The archive of the von Schiber family from Munich: "It was a dear time, the good old time before anno 14. In Bavaria even cooked. The beer was still dark, the people warned typically; the lads dashing, the dirndls decent and the dignitaries a bit distinguished and a bit casual. There was still a lot in order back then". This is how Georg Lohmeier characterizes his Success series "Königlich bayerisches Amtsgericht" the Prinzregentenzeit, historically, the time of the bourgeoisie. Today the beer is no longer dark and many other things have changed a lot. Thus the last relics of this time gradually disappear, the time of the Bildungsbürgertum with its pronounced status consciousness from the traditional Munich, which in retrospect turned out to be an extraordinary stroke of luck, when in the summer of 2013 Wolfgang von Schiber was in the State Archives Munich asked about the possibility of archiving his family archive, that he wanted his father's life's work to be in good and professional hands. Already the first very rough sighting of the wooden crates made especially for the archiving of the documents let assume, that this is a very extraordinary, with much love and expertise invested family archive of an educated citizen from the 19th century. and the beginning of the 20th century. To anticipate: the first impression was surpassed by far after a more intensive inspection and development. After the archive had been transferred to the State Archives in Munich, it was possible to begin the indexing of the holdings in the premises there. In the case of such cataloguing activities, an attempt is first made to reconstruct a pre-archival order, which promises a first clue for a meaningful thematic structure of the documents. In the case of the Schiber´schen archive, this was quite simple, since a numbering was attached to the wooden boxes. The very first files brought to light almost unbelievable things: Files on the tectonics of the archive, on the classification according to family history topics, on the storage of the archive in wooden boxes and finally the number books. In these books were all over 25 books handed down in the family archive.000 documents with consecutive numbers were entered and the note was also added, under which case reference the letters had been filed. The file numbers themselves also had their own structure, mainly according to genealogical aspects. In addition, there is also an archive usage order and an order scheme graded according to colour characteristics. The creator of this comprehensive order was Wilhelm von Schiber (1889-1963), the father of the donor. Wilhelm, a native of Munich, graduated from the Theresiengymnasium in Munich and then studied in Heidelberg, Munich, Kiel and Erlangen, and was subsequently an active combatant from 1914-1918. From this time approx. 1000 field letters from and to him; in addition he kept a war diary, which the passionate draughtsman occasionally enriched with sketches. But that's not all: to the war diary there are still four plant volumes in which Wilhelm von Schiber collected everything that seemed important to him: Postcards to the places of action, photographs of the troops, orders for action, tickets, emergency money, etc. After his demobilization he found a job as a government councillor at the Bavarian Insurance Chamber. After his marriage to Margarete Fischer in 1934 and the outbreak of war in 1939, he was drafted again and came as local commander of the local commander's office I/635 to the north of France. After the end of the war and an internment of almost one year he took after some time and After a long period of quarrelling with the military government, he resumed his work at the Bavarian Insurance Chamber. Throughout his life Wilhelm von Schiber was anxious to achieve this, to organize his family archive and supplement it with documents, that were transferred to him by relatives or that he actively "took over". He maintained an extensive correspondence with all his relatives, and other family members, especially on genealogical and genealogical questions. First and foremost, however, he endeavoured to create the most extensive genealogical tables and genealogical series for his ancestors, spending a lot of money commissioned by genealogists, which provided him with corresponding source excerpts and strain series, who drew them from archives of the most diverse provenance. He himself could not always devote himself to this task with the intensity he hoped for, for he came to it, as he ironically writes to the Amberg State Archives, on the always planned visit of two world wars in between. In this way numerous family files with excerpts from church books, marriage records, personal files, photographs, original letters were created, completely worked out stem rows, coat of arms drawings, Seal imprints, but also hair curls, everything arranged according to the scheme worked out by him. In addition to this activity, he also devoted himself to his literary inclinations, so he wrote - mostly under the pseudonym "Wilhelm Burkhardsberg", the place of origin of the first tangible ancestors - numerous genealogical and family history works, partly also of extensive nature, like "Die Ahnen des Wilhelm von Schiber" (1932), the "Münz- und Schaumünzkunde für Familienforscher" (1937), the story "Der von Steinsdorf" (1930), "The Ernst of Hagsdorf, the Ernst from Vohburg and their relatives" (1931), "The descendants of Johann Baptist Simon Ritter von Schiber from the house Burkhardsberg" (1957) and not to forget his "preparatory work for the family chronicle" (1911-1917). In addition, he took part in numerous prize competitions and wrote the poetry cycles "Rote Blätter" (Red Leaves), "Nature and eroticism" and "Revolution cycle" as well as numerous other poems and short stories not summarized in cycles, who usually lie dormant unpublished in his family archive. Wilhelm von Schiber probably had his passion for the family and also his level of education; he was fluent in English, French and Latin, in which he even wrote his diaries in his youth, inherited from his father, Franz Xaver von Schiber (1834-1920). "Xavier" or "Boraxl," as his nicknames were, was also a lawyer and could have made a great career in the diplomatic service due to his excellent grades, but remained in the Bavarian administrative service at the express request of his father. From April 1868 he was the youngest Bavarian district official in parish churches, subsequently in Fürth, Wasserburg and Berchtesgaden from 1878-1888 Bezirksamtmann in Lindau. He was reluctant to leave his beloved Lindau for Munich, but his troubled health made a retreat into private life seem advisable. He had to go to the neurology clinic.wittelsbach" in Munich and devoted himself entirely to his self-chosen tasks, primarily the publication of an Italian dictionary. The rejection of the Lexi-kon by the publishers again brought him one of his severe personal disappointments. In addition, the guitar and piano played, so that in his estate there are a number of notes and songs especially for the guitar. In addition, the family archive contains his extensive diary series, numerous letters and photographs as well as a collection of business cards. He was married to his base, Sophie Maillinger (1865-1951), who came from Landau i.d. Pfalz. After the families moved to Munich in 1877, she belonged to the Barlow family's closest circle of friends, later Brown House). Here she also met Franz von Schiber, whom she married in 1888. Via Sophie von Schiber, a large part of the estate concerning the Maillinger family also came to the family archive. For the family archives, the The parents of Franz von Schiber are Gustav Achilles von Schiber and his wife Caroline Baumüller. Gustav Achilles Schiber, called "Gustl" was born in 1812 in Amberg. His father, Johann Baptist Simon Ritter von Schiber, was at that time a legal adviser at the Appellate Court in Amberg, But after his appointment the family moved to Munich in 1819, where Gustl attended the cadet school. In 1831 he became Junker in the Infantry Body Regiment and married Karoline Baumüller in 1833 in Munich's Dom. Since Gustav was an extremely talented draughtsman and gifted hobbyist, he made the traditional sewing kit temple for his bride's wedding. His skills in technical drawing were very much in line with his professional career, he was transferred to the Topographic Bureau in 1842, which at that time was housed exactly where its written and graphic legacy is once again kept today: at the Munich State Archives, the former War Department. After further career jumps to captain and major he left the association in 1863. In the private sphere Gustav, Caroline and "Xavier" were very fond of travelling, spent much time at the Ramsdorf headquarters in Lower Bavaria, which belonged to their friend Ludwig Freiherr von Verger, which is immortalized several times by Gustav in his numerous sketchbooks as well as in the Chiemsee region. In addition, there are several oil paintings from his brush in the family property. Of course, Wilhelm von Schiber had photographic reproductions made for his family archive. Following his sociability, he was a founding member of the Harbni Order (1850), a society against the animal seriousness to which a number of well-known Munich personalities belonged, e.g.B. Max von Pettenkofer. There is also a rich tradition of this in the family archive. He was also the first in the family, who, on the basis of his personal acquaintance with Franz Xaver. Gabelsberger and a penchant for the shorthand this also used, as later above all the archive founder Wilhelm von Schiber did this excessively. After her wedding, his wife Caroline Baumüller confined herself to raising children and doing the housework. She enriched the family archive with her friendship album, which shows not only the beautiful miniatures and aphorisms but also their extensive circle of friends and family. Father of Achilles and progenitor of the present line of Schiber was Johann Baptist Simon von Schiber (1770-1836) from Burkhardsberg in the Oberfalz (Lkr. Schwandorf). After studying jurisprudence and obtaining his doctorate in Ingolstadt, he initially worked as a land commissioner in Munich, from 1804 State Directorate Council to Amberg. Since 1808 he was crown fiscal at the Appellation Court in Amberg and in 1819 he was promoted to the General Fiscal Council in Munich, in 1826 to crown attorney at the K. State Ministry of Finance. Johann Baptist von Schiber died in Munich in 1836. Some of his originals have also been preserved in the family archives, especially an exchange of letters