The Department Stade (until 2013: State Archives Stade : 2019 Location Stade des) Lower Saxony State Archives was up to the territorial and administrative reform of 1 February 1978 of the filing of the state written material in the district of Stade , whose borders on the Landdrostei Stade on the secular duchies or the medieval ecclesiastical principalities of Bremen and Verden as well as the land of Hadeln acquired from the Electorate of Hanover in 1731 . In addition, the Stade department of the NLA keeps the closed land registers of the Hamburg State Archives and the archive of the knighthood of the Duchy of Bremen and the landscape of the Duchies of Bremen and Verden.

history

After the Archbishopric of Bremen and Verden Abbey were conquered by the Swedes in the middle of the 17th century, they created a modern and effective administrative organization with various central authorities (such as the Stade Court Court) in Stade, the new seat of the Swedish governor. The government archive set up in 1651 was one of these administrative innovations.

In order to better secure the archival material, in 1864 the Hanover State Archives first took over the holdings of documents from the Stader Government Archives, which were completely transferred there in 1869/70.

During the Second World War , valuable older documents, copy books and files from the Stade area were lost as a result of the bombing of Hanover. In 1959 again an independent authority ( Lower Saxony State Archive ), the archive moved into the newly built brick high-rise in 1965 in the southern old town of Stade. Since 1978 it has been responsible for the records of the state offices in the area of ​​the government district of Lüneburg , which existed from 1978 to 2004 , in which the old administrative district of Stade and large parts of the old administrative district of Lüneburg have merged.

The State Archives have belonged to the Lower Saxony State Archives since 2005 . The new building near the train station in Stade, which was moved into in 2014, was planned and built in a cross-border cooperation between the State of Lower Saxony and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . The new magazine will be published jointly by both countries. a. used for the safekeeping of land register documents.

Service building

The new Stader archive building is an archive-political, transnational (network) model. The developer is the state of Lower Saxony . The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (FHH) has contributed to the planning, property, development and construction costs and secured the capacity of 20 shelf kilometers in the new 50 shelf kilometer magazine for the storage of Hamburg land registry documents. The FHH contributes accordingly to the running operating costs.

The new office building was opened on May 19, 2014 in the presence of Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil and the First Mayor of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Olaf Scholz . It is based on a clear functional separation of magazine, magazine preparation, public and administrative areas. This is the basis for optimally running work processes from the delivery of archived material to permanent storage in storage and presentation in the reading room. Through the targeted use of building physics principles, an economical building was created that causes low operating and energy costs. The warehouse building meets special structural and physical requirements. Particularly noteworthy is the passive air conditioning of the magazine with the aim of creating a room climate that is suitable for all archival material and stabilizes itself without major technical precautions. Since the building has to be founded on a good 400 bored piles, it made sense to use these piles as well as possible for energy generation ( geothermal energy ).

Jurisdiction

The responsibility of the Stade department in the Lower Saxony State Archives, supervision of authorities and acceptance of state documents

The archive takes over the archivable documents, files, maps, plans and files of the state authorities, the state courts and other departments in its district, makes them accessible and makes them available for use. It also secures historically important documents from the non-governmental area (e.g. from municipalities, associations, companies, individuals).

The Stade department stores the documents from the area of ​​the Bremen Archbishopric and Verden Abbey, which existed until 1645 . Constantly changing rulers shaped the further history of this room. From 1648 to 1712 the duchies of Bremen and Verden were provinces of the Swedish territory. After a short period under Danish rule, they belonged to the Electorate of Hanover for almost a hundred years from 1715, together with the Land of Hadeln .

At the beginning of the 19th century, the French occupied the Elbe-Weser region, which after the Congress of Vienna fell to the Kingdom of Hanover as part of the territorial reorganization of Europe . In 1823 the Landdrostei district of Stade was formed. In 1866 Hanover was annexed by Prussia . In 1885 the Prussian government district of Stade was established, which was responsible for the area of ​​the former Landdrostei Stade and its extent remained largely the same until 1978. The administrative district of Stade was incorporated into the newly organized administrative district of Lüneburg in 1978 and since then the state archive in Stade has been securing the state records of this greatly enlarged area.

Projects and Cooperations
