Preliminary remark: The documents in this inventory include the trade, commercial and customs matters directly concerning Württemberg as well as documents on the role of Württemberg in the German Customs Union. These include the individual sectors of the manufacturing industry, but also the banking sector. The inventory E 40/56 consists of the following registry headings: "Internal" for trade and industry from E 41 Verz. 63 and E 46 "Salt works" from E 46 and "Salt and salt industry" from E 41 Verz. 63 "Applications" for trade and industry" from E 41 Verz. 63 and E 49 Supplement 1938 "Zoll / Handel" from E 36 Verz. F In addition, there are some documents from E 36 Verz. 60 and E 41 Verz. 63, which were filed according to the country headings. In particular, further holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may be relevant for the areas listed below: Economic Policy, Trade and Commerce in the German Reich: E 40/16 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Allgemeine Außenpolitik, Norddeutscher Bund, Deutsches Reich, Bundesrat und Bundesangelegenheiten 1866-1918Prints on trade and industry: E 40/37 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Press matters, submission of printed works, copyrightState banking and finance: E 40/52 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Public finances, real estate, statistics and topographyCommercial police: E 40/54 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Police mattersWarfare economy: E 40/72 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Kriegssachen und Militärangelegenheiten und E 74 Württembergische Gesandtschaft in BerlinHandelsschulen: E 40/74 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Science, Culture, Church and School AffairsCommercial Legislation: E 40/76 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: JusticeThe majority of the title recordings were made by Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl at the end of the 1990s. Since the allocation of categories in the old lists was very inconsistent, so that further growth was always to be expected, the inventory was left for a longer period of time as a temporary solution and the completion of the finding aid book was waited until the completion of all title entries and their final allocation. The stock now comprises 531 tufts (4.4 m).Stuttgart, in February 2011Johannes Renz c) nationality mark: A]Austria [B]Belgium [BR]Brazil [CH]Switzerland [CHN]People's Republic of China [CZ]Czech Republic [DK]Denmark [E]Spain [EAT]Tanzania [F]France [UK]Great Britain and Northern Ireland [GR]Greece [H]Hungary [I]Italy [IRL]Ireland [J]Japan [JA]Jamaica [MEX]Mexico [NL]Netherlands [NL]Netherlands [PE]Peru [PL]Poland [RI]Indonesia [RUS]Russia [TR]Turkey [USA]United States of America
Preliminary remark: This collection contains documents of the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Württemberg legations in Florence and Rome. Only a small part of these documents is related to the legation to the Kingdom of Italy, but mainly to the legation to the Papal States, to which the city of Rome belonged until 1870. A more comprehensive historical account of the two legations and the Württemberg consulate in Rome is contained in the preliminary remarks to the holdings E 70 d (Württemberg legation in Italy) and E 70 r (Württemberg consulate in Rome), which form the counter tradition. The holdings were formed by Kurt Hochstuhl from the relevant documents of the earlier holdings E 70 and E 73, who also edited the title recordings. The transfer of the title recordings into ScopeArchive and the creation of an online-capable finding aid was done by the undersigned. The total volume of the new stock now comprises 47 tufts or 0.9 linear metres of shelving. Stuttgart, August 2007Johannes Renz
Preliminary remark: This collection contains documents of the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Württemberg legation in Munich. A more detailed historical account of the Württemberg legation or the consulate in Munich is contained in the preliminary remark to the holdings E 75 (Württemberg legation in Munich), which forms the counterpart to E 50/05. The holdings were formed by Kurt Hochstuhl from the relevant documents of the earlier holdings E 41 (Verz. 64), E 46, E 49 (Verz. 22), E 70, E 71 and E 73, who also edited the title recordings. The transfer of the title recordings into ScopeArchive and the creation of an online-capable finding aid was done by the undersigned. The total volume of the new stock now comprises 270 tufts or 6.6 linear metres of shelving.