from the end of the 18th century. It deserves to be mentioned here. In addition, numerous archival documents from the State Archives Amberg, Munich State Archives and the Bavarian Main State Archives z.T. literally copied or excerpted and are attached to the personal file of Johann Baptist von Schibers. In addition to the numerous "ego-documents", such as diaries and letters, which have been described as such in current research, the friendship albums and sketchbooks a more than extensive photo library forms a crowning conclusion of the family archive. Photographs of all members of the family and all branches of the family are gathered here in two larger cartotheques. The oldest photographs certainly date back to the middle of the 19th century. So this is not only a highly remarkable source in terms of family history, but also in terms of technical history, which documents the influence of technology on the status and self-confidence of the educated bourgeoisie. That there is also a name, object and place index for the entire archive, who refers back to the number books, was no longer too surprised by the meticulousness of the archive founder. The "Schiber Family Archive" invites cultural historians, genealogists and those interested in cultural history, to trace the great time of the bourgeoisie but also its decline on the basis of its own sources. It is truly an invaluable treasure trove. Munich, August 2016 Dr. Christoph Bachmann

Rheinische MissionsgesellschaftDie Museumsstiftung Post und Telekommunikation besitzt eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Kommunikationsobjekten mit deutschem Kolonialbezug. Die 1995 gegründete, von der Deutschen Post und der Deutschen Telekom getragene Stiftung, zu der die Museen für Kommunikation Berlin, Frankfurt am Main und Nürnberg sowie das Archiv für Philatelie in Bonn gehören, geht zurück auf das 1872 in Berlin gegründete Reichspostmuseum. Der Staatssekretär des Reichspostamts Heinrich von Stephan hat der deutschen Kolonisierung tatkräftig die Wege ebnen helfen. Den Ausbau der Postdampfschifflinien begleitete die Schaffung von Kolonialpostämtern in allen deutschen Kolonien. Daher nimmt es nicht Wunder, dass das Lieblingskind von Stephan, das von ihm 1872 in Berlin zur Dokumentation und Veranschaulichung des Nachrichtenwesens und der Beförderungseinrichtungen „aller Zeiten und Völker“ zur Belehrung der Beamtenschaft und des Publikums gegründete Museum sich engagiert in den Dienst der Kolonialidee stellte. Das erste Postmuseum der Welt entwickelte sich durch eifrige Sammlung und repräsentative Ausstellung aussagekräftiger Objekte der Kolonialpostgeschichte zu einem vielbesuchten Ort kolonialherrschaftlicher Identitätsstiftung und nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg bis 1939 zu einer Stätte kolonialer Erinnerung und des Kolonialrevisionismus. Die vom Reichspostmuseum von 1886 bis 1939 gesammelten und ausgestellten Objekte aus kolonialen Kontexten lassen sich in sechs Kategorien gliedern: 1. Objekte mit Kolonialbezug, die nicht in den Kolonien waren wie zum Beispiel die Briefmarkendruckstöcke der Kolonialmarken oder in Deutschland für die Ausstellung angefertigte Modelle. 2. Objekte der Reichspost, die in die Kolonien gebracht oder dort angefertigt wurden, um die postalischen Verbindungen aufzubauen und zu unterhalten wie Poststempel und Dienstsiegel, Uniformen und Beschilderungen. 3. Objekte aus den Kolonien, die die Kommunikations- und Verkehrsbedingungen der einheimischen Bevölkerung thematisieren wie Originalboote, Verkehrsmodelle und Nachrichtentrommeln, darunter auch Erinnerungsstücke als „Mitbringsel“ zurückgekehrter Deutscher. 4. Objekte aus den Kolonien, die von der einheimischen Bevölkerung bezüglich der Kolonialpost geschaffen wurden wie Fetische und Darstellungen der Kolonialpost. 5. Objekte, die mit der Institution Kolonialpost verschickt wurden wie Briefe, Post- und Ansichtskarten. 6. Fotografien von Kolonialposteinrichtungen und landestypischen Verkehrseinrichtungen. Das Gros der Sammlung gelangte meist als kostenfreie Übernahme von der Reichspost oder der Reichsdruckerei in den Bestand der nachgeordneten Museumsbehörde. Darüber hinaus erhielt das Museum hinsichtlich der Kategorien 1, 2, 5 und 6 sehr viele Geschenke, vor allem von Kolonialpostbeamten. Der Ankauf stellt eher die Ausnahme dar. Bezüglich der Objekte aus den Kategorien 3 und 4, deren Anzahl viel geringer ist, bedarf es weiterer Forschungen zu den Erwerbungszusammenhängen vor Ort. Von den im Reichspostmuseum gesammelten Objekten mit deutschem Kolonialbezug hat das Gros den Krieg und die Nachkriegswirren wenigstens leidlich überstanden. Abgesehen von den Kolonialpostwertzeichen umfasste der ursprüngliche Bestand wenigstens 450 Druckstöcke der Kolonialmarken, ungefähr 600 Fotografien und 500 Objekte anderer Kategorien, darunter Gemälde, Grafiken, Dokumente und Kartenmaterial, Poststempel und Dienstsiegel, Feldpostbriefe und Feldpostausrüstung, Uniformen und Textilien, Verkehrsmodelle sowie ethnologische Objekte. Die durch den Krieg geteilte Kolonialsammlung des Reichspostmuseums gelangte nach 1945 in die Obhut der Nachfolgeinstitutionen Bundespostmuseum Frankfurt am Main und Postmuseum der DDR sowie die allermeisten Kolonialpostwertzeichen 1955 in das Postwertzeichenarchiv des Bundespostministeriums in Bonn.

