history

Old school building am Laien: until 2017 the official seat of the city archive

After the Second World War, the Ditzingen archive holdings were systematically organized and looked after on a voluntary basis by the city administrator and local history researcher Otto Schubert, who also set up a local history museum. Even after it was passed, the administration remained in the hands of honorary and part-time workers until the end of 1984. On January 1, 1985, a full-time archivist was established. After the construction of the New Town Hall am Laien , the holdings of the districts of Heimerdingen, Hirschlanden and Schöckingen, which were combined with Ditzingen in the course of the regional reform in 1971 and 1975, were centralized in Ditzingen. In September 1992 the city archive moved into offices in the former school building opposite the town hall. Additional storage space was made available in the basement of the school center in Glemsaue. The stocks stored there were partially severely damaged in 2010 by a heavy rain event and the associated Glem flood and, after being salvaged, secured with the support of the Coordination Office for the Preservation of Written Cultural Assets (KEK) as part of a model project funding.

In 2015, the previously jointly managed areas of responsibility for the city archive and the city museum were organizationally separated. The move to the new archive building in the Hirschlanden district (2017), where a former supermarket was converted for the city archive and as a museum depot, made it possible for the first time to combine the office, user area and magazine under one roof.

The archive is divided into the following groups:

  • A: Old archive (Ditzingen and districts up to the territorial reform 1971/75)
  • B: Newer administrative archive (holdings since 1975)
  • D: Other official documents (taxes from the district archive, etc.)
  • Q: Photo collection
  • N: Unofficial tradition, bequests and other third-party origins
  • S: City history collections

The oldest archival document is the Ditzinger Fleckenbuch from 1524 ( Red Book ). The historical holdings also include: Schöckingen warehouse records from the years 1625, 1673, 1701 and 1706, the register, load and night quarters record of the community of Ditzingen from 1722, the court and community council records from Ditzingen (from 1780), Heimerdingen (from 1761), Hirschlanden (from 1756) and Schöckingen (from 1701) as well as the files and volumes of the voluntary jurisdiction (purchase books, goods books, pawn books, wills, inventories and divisions) from all four districts.

In accordance with an agreement with the Ludwigsburg State Archives , the city archive also takes on the transfer of documents from the Ditzingen schools. In addition to collections of individual types of archival material (maps and plans; posters; celebratory items; postcards; official seals), the collection items also include those with a relevant topic (religion and church; politics and parties; associations; schools; industry and economy) as well as personal and family history Collection. The main focus of the collection is the life and work of the composer and organist Konrad Kocher, who was born in Ditzingen, and the explorer Theodor von Heuglin , who was born in what is now the Hirschlanden district.

Together with the city museum, the archive maintains a reference library on Württemberg regional history and folklore.
