The University Archive | Thuringian State Music Archive (proper name: HSA | ThLMA ) was founded in October 1995 as a central institution of the Liszt School of Music Weimar and initially took on the classic tasks as an intermediate and final archive for the files of the university administration.

history

Original score and violin part for Mozart's Magic Flute (in Goethe's version) in front of historical slipcases to store the valuable sheet music

The urgent need for proper safekeeping of valuable musical treasures, which can still be found today in numerous Thuringian parish and community archives, led to a considerable expansion of tasks just a few years after the foundation, which resulted in the appointment to the Thuringian State Music Archive. On the basis of a framework agreement with the Evangelical Church in Central Germany , the HSA | ThLMA has been offering parish archives, in particular, professional assistance in saving their old banknotes since 2001.

Thanks to the close cooperation with the Institute for Musicology Weimar-Jena and the Thuringian State Archive Weimar, as well as a framework agreement with the Evangelical Church (EKM), it was possible to take over many high-ranking music collections on permanent loan, to catalog them and thus to make them available for international research . These include u. a. the adjuvant and cantor archives of Neustadt an der Orla , Udestedt , Goldbach , Graefenroda , Molsdorf , Kaltensundheim , Bad Lobenstein , Großfahner / Eschenbergen , Thörey / Ichtershausen , Tabarz , Vogelsberg and Niedertrebra .

The HSA | ThLMA also has the historical sheet music of the German National Theater Weimar (DNT) and the sheet music archive of the General German Music Association (ADMV).

Duration

Valuable estates (including Hermann and Elisabeth Abendroth, Johann Cilenšek , Franz Magnus Böhme , Arno Werner and Günther Kraft ) are properly stored in the modern and fully air-conditioned storage rooms . Choral books from the 18th century are also in stock.

With more than 11,000 entries of scientifically recorded music, the HSA | ThLMA Weimar is now one of the TOP TEN of the largest sheet music collections in Germany in the online database of the international library of sources for music (RISM).

The HSA | ThLMA Weimar, also known as the Thuringian Music Treasury, has been located in the Hochschulzentrum am Horn (formerly Streichhan barracks) in Weimar since 2002. Head of the Thuringian State Music Archive is Dr. Christoph Meixner.

Historical sheet music of the German National Theater Weimar

Since 2002 the holdings of the German National Theater have been properly stored as a deposit in the university archive | Thuringian State Music Archive Weimar under the best possible climatic and fire protection conditions. These include valuable scores, the history of which can often be read from the poor state of preservation. In many cases these have now been restored and saved thanks to private donors or public support funds. The historical music fund of the theater, which has grown since the late 18th century, has been preserved in its entirety. It survived the theater fire of 1825, the eventful and often devastating times of recent German history and today, scientifically cataloged and developed, is available to researchers in their search for still unknown musical treasures, for important evidence of the practice of incidental music by Goethe, Schiller or Shakespeare or after rare (original) performance materials with autograph entries, for example by Franz Liszt or Richard Strauss .
