The Stormarn District Archive is the municipal archive of the Stormarn District in Schleswig-Holstein . In addition to securing the tradition of the Stormarn district administration, it keeps diverse and extensive collections on the development of the region since the early modern period. It is located in the district town of Bad Oldesloe .

history

From 1924 until the Second World War, the administration of the Stormarn district employed a volunteer archivist, Walter Frahm , who collected and saved historical documents. From 1948 to 1976, local history researcher Martin Wulf continued these tasks. In 1981 the art historian Johannes Spallek was hired as a full-time district cultural advisor. As head of the district archive, he was also responsible for establishing a regular transfer of administrative documents and initiating projects to research the history of Stormarn. From this point on, the archive was assigned to the main office. In 1990 an archivist was set up, which was filled for the first time by a trained specialist archivist in 2002. The current district archivist took up his duties on October 1, 2003.

The archive was initially located in the Stormarnhaus in Wandsbek . After the bombing of Hamburg-Wandsbek in 1943 and the relocation of the district administration to Bad Oldesloe, the documents were distributed over several administrative buildings in the city for reasons of space. In February 1997, the district archive moved into the new building in Mommsenstrasse, where it has connected offices, user workstations and around 350 m² of passively air-conditioned storage space.

The district archive stores around 950 linear meters of documents. Around 86% consist of administrative files of the district, mainly from the period from 1950 onwards, due to major losses due to war damage. In addition, there are traditions from companies whose founding the district helped initiate, such as the Sparkasse Stormarn , the Stormarn economic and development company , the Stormarn waste management company or the mobile library in the Stormarn district . There are also documents from associations (e.g. district sports association ), clubs, foundations, political parties, trade unions and business enterprises, as well as personal papers from people from the world of politics and art.

Stormarner Tageblatt , Lübecker Nachrichten , Ahrensburger , Glinder and Reinbeker / Bergedorfer Zeitung are collected and provide a broad insight into the regional press landscape. Almost all newspapers have been or are currently being digitized. So far, only the Stormarnsche Zeitung (1880–1906) has been offered online for copyright reasons .

The archive also has around 400,000 photographs, including the bequests of several journalists such as Raimund Marfels , Bernd Nursey , Ulrike Schwalm , Marion Böckel , 20,000 slides, more than 4,000 posters, several thousand maps and plans, sound and film material and so far around 200 interviews with contemporary witnesses . At the turn of the millennium, the district archive recorded the records using the Augias archive software.
