Archival history

The list includes the collection of the Wertinger chief official judge Richard Kalkhof (born 31.12.1858 in Gersfeld (Rhön); died 06.06.1925 in Traunstein) for a parliamentary study trip to D e u t s c h - O s t a f r i k a in 1906. Kalkhof had been appointed head of the district court of Wertingen in 1897. In 1903 he was elected to the Augsburg-Schwabmünchen-Wertingen constituency as a member of the Reichstag of the Zentrums-Partei, for which he sat in the Reichstag for two terms. As a member of the Colonial Committee in 1906, he belonged to a group of nine members of the Reichstag who undertook a study trip to D e u t s c h - O s t a f r i k a , about which he wrote a book entitled "Parlamentarische Studienreise nach Deutsch-Ostafrika" (Parliamentary Study Trip to D e u t s c h - O s t a f r i k a) (Berlin 1907). In 1974 Kalkhof's daughter Josefine Mayr donated memorabilia from the study trip to the museum of local history and the town archive in Wertingen. The objects in rem of this collection are recorded in the database of the Heimatmuseum and are located in the exhibition rooms of the museum in Schloss Wertingen. Documents, postcards and photos are kept in the town archive Wertingen under the sign 35.008.
