Pomeranian Association for Heritage and Heraldry

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pomeranian Association for Heritage and Heraldry was a genealogical association in Pomerania before the Second World War .

history

The association was founded in Stettin in 1923 as the “Pomeranian Regional Group” of Roland (Association for Heritage and Heraldry) in Dresden . In 1926 a family history exhibition was held in Szczecin, which made the young association very well known. Soon the name was changed to "Pomeranian Association for Heraldry and Heraldry". At the end of 1934, the association separated from the Roland zu Dresden and then in 1935 became a member of the Volksbund of German clan societies as a state association for the province of Pomerania.

organization

The chairman was Martin Bethe , who was in the position of being chairman until 1942. For health reasons, he handed over the chairmanship to authorized signatory Eberhard Meyer in 1943. In order to be in close contact with the entire province of Pomerania, there was a network of shop stewards (over 50 people in 1935) in the individual towns. According to the last annual report in 1940, the number of members was 200.

Publications

From 1933 the magazine “Family History Messages of the Pomeranian Association for Heritage and Heraldry” was published. The publication, which initially appeared quarterly with an edition of 1,800, was sent out with the monthly sheets of the Society for Pomeranian History and Archeology. From 1936 onwards, the fourth year under the title Familiengeschichtliche Mitteilungen and Vereinnachrichten ( Family History Messages and Association News) appeared as an independent publication, from 1939 as Pomeranian Kinship Research - Familiengeschichtliche Mitteilungen der Pommersche Vereinigung für Stamm- und Wappenkunde until 1941, then the publication was stopped due to the war.

Fundamental work for family research in Pomerania has appeared in these booklets, as an example:

  • Walter Eylert: The dressmaker's guild in Stolp.
  • Otto Gebhard: Friderizian colonies and colonists in Pomerania according to the status of the year 1754.
  • Gerd Fuhrmann: The residents of the Rügenwalder office in 1663.
  • Karl Loeck: Szczecin councilors from the 16th to 18th centuries Century.

Post war history

After the war, the scattered Pomeranian genealogists, most of whom had lost their collections, first formed a working group under the aegis of Hans Hartkopf and Herbert Spruth , then in 1957 again a “Pomeranian Association for Heritage and Heraldry”. As early as 1955, Hartkopf had published a genealogical journal under the name Sedina-Archiv as a supplement to the Stettiner Zeitung , which then continued to appear from 1957 with the subtitle: “Family history messages from the Pomeranian Association for Heritage and Heraldry”. After Herberth Spruth's death in 1972, Max Bruhn took over the editorial office. A registered association did not arise from it. It was not until 2000 that a Pomeranian genealogical association was founded again with the Pomeranian Greif , which continued the Sedina archive , which had previously been published independently, as an association journal.
