The Lower Saxony State Archives - Osnabrück Department on Schloßstraße

history

After Osnabrück and the Kingdom of Hanover became part of the Prussian state in 1866, the Osnabrück State Archives were founded, the first archivist of which was Dr. Hermann Veltmann started his service in February 1869. The archive was located at that time in Osnabrück Castle . Due to the poor spatial accommodation, among other things, there were several attempts to relocate the State Archives to Hanover. In order to prevent the archive from being removed, the city of Osnabrück provided the Prussian state free of charge with a plot of land on Schloßstraße and Schloßwall for the new state archive to be built. In 1917, in the middle of the First World War , the purpose- built archive building could be completed and occupied.

Much of the inventory was relocated during World War II . During an air raid on September 26, 1944, the administration building was destroyed by a bomb. Archives were not damaged. The archived material could be brought back to Osnabrück by the end of 1946. Until the reconstruction of the destroyed administration building in 1954 and 1955, the service and administration rooms were temporarily located in the warehouse building. Due to the growing holdings of the State Archives, another warehouse building was built between 1983 and 1986.

In 2005 the Osnabrück State Archives were incorporated into the Lower Saxony State Archives. In 2006 and 2007, the administration building was finally rebuilt to be barrier-free and the public area with reading room, technical user room and conference room moved to the ground floor and the service and administration rooms to the upper floor.
