The State Archives of Thuringia is a higher authority of the Free State of Thuringia , which is subordinate to the Thuringian State Chancellery . It was created in 2016 as part of the reform of the State Archives Act . In doing so, the six state archives, which had previously been equally independent, were combined. They keep archives from around 8 centuries. The stock measures around 65 kilometers of storage.
history
The state archive structure of the state of Thuringia is based on the state structure before the abolition of the monarchy in Germany . After Thuringia was founded in 1923, it was created based on the regional rulership structure at that time, which was finally given its first own legal framework in 1932 by the Thuringian archive regulations .
In 1952 the states in the GDR were dissolved . The Gera district, for which the archive in Rudolstadt was responsible, was created on the state territory of Thuringia, the Erfurt district for which the archive in Weimar received the archival material and the Suhl district , for which the archive in Meiningen was responsible. The remaining state archives were retained as historical archives.
After reunification in 1990 , archives were restored in the new state of Thuringia with six state archives. The Thuringian law on the safeguarding and use of archive material of April 23, 1992 was created as the legal basis . The State Chancellery has exercised supervision as the highest authority since 2014 and in 2016 the archives were combined under the State Archives. Among other things, it followed the example of the Baden-Württemberg State Archives .
