History of the inventor: In 1884 the German Reich took over the protection of the Bremen merchant Franz Adolf Eduard Lüderitz by acquiring land; in 1885 the German administration was established; the German colonial society, founded in 1895, expanded the German sphere of influence; in 1915 the Schutztruppe surrendered to the armed forces of the South African Union and the German administration ended. Inventory description: Inventory history At the end of the 1930s, the Reichsarchiv took over the files of the Colonial Administration of D e u t s c h - S ü d w e s t a f r i k a, in some cases with considerable gaps in their transmission. After the relocation caused by the war, they were transferred to the Central State Archive in Potsdam in 1945. Here, the classification of the holdings into the central administration of Windhoek, the local administrations and the special administrations (justice, police, mining, railways) with their substructures, which had already been carried out in the Reich Archives, was preserved. The few volumes of files kept in the Federal Archives in Koblenz were assigned to the holdings after the reunification of Germany. Archive evaluation and processing In addition to the factual files of the most varied areas and administrative levels, the personnel files of the inspection of the state police as well as the railway administration and railway construction authorities form the most extensive groups of files with about 80 per cent of the transmission. The classification of the stock was carried out largely in accordance with the classification shown in the provisional finding aid, which was based on the registry scheme valid at the time. Only in a few individual cases were volumes assigned to a different classification. The order and titles of the volumes remained essentially unchanged. An index of persons, objects and places has been omitted, so that searches are only possible via the online version of this finding aid book. Content characterisation: Central administration; governorate in Windhoek; commissioner of the former governorate in Windhoek; local administration; district offices; district offices; administration of justice; high court in Windhoek; district courts; mountain authorities; registration aids.
