Preface The present collection GStA PK, IV HA Prussian Army, Rep. 15 B Military History mainly comprises a collection of files on war and army history as well as biographical materials from the former holdings GStA PK, IV HA A Prussian Army Archive and GStA PK, IV HA B Military History Collection, which was created mainly through acquisitions of files (purchases, gifts etc.) after 1967 in the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Property. 14 files from the former Bundesarchiv Militärisches Zwischenarchiv Potsdam have been classified. Since 1966/68, the Secret State Archives of the PK and the Federal Archives of the Freiburg Military Archives have been regulated that the files dated before January 1, 1867 belong in the Secret State Archives of the PK and after December 31, 1866 in the Federal Archives of the Military Archives. In the course of this demarcation regulation, a joint meeting of representatives of the Geheimes Staatsarchivs PK, the Bundesarchivs Abt. Militärarchiv Freiburg and the Bundesarchivs Militärisches Zwischenarchiv Potsdam took place in Potsdam on 16 September 1992. In this meeting the questions of demarcation of the Prussian army, which were handed down in the Bundesarchiv Militärisches Zwischenarchiv Potsdam, were discussed. In addition to the files, which were taken over from the former Soviet Union in 1988, there were already more extensive documents of the Prussian army. After these files were handed over in December 1995, the Secret State Archive PK began to merge the files transferred from the former Federal Archive Military Interim Archive Potsdam to Dahlem with the files of the GStA PK, IV HA A Prussian Army Archive and GStA PK, IV HA B Collection of Military History. In this context the designation IV HA Prussian Army Archive in IV. HA Prussian Army changed. The partial stock of military history was given the repository number Rep. 15 B. Mrs. Fröhlich has been entering the data into the Augias database since 1996. Some file titles and contained notes were checked and in some cases supplemented. Parallel to the development work, the magazine-technical processing took place. The files were re-signed, provided with new signature plates and packed in file boxes. How to order and quote: The archives listed here are stored in the magazine in Dahlem. The pink order forms must therefore be used. The files are to be ordered as follows: IV.
