Formation history: By order of the "Army Group Gaede", control of border traffic between the Grand Duchy of Baden and Switzerland was organised militarily as early as October 1914. The catenary of the border guard was transferred to Colonel von Liebenstein. The staff began its work on 2 November 1914 in Lörrach. Landstorm units were assigned to him to fulfil his tasks. The scope of duties included protection against the import and export of unauthorized information, the prevention of espionage, the surveillance of the movement of goods, the control of persons and the search for deserters and escaped prisoners of war. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained with the clearinghouse of the infantry regiment 114. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps began, in which the archives of the clearinghouses 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). 20 fascicles with a circumference of 0.30 linear metres are included in the holdings.
