• 1918-1977, Landeskirchliches Archiv Stuttgart, D 23* description: Adaptation - Maxi Sophie Eichhorn Character of the holdings - The estate of Karl Hartenstein forms an extensive collection of his work in an eventful period. - His work as a pastor and scientific worker can be read from the extensive sermon and lecture material, the documents of the Basel Mission reflect his activity as a mission director and passionate mission representative, as also the correspondence material, e.g. with international mission workers, the Evangelical Church of Germany (EKD) or pastors of the regional church, proves. Karl Hartenstein always remained open to all demands and proved his pastoral talent not least during the war in Stuttgart. - The collection provides an excellent illustration of a personal life path marked by the upheavals of the 20th century: decisions and paths were shaped by the First World War, the Third Reich and the period of reconstruction in Germany, the close connection to Basel was a positive effect of that time, for example, Hartenstein's departure and the accompanying end of his rectorate at the beginning of the Second World War are rather ambivalent. - In its entirety, the collection reflects missionary activity in the first half of the 20th century and the personal and inner-church changes triggered by the Second World War, up to the reconstruction of the Württemberg regional church and the renewal of worldwide missionary activity. Biographical Information - Karl Wilhelm Hartenstein, born on 25 January 1894 in Stuttgart - Bad Cannstatt, was the eldest of three sons of the Hartenstein banking family. His childhood was marked by a bourgeois evangelical education. The usual military year followed the school leaving examination in 1912. During this time Karl Hartenstein began to deal more intensively with his faith and religion. His parents did not oppose the increasing desire to study theology, although Karl Hartenstein was intended to take over his father's business. After a year at Tübingen University, in which he joined the student fraternity Nicaria and met his later wife Margarete Umfried, Hartenstein had to go to war with the Western Front in 1914. Not only the promotion to officer during the wartime and the resulting responsibility for many comrades, but also the maturation and consolidation of a faith continued significantly due to the war impressions. In the spring of 1919 Hartenstein was able to resume his studies and after his exam in 1921 in Calw near Stuttgart, a short time later in his home community Bad Cannstatt he took over the temporary parish service. Already in 1922, after one year of intensive church work, he was appointed as a Repetent (teaching activity) to the Tübinger Stift, where he devoted himself to theological studies, e.g. the Römerbrief commentaries of Karl Barth, in addition to his activity, and wrote his doctorate. His marriage to Margarete Umfrid coincided with the start of his first permanent parish post in Bad Urach in 1923. At the foot of the Swabian Alb Hartenstein systematically expanded the church work, so that not only the Inner Mission, but also the Outer Mission soon belonged to the successful interest of his church. When a new director of the Basler Mission was sought in 1926, whose seat was traditionally occupied by a German representative, the choice quickly fell on the ambitious pastor from Bad Urach, who also accepted the surprising offer after a period of reflection. - As director of the Basler Mission, the largest mission agency of that time, important tasks such as the reconstruction of mission fields lost in the First World War awaited the youngest leader ever to lead the Basler Mission. Karl Hartenstein was also responsible for the supervision of the administration, as leading member of the inspectors' conference and the committee, and as pastor for the missionaries. The annual mission festival, his travels to India and Africa, which quickly earned him a good reputation in international missionary work, were the highlights of Hartenstein's time in Basel, along with the births of his three sons (1928: Hermann, 1931: Markus, 1935: Gottfried). For the political turnaround in Germany, from which Hartenstein only turned away after a "closer look" and clearly joined the Confessing Church, was to weaken his position, so that with the outbreak of the Second World War Hartenstein's time in Basel was over. - As an authorized representative of the Basler Mission - Deutscher Zweig (Basel Mission - German Branch), he tried from 1939 on to secure the assets of the Mission Society from Stuttgart, but was mostly cut off from the exchange with the management in Basel. - In 1941, Hartenstein responded positively to the request of Theophil Wurm, Bishop of the State of Württemberg, to act as Prelate of Stuttgart, thus the former Mission Director became one of the closest advisors to the Bishop of the State of Württemberg, Wurm. However, the effects of the war gradually pushed back everyday church life, air raids destroyed churches, houses and authorities, and communication shrank to a minimum. - With the end of the war, a busy time began for the prelate: Hartenstein acted as the contact man for the regional church between the occupying powers and the municipal and state authorities, and the return to Basel seemed closed. In 1948 Karl Hartenstein rejected the office of the regional bishop, but he became a member of the Council of the Protestant Church in Germany and took part in international mission events, for example in Amsterdam in 1948. Since his return in 1939 Karl Hartenstein had suffered various health setbacks, in 1949 he fell ill at heart and struggled with death, so that he voluntarily resigned from several offices. The major church events in 1952, the World Mission Conference in Willingen (Hesse) and the German Protestant Church Congress in Stuttgart, were still co-organized and organized by Hartenstein, but on October 1, 1952 he died surprisingly of his heart disease and was buried in the Stuttgart forest cemetery. History of the Collection - The estate of Karl Hartenstein was handed over to the Landeskirchlichen Archiv in 1964 and incorporated into the archive's collection of estates as Collection D 23. In 1976, Albrecht von Stackelberg recorded part of the files (order no.: 176-270) in a detailed manner, which meant that the holdings could not be used as a unit. In spring 2005, as part of the final training course for the signatories' upscale archives service, the unprocessed part of the training began to be indexed. The units entered into the Faust archive program were not as deeply recorded in this section as in the section completed in 1976. After completion of the distortion, the old find book units could also be entered in fist stones, whereby they were partly divided for packaging reasons. The subsequent classification reflects Hartenstein's various life periods and his diverse activities. The collection covers the period 1926-1954, with a focus on the period after 1945. The photos contained in the estate were transferred to the photographic collection of the Regional Church Archive, and the existing library holdings were passed on to the Regional Church Central Library.