Preliminary remark: With the foundation of the German Reich in January 1871 and the establishment of the Foreign Office as an imperial institution, the powers of the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs were severely restricted and most Württemberg missions abroad were dissolved in the following years. However, through official correspondence with various institutions of the North German Confederation and later of the German Reich, numerous documents were gathered from which the present holdings were formed. This consists of the following parts:E 36 Verz. F (only one file)E 46 "B[andes] A[ngelegenheiten]", formerly Bü 251 - 590 und 1265 - 1266 (m. L.)E 49 Verz. 3 "B[andes] A[ngelegenheiten]"E 49 Verz. 22, rubrics "Bundesr[at]" and "Reich "A detailed history of the ministry can be found in the preface to fonds E 40/10, to which reference is made here.Since the North German Federation, like the Second German Reich, was already dominated by Prussia, the year 1866, in which the German Federation was finally dissolved and Austria's supremacy in Germany ended, appeared as a suitable border year for the General Acts on General Foreign Policy. In the end, the collection reaches back to the time of the early Weimar Republic, since a border year of 1918 became superfluous due to the dissolution of the ministry in 1920. The documents cover all general matters concerning the North German Federation (from 1867) and the German Reich (from 1871). This also includes the files concerning the imperial legations and consulates, which partially replaced the Württemberg missions abroad (cf. holdings E 50/00 - E 50/61 as well as E 65 - E 75). However, the documents concerning relations with the individual German federal states are not included in the inventory. Since here a considerable number of files chronologically exceed the "cut-off year" 1866/67 on both sides, a separation did not seem to make sense here. Questions of territory with the neighbouring states of Württemberg for the period of the early Kingdom of Württemberg are to be found in inventory E 40/11 (acquisitions of territory from 1806 onwards), later smaller border clearings and general foreign policy relations with the other German federal states in inventory E 40/14. The section "German Affairs 1866 - 1871", in which the ministerial tradition of the emergence of the Second German Empire and in particular the wars waged in the run-up to it (German War 1866 and Franco-German War 1870/71) is located, was again completely added to inventory E 40/72 (war matters and military matters), since here the political and military aspects are extremely closely interlinked. Numerous other documents on Württemberg's relations with Prussia, the North German Federation, its position as the federal state of the German Reich and its involvement in federal affairs within the framework of the Bundesrat are kept in inventory E 74 (Württemberg Embassy in Berlin), since the respective Württemberg envoy in Berlin was at the same time also authorized representative to the Bundesrat. In these cases, it is therefore possible to speak in part of a counter tradition to the existing stock, which now comprises 841 tufts or 16.30 linear metres of shelving. Most of the title recordings were made by Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl at the end of the 1990s. The final editorial office was provided by the undersigned.

The Württemberg Embassy in Switzerland was established in the first half of 1807 in connection with the conclusion of a trade agreement between Württemberg and Switzerland. After the recall of the envoy in 1817 it remained unoccupied(1). It was not until 1865, again in the course of a trade agreement, that it was re-established and existed until a large part of Württemberg foreign policy was transferred to the Reich in 1871(2). Württemberg envoys in Switzerland were: Johann Baptist Martin Edler Arand von Ackerfeld, Legation Council (June 1807-Jan. 1812) August Friedrich von Batz (Febr. 1812-Jan. 1814) Carl Philipp von Kaufmann, Privy Legation Councillor (Jan. 1814-Dec. 1817) Friedrich Heinrich Karl Freiherr Hugo von Spitzemberg (1865-Oct. 1866) Maximilian Adolf Freiherr von Ow, Privy Legation Councillor and Chamberlain (Oct. 1866-July 1871). The envoy of Ow proposed in 1866 the establishment of a consulate in Bern, whose consul was to represent him during his stays in Florence as an envoy in Italy and "take care of the current business, unless it requires special diplomatic treatment", for example passport matters; this was approved by King Charles in November 1866, consul in Bern became the merchant Albert Rooschütz (Nov. 1866-May 1873). In the absence of the envoy, his registry was kept and continued by the consul, also from 1871 until the dissolution of the consulate in 1873(3). The seat of the envoy was presumably Zurich until December 1816, and then permanently Bern(4). In 1865-1871 the legation and the consulate were located in the same building, probably in the house Hirschengraben 171, where the envoy lived(5). The files of the first registration layer (1807-1817) were probably sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs soon after the envoy was recalled. In the "Archive Register" of 1873(6), only the files of the second layer (1865-1873) are listed; these came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1877. The delivery to the Staatsfilialarchiv and classification into the later holdings E 70 under directory numbers 52 and 52 a (for the first or second registration layer, with overlaps) probably took place before 1896, since the files of directory 53 were already there at that time(7). The State Archives presumably received the holdings together with other diplomatic files and holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1901(8). The lists of singles are kept in holdings E 61 x volume 35 and 37. The corresponding counter-files from the registry of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are to be found in holdings E 50/16 (Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerning the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). In the first registration layer, correspondence series predominate, especially for relations (diplomatic reports to the king); documents on international treaties were created as fact files. In the second registration layer, both subject files and subject series were formed, and finally both registration layers contain individual case files on subjects' affairs.the categories I-III of the second registration layer were recorded in 1971 by archive assistant Herwig John, the processors of the remaining files could no longer be determined.the old registration signature of the "archive register" serving as an order criterion is listed as pre-signature 1, the old archive signature as pre-signature 2.The stock E 70 v comprises 110 tufts (1.8 running m).Stuttgart, in May 2000 Hartmut Obst(1) cf.

