28th Cavalry Brigade: The 28th Cavalry Brigade was formed on 01.07.1871 from the former Baden Cavalry Brigade. First the Dragoner regiments 20 and 22 were subordinated to the brigade. From 1890 the brigade was assigned the Dragoner Regiment 21 to replace the retiring Dragoner Regiment 22. At the time of the mobilization the unit with the regiments assigned to it was subordinated to the 6th Cavalry Division. From February to 10 April 1917 the staff was known as the "Brigade Graf Spee". On 21 May 1918 the unit was renamed Kavallerie-Schützen-Kommando 28. The formation was deployed until 03.11.1914 on the western theater of war and afterwards until March 1918 on the eastern theater of war. From April 1918 it was used again in the West. The commanding generals were:1871 to 1875major General of Willisen1875 to 1882major General Count of Lynar1882 to 1883major General of Hänisch1883 to 1885major General of Strantz1885 to 1888major General Edler of Planitz1888 to 1892major General Baron of Schleinitz1892 to 1893major General of Nickischisch1888 to 1892major General of Schleinitz1892 to 1893major General of Nickischisch1882 to 1883major General of Hänisch1883 to 1885major General of Strantz1885 to 1888major General of Planitz1888 to 1892major General Baron of Schleinitz1892 to 1893major General of NickischischRosenegk1893 to 1897 Major General from Rabe1897 to 1900 Major General Count von Klinckowström1900 to 1903 Major General from Hausmann1903 to 1908 Major General from Keller1908 to 1912 Major General Maximilian Alexander Prince from Baden1912 to 1913 Major General from Arnim1913 to 20.09.1916 Major General Udo von Selchow20.09.1916 to 27.02.1918 Colonel Heribert Count of Spee27.02.1918 to 27.09.1918 Colonel Karl Count of Kageneck03.10.1918 to 08.02.1919Lieutenant Colonel Konrad von Stotzingen.

January 1919 in the Free State Baden the new formation of the Baden people's army began with the acceptance of volunteers. As a reaction to the so-called "Spartacus Uprising" in February 1919, the Reich and Badische Volksregierung had further voluntary associations set up at all units in addition to the existing voluntary formations. 29th Cavalry Brigade: The 29th Cavalry Brigade was set up on 01.07.1871 with its official seat in Freiburg. First the Dragoner regiments 14 and 21 were subordinated to the brigade. From 1890 she was assigned the Dragoner Regiment 22 for Dragoner Regiment 21, which was retiring from the federation. In 1899 the office moved from Freiburg to Mulhouse in Alsace. The Hunter Regiment on Horse No. 5 was assigned to the Brigade for the Dragoner Regiment 14 after its establishment in 1908. The Brigade Staff was disbanded during the mobilization in 1914 and was only re-established in January 1919. For this reason there are no files available for the period from August 1914 to December 1918.The commanding generals were:1871 to 1873General major of Reckow1873 to 1881General major August Count of Solms-Wildenfels1881 to 1886General major of Meyerinck1886 to 1890General major of Knesebeck1890 to 1892General major of Diepenbroick-Grüter1892 to 1895 Major General of Lieres and Wilkau1895 to 1898 Major General of Kuhlmay1898 to 1900 Colonel Seederer1900 to 1902 Major General Knight of Longchamps-Berier1902 to 1904 Major-General of Rothkirch and Panthen1904 to 1905 Colonel of Rauch1905 to 1908 Major-General of Koppe1908 to 1910 Major-General of Bernuth1919 to 1913 Major-General of Dumrath1913 to 1914 Colonel of Graevenitz Inspection of the Replacement Escadrillas of the XIV century Army Corps: The replacement escadrilles left behind during the mobilization of the cavalry regiments leaving for the field to ensure the replacement were subject to the inspection of the replacement escadrilles of the XIV Army Corps, which was established analogously to the mobilization plan. The inspection was also responsible for the reserve replacement escadron newly set up during the mobilization, which was, however, dissolved again with the reduction of the cavalry formations in 1917. One of the main tasks of the inspection was to supervise the training and the horse material. In December 1918 the formation was dissolved during the demobilisation. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files of the staff of the 28th Cavalry Brigade and the inspection of the replacement escadrilles of the XIV Army Corps remained at the settlement office of the Dragoner Regiment 20 as well as the files of the staff of the 29th Cavalry Brigade at the Dragoner Regiment 22. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps was begun, in which the archives of the settlement offices were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archives Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 64 fascicles with a volume of 1.50 bibliographical references are included in the holdings: Die Badener im Weltkrieg 1914/18, edited by Wilhelm Müller-Loebnitz, Karlsruhe 1935.German Military History in six volumes 1648-1939, edited by the Militärgeschichtlichen Forschungsamt Freiburg, Munich 1983.Fenske, Hans: Die Verwaltung im Ersten Weltkrieg, in: Deutsche Verwaltungsgeschichte, vol. 3, Stuttgart 1984, p. 866-908.Fischer, Joachim: Zehn Jahre Militärarchiv des Hauptstaatsarchivs Stuttgart, in: Zeitschrift für Württembergische Landesgeschichte 37 (1978), p. 362-368.Jäger, Harald: Das militärische Archivgut in der Bundesrepublik für die Zeit von 1871 bis 1919, in: Militärgeschichtliche Mitteilungen 1968/2, S. 135-138.Overview of the holdings of the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart, edited by Joachim Fischer (published by the Staatliche Archivverwaltung Baden-Württemberg, vol. 31), Stuttgart 1983.