1st About the Aldinger-Ostermayer family: Karl Aldinger and Hertha Ostermayer married on 24 January 1944. The marriage lasted over six decades. Only the death of Karl Aldinger in 2005 brought her to an end. The ancestors of the married couple were widely ramified and can be traced far back through the stored documents of the inventory. Due to the numerous traditional sources and many patient family history researches, they were deeply anchored in the consciousness of Karl and Hertha Aldingers. During the Second World War Karl Aldinger (1917-2005) was a soldier (last lieutenant). He then managed various agricultural estates (Staufeneck estate, Schafhof estate, Alteburg estate). In 1957 he took over the management of the youth hostel in Esslingen, which he continued to run until 1963. He then ran a guesthouse in Saig (Black Forest) until 1990, which came from the inheritance of an aunt of his wife. Hertha Aldinger (1920-2012) had undergone agricultural training and had been a teacher of agricultural household science since January 1944. After 1 July 1944, she no longer worked for the company, but devoted herself to her five children (one had died very early) and supported her husband in his various tasks. The family archive Aldinger-Ostermayer documents the ancestors of Karl and Hertha Aldinger in almost all lines back to the end of the 18th century. There are rich documents on the families Aldinger, Trißler, Unrath (ancestors of Karl Aldinger) and Ostermayer, Görger, Baur/Giani, Heldbek/Gaiser, Riedlin and Schinzinger (ancestors of Hertha Aldinger). The documents refer to members of the upper middle class in Württemberg and Baden. Some family members were soldiers in the First and Second World Wars (among others Eduard Ostermayer (1867-1954), Helmut Ostermayer (1919-1941) and Karl Aldinger) and have left photos, diaries and memories as well as letters from the wartime. The Aldinger family provided agricultural estate managers for several generations. There are numerous physicians from the family circle: Dr. Oskar Görger (1847-1905), who founded his wealth through his practice in Australia, Dr. Eduard Ostermayer (1867-1954), who was still practicing in his 80s and was thus known in the 50s as Stuttgart's oldest practicing physician, Dr. Karl Schinzinger (1861-1948), also a physician in Australia, and Dr. Albert Schinzinger (1827-1911), who began his career as a surgeon and after his habilitation worked as a professor of medicine at the University of Freiburg (about him Pagel: Biographisches Lexikon outstanding doctors of the nineteenth century. Berlin, Vienna 1901, Sp. 1499-1500). Also worth mentioning are the pastors: Karl Ludwig Heldbek (1756-1829), pastor in Scharenstetten, Christoph Erhardt Heldbek (1803-1877), city pastor in Weilheim, Emil Heldbek (1849-1884), pastor in Auendorf, and Dr. Paul Aldinger (1869-1944), pastor in Kleinbottwar, colonist and pastor in Brazil. The Ostermayers were merchants for several generations, initially locally in Weilheim/Teck and from around 1870 in the Württemberg state capital Stuttgart. Max (1860-1942) and Gottlieb Ostermayer (1871-1910) finally worked as merchants in India. The Heldbek/Gaiser family also knew merchants whose activities later extended as far as Africa (Lagos). The most famous is Gottlieb Leonhard Gaiser (1817-1892). He tried to found a German colony in Mahinland (east of Lagos), but failed because of Bismarck's colonial-political restraint (Ernst Hieke: Gaiser, Gottlieb Leonhard, in: Neue Deutsche Biographie, 6 (1964), p. 39f.). Robert Karl Edmund Schinzinger (1898-1988), university professor and lecturer in Japan, and Ernst Ostermayer (1868-1918), professor and painter are to be emphasized as representatives of science and art. Albert Joseph Fridolin Schinzinger (1856-1926), the Japanese Consul General in Berlin, worked in the field of politics and diplomacy. 2. processing of the stock: The family archive Aldinger-Ostermayer was created step by step. In ancient times, outstanding documents were preserved and entrusted to the next generation. Initially, only a few documents were handed down, mostly letters or documents with a special memoir value. This happened with both the Aldinger and Ostermayer ancestors. Only later generations left behind complete estates, i.e. closed traditions. This was the case with Eduard Ostermayer and his son Helmut as well as Karl and Hertha Aldinger. For Oskar Görger and his wife Marie, original documents have been preserved to a considerable extent, but in smaller quantities. Family research on a larger scale had already been carried out in the 1930s in connection with the Aryan evidence by the Aldingers and the Ostermayers. Lore Braitsch, née Aldinger, collected older documents for the Aldinger family, which she also evaluated (e.g. speech in honour of Dr. Paul Aldinger, cf. Bü 360). After their death in 1998 these documents came to Hertha and Karl Aldinger, so that a family archive for the Aldinger and Ostermayer families grew together. Hertha Aldinger edited this. She supplemented the originals with copies and transcriptions. With admirable patience she transcribed the documents in old, no longer generally legible script, first by hand and later by typewriter. Already in 1996 she worked with computers. Even more important are their evaluations of the family records. She put together different material to certain