history

Documents from city life have been archived in Munich since the Middle Ages . As a rule, the city ​​treasurer was responsible for this task . In 1771 a full-time archivist was appointed, who from 1845 was responsible for keeping records of the important events on each day. It has had its own municipal office since 1893. It was initially located in a building on Marienplatz that had been redesigned by Hans Grässel ; In 1920 it moved to its current location.

Stocks

Many documents relating to the city of Munich can be found in the Munich State Archives ; This is due to the differently distributed competencies of the city and state in earlier times, for example in the police sector. Most of the documents in the city archive naturally come from the 19th and 20th centuries, the time after Munich's strongest growth began.

The oldest document is from the year 1265. The city archives have 2,381 documents from the period before 1500, and a further 6922 documents from the following three centuries. Large parts of these documents are council minutes, tax books and chamber accounts.

The holdings of the city archive include the following parts: The mayor and council holdings contain documents from the highest city ​​administration on all municipal areas of responsibility. The trade office contains documents from the field of business and commerce, including the archive of the Spaten brewery . The holdings of the local building commission have collected material from the history of the building, including building permit files and construction plans for private buildings; Urban buildings are included in the building authority . Documents on municipal and private schools can be found in the inventory of the school office , those on urban cultural policy and development in the inventory of the cultural office - including files from the city ​​museum and the Munich Philharmonic . In addition to these holdings, there are registration records from the first third of the 19th century, the Munich city chronicle , which dates back to 1818 , numerous bequests and a collection of photos, which also contains things compiled by Karl Valentin .

Since September 2009 the city archive has been storing all Munich birth , marriage and death certificates for which the statutory retention period according to the Civil Status Reform Act has expired; previously the registry office was solely responsible for this .