1st history of the Württemberg legation in Berlin: There was a Württemberg legation in Berlin from the 18th century until 1933. Until 1870/71, she was responsible for Württemberg's relations with the Kingdom of Prussia, then also with the German Empire, and the Württemberg envoys in Berlin were, among other things: Johannes Nathanael Freiherr von Schunckum 1720Friedrich Graf von Seckendorfum 1730 - 1733Johann Eberhard Georgii1741 - 1744Christoph Dietrich von Keller1744 - 1749Gottfried von Hochstetterum 1751 - 1757Tobias Faudel (Resident)about 1793/94Reckert (Resident)about 1795Christoph von Seckendorfum 1799Ferdinand Friedrich Freiherr von Nicolaium 1800/01August Friedrich Batz1801 - 1803Gustav Heinrich Freiherr von Mylius 1803 - October 1806Hermann Freiherr von Wimpffen July 1807- ?Carl Philipp von Kaufmann, Legation Councillor January 1811 - February 1813Friedrich Wilhelm Carl Freiherr von Scheeler July 1814 - May 1815Franz Joseph Freiherr von Linden, Legation Secretary May - November 1815August von Neuffer December 1815 - May 1816Franz Joseph Freiherr von Linden, Legation Secretary May - July 1816Gottfried Jonathan von Harttmann, Legation Secretary October 1816 - January 1817Friedrich Freiherr von Phull, Lieutenant General January 1817 - 1820Ulrich Leberecht Graf von Mandelsloh (interim) July - September 1820Karl Friedrich Wagner, Legation Councillor 1821, 1823 - 1824Georg Ernst Levin Graf von Wintzingerode 1820 - 1825Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Bismark 1825 - 1844August von Blomberg, Legation Councillor 1826 - 1829Franz à Paula Freiherr von Linden, Legation Council 1830 - 1844Julius Baron von Maucler 1844 - 1845Ludwig von Reinhardt 1846 - 1850Carl Eugen Baron von Hügel 1850 - 1852Franz à Paula Baron von Linden 1852 - 1866Friedrich Heinrich Karl Baron Hugo von Spitzemberg 1866 - 1880Fidel von Baur-Breitenfeld 1881 - 1886Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin 1887 - 1889Rudolf Friedrich Karl von Moser 1890 - 1893Theodor Axel Freiherr von Varnbüler 1894 - 1918Karl Hildenbrand 1918 - 1924Otto Bosler1924 - 1933 (1934) : Since the foundation of the Reich in 1871, the Württemberg envoys in Berlin have also acted as plenipotentiaries to the Bundesrat. Since the end of the 19th century, the legation was located at Voßstraße 10. The legation building was erected by government councillor Georg Wilhelm von Mörner. After the end of the legation in 1933, the building was bought up by the Reich in 1937 and demolished one year later, as the new Reich Chancellery was planned at this location. the ministerial counterpart to stock E 74 until the end of the monarchy in Germany in 1918 is in stock E 50/03, further documents concerning the Württemberg legation in Berlin for the time before 1806 in the stocks A 16 a, A 74 c and the time after 1918 in the stocks of the Württemberg State Ministry (E 130 a-c). 2nd inventory history and processing report: The documents of the present inventory were handed over to the former Württemberg State Archive Stuttgart in 1932. Another delivery received in 1937 was burnt during the Second World War. The largest part of the documents contains federal affairs of the German Reich, in which the Württemberg envoy was involved as an authorized representative of the Bundesrat. Particularly noteworthy are documents on the regulation of tax legislation between the German Reich and the federal states, on the war economy during the First World War, but also on economic supply in the post-war period. Particularly in the field of food supply, there is a substitute tradition for the documents of the Württemberg Ministry of Food destroyed in the Second World War. Many of the more recent documents contain large amounts of Reichstag and Bundesrat printed matter, but due to correspondence with Württemberg authorities they are not to be regarded as a double tradition of the files of the institutions of the German Reich kept in the Federal Archives.In the years 2008 - 2009 the documents were made accessible by the archive officers René Hanke, Mathias Kunz and Andreas Neuburger, the archive inspectors Wolfram Berner, Sylvia Güntheroth, Antje Hauschild and Stephanie Kurrle as well as the interns Christa Ackermann and Fabian Fechner under the guidance of the undersigned, some parts were also made accessible by the undersigned himself. Rudolf Bezold was responsible for the subsequent archiving of the documents. The total volume of the stock comprises 40 volumes and 958 tufts in the volume of 34.3 linear metres of shelving.Stuttgart, in October 2011Johannes Renz b) nationality mark: A]Austria [BY]Belarus [CH]Switzerland [CHN]People's Republic of China [CZ]Czech Republic [E]Spain [EAT]Tanzania [F]France [I]Italy [NAM]Namibia [P]Portugal [PL]Poland [RT]Togo [RUS]Russia [TR]Turkey [UA]Ukraine