persons as well as whole family branches, so for her husband Karl (Bü 179) and for herself (Bü 118). She also wrote the couple's memoirs under the title "Our 20 Initial Years" (Bü 246). She also wrote down her personal memories of her parents (Bü 181). For the Ostermayer (Bü 284, 304 and 334), Heldbek (Bü 453, 473) and Schinzinger (Bü 226, 237, 296) families she compiled material and wrote elaborations on the history of these families. Probably also the order of the family archive goes back to them. This only considered a separation of the individual family branches and was otherwise little structured. When the materials were handed over to the Main State Archives in January 2013, they were stored in guide files and the subunits were formed in transparent envelopes. There were also other types of packaging. A handwritten fixation of this order was made on the occasion of the transfer of the family archive to the main state archive in a transfer register (Bü 550). Hertha Aldinger's intensive family research and work have left traces in the state of order. The units were inflated by copies, often multiple copies. Original tradition and copy or transcription were not separated. The original letter series were torn, there was the group of already transcribed pieces and the group of still unprocessed letters. The archival order of the documents restored the series of the original letters. The copies have been reduced. There is little point in keeping an original and a copy of it in the same tuft. Multiple copies of the transcriptions could also be collected. However, different processing stages (e.g. concepts, final version) were left unchanged. There was a larger collection of postcards, which had been arranged after picture motives. This collection also contained described and run postcards, i.e. family correspondence. This had to be reassigned to the letters and cards. The collection of postcards was thus reduced to the undescribed pieces (Bü 506, 509), and the archival indexing attached great importance to a detailed characterization of the Büschel contents in the Contained Notes. This was especially necessary when the title recording for the tuft had to remain very general. The collection was structured in such a way that the central importance of Karl and Hertha Aldinger for the documents is emphasized. Karl and Hertha Aldinger are expressly referred to as related family branches. The spelling of the first names was standardized according to today's spelling: Helmut instead of Hellmut, Karl instead of Carl, Jakob instead of Jacob etc.. The index lists the women among the aforementioned families from the related circle of Aldinger-Ostermayer, but also mentions the marriage name. Women who have married into the circle of relatives are classified under their names of marriage, their names of birth are given in an explanatory manner. The stock P 45 "Familienarchiv Aldinger-Ostermayer" was sorted and listed by the undersigned in Spring/Summer 2013. The duration of the documents ranges from approx. 1770 to 2013, the volume of the stock amounts to 553 units in 6.1 m.Stuttgart, in October 2013Dr. Peter Schiffer

Preliminary remark: This collection comprises documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the general and interdepartmental foreign policy of Württemberg with regard to non-German states in Europe and the rest of the world. This also includes the Empire of Austria (-Hungary), which already owned large non-German territories when it was founded in 1804/06 and which left Germany completely after the war against Prussia in 1866. Documents on the remaining states of the Confederation of the Rhine, the German Confederation and the German Empire from 1871 onwards - including Prussia (as a whole) - were to a large extent assigned to holdings E 40/14, while those on the Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine in the period 1871 - 1918 are again to be found in holdings E 40/16. The holdings essentially consist of the following parts:E 36 Verz. 60: Relevant parts of the categories "France" and "Austria "E 41 Verz. 63: Category "Different States" with sub-categories, if they are non-German statesE 46 (Categories by States)E 49 Verz. 21 and 22 (Categories by States)E 49 Supplement 1938A detailed history of the authorities of the Ministry can be found in the preface to fonds E 40/10, to which reference is made here.the country categories correspond to the composition of the world of states in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Numerous Italian small and medium-sized states, for example, are found as predecessors of the Kingdom of Italy for the first half of the 19th century as separate categories. Documents on the colonial possessions of various European states can be found both under the heading of the motherland and under their own headings (Australia, South Africa), but for reasons of content not all documents filed under the "country headings" were classified in the holdings E 40/14 or E 40/18. If the files did not contain any general political or interdepartmental matters, they were classified in the holdings E 40/54 - E 40/78. Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl began the formation and archival cataloguing of the holdings, which was later continued by the undersigned. The newly formed stock now comprises 540 tufts or 6.21 linear metres of shelving.
