Administrative actuary
The administrative actuary was a civil servant in Württemberg . He was employed by the regional administration or, after the Second World War, by the district administration. He supported the communities in his district in various administrative matters.
According to the Constitution of 25 September 1819 was in the Kingdom of Württemberg , the local self-government , the far-reaching autonomy for the communities in the design of their affairs and fulfillment of their tasks envisaged. The organization of local self-government was regulated in the administrative edict of March 1, 1822. Each municipality elected a mayor who was referred to as "Stadtschultheiß" in the cities and " Schultheiss " in the villages . In addition, a council clerk was appointed for paperwork and the drafting of documents, as well as a community clerk for the cash and accounting. If the mayor or the community caretaker did not have the knowledge and skills required by the administrative edict and later the community code to carry out their work, the community had to appoint an administrative actuary for this purpose. According to the district ordinance of 1906, the municipalities in Württemberg were divided into spatially self-contained administrative districts. An administrative actuary was appointed for each of these administrative districts.
The administrative actuary must have passed the service examination for the senior administrative service . His task was to give the local mayors and community caretakers expert advice on administrative matters and to arrange business for the community as defined in the community regulations. He performed his duties independently and was fully responsible for the proper conduct of business in the communities within his area of responsibility.
The administrative actuaries retained their duties in the free People's State of Württemberg even after 1918 . In the era of National Socialism with the DC circuit of the countries and authorities there were no administrative actuaries. However, the office was reintroduced after the Second World War both in the Württemberg part of Württemberg-Baden and in Württemberg-Hohenzollern . Only with the municipal, district and administrative reform in 1973 was the office in Baden-Württemberg abolished.
Outside of Württemberg, the official designation “actuary” was in use in several states of the German Confederation and the German Empire in the 19th century .
