22.01.2020: "Grund und Boden – highly estimated. The floor estimate in the Oberpfalz – from analog to digital" - exhibition at the Staatsarchiv Amberg

Wednesday, 22. January 2020, the small exhibition “Grund und Boden – was highly appreciated in the Amberg State Archive. The soil estimate in the Oberpfalz – from analog to digital” opens. The exhibition is a cooperation project of the Amberg State Archives with the Office for Digitization, Broadband and Survey Amberg and the Weiden Finance Office.

What is a field or a meadow worth? What's the ground? How do climate and water conditions shape? Answers to these questions arise from the soil estimate. The soil estimate is an inventory of agricultural soils according to the nature of their use and their natural viability. It is used to tax agricultural assets, but it is also important as a basis for determining value in land transport and rural development, land protection and land information systems.

The exhibition with about 60 exhibits traces the history of soil estimation from its beginnings in the 1930s to the present and presents its organization and execution yesterday and today. Estimation cards and estimates books, which have only recently been submitted to the Amberg State Archive, documents, practical instructions, photos, technical equipment and soil samples, are shown.

A fair distribution of the loads according to ownership and economic power has always been a reason for the tax on land and land. In addition, the exhibition therefore illustrates the prehistory: possessions and tax books from the Middle Ages and early modern times as well as cataster documents from the 19th century. Centuries give an insight into the tax assessment before the soil estimate. Hand-drawn cards from the 17th and 18th Century conveys an optical impression of landscapes in pre-industrial time. In addition to the documentation of the estimation results on paper, the modern digital mode of operation of the soil estimate is explained and the processing of the geodata in ALKIS as well as its evaluation possibilities via the Geoportal Bayern is demonstrated. This means that the floor estimate is not only placed in the larger frames of the history of the tax system, but also a sheet is beaten by the analogue to the digital geodata management.

The implementation of the soil estimate is the task of the financial authorities which collect the results in estimation cards and estimation books and forward them to the survey management. This is responsible for the continuation of the digital data stock in ALKIS (Automatized Property Cataster Information System) and for the distribution of the data.

The exhibition is from 22. January 2020 to 28 February 2020 in the State Archive Amberg, Archivstraße 3, 92224 Amberg (Input Weißenburger Straße) to see.

Opening hours: Monday and Thursday 8:00 to 16:00, Tuesday and Wednesday 8:00 to 18:00, Friday 8:00 to 13:30 (Sa, So closed, Carnival Serviceag 25.2. open only until 12:00)

24.09.2020: "Fabrikkinderarbeit in Bayern im 19. Jahrhundert" - Lehrausstellung im Bayerischer Hauptstaatsarchiv

On the occasion of World Children's Day will be on Tuesday, 24. September 2019, the small exhibition "Fabrikkinderarbeit in Bayern" in the Bavarian Main State Archive in 19th Century’ open. The exhibition was opened in the course of training in the preparation service 2017/2020 for the entry into the 3rd Education and Science, specialized in archives, at the University of Applied Sciences in Bavaria. Employment of under 14-year-olds in Bavaria totaled 19. A century of reality, such as crafts and services, but above all in agriculture. Since the beginning of industrialization, children have also been employed as cheap workers in factories, including bricks. The exhibition highlights this chapter of Bavarian economic and social history among the questions: What sources give information about factory child labour in Bavaria? How high was the number of children employed in Bavarian factories? In which regions, cities and industries were children used in factories? What were typical activities, how were working hours and working conditions? What were health consequences of factory child labour? How did you try to arrange work and schooling? What reward did children receive for their work? How did the state and politics and various social groups such as parents, employers, doctors, educators and churches judge the factory work of children? The exhibits are exhibited chronologically – the first section extends from the 1830s, when the first factories were created in Bavaria, until the foundation of the German Reich, and the second section focuses on the time after the foundation of the Reich. This division corresponds to legal competence: Until 1870, the Kingdom of Bavaria was able to regulate child labour independently on its territory, after which laws and regulations of the German Reich were applied in Bavaria. In principle, the employment of children in factories was 19. century the first and only form of child labour, which was gradually regulated and restricted by the state. This did not mean a ban. In 1903, the German Reichstag passed a general Children's Protection Act, of which agricultural child labour was excluded. In general, child labour in the Federal Republic of Germany was prohibited only by the Youth Employment Protection Act of 1960. The exhibition is from 24 September to 11 November 2019 (extension) in the main building of the Bavarian Main State Archive (Treppenhaus, 1st OG), Schönfeldstraße 5, 80539 Munich. Opening hours: Monday to Thursday 8.30 – 18.00 hrs., Friday 8.30 – 13.30 hrs. (closed on weekends and legal holidays) Free admission. Guided tours for groups can be agreed under (089) 28638-2575.

