Filing string
A filing string was traditionally used by the Baden administration to staple files ( Badische Aktenheftung ). Even today it is still used by the judiciary in the former Baden part of Baden-Württemberg . The filing strings available from the Bruchsal correctional facility are also referred to there as filing nests . The cords are available in the colors natural, green and blue, the natural colored ones are also available in three thicknesses.
In the Württemberg part of the country, on the other hand, conventional file folders with holes in accordance with ISO 838 are used.
Filing cords are made of undyed cotton thread and are stiffened at the ends to make threading easier. They are then used with a special file node to summarize the processes.
The pages are punched with a special, narrow hole punch on the upper left edge and then tied together with the string so that further files can be added at any time. The advantage of binding files in Baden in contrast to files is that only the space that the files themselves take up is used in the archive.
Special colored filing cords with paper seals are sometimes used for extracts from the land register .