Preliminary remark: On 3 January 1907, War Minister von Marchtaler ordered the establishment of a special war archive, abbreviated to K. A., of the Central Department of the War Ministry. It shall administer and maintain the existing old files of the War Ministry, its so-called old registry, keep and process the officer stock lists kept until 1874, other older files of the War Ministry or the War Ministry. of its departments, if for historical or other reasons they seemed to be worthy of preservation, to collect documents of permanent military or war-historical value from authorities, military units and private individuals, from whom they may retain title, and to reclaim the archival records handed over to the Haus- und Staatsarchiv in 1900 as soon as space conditions permitted.In addition, surveys on the history of the Württemberg army and troops and on the personal circumstances of former officers, as far as they were to be taken from the existing officer stock lists and were primarily of a statistical nature, surveys on circumstances and institutions in the Württemberg army, as far as the then existing ones were not touched and as far as they resulted from the files kept at the war archive, were transferred to the war archives.In addition to the library of the Ministry of Württemberg, which remained in the Central Department, the new institution had to acquire as many troop histories, biographies of Württemberg officers and rankings, court and state handbooks as possible, as well as several rooms in the building of the Ministry, which were too small altogether, and which did not allow for a satisfactory arrangement of the archives. This did not change until 1914, when the new building of the War Minister Jum could be occupied. The management was taken over by the colonel (retired) Wilhelm Strack von Weißenbac, who had been aggregated to the minis rium and who was still assigned a paymaster aspirant and, if required, individual non-commissioned officers and teams were commanded to provide assistance. The incoming documents - archive, library and collection material - were to be divided uniformly into 16, Roman-counted "series", whose titles were "Königliches Haus und Land", "Organisation und Formation des Militärs", "Feldzüge", "Handbibliothek", "Bau- und Festungspläne", "Stempelsammlung" and others. The further splitting into "series" resulted in signatures of up to five sections for the individual volumes and tufts (e.g. 11010 A f). To what extent preserved, very concise find book, which breaks off with Group III "Campaigns", covers all or only parts of the documents collected and recorded up to the outbreak of World War II, must remain open. On the whole, the war archives did not show any significant development: during the war Strack still had a small collection of newspaper clippings on individual fights, until he died on August 9, 1917. At almost the same time, Major Winter, who had been commanded to provide services in the War Archives since 1915, was placed at the disposal of the Deputy General Command, while Major Osterberg, retired Adolf Osterberg, was assigned to provide services to the War Ministry on 1 June 1915, namely its newly formed War History Department. By the end of the war the number of employees had risen to 27, including those employed only temporarily, 41, mostly reserve officers and Landsturm members. At the end of September 1916 the department was renamed "Kriegsarchiv 1", abbreviated to Kr. A. 1, while the previous Kriegsarchiv was given the name "Kriegsarchiv II", abbreviated to Kr. A. II. : The War Archive I had the task of collecting war diaries made by the field troops, viewing them and sending them to the Deputy General Staff of the Army in Berlin for transcription and examination, to show the "share of the Württemberg troops in the World War" in a sober scientific presentation by some officers who had been damaged by the war and had been ordered to the War Ministry, and to show them, with the help of the former War Minister von Schnürlen, the "share of the Württemberg troops in the World War", (1)in the series "Schwäbische Kunde aus dem großen Krieg" to describe and publish individual combat experiences in more popular form, (2)to create a collection of portraits of officers and army officials killed during the war and to publish them in the form of a commemorative plaque, "outstanding deeds of officers and individual troop divisions" and "heroic deeds", d. to present and publish the results of the war in a more popular form.h. to process reports requested by the field troops on the deeds of the non-commissioned officers and teams awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class or the Golden Medal of Military Merit, and to forward them to the local press, to talk about special achievements in combat in lectures and to make the texts available to the public. As the name suggests, they were presented immediately at the express request of the latter, then evaluated in the departments of the War Ministry, and finally, after a certain period of time, handed over to the War Archive I for permanent safekeeping and inspection for the