Description of the holdings: Hofmeister and Hofmarschälle can be found at the Weimar court as early as the 16th century (cf. present holdings no. 403). A new appointment and organisation ("re-establishment") of the Court Marshal's Office took place under the Saxon-Coburg supreme guardianship in 1750 (No. 411c). According to the state handbooks of the second half of the 19th century, the sphere of business of the Court Marshal's Office included the administration of the part of the chamber's property reserved for the Grand Ducal House, the so-called crown property (Ordinance of May 4, 1854, Reg. p. 229), and the overall supervision of the associated cash and accounting system, the care of the stocks at court and the supervision of their consumption, the affairs of the court etiquette, the pages, the court officers (court kitchen, winery, silver chamber, cloakroom, etc.).), the administration of the palaces, parks and garden centres, the handling of discipline by the subordinate servants, the exercise of police rights in the eximierten possessions of the Grand Ducal House, the supervision of the Pensionanstalt für Witwen und Waisen der Mitglieder der Hofkapelle opened in 1830 and the supervision of the Grand Ducal Museum für Kunst und Kunstgewerbe (state since 1903). The Court Marshal's Office carried out the business of the Court Theatre Directorate from 1828 to 1857 (No. 3123, 3126), and from 1851 to 1855 the business of the Court Stables Office, which was abolished at that time (Reg.Bl. 1851 p. 12, 1856 p. 64). After the Grand Duke renounced his throne in 1918, the Court Marshal's Office was abolished together with the Court Main Treasury on 31 March 1922 (No. 538). A Grand Ducal Saxon Schatull Administration existed in Weimar until the expropriation of the princes in 1948. The files of the Court Marshal's Office have mostly only been handed down since the end of the 18th century. This was caused by considerable losses during the fire at Weimar Castle in 1774 (cf. No. 2553, p. 2). During its existence, in 1893 and 1917, the Court Marshal's Office supplied the Weimar State Archives with documents that were ready for archiving, but these were exclusively series of volumes of accounts that were added to the archives available at the time. The files of the Court Marshal Office, on the other hand, were only handed over to the Weimar State Archives by the Thuringian Ministry of Finance as the successor authority to the Court Marshal Office in two deliveries in February 1923 and September 1933. Together with the files, the three repertories A, B and C (now classified in the inventory as No. 1b, 1c, 1d) were handed over; the delivery of 1933 comprised the files listed in the "new" repertory C. The files were handed over to the "new" repertory. Repertory C was the youngest repertory to be created at the Court Marshal's Office in 1898/99, with various files still needed being transferred from repertories A and B to the "new repertory" C, while the remaining pieces listed in A and B were "put back" (cf. No. 530). In addition, a large number of unlisted files and a collection of mostly handwritten sheet music for instrumental music from the period around 1775 were deposited in the State Archives. Here, all the files have been worked together to form an inventory. The capital classification of repertory C was used as the basis for the portfolio classification. The signatures given to the pieces in the repertories A, B and C due to their older distortion are recorded in a special column of the present repertory. From the traditional repertories, file titles were also transferred to the repertory created by the State Archives, for which files could no longer be ascertained. However, a large number of such initially missing files of the Court Marshal's Office were still to be found among the files left to the State Archives by the Ministry of Education of the State of Thuringia when it left for Erfurt in 1950. The actual holdings of the Court Marshal's Office (known as the Court Marshal's Office I) are appended in special parts as: - Court Marshal's Office II: Gartendirektion Eisenach (established in 1804, abolished in 1890) No. 4000 - 4142: Files that have grown up with this (special provenance) No. 4200 - 4222: Files of the Court Marshal's Office on this subject - Court Marshal's Office III: Gardens and Park Administration No. 4223 - 4463: Files of the Court Marshal's Office (These belong together with those in Court Marshal's Office I Chapter 58: Gardens, parks listed). The provenances of the Hofstallamt zu Weimar (B), which were related to the holdings of the Hofmarschallamt (Court Marshal's Office) and were in charge of the supervision of the Großherzogliches Marstall zu Weimar (Grand Ducal Marshal's Office), as well as of the Hofgestüt zu Allstedt (C) are treated as separate provenances (holdings), each with a new census and their own finding aids. Both authorities were abolished in 1920. The order and indexing of the holdings in the Weimar State Archives was carried out by Dr. Paul Goehts, a member of the Weimar government, between April 1945 and December 1847. The pieces found later, most of which had already been noted in the repertory, were added to the holdings in 1954 and 1955. The final work was done by the state archivist Dr. Rudolf Diezel. Weimar, September 30, 1955 Prof. Dr. Flach Remarks: The holdings contain the files of the Court Marshal's Office of the Duchy/Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, primarily since the reorganization in 1750. They document the entire administration of the Weimar Court. In the years 1828 to 1857 the court theatre and the court chapel were also subordinated to the authority. From 1830 onwards, the Hofmarschallamt was the supervisory authority for the pension institution for widows and orphans of the members of the Hofkapelle and until 1903 for the Grand Ducal Museum of Arts and Crafts. Since 1854 he was also in charge of the administration of the "Krongutes", which had been given to the Grand Ducal House for its own use, and the police force on this property. The holdings also include the lists of the participants of the princely table kept by the Hoffouriers for the period 1749 - 1918 (Fourier books). The Court Marshal's Office was abolished in 1922. The files were delivered to the archive in several deliveries in 1893, 1917, but essentially only in 1923 and 1933.