Corps History: The Corps was established according to the mobilization plan in August 1914 and disbanded during the demobilization in 1918. At the beginning of the war, the corps was subordinated to the 7th Army and divided into two reserve divisions (26th and 28th reserve divisions). During the war it was used only on the western theater of war. The structure of the corps staffs was the same everywhere at the beginning of the war. The Commanding General was assisted by a Chief of the General Staff as co-responsible advisor and superior of all organs of the Staff. The staffs were divided into the General Staff Division I (I a leadership, I b rear services, I c enemy position), Adjutantur II (II a officer's personnel, II b personal service at the General, II c team substitute and horse affairs), Feldjustiz III, Intendantur- und Kassenwesen IV a, Sanitätswesen IV b, Veterinärwesen IV c, Militärseelsorge IV d, Feldpost, Kommandant des Hauptquartiers und Feldgendarmerie.

Regiment history: The regiment was rebuilt on 22 October 1852 as the 3rd Line Infantry Regiment. On 1 July 1871 it was renamed the 3rd Baden Infantry Regiment. As a result of the military convention concluded with Prussia and the associated numbering of the units, the addition no. 111 was added at the same time, following the Prussian model. From 18 December 1892, the unit was given the final designation of 3rd Baden Infantry Regiment Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm No. 111. When war broke out, the regiment belonged to the 56th Infantry Brigade (28th Infantry Division). At the beginning of the war, each infantry regiment, including the Reserve and Landwehr infantry regiments, had set up a replacement battalion for the training of replacements. In January 1915, a further replacement battalion was ordered. In addition to the training of the army replacement, new units were also formed by the replacement battalions. The 1st replacement battalion was erected on 2 August 1914 and stationed in Rastatt. The 2nd replacement battalion was also formed in Rastatt in February 1915. As a result of the demobilisation, from 2 May 1919 only the General Command, four higher dissolution staffs and one liquidation post each for each of the infantry and artillery regiments that were part of the peace budget before 1914 remained in the area of the XIV Army Corps. As a reaction to the so-called "Spartacus Uprising" in February 1919, the Reich and Badische Volksregierung had further voluntary associations set up at all units in addition to the existing voluntary formations.

Regiment history: The regiment was established on 1 April 1890. At the outbreak of war, it was part of the 58th Infantry Brigade (29th Infantry Division). at the beginning of the war, each infantry regiment, including the Reserve and Landwehr Infantry Regiments, had set up a replacement battalion for the training of replacements. In January 1915 the erection of another replacement battalion was ordered. In addition to the training, new troops were set up by the replacement battalions. The 1st Replacement Battalion was erected at the beginning of August 1914 and stationed in Müllheim. The Second Replacement Battalion was erected in February 1915 and moved to Heitersheim. As a result of the demobilisation, from 2 May 1919 only the General Command, four higher dissolution staffs and one liquidation post each for each of the infantry and artillery regiments that were part of the peace budget before 1914 remained in the area of the XIV Army Corps. As a reaction to the so-called "Spartacus Uprising" in February 1919, the Reich and Badische Volksregierung had further voluntary associations set up at all units in addition to the existing voluntary formations.

As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which after the end of the Second World War took over the administration of the holdings of the Stuttgart Army Archives, handed over the records of the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archive in Karlsruhe between 1947 and 1949.

Find aids: delivery list (internal) registry formers: The Landes-Heil- und Pflege-Anstalt Bernburg was opened on 1 October 1875 after a construction period of two years. First director was Dr. Moritz Fränkel. One year later she was placed under the command of the Landarmendirektion. Initially, the institution was able to admit 132 patients. The number of patients increased in the following decades and reached a peak of 424 in 1914. 19 male and female nurses were employed to look after the sick, their positions being occupied by deaconesses from Neuendettelsau and from 1885 from the Oberlinhaus in Nowawes near Potsdam. In 1882, an agricultural "colony" was attached to the institution for the purpose of occupational therapy. During the National Socialist era, part of the institution was separated and used as a "euthanasia" institution. More than 14000 people died in their gas chambers in the years 1940-1943 within the framework of the "Aktion T4" and the "Sonderbehandlung 14 f 13". In 1942 the hospital was renamed several times under the auspices of the state - "Anhaltische Nervenklinik", "Nervenklinik Bernburg", "Bezirkskrankenhaus für Psychiatrie und Neurologie" and "Landeskrankenhaus Bernburg" - before the "Salus gGmbH" took over the hospital in 2000. Inventory information: Irrespective of the changes in naming and social conditions, the collection reflects the period from the establishment of the Landes-Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Bernburg in 1875 to the 1970s of the 20th century. In terms of content, the Bernburger Anstalt has almost exclusively handed down patient-related medical records, some of which were also available after 1945 separately for diseases. No files from the hospital administration have been transferred to the state archives. The so-called euthanasia patient files are kept in the Federal Archives in the inventory of the Führer's Chancellery, Hauptamt IIb - R 179. The files were taken over in the years 1999, 2000 and 2010-2015. Of the offered medical files, the years up to 1949 were taken over completely and only a small selection of the other patient-related files were taken over into the archive. For almost all of the transferred files, directories had been created by the hospital on which, arranged according to diseases and the respective year of departure of the patient, the personal data of the patient are contained.

