from Bavaria all Bavarian regional courts or parts of regional courts located west of the new border (e.g. the "Landgerichtsteile"): Tettnang, Wangen, Ravensburg, Leutkirch, Söflingen, Albeck and Crailsheim). The eastern offices of Gebsattel and Weiltingen were transferred to Bavaria. On 28 October 1810, King Frederick I appointed a three-member commission to take possession of the newly acquired parts of the country and to record and clear up the course of the border. This commission consisted of the Privy Councillor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the Privy Legation Councillor Johann Peter von Feuerbach and the Privy Chief Finance Councillor Ferdinand August von Weckherlin. In cooperation with the commissioners appointed by Bavaria, it was to take care of the ownership and organisational business in the new areas. Local officials were added to the Commissioners to assist them. The Commission was urged to forward reports and complaints to the higher authority in Stuttgart, the Committee for the Implementation of the latest State Treaties - consisting of the State Ministers Graf von Mandelslohe, Graf von Taube and von Reischach - (see D 29 Bü 1). Ulm, the main acquisition of the state treaty, was chosen as the main administrative seat. In November and December 1810, the commissioners were active on site except in Ulm to take possession. From March 1811, border clearing commissioners were appointed. The focus of the commission's work in 1810 was on the formal occupation of the new villages: Application of patents, swearing-in of subjects, etc. At the beginning of 1811, the Commission's activities focused on the organisation of the parts of the territory, the takeover of the servants and civil servants and the recording of assets and debts for the purpose of reconciliation with Bavaria. At the same time, under the leadership of Major General Heinrich von Theobald and the Privy Legation Council of Feuerbach, border cleaning business began in the upper offices. In April 1811, he was recalled from Feuerbach to Ulm to take over the debt and servant department. The Privy Legation Council of Wucherer replaced him for a short time. From March to mid-July, the commission in Ulm included the Landvogteisteuerrat Tafel and the registrar Kappoll Oberrechnungsrat Carl Eberhardt Weissmann, von Feuerbach, Rechnungsrat Vetter and, at times, Graf von Zeppelin, while von Weckherlin was in Stuttgart. With the return of Weckherlin to Ulm in July 1811 von Feuerbach again took over the clearing of the border. In Ulm, only Weckherlin and Weissmann were left behind, because the Commission's business increasingly shifted to the division of debts between Bavaria and Württemberg. The recording of assets and liabilities and the establishment of asset and liability capital of the cities and camera offices now determined the commission transactions. In March/April 1812, the entry and exit journals of the Commission end in Ulm (cf. D 29 Bü 5 - 6). In June 1812, the commissioner von Feuerbach, who was responsible for border clearance, went to Munich to clarify the questions still open at the new border (cf. D 29 Bü 157). Following this conference, the Main Execution Treaty of Munich was signed in September 1812. This marked the beginning of the second stage of border cleaning (cf. D 29 Bü 158). The questions of the distribution of debts with Bavaria, which were also still open, were taken over by Weissmann's Upper Council of Account, who travelled to Augsburg in April 1813 to the Debt Redemption Fund. Subsequently, this task was taken over by the Section of State Accounts, the predecessor authority of the Upper Chamber of Accounts, and the Section of Crown Domains. On the history of the holdings: The files of the royal Property Seizure Commission, which were created in Ulm between 1810 and 1812, were transferred by the Upper Chamber of Accounts to the Ludwigsburg Financial Archive in 1835 (cf. StAL E 224a Bü 75). In the case of the files, two lists of files presumably compiled by the Oberrechnungskammer with an index of facts, persons and places were appended. Until 1949 the file directories served as finding aids, the registry numbers I - CXXXIII already assigned by the Ulm authority and the fascicle numbers CXXXIV No. 1 - 28 presumably added later at the Oberrechnungskammer were retained as archive signatures (= presignature 2). Already when the files were taken over in 1835, 18 fascicles were registered as missing. In 1847 a revision took place in which the missing fascicles were marked again. The stock was relocated for several years. The files originally stored at the beginning of inventory D 21, Central Organizing Commission, have now been placed at its end. In 1908, the files of the Take-over Commission were transferred from the Financial Archive to the Ludwigsburg State Branch Archive. Before the year 1949 4 more tufts were added, which, listed by K. O. Müller, received the signature CXXXIV No. 29 - 32. In 1949 another revision took place, in which all existing files were signed through according to numerus currens; the numbering resulted in 146 tufts of files (= presignature 3). In 1987, 14 tufts from the HStA Stuttgart arrived in Ludwigsburg, which were sorted out when the inventory E 36, 2 Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was indexed and divided (= presignature 1). The files concerning the foundation system partly had file numbers of the Ulm registry, among them were 6 fascicles of the files already noted as missing when they were taken over into the archive. These files were added to the inventory and were given the numbers 147 - 161. In 1990, 37 tufts from the inventory E 36, 2 (Fasz. 23 - 33) 37 were again delivered from the main state archive Stuttgart. In 1994, 3 more tufts were added. On the occasion of the distortion and allocation of the tufts which arrived in 1990, it was decided to register and order the entire stock anew. The collection is divided into two large parts according to the development of the registry and the place where the files were created. Part 1 consists of the files that have grown and been filed with the Besitzergreifungskommission in Ulm. The files, most of which came from Stuttgart, form part 2 of the collection. These are the official files of the Commissioner von Feuerbach which arose outside Ulm during the settlement of the border clearance transaction. It is likely that von Feuerbach, who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during and after his commission activities, took the files with him to this location, from where they then reached the old registry there. The Commissioner and Privy Legation Council of Feuerbach's area of responsibility did not only extend to border cleaning; at times he was also assigned the debt and servant department (cf. history of the authorities).the relatively small file units of the two registries were retained in the records; only in a few cases were files merged. Only old envelopes were collected. Especially in the case of the files presumably filed with the upper arithmetic chamber, foreign provenances were found. These altogether eight tufts or parts of tufts were inserted into the corresponding stocks (cf. concordance). Within these groups, a breakdown has been made by business and function of the Commission. An attempt was made to structure both parts equally. A comparison of the existing files with the find book presumably produced at the Oberrechnungskammer (cf. D 29 Bü 9) shows that the inventory is no longer complete. The re-drawing was carried out in 1994 by Mrs Sibylle Kraiss under the direction of the undersigned.
