Ketteler was assassinated during the Boxer Uprising on 20 June 1900.

Formation history: After the army had undergone an enormous enlargement as a result of the constitution of the German Reich, an army inspection was formed for three to four army corps together. In 1877 the V. Army Inspection was set up in Karlsruhe. Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden was appointed General Inspector in his capacity as Colonel General of the Cavalry and was responsible for the XIV, XV and XVI Army Corps. By 1913, the number of inspections had increased from four to eight. The general inspectors were intended to lead the armies to be deployed in the event of war. In peacetime, they only had the right to inspect the army corps subordinated to them. Since they lacked the command over the assigned commanding generals of the army corps, they also had no military staffs. When the war broke out in 1914, the V Army Inspectorate in Karlsruhe was headed by Grand Duke Friedrich II of Baden as Colonel General with the rank of Field Marshal General. The V Army Inspectorate was assigned the VIII, XIV and XV Army Corps at the outbreak of war. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained in the area of the XIV Army Corps. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps was begun, in which the archives of the settlement agencies were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archive Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 22 fascicles with a circumference of 0.30 linear metres are included in the holdings.
