Explanation: When the North German Confederation was founded, the postal system was organised as a unified state transport authority with the simultaneous disappearance of the territorial postal institutions. Bremen received a federal post office. In 1871, postal sovereignty was transferred to the German Reich. In 1874, the Reichspostverwaltung appointed Bremen as the seat of an Oberpostdirektion, which became the medium Reichspostbehörde. In addition to the territory of Bremen, its area of responsibility included the part of the administrative district of Hanover on the left bank of the Weser, parts of the administrative district of Stade and the administrative district of Thedinghausen in Brunswick. Until the First World War she was also responsible for the postal services in German New Guinea, on the Caroline Islands, Mariana Islands, Palau and Marshall Islands and Samoa. From 1934-1945 the Oberpostdirektion was called Reichspostdirektion Bremen. In 1943 it also took over the district of the Oldenburg management, which had until then been independent, and which included the Weser-Ems district. The privatization of Deutsche Bundespost was initiated in 1989, and in 1990 it was separated into the postal service and telecommunications divisions at OPD. At the end of 1992, the Postal Directorate was divided into the Postal Service and Telecommunications Directorates. Since 1995 they have been part of Deutsche Post AG and Deutsche Telekom AG.

The history and content of the collection: After Weiszäcker's death in 1926, the estate initially remained in the widow's apartment in Stuttgart, where it was moved to the house acquired in 1931 on the Moozacher Halde near Lindau. On 21 June 1975, Baroness Marianne von Weizsäcker transferred the estate to the Main State Archives in Stuttgart. After its reorganization, it is available for scientific research. Usage for publications which deal in particular with the work of the Prime Minister Karl Freiherr von Weizsäcker and which do not only contain occasional references to his activities require the consent of Professor Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsäcker.The estate consists mainly of Weizsäcker's handfiles from his term as Minister of Culture, President of the Ministry of State (Prime Minister), Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Minister of Family Affairs of the Royal House, mixed with individual registry files of the Ministry of State and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as official, semi-official and private correspondence and numerous newspaper clippings. In addition, there are correspondence, notes, documents relating to publications and newspaper clippings from his retirement. Some few documents from the estate of his father, Professor Karl v. Weizsäcker, have been included in the inventory (Bü 4)The estate of the Minister President v. Breitling (Bü 31) contains files of foreign provenances, letters to the Minister of State v. Fleischhauer (Bü 80, 86 and 93), correspondence of the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Freiherr Julius v. Soden (Bü 151) and letters of Weizsäcker to General Fritz von Graevenitz (Bü 146).Parallel tradition is mainly found in the files of the Royal Cabinet (E 14), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (E 46 - E 75), the Ministry of State (E 130) and the Ministry of War (M 1/2) lying in the Main State Archives, in particular the following files should be pointed out:E 14: Royal Cabinet IIBü 487: Weizsäcker's application for release from office from 5. November 1918E 46: Ministry of Foreign Affairs IIIBü 1285 - 1300: Handakten von Weizsäcker: Bü 1291: Acceptance of the command of a Prussian army corps by Duke Albrecht von Württemberg (1905/06)Bü 1292: Records of an interview with the State Secretary of the Interior Delbrück in Berlin concerning the Alsace-Lorraine question (1910)Bü 1294: Russische Politik (1910)Bü 1295: Succession to the throne in Monaco (Duke Wilhelm von Urach) (1910/12)Bü 1296: Bundesfinanzen, Deckung der Kosten der Wehrvorlage (1912)Bü 1297: Berichte des Württembergischen Militärbevolltigten in Berlin betreffend Wehrvorlagen (1912)Bü 1298: Albanian succession to the throne (1912/13)Bü 1299: Report by Weizsäckers to the King on Berlin Financial Conferences (1916)E 73: Gesandschaftsakten Verzeichnis 61Bü 12 e - 12 i: Reports of the Federal Council Plenipotentiaries (1897-1918); Bü 12 g also contains reports of the Military Plenipotentiary in Berlin (July - August 1914)Bür 42 d - 42 e: Berichte der Gesandtschaft