Alfred Graf von Waldersee was born in Potsdam on April 8, 1832, the son of the general of the cavalry Franz von Waldersee. The Waldersees, which originated from an originally Anhalt noble family and later settled in the Mark Brandenburg, served the Prussian state primarily as officers and can therefore be counted among the Prussian military nobility. After his education in his parents' house and in the cadet corps, Waldersee left the latter in 1850 as an officer in the guards artillery and was an adjutant of the 1st artillery inspection in 1858 bus in 1859 and was transferred to the general staff and promoted to major in 1866 by Captain, Prince Charles of Prussia's adjutant in 1865. Waldersee took part in the campaign in Bohemia in the large headquarters, came to the general command of the 10th army corps in Hanover after peace, became military attaché in Paris and aide to the wing in 1870, joined the mobilization as the large headquarters, became chief of the general staff of the army department of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1871 and was chief of staff of the governor of Paris, while German troops stood in Paris, then from June to September business bearer of the German government in the French Republic. Waldersee then retired into practical service as colonel and commander of the 13th Uhlan Regiment, became chief of the general staff of the 10th army corps in 1873, major general and general à la suite in 1880. In 1882 he became Quartermaster General and representative of the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, in the same year Lieutenant General, soon afterwards Adjutant General of the Emperor. Promoted General of the Cavalry under Emperor Friedrich in 1888, Waldersee was soon appointed Chief of Staff of the Army as successor of Muldke after the accession to the throne of Emperor Wilhelm II and was also appointed to the manor house and to the Council of State. In 1891 he was appointed commander general of the 9th army corps, in September 1895 general colonel of the cavalry. In April 1898 he was relieved of his commanding general position and appointed Inspector General of the 3rd Army Inspectorate. In May 1901 he was promoted to General Field Marshal. By agreement between the allied powers he was given the supreme command during the Chinese Boxer Uprising in the province of Pechili, which he held from September 27, 1900 to June 4, 1901. After his return to Germany he took over the 3rd army inspection again. Since 1874 Count Waldersee was married to an American, the widow of Prince Noer, Marie Esther Lee. Waldersee died in Hanover on 5 March 1904. The Waldersee estate was transferred to the Prussian Secret State Archives in 1935. The estate was published by H. O. Meisner in "Memories of Field Marshal Alfred Grafen v. Waldersee", 3 vol., Stuttgart - Berlin 1922/23 H. O. Meisner "From the correspondence of the General Field Marshal Alfred Grafen v. Waldersee", vol. 1 1886 - 1897, Stuttgart - Berlin 1928 H. O. Meisner "Briefwechsel zwischen dem Chef des Generalstabes Grafen v. Waldersee und dem Militärattaché in Petersburg Graf York v. Wartenburg", 1885 - 1897, in: Hist. Polit. Archive 1930 Vol. I, p. 133 - 192 Fornaschon, Wolfgang "Die politischen Anschauungen des Grafen Alfred v. Waldersee und seine Stellungnahme zur deutschen Politik", Berlin 1935, Hist. Stud. 273 During the reorganization of the estate, attempts were made to bring related pieces, such as diaries and the private files of Waldersee, which had been torn apart by the processing, back into their original context. In cases where a large number of exhibitors were present, the letters were sorted alphabetically. Individual, already existing folders were only sorted chronologically. The letters were also included individually. This detailed list can be found in Appendix 1 of the repertory. For all other letters, a chronological order has been established and an alphabetical register has been created (Annex 2) to make it easier to find individual persons. The large number of newspaper clippings was also sorted chronologically and placed in individual folders. The relevant register (Appendix 3) contains all the available newspapers, listed separately for German and foreign newspapers. No exact signature is given, only the year has been included. The signatures are completely new. Each number is foil-wrapped, the number of sheets is on the inside cover. Additions to Waldersee's diaries contain the number of pages, marked with the letters a ff. The notes and markings with pencil and crayon originate from earlier adaptations, as well as the cutting up of individual pages. For practical reasons, the subsequent separation of individual numbers into several volumes was made during the bookbinding treatment of the estate.
