History of Tradition Preliminary Remark By the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 25. February 1803 came the imperial city Biberach and the area of the hospital Biberach with the places Ahlen, Attenweiler, Bergerhausen, Birkendorf, Höfen, Ingerkingen, Laupertshausen, Muttensweiler, Volkersheim then partly Röhrwangen, Warthausen, Winterreute, Ummendorf, Baltringen, 1/3 of Baustetten, Burgrieden and Oberholzheim an Baden, which built out of it a Biberach upper bailiwick assigned to the "upper principality", which divided into the Ratsvogtei (town bailiwick) and the Vogteiamt (official bailiwick). The immediate imperial counties of Metternich-Ochsenhausen, Törring-Gutenzell, Waldbott-Bassenheim-Heggbach and partly Wartemberg-Rot and Sternberg-Schussenried were formed from the area of the Köster, as far as they belonged to the district, and the possessions of the Salem monastery were assigned to the Prince of Thurn und Taxis. The Rhenish Federal Act of 12 July 1806 brought the city of Biberach and the area of the hospital to Württemberg and the immediate imperial counties under Württemberg sovereignty, but the dominions of Erolzheim and Kellmünz on the Iller under Bavarian sovereignty. Through the state treaty with Bavaria, the left bank of the Iller became Württemberg again. According to the State Manual of 1807 and 1808, the following villages and hamlets belonged to the Oberamt Biberach: Biberach, Ahlen, Attenweiler, Aufhofen, Baltringen, Baustetten, Bühl, Bihlafingen, Bergerhausen, Birkendorf, Bronnen, Burgrieden, Donaustetten, Dorndorf, Hagenbuch, Häusern, Höfen, Holzheim, Hüttisheim, Ingerkingen, Laupertshausen, Muttensweiler, Obersulmetingen, Rißegg, Röhrwangen, Steinberg, Stetten a. d. Rottum, Unterweiler, Volkersheim, Westerflach, Wiblingen, Winterreute. In addition, the following were subordinate to the Oberamt: the patrimonial offices Achstetten, Bußmannshausen, Ellmannshausen, Hürbel, Groß- und Kleinlaupheim and Mittelbiberach and the patrimonial superior servant offices Heggbach, Schemmerberg, Sulmingen and Mistingen and Warthausen. After the abolition of the patrimonial offices (1809) the upper office Ochsenhausen was formed with the places Ochsenhausen, Bellamont, Berkheim, Erlenmoos, Gutenzell, Haslach, Horn-Fischbach, Hummertsried, Hürbel, Kirchberg, Kirchdorf, Maselheim, Edenbachen, Reinstetten, Ringschnait, Rot, Schönebürg, Spindelwag, Steinbach, Tannheim and Ummendorf. The newly created lower office Wiblingen with the villages Wiblingen, Aufhofen, Bihlafingen, Bronnen, Bühl, Donaustetten, Dorndorf, Hüttisheim, Steinberg, Stetten an der Rottum, Unterweiler and the Burgvogtei Illerrieden was subordinated to the upper office Biberach. Already after one year the upper office Ochsenhausen was abolished by the organization manifesto of 27 October 1810 again and subordinated as lower office to the upper office Biberach. At the same time the lower office Wiblingen was raised to a higher office. After these extensive changes, which placed the upper office administratively under the control of the 11th Landvogtei, the "an der Donau", with seat in Ulm, the following municipalities belonged to the upper office Biberach: Biberach, Äpfingen, Ahlen, Altheim, Aßmannshardt, Attenweiler, Aufhofen, Bellament, Bergerhausen, Birkendorf, Birkenhard, Erlenmoos, Erolzheim, Füramoos, Gutenzell, Grodt, Höfen, Hürbel, Ingerkingen, Kirchberg an der Iller, Langenschemmern, Laupertshausen, Maselheim, Mettenberg, Mittelbiberach, Mittelbuch, Muttensweiler, Obersulmetingen, Ochsenhausen, Reinstetten, Reute, Ringschnait, Rißegg, Rottum, Schemmerberg, Steinhausen an der