The A / A Pr. Br. collection group comprises the old holdings from the period up to 1945. This includes the records of the City Council, the City Magistrate since 1809 and its predecessor authorities since the Middle Ages as well as the district offices since 1920 together with their predecessors. In addition, there are documents from the courts as well as from Prussian and Reich authorities, including the Police President of Berlin and the Prussian Building and Finance Directorate. Documents from numerous Berlin commercial enterprises, such as Borsig and Osram, reflect Berlin's economic history. Documents, maps and audiovisual archives can be found in the F holdings, documents from 1945 to 1990 for Berlin (West) in the B holdings, for Berlin (East) in the C holdings.

The core of the so-called New Archive created around 1850 is essentially the tradition of the princely central administration (domain chancellery, cabinet) from the middle of the 19th century onwards, including the older records still in the registry at that time. In addition, the Bronnbach Monastery archive, which had initially remained at its original location, was incorporated into the New Archive. In addition, private correspondence and private documents of individual members of the Princely House have been received on a large scale, as well as a large part of the document tradition of the Princely Archives, which was still unrecorded in the middle of the 19th century. From the princely local administration it seems that at first only selection search material was transferred to the New Archive. Central administrative offices outside the domain office, such as the various cash registers, also seem to have hardly handed over any files to the New Archive. On the other hand, archive records from the Old Archive have been incorporated to a considerable extent into the New Archive, either through direct levies or via the registry of the Domain Chancellery. The holdings of the New Archive therefore overlap considerably with the tradition of the so-called Old Archive, both in terms of time and content.<br /><br />Content and Evaluation<br /><br />The New Archive, unlike the Old Archive, which is structured in small parts, is composed of a few broadly defined mixed holdings which, with the exception of the St. Lit. A special position within the New Archive is occupied by the holdings of Lit. St., which is the only one with a systematic structure and also predominantly contains documents from the period before 1806. The content of the various literatures overlaps to a greater or lesser extent. Ultimately, they do not have a clear thematic profile; to the extent that such a profile existed when the respective portfolio was created, it was usually broken through in the subsequent period. In the period that followed, archive records were also taken from the New Archive; this applies above all to the documents initially included in Lit. A, which were summarised around 1900 in a selection (US). Today, new database-supported finding aids are available for most of the Neues Archiv's holdings, which also prove the provenance of the documents.

The emergence of military court authorities is closely linked to the formation of standing armies. While military jurisdiction, which was exempt from civil courts, was usually exercised by laymen in mercenary armies, trained lawyers, so-called auditors, took over this task in standing armies. They were responsible for the investigation of criminal offences, the prosecution and the justification of judgements in the troop unit. The regimental commander remained the lord of the court and pronounced judgement. At the beginning of the 18th century, a higher military court was created in Saxony. Judgements handed down by the regimental courts martial now had to be submitted to the general court martial, and from 1835 to the higher court martial, for review and confirmation if the judgement was against 'life, limb or honour' of the defendant. From 1718, an auditor was assigned to each troop unit as an officer of military justice who, alongside the regimental commander, was subordinate to the Auditor General. From 1789, the General Courts Martial College replaced the General Courts Martial, where only the Auditor General was active. All courts martial were subordinate to this. It consisted of a president, usually a general, and four permanent court martial councillors, chaired by the Auditor General. <br/><br/>With Saxony's accession to the North German Confederation in 1867 and the conclusion of a military convention with Prussia, the Saxon army ceased to exist independently and was integrated into the North German Confederation as the XII. Army Corps into the North German Federal Army. Military jurisdiction was now strongly orientated towards the Prussian model, which was based on the division of criminal jurisdiction into two parts. The lower jurisdiction extended to all persons who did not hold officer rank and included offences that were only punishable by arrest. The courts martial corresponding to the lower jurisdiction were formed at regimental level and officers were assigned to them as investigators and representatives of the prosecution. The higher jurisdiction extended to all persons subject to military criminal jurisdiction and covered all offences. At divisional level, the courts martial consisted of five judges, including one or two court martial counsellors. They were the courts of first instance for all cases not subject to lower jurisdiction and the court of appeal for the summary courts.<br/><br/>In 1898, a new, standardised military criminal court code was passed. This led to the dissolution of the High War Court in 1900 and the establishment of new High War Courts at the respective general commands instead. They were courts of appeal for the judgements of the courts martial and only met for individual cases. The most important feature of the new court organisation was the introduction of a court of appeal. Contested judgements could now be reviewed by a court of higher jurisdiction. The institution of the lord of the court, who was still able to convene courts martial, courts martial and higher courts martial, as well as the division of jurisdiction remained. With the abolition of military jurisdiction in 1920, the courts martial were dissolved.

Collected holdings, which mainly, alson its oldest parts, originate from submissions of the district governments of then Rhine Province. In addition, there are maps that were extracted in the archive from files of then authorities and courts of the older period; somen particularly valuable pieces of the old drawn maps come from then files of the Imperial Chamber Court. They also include maps fromn deliveries from other authorities in the Rhine Province as well as state andn municipal authorities in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The collection is being continued, but the holdings are currently only growing slightly, mostly through the acquisition of individual items of different types and origins. Map deliveries from the state authorities and non-state institutions are generally organised into provenance holdings, which are based on the example of the map holdings of Departments 2 (cadastre, agricultural planning, hydraulic engineering and shipping authorities, etc.) and 4.a.) and 4n (Geological State Office, State Surveying Office, etc.) are not incorporated into then collective holdings of maps, especially ifn they grow. The majority of the drawn and engraved maps in then collection date from the 18th and early 19th century. Then oldest map is a view of the city of Sittard from 1538. A depiction of the Vichttal valley near Stolberg with the brass-producing Dollartshammer from 1548, the map of the Bergisches Amt Windeck by Arnold Mercator from 1575, the Rhine map by Johann Bucker from 1713, the topography of the Duchy of Berg and some of the Jülich offices by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715 and the map of the Duchy of Berg by Wiebeking from 1790-1792 have received more attention to date; the klevischenn cadastral maps from the 1730s are now assigned to the localn kleve-mark holdings. The archive unit (map number)n is not defined; it designates the individual map as well as the map composed ofn several sheets, the map series and then atlas.
