Archival history
-
The Geheime Räte: innere Landesverwaltung fonds started to be formed in 1705 when the principality of Celle was united with Calenberg. The collection chronologically connects to the corresponding files Cal. Br. 23 (1488-1705), while the relevant Celle matters are distributed over a whole series of files of the Celle Archive (Celle Br. 46 to 70). However, the key year 1705 is not rigorously maintained – numerous subject areas date from the 17th and even the 16th century. The majority of the files are from the 18th century and the collection mostly ends with the occupation period of 1803. Only a few documents are available from the following decades up to 1823, the last year of the collection Hann. 93. The majority of the administration matters were then transferred to the administrative regions (Landdrosteien).
In 1950 — when the State Archives undertook the reorganisation of the fonds of the Landdrosteien and of other government institutions and restored their finding aids — it is accepted that the Landdrosteien fonds contained numerous files from the Geheime Räte (Privy Councils), which did not become an organic part of the Landdrosteien records and some were not even listed. These files are mostly in Hann. 93.. The volume of this collection has almost tripled as a result of the incorporation of these files.