Rottum, Ummendorf, Unterdettingen, Untersulmetingen, Volkersheim, Warthausen, as well as the Thurn und Taxissche Amtsgericht and Amt Obersulmetingen. The Unteramt Ochsenhausen was abolished, like all Unterämter in Württemberg, by the II. organization edict over the Oberamtsverfassung of 31 December 1818. By the law about the change of the upper office districts from 6 July 1842 Alberweiler came from the upper office Ehingen and Stafflangen from the upper office Waldsee to the upper office Biberach. The following reunions were carried out: 1836 a clean-up in the area of the communities Dietmanns and Unterschwarzach, 1844 Winterreute from Ummendorf to Ringschnait, 1846 conversion from Hauerz to Ellwangen, 1854 the Glaserhof from Gutenzell to Oberbalzheim, 1861 the wood mill from Burgrieden to Oberholzheim, 1864 Westerflach from Ingerkingen to Untersulmetingen, 1933 the Halbertshof from Wain to Unterbalzheim, 1933 Ziegolz from Dietmanns to Unterschwarzach, 1933 the book from Steinach (today Kr. Ravensburg) to Mühlhausen, 1951 Rindenmoos from Reute to Rißegg. The following incorporation took place: 1864 Birkendorf into the town of Biberach 1934 Bergerhausen into the town of Biberach 1934 Gemeinde Oberdorf into Mittelbiberach, which had replaced it in 1899, 1935 Gemeinde Hummertsried into Mühlhausen. Steinhausen was connected to Schussenried until 1892. Laupheim became a town in 1869, Schussenried in 1947 and Ochsenhausen in 1950. According to the law of 25 April on the division of the territory, the district of Biberach comprises all the municipalities of the former Oberamtsbezirk with the exception of Volkersheim, which was transferred to the Ehingen district administration; it received the municipalities from the Laupheim district: Achstetten, Altheim, Baltringen, Baustetten, Bihlafingen, Bronnen, Bühl, Burgrieden, Bußmannshausen, Großschafhausen, Laupheim, Mietingen, Oberbalzheim, Oberholzheim, Orsenhausen, Rot v.

The files listed below were handed over to the Sigmaringen State Archives by the Biberach/Riß District Office on 9 November 1948, 4 February 1949, 3 October 1958 and 24 August 1959. The 1948 and 1949 deliveries were already set up in May 1949 in the State Archives according to the principle of provenance. The 1959 Accession was exclusively for steam boiler files, which were further expanded by a delivery from the Sigmaringen Trade Supervisory Office in 1960 (Acc. 24/1960). The present collection comprises 847 numbers in 23, 85 linear metres and the period from 1806-1950. Files of the same provenance from earlier deliveries for the period from 1806 to about 1925 are kept in the Ludwigsburg State Archives in fonds F 155. The order and indexing was carried out by government inspector Kungl, Reinschrift und Register, who was responsible for the order and indexing. Sigmaringen, January 1966 Kungl Government Inspector Supplement to the Foreword The official assembly records with the earlier signatures Wü 65/5 T 3 No. 54-64 and the building records with the earlier signatures Wü 65/5 T 3 No. 387-477 were handed over to the Kreisarchiv Biberach. In the years 2009/2010, the typewritten finding aid was digitized as part of the German Research Foundation (DFG) funded project for the retroconversion of archived finding aids. In cooperation with the Retroconversion Coordination Office at the Marburg School of Archives and the Baden-Württemberg State Archives, the finding aid book was prepared for publication on the Internet. Corinna Knobloch and Silke Schöttle carried out the necessary reworking. The development data has been available on the Internet since June 2010. The citation of the inventory is: Wü 65/5 T 3 Nr.

