State Archives Ludwigsburg
The Ludwigsburg State Archives, founded in 1868, are now responsible for the delivery of around 680 state authorities from the Stuttgart administrative region . The historical holdings come from the northern part of Württemberg. Particularly noteworthy are the ruling chamber files (more than 500,000) created by the home ruling chambers in the course of denazification .
In the Ludwigsburg State Archives you can also find the files of the Stuttgart Police Headquarters, the decorative folders and role books of the Stuttgart State Theater and all of the birth records of the State Women's Clinic in Stuttgart ; the documents of the Teutonic Order , official books of the Ellwangen Abbey and documents from Ulm , Esslingen am Neckar , Heilbronn and other former free imperial cities . (Personnel) files of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and the Deutsche Bundesbahn from the Reichs- / Bundesbahndirektion Stuttgart are also in the archive.
The Ludwigsburg State Archives, originally housed in Ludwigsburg Palace , have been located in the former Arsenal barracks in the center of Ludwigsburg since 1995. It comprises two building complexes: On the one hand, the Arsenal building (Arsenalplatz 3), in which, in addition to the staff's offices and the library, there are areas intended for the public (reading room, lecture hall and exhibition room).
On the other hand, there is the Zeughaus (Mathildenstrasse 1), the state archive's storeroom, in which over 40,000 running meters of archival material are stored under air-conditioned conditions and the documents delivered by the authorities are received. Both buildings are connected by an underground corridor, through which the documents ordered to be presented to interested users are transported to the reading room by means of a transport system.
In the course of the administrative structure reform of Baden-Württemberg in 2005, the Ludwigsburg State Archives became a department of the newly created Baden-Württemberg State Archives .