MünchenE 74 I: Württembergische Gesandtschaft in BerlinBü 164 - 168: Political Reports 1914 - 1918E 75: Württemberg Embassy in MunichBü 154 - 156: Reports of the Württemberg Ambassador in MunichE 130b: State MinistryBü 5860: Weizsäcker's files on the draft law concerning amendments to the Civil Servants' Act of 28 April 1949 June 1876 (1906/07)M 1/2: Special files of the Minister of War and his AdjutantM 660: Estate of Fritz von Graevenitz Significance of the estate: The personal-private and confidential character of numerous documents of this estate contributes nuances to the picture of this time which are naturally missing in the official papers. This is true of Weizsäcker's term as cult minister, during which he campaigned for the abolition of spiritual supervision of schools and for constitutional reform, and it is even more true of the period from 1906 to 1918, during which, as President of the State Ministry, he headed the affairs of government and was also State Minister of Foreign Affairs. The question of Württemberg's relationship to the Reich and, in general, of federal cooperation, as well as the views of the Württemberg government on German foreign policy before the First World War and, above all, the Württemberg attitude to German politics during the war, are given sharper contours by the documents of this estate. During this time, the correspondence with his friend Alfred von Kiderlen-Waechter, the reports of the Württemberg envoys from Berlin (v. Varnbüler) and Munich (v. Moser) as well as the reports of the Württemberg military representative in Berlin and in the Great Headquarters (v. Graevenitz) are of particular importance. Since the tradition of the two legations and the reports of the military representative in the official files are incomplete - most of the documents of the military representative in Berlin have been destroyed - the reports from the estate are able to close some gaps. In terms of content, these semi-official reports, written in personal-private form - v. Graevenitz was Weizsäcker's counter-sister and also v. Varnbüler was personally close to him - say much more than the official reports of these Württemberg diplomats. 3. on the organisation of the stock: Weizsäcker arranged his documents according to subject matter or persons without a systematic structure. After his death, some connections were lost during relocations and probably also during uses of the estate. In the course of time, various smaller attempts at order were made, but these only extended to individual documents. For example, evaluation notes were added to some files, such as 'less valuable except for letters' or 'worthless except for any individual letters'. Further on there was an order which contained at least 18 tufts or individual pieces and which can still be reconstructed with the following numbers:1 Memories23 Letter from Friedrich Grand Duke of Baden, 19234 Bethmann Hollweg5 Fritz von Graevenitz (Letter to Weizsäcker, 1911-1918)6 Kiderlen-Waechter7 Letters from Adolf Freiherr Marschall von Bieberstein, (1906) 19088 Letters from Moser von Filseck, 1906-19139 Letter from Ritter, Königiglich Bayerischer Gesandter in Stuttgart, 190910 correspondence with Wilhelm Herzog von Urach, 1906-192411 correspondence with Queen Charlotte von Württemberg, 1922-192512 Philipp Albrecht Herzog von Württemberg, 1914-192413 motivation of the dismissal of the Reich Chancellor Prince Bülow by Emperor Wilhelm II.14 Warschuldfrage 1925-192615161718a Varnbülerberichte vom 14. Juli 1909 (Daily Telegraph-Affäre)Parts of the estate were filmed by the Federal Archives in 1965, and after the estate had been transferred to the Main State Archives, it was systematically arranged and recorded by the Director of the State Archives, Dr. Eberhard Gönner, between 1975 and 1979. The 18 tufts mentioned above could not remain in their previous composition. The temporal classification of Weizsäcker's notes caused certain difficulties, because they could not always be clearly identified as contemporary notes or later notes for planned publications. The title recordings were revised by Eberhard Gönner from November 1985 to March 1986, whereby the correspondences were further broken down and indices created. For reasons of clarity, the "Contained" and "Darin" notes as well as the "Subjects" have generally been numbered consecutively. The "Contains" and "Darin" notes generally correspond to archival units (documents or subfascicles), the "Concern" only exceptionally.177 tufts of files with a total of 2.6 m.
