Scope and content
The history of the development of the collection After the town unification in 1929, the old registries of the formerly independent towns were first accommodated in the newly established Solingen town archive under the direction of Richard Erntges in the new administration building Cronenberger Straße (formerly WKC). None of the formerly independent cities had previously had their own archives. Erntges - with the help of auxiliary staff - developed these six stocks according to a uniform file plan. Therefore there are gaps in the systematics in all files of the formerly independent cities. In most cases, the individual classification group titles also served as file titles, usually only differentiated according to "generalia" (usually without local subjects) and "specialia" (the files created by the respective city administration for the local occur. Some files, which according to the file plan or tape count had originally once been available, were included in the directory by Erntges because he probably had the hope that the files could possibly appear again. To date, this has not happened, so that in these cases we have to assume cassations before 1929. In the search book you will find the note "empty" in these files. For reasons of completeness, the data records from the "Historical Archive" were also duplicated into this collection, the term of which ends after 1808. Likewise a part of the files (above all school chronicles and trade or restaurant concessions) ends only after 1930, thus correctly belongs to the stock SG. A further distortion has been omitted until today due to time reasons. May 2008 Ralf Rogge