History of the Inventory Designer: The Reich Treasury Office, which emerged from the Finance Department (until 1877: Finance Office) of the Reich Chancellery in 1879, became the Reich Ministry of Finance (RFM) in 1919. The RFM initially took over the structure and the responsibilities transferred to the Reich Treasury for the Reich budget, currency, customs duties and excise duties. Only the administration of the Reich's own property, the exploitation of the Reich's property, above all by the army and navy, and the financial supervision of industrial enterprises and the Reich's holdings in industrial enterprises were temporarily transferred to the Reich Treasury, which was newly founded in March 1919 and dissolved again in 1923. The scope of duties of the Reich Ministry of Finance was considerably extended in the course of the Erzberger financial reform of 1919/1920, mainly through responsibility for property and transport taxes. The Länder had to leave their tax apparatus to the Reich, so that the RFM, as the head of the Reich Finance Administration, now had a uniform official substructure in the form of regional tax offices and local tax offices and main customs offices. Since the dissolution of the Reich Ministry for Reconstruction (1924), the RFM has also had comprehensive competence for handling the consequences of war. The RFM experienced a further increase in its tasks in connection with the abolition of the sovereignty of the Länder in 1934, as a result of which the finance ministries of the Länder were placed under the supervision of the RFM. Only the Prussian Ministry of Finance was able to retain its independence and was not incorporated into the RFM until September 1944 and only formally. Inventory description: Inventory history Until 1936, most of the files of the RFM that had been created until 1929 as well as numerous files of the "Neue Registratur" from 1930 onwards, including the household files of the Wehrmacht, the SS and the concentration camps, had already been handed over to the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam. Since only part of the war-related relocations were included, large parts of these files were destroyed during the air raid on Potsdam in April 1945, including almost all secret files after 1925 as well as numerous files of the new registry, in particular on official and pension matters, employee and worker questions. Losses have also occurred in the files stored by the Reichsarchiv. The household records of the Wehrmacht, the SS and the concentration camps mentioned above are considered destroyed today. Further losses of files have occurred due to the destruction of files in the authority itself and at the places of removal. This applies in particular to the files for the treatment of anti-grass roots and anti-rich, Jewish and confiscated assets of the "Eylert" and "Maedel" units of the RFM, which were moved to Sigmaringen. These files were most likely burned shortly before the end of the war together with the documents of the Sigmaringen tax office. After the end of the war, depending on the place of relocation, parts of the records were transferred to both the Federal Archive in Koblenz and the then German Central Archive in Potsdam (DZA). In the 1960s, the Federal Archives in Koblenz took over from the Federal Ministry of Finance, above all, the files of the registries running until 1945, which were initially kept by the "Restverwaltung" and from 1946 by the "Archiv des ehemaligen Reichsfinanzministeriums". The files of the Reich Archives that had been transferred to the Potsdam DZA were mainly the files of the Reich Archives in the Sraßfurt and Schönebeck potash shafts, as well as confiscated documents returned from the Soviet Union in 1955. Until 1990, the entire collection of the Reich Ministry of Finance was held in roughly equal parts in the Central State Archives of the GDR and in the Federal Archives in Koblenz. In both archives the tradition was recorded successively and recorded in provisional finding aids (indexes and card indexes). Due to the different overdelivery focal points of both sub-stocks, the respective classification of the sub-stocks was carried out according to different criteria. While the Potsdam part of the stock with a focus on traditions was structured according to the departmental structure until 1930, the Koblenz structure followed the uniform file plan of the Reich Finance Administration introduced in 1929. In addition, the records kept as holdings 21.01 in the Central State Archives of the GDR were divided into two signature sequences, depending on the time of their creation. A-signatures received files with provenance Reichsschatzamt created until 1919, B-signatures the files of the RFM. When the two parts of the records were merged in 1990, the different signature sequences had to be merged in order to clearly identify the individual files. The signatures of the Koblenz files were retained, the old A-signatures with 40000 and the B-signatures with 50000 were added. Since the year 2000, the two traditional parts of the book have been gradually merged into online sub-find books, starting with the budget files of the specialist departments. Content characterization: The overdelivery of the RFM more or less comprehensively covers the entire range of tasks of the authority with the following overdelivery focal points: - Preparation of the Reich's budget, in particular files on the preparation of the budget of the specialist departments, on the Army, Navy and Colonial budgets, on the debt management of the Reich as well as on Reich guarantees, Reich participations, export credits, on banks, currency and foreign exchange matters - Organisational and administrative matters of the Reich Finance Administration, Real Estate and Reich Construction Administration, in particular v.a. files for the accommodation of the offices of the Reich Finance Administration, the Reich Real Estate Register as well as files for the utilization of military real-estate - customs duties, in particular files on customs legislation, on the handling of the customs tariff for individual goods and on trade relations with foreign countries - Reich taxes and excise duties, in particular Files on income and sales tax, on the Reich Valuation Act and Bodenschätzungsgesetz as well as on excise duties on spirits, tobacco, sugar and sweetener - state taxes, state and municipal finances, financial equalisation - settlement of the First World War, in particular reparations, Saar and occupation matters - armaments financing and war damage of both world wars The inventory includes approx. 4000 personnel files mainly of employees of the higher service in the RFM (approx. 600) and in the subordinate area State of development: Indexes Temporary indexes for Koblenz partial tradition Online index of household files A - Ar (2007) Online index of household files B - Lu (2006) Online index of household files F (2007/2008) Publication index of household files PM-Su (2005) Publication index of household files Ve-WM (2003) Citation method: BArch, R 2/...
