Archive of the Philipps University of Marburg
The archive of the Philipps University of Marburg is responsible for the preservation, indexing and provision of the university's historical records . For 115 years it was a deposit in the Hessian State Archive in Marburg and was also managed by that person. Since March 1, 2006, these tasks have been the responsibility of the university. However, the premises are still housed in the Marburg State Archives .
history
The extensive holdings of the university archive result primarily from the long history of the Marburg University, founded in 1527 by Landgrave Philipp the Magnanimous , and its prehistory. With the deposit agreement of March 10, 1890, the Marburg State Archives mainly took over their holdings on older history, including documents of secularized monastery properties for the maintenance of the university since the 14th century. The basis of the over 500 pieces of document collection dates from the 14th century. This includes, for example, the University of privilege of Charles V.
In the 16th century, a broader document transmission began and from then on historically significant files, documents and similar documents were continuously stored.
The stocks survived the Second World War without losses and have been growing ever since. Until the 1970s, permission had to be obtained from the university for use. For the present, the rules for public archives set out in the Hessian Archives Act apply.

It is a relatively extensive and historically valuable inventory that has currently grown to over 2000 linear meters of shelf. The most extensive holdings are the accounts of the Rector and Senate holdings, the holdings of the Board of Trustees and Administrative Director and a mixed inventory of the central administration from the earlier period. They are also joined by around 500 certificates.
A more detailed tradition of varying density about the individual faculties begins at the end of the 19th century. The gaps in the tradition result less from wars and catastrophes than from the fact that, due to a lack of own personnel, only those documents were archived that were offered for archiving by the university. Doctoral files, for example, have only been kept relatively systematically by the faculties since the end of the 19th century, and have therefore also reached the university archives. Professors' bequests are not collected by the university archive , but by the university library; the Marburg State Archive only contains exceptional cases . Attached to the university archive , however, are files of student connections and the tradition of the Marburg University Association, and the archive also contains lecture and personnel directories, copies of the university newspaper, the university journal and the Alma Mater Philippina . Most of the inquiries made to the archive concern information about former students. These can usually be found in the register. From the summer semester of 1917 onwards, the courses taken can also be traced here using the receipt sheets for billing.
