history

Until the end of the First World War , the church also had sovereignty over civil law files. With the separation of state and church in 1919, the leadership of the regional church handed over its old files to the responsible state archives in Lower Saxony . It then became apparent that the company's own files were missing in property disputes. Therefore, in 1928, the Landeskirchentag called for the establishment of its own regional church archive. But it wasn't until 1933, suddenly accelerated by the demand of the National Socialists for the so-called Aryan certificates . Nevertheless, the church registers remained with the parishes as the basis for the Aryan records. The newly created regional church archive only received the files from around 1750 that remained in the regional church office.
The service building was initially destroyed by the air raids on Hanover in World War II. After the war, parts of the archives were lost due to the flood disaster in Hanover in 1946 .
The regional church archive has been housed in its own archive building at its current location in Goethestrasse since 1999. External magazines exist at the former location at Am Steinbruch in Hannover-Linden and in the former Ansgar Church in Voltmerstrasse in Hannover-Hainholz, which has been converted into a magazine building .
The archive acts as the office of the Society for Church History in Lower Saxony . It is a member of the Association of Church Archives .
The theologian Hans Otte was the chief archivist / director of the regional church archive for many years. Her successor on October 1, 2015, was the theologian and library director Mareike Rake.