aforementioned war-historical series. In January 1916, on the instructions of the War Minister, the thematic collection of newspaper clippings, which had been kept by the department since the beginning of the war and which had been added at that time until March 1915, was transferred to the War Archive I in order to be brought up to date here as quickly as possible. The individual subject areas of the collection were now designated with capital letters and further subdivided as of October 1917. As with the Central Department, excerpts from the Schwäbisches Merkur and other daily newspapers were collected, including the "Berner Bund", the "Münchener Neueste Nachrichten", and the "Vossische Zeitung", among others, while the Württemberg party papers pronounced as "Beobachter" or "Tagwacht" continued to be evaluated by the Central Department for the series remaining there. In August 1918, the collection was transferred to the newly created "Department H" of the Ministry, later "Ministerial Department". This department subdivided the excerpts from July into 17 new subject groups, which lasted until November, occasionally December 1918, and were brought to an end again in the War Archive after the dissolution of the Ministerial Department at the beginning of 1919. In the spring of 1918 there were five (working) groups a-e, some of which overlapped somewhat in their competence, and in the autumn of 1918 - after the formation of the ministerial department - they were regrouped into the groups a-d. The groups a-e were then divided into two groups. (3) : After the end of the war, Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Osterberg was reassigned to the General Command on 13 January 1919. A few days earlier, the staff of the Kriegsarchiv I had already elected Friedrich Hötzer, the vice sergeant of the Landwehr, from among its members to the board of directors. At the same time, the temporary closure was discussed, but it did not take place. In any case, the former commander of the mountain regiment, Major Theodor Sproesser, was commanded to the War Archive I on 23 April 1919.The "Kriegsarchiv" (War Archive), which Sproesser then managed until the end of 1920, united the previously separate War Archives 1 and II; it continued to form a department of the War Ministry and from August 1919 was subordinate to its successor, the Reichswehrbefehlsstelle Württemberg, and from October 1919 to the Landeskommandanten, while the personnel was made available by the Heeresabwicklungsamt Württemberg or the subordinate Abwicklungsamt of the former War Ministry. After protracted negotiations about the future shape of the military archives and, among other things, about a possible continuation of the work "Anteil der württembergischen Truppen am Weltkrieg" (Share of the Württemberg troops in the World War), the war archive was moved at the end of December 1920 from the building of the former Ministry of War in Stuttgart, Olgastraße 13 to the former rifle magazine of the secondary artillery depot in Stuttgart, Gutenbergstraße 109, and in January / March 1921 formally integrated into the then Reichsnebenarchiv, the future Reichsarchiv branch.As business transactions, as mentioned above, at first almost and later still to a considerable extent ran through other departments of the Ministry, mainly the Central Department, no systematic filing of documents developed for the War Archives during its existence. The main part of the Kriegsarchiv II consisted of archive material received from other provenance sites; Kriegsarchiv I focused on the drafts and, in part, fair copies of the series and individual writings processed here, followed by the reports of the troops received for safekeeping, among others.In the Reichsarchivzweigstelle / Heeresarchiv a part of these documents has been combined with other relevant documents to form new pertinence stocks: The various newspaper cuttings collections of the Ministry were added to the later stock M 731 "Druckschriften und Zeitungsausschnittsammlungen" and in individual cases continued until 1938/1942.The field postal letters were partly newly compiled and by a multiplicity of further letters they belong today to the holdings M 750/1-3 "field postal letters I-III". The photographs collected for the work "Anteil der Württembergischen Truppen am Weltkrieg" (share of the Württemberg troops in the World War) should form the basis of the holdings M 705/1 "Königsalben" (king's ointments) under inclusion of no longer individually ascertainable extensions.Photographs of fallen officers were stored in the stocks M 707 - M 709 "Portrait Collections I-III" without this always being possible to prove. The few remaining fact files and numerous report series were compiled by the Army Archives Council Captain of the Reserve Franz Knoch to the stock "War Archive". Furthermore, Knoch worked in parts of the archival material collected by the former Kriegsarchiv - for example from the former registry of the Generalquartiermeisterstabs until 1870 -, then "historical" records of other departments of the ministry, other authorities and troop units, i.e. mostly summarizing reports and