The Badische Filing (also: " Badische Oberrandheftung " or " Badische Lochung ") is a procedure developed in the Baden administration and judiciary to bind and archive extensive files without the use of files . There is evidence that it has been used by the Privy Councilor Nikolaus Brauer since the reform of the Baden archives system ; it is described in the archival regulations and official instructions of Margrave Carl Friedrich zu Baden and Hochberg from 1801 drawn up by Brauer , but was probably used long before that.

Because of the practical advantages and the low material costs, the Badische Filing has become particularly popular with public prosecutors and courts in the district of the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court (which roughly corresponds to the former Republic of Baden ), the General State Archives Karlsruhe , the Sigmaringen Administrative Court (former Hohenzollernsche Lande ) and in certain areas of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Justice . The archives of the Badische Landeskirche also work in this way from time to time.

Procedure

The individual pages are punched twice with a special hole punch at the top left. The holes have a diameter of approx. 2.5 mm and are 43 mm apart. The distance to the edge is 15 mm, the distance to the top edge is 20 mm (according to the illustration opposite). Between the perforated cardboard cover and bottom, the file pages are connected with a filing cord so that the two ends on the back of the folder form what is known as the Baden file node can be bound. The removal or addition of sheets is only possible at the end of the file; the node must be opened for this. If a sheet is to be removed or stapled in another location, all sheets must be removed up to this point and then stapled again. For threading the file pages onto the cord, so-called filing picks or file engravers are used.

To edit the file, the knot is not tightened, but rather tied at a distance from the folder of the reading knot (a simple loop). This allows the read pages to be turned back. In contrast to loose-leaf binders , for example , the left margin and the right margin of the back of the sheet can be read without any problems; In contrast to file folders, the sheets can be folded back 360 ° so that the opened file (e.g. when reading out the indictment ) can be comfortably held in one hand. For archiving, the knot is tightened so that the file is pulled tightly together (archive or rest knot).

  • File punch for producing "Badischer file holes"

  • "File engraver" as a threading aid

  • "Badischer Aktenkknot" on the back of a file

  • Reading node for turning the pages of files

  • turned page

Badisch stapled files are not stored upright like file folders, but lying flat. Several files can be stacked on top of each other. This means that only the space that the files actually take up is used in the filing cabinet. Due to the flat storage, the files are only slightly damaged even if they are archived for a long time.

Badische Aktenlocher were made at least until 2007 by a master mechanic in Ettlingen , who has since given up his workshop. The production was taken over by the prison workshops of the JVA Mannheim , which also makes file engravers. Baden filing cutters, filing cords and filing punches are available in Karlsruhe in specialist office shops; File engravers and file punches can also be obtained from the enforcement agency.

Legal bases

In the instruction for the administration of the written material at the offices of the courts and public prosecutor's offices of the Ministry of Justice of Baden-Württemberg, the additional provisions under II.12:

The former Baden (decree of the Minister of Culture, Education and Justice of December 1, 1934 No. J 601 20, Bad. JMBl. P. 281), Württemberg (decree of the Ministry of Justice of December 17, 1934, official gazette p. 273 ) and Hohenzollern additional provisions to the filing system (AV d. RJM of November 28, 1934, Deutsche Justiz p. 1492) are repealed. With regard to the procedural files in the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court district, however, the previous stapling system remains for the time being (see No. 3 of the earlier Baden additional provisions, loc. Cit.).

No. 3 of the decree of the Minister of Culture, Education and Justice of December 1, 1934 No. J 601 20, Bad, referred to here. JMBl. P. 281 reads:

The filing and stapling of the files must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Sections 29 and 30 of the registry regulations . The inscriptions on the file covers must correspond to the forms introduced; they are to be added by hand.

The Instructive Ordinance concerning the forms of business at the lower courts (Aemtern) from March 19, 1829, RegBl. P. 45, stipulates in its § 10:

All-do to an object reference logs, documents and supplements are to arrange the order of time and to sting .