Contains:- Circular on the recruitment of members to the Kolonialbund - Jurisdiction of the Vice Consulate of Argentina in Leipzig for Thuringia - Guidelines on the treatment of applications for visits to courts and detention centres by foreigners - Authentication of signatures and documents - Treatment of criminal cases of foreigners - Notifications of suitable officials for colonial service - Revenue from fees through authentications for the purpose of legalisation at the courts.
Description of the holdings: The Thuringian Ministry of the Interior in Weimar was established by law on 3 December 1920. It was united with the Ministry of Economics in March 1924 to form the Ministry of the Interior and the Economy, but in November 1928 it was separated from this union again. In 1936 the Ministry of the Interior was directly subordinated to the Reich Governor. It now bore the name "Der Reichsstatthalter in Thüringen - Der Staatssekretär und Leiter des Thüringischen Ministeriums des Innern" and remained in existence until June 1945. The Ministry was initially divided into six business departments. After the administrative reform of 1930, it consisted of the business departments listed below. The latest status of the business structure is decisive for the order of the files. A: General affairs; also responsible for surveying, also since 1930 for commercial police, until 1936 for fire-fighting, 1930 to 1938 for personnel matters, 1935 to 1939 for registry office supervision, since 1936 for homeland protection, nature conservation and monument preservation B: Construction police; road construction until 1933 C: housing and settlement 1931 to 1933; road construction since 1933 D: Gemeinde- und Kreisangelegenheiten D/Fin: Community finances: F: Veterinary affairs since 1938 G: Personnel since 1938 I: Inspector of the Ordnungspolizei since 1938 P: Police; also responsible for fire-fighting since 1936 W: Military service department since 1935. Since 1939 the Ministry had been affiliated with the then established State Food Office, Dept. B, which was responsible not only for the war nutrition of the state of Thuringia, but also of the Prussian administrative district of Erfurt and the Prussian district of Schmalkalden. In June 1945 a state office was formed for the internal administration. In 1946, after numerous shifts of responsibility, the Ministry of General Administration was founded, which was renamed the Ministry of the Interior in 1947. - The files delivered before 1945 have been lost due to the effects of war. The current stock was taken over in 1945, especially in 1951. Remarks: Under the leadership of the State Council of Thuringia, the state government worked from 1920 on with 7 departments, including the department of Internal Affairs. From this department the Thuringian Ministry of the Interior was formed on December 3, 1920, which was active until June 12, 1945. In the meantime it operated as the Department of the Interior of the Ministry of the Interior and Economy (8 March 1924 - 3 November 1928). The tradition reflects the performance of tasks in the areas of state administration and sovereignty, roads, municipal and district affairs, welfare and health care, veterinary affairs, personnel, police and military affairs. The collection contains files, in particular for the healthcare sector (pharmacies) and for the foundations, some of which date back as far as the 17th and 19th centuries respectively. These files were kept at the authorities of the Thuringian individual states (except Saxony-Coburg) and from 1920 onwards continued by the Ministry of the Interior. The collection also contains ministerial files from the period after 1945, which are continued by an incosseous inventory formation. Similarly, the collection "Land Thüringen - Ministerium des Innern" contains files concerning events from the period from 1920 to 1945. The traditional personnel files for the ministry are located in the "Personnel data from the area of internal affairs".