memoranda, and finally still "various scattered files and records of Württenberg army members, which were purposefully incorporated into the Kriegsarchiv collection for lack of other classification possibilities". Knoch apparently felt himself that the documents united in this way in one inventory did not quite fit together, nevertheless he completed the find book in 1943. Probably in the same years the majority of the now available archive units were bound in booklet or book form, as was usual at that time with the Army Archives, even if this was not always satisfactory, especially in the case of "General Correspondence". Joachim Fischer and archive inspector candidate Walter Wannenwetsch, the documents classified here from the period up to 1870, then from 1983 onwards Senior State Archives Councilor Dr. Günter Cordes and archive employee Werner Urban further individual pieces in order to insert them into other holdings according to their provenance. Accordingly, only those documents remained which had grown up in the course of business of the War Archives (I and II). In addition, the collection of newspaper clippings kept by the Kriegsarchiv was taken from the aforementioned holdings M 731 "Druckschriften- und Zeitungsausschnittsammlung des Kriegsministeriums" and reintegrated here. In contrast, the other collections of the War Archive mentioned above - field mail letters, photographs - were converted to such an extent that their original condition could no longer be reconstructed in the Army Archives, and they were therefore left as archival collections. As early as 1972/75, Fischer created a separate finding aid book for the business diaries of the War Archive, which had not yet been recorded, and which could now be incorporated unchanged into the new repertory. The order and structure of the holdings are based on the original tasks of the war archives, as Fischer and Wannenwetsch had intended according to a preliminary draft. The order - as well as the naming and spelling - of the listed formations is based on the "Übersicht Friedens- und Feldformationen (Behörden und Truppen) des ehemaligen XIII. Armeekorps und deren Abwicklungsstellen" published in 1920 by the Heeresabwicklungsamt Württemberg (Military Processing Office Württemberg). The creation of separate local, personal and expert directories for the files/volumes and newspaper clippings is intended to facilitate access to the two different groups of archival records. In addition, the keywords for the files/volumes are based on Westenfelder's comprehensive subject title photographs, revised by Fischer, Cordes and Urban. On the other hand, the title recordings made by former Colonel Kurt Hiller around 1940 for the unfinished inventory of newspaper clippings by the Army Archives employee Oberst D. Kurt Hiller, which have now been taken over almost unchanged, go beyond general details of the contents and, especially in the notes on the contents - and thus also in the present index - bring conspicuous details. However, the material content of the newspaper clipping volumes is much more extensive, as can be seen from the content overviews compiled by the War Archives and bound to the volumes; however, it was not possible at present to compile the content of the new finding aid book in detail, which was desirable in itself, mainly for personnel reasons.In the reorganisation of the holdings, 66 archive units were combined with other identical subjects, 24 further, mostly double copies were removed; 349 tufts and volumes were integrated into other holdings in accordance with the provenance, while 2 newspaper cuttings were inserted here again. The collection now comprises 1032 volumes and tufts in 17 metres of shelving. Literature: Joachim Fischer: Das württembergische Kriegsarchiv. On the history of the military archives of Württemberg.

The first three volumes were presented to the king on the occasion of the government's anniversary in 1916.(2) Two volumes, edited by Lieutenant Robert Silbereisen of the Reserve and Captain Georg Schmückle of the Reserve, were published by the end of the war.(3) See the appendix

The farm of the family Meiwes or Thöne once called Robrecht Stellbrink is located until 1900 in the community Wewer, a district southwest of Paderborn and since 1969 merged with the city. Since its relocation in 1900, the farm has been located in the district of Elsen, which today also belongs to Paderborn. In 1794 Henricus Altmiercks called Stellbrink was the first farm owner to be mentioned in a Meier protocol (file 45). From 1825 the documents show Ferdinand Robrecht named Stellbrink, married to Antoniette Drewer zu Wewer, as the owner of the court at Wewer (file 39). In 1839 the married couple Robrecht called Stellbrink transferred the farm to their stepson Johann Thöne (file 45). His son, the farmer and later head of the village Joseph Thöne, signed over the farm from his father on 11 February 1870 (file 45). In 1900 Joseph Thöne acquires a marsh area of about 200 acres in the neighbouring municipality of Elsen, bought fifty years earlier by Baron von Brenken, and then begins to cultivate it and builds the estate.
