The City Archives Frankfurt (Oder) is the archive of the city of Frankfurt (Oder) in the state of Brandenburg .
The oldest existing archive directory in Frankfurt dates back to 1546. In 1822 the archive was reorganized by Heinrich Bardeleben and made accessible to those interested in history. In 1890 the archive was relocated from the town hall to the sacristy of the Franciscan monastery church and Adolf Gurnik was appointed as the first archive manager. There were further relocations and towards the end of the Second World War relocations to the east, among others. After the conquest by the Red Army, numerous documents of the holdings deposited in the city were lost through arson.
In the spring of 1946 Elfriede Schirrmacher began to save the remaining holdings and to bring them back together. In 1962, 62 shelf meters of archive material from Poland could be returned to the Frankfurt archive. In 1976 the archive building in Collegienstraße was occupied and Ralf-Rüdiger Targiel took over management. The historian and archivist Denny Becker has been head of the house since the beginning of 2019.
