The Reichskammergericht (1495–1806) was, in addition to and in competition with the Reichshofrat (1498/1527–1806), one of the two highest dishes in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. The process files were managed by the German Confederation in Wetzlar and around the middle of the 19. After the separation criteria developed at the time were distributed to the German states. In 1853, the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg and Gotha Reichskammergerichtsakten, which remained in Gotha for the smaller part, also received a majority vote in Coburg. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday 26th. September 2024, at 17.00, the archive inventory “Staatsarchiv Coburg. Reichskammergericht (Bayerische Archivinventare 60)” to present to the public in the state archive Coburg, Herrgasse 11 in 96450 Coburg. You are invited to the book presentation! The tradition of the Reich Chamber Court over 77,000 files, distributed in 48 archives in Germany and abroad, is one of the most extensive and important archival sources of early modern times. In particular, the evidence submitted in the course of the process management provides clear insights into the life world of previous centuries. Because the court records are of high value for legal and Reich history, but also for national, economic and social history, the German Research Foundation started the long-term project “Inventory of the files of the Reich Chamber Court” at the end of the 1970s: Essentially, the con

Around 200 archives of Bavarian Jewish communities and rabinates have been held in the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People (CAHJP) held in Jerusalem. These documents are important and widely used sources for all historical research on Jewish history in Bavaria and Germany. The accessibility of stocks via the Internet has therefore long been an urgent wish for local and regional research. On the initiative of the commissioner of the Bavarian State Government for Jewish life and against anti-Semitism, for remembrance work and historical heritage and with generous financial support by the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and Art, these documents have been digitized with the CAHJP since 2023 in a cooperation project of the Bavarian State Archives. The aim is to open a free online access to all documents about the finder database of the Bavarian State Archives. With 30 digitized municipal archives and more than 100,000 digital images, an important milestone is achieved in this major project running until 2028. Most of the 19th Centuries already offer fascinating insights into the diverse history of Judaism in Franken, Schwaben and the Upper Palatinate. The scope of the individual municipal archives is very different. Many stocks consist of only a few files, others of 200, some sometimes even more than 500 archives. The Jewish community of Fürth, one of the oldest and most important Bavarians, forms the most extensive stock with over 1,000 files. Many othe