21.04.2022: Olympic posters from the poster collection of the Bavarian Main State Archive available online

Itotal of 90 posters for Olympic Games from 1964 to 1972 are over finder database of the Bavarian State Archives available online. These include four recently acquired event packages of the ecclesiastical services among the Olympic summer games in Munich. The concept of “Heitere Spiele” included a separate, modern and colored picture language. This idea followed – besides the signs of the sports facilities – public work and advertising material. Especially the posters still provide a good insight into the concept at that time. There are various series at the Olympic posters: posters to Olympic individual disciplines, art posters of renowned artists and advertising posters for the cultural and ecclesiastical accompanying program. For example, the great orchestra and ballet companies of the world appeared during the games in Munich. These official poster series were created on behalf of the International Olympic Committee as organisers, which also manages the rights of use. A few additional posters refer to other accompanying events such as an exhibition by the Bavarian National Museum. The poster collection of the Bavarian Main State Archive contains over 50,000 posters. In addition to cultural and advertising posters, political posters dominate with a focus on the first half of the 20. Century. You can find the poster collection HIER>>.

14.10.2019: Establishing an emergency network of Bamberger Archives, Libraries and Museums

Director-General of the State Archives, Dr. Margit Ksoll-Marcon, Mayor of the City of Bamberg, Mr Andreas Starke, General Vicar of the Archdiocese of Bamberg, Monsignore Georg Kestel, President of the Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg, Prof. Dr. habil. Godehard Ruppert, and the head of the Bamberg State Library, Ms. Library Director Prof. Dr. Bettina Wagner, signed on 14. October 2019 in the City Archive Bamberg the agreement for mutual support of Bamberger Archives, Libraries and Museums in emergencies (“Notfallverbund Bamberg”). The agreement includes: joint trainings and exercises, the preparation and exchange of emergency plans, and the permanent exchange of those responsible with each other and with external partners such as the fire department and the technical aid. For the hopefully never-ending emergency, the institutions provide mutual support to bundle resources and to ensure faster and more effective recovery and initial supply of the affected archives, books and exhibits. For the institutions involved, the protection of the cultural goods they hold against fire, water, external violence or other unpredictable events is one of the most important tasks. The past has shown that the staff of the individual institutions are often overwhelmed without external assistance, which has shown impressively large disasters such as the Elbhochwasser 2002, the fire in the Weimar Anna-Amalia-Bibliothek 2004 or the collapse of the historical archive of the city of Cologne 2009. The Bamberg emergency association, established by the signing of this agreement, expressly invites the representatives of other cultural institutions in the Bamberg city area to cooperate in the future.

24.2.-26.5.2023: 1623. Bavaria will be the princess

On Thursday 23rd February 2023, was the small exhibition “1623” in the Bavarian Main State Archive. Bavaria is opening up Kurfürstentum. The award of the Kurwürde to Herzog Maximilian I. von Bayern 400 years ago, on 25. February 1623, was the result of difficult negotiations and a compromise: The Bavarian Duke was only for his person, not for his whole house. In a secret supplementary agreement, Emperor Ferdinand II confirmed the inheritance of the Bavarian Wittelsbacher. The origins of the Bavarian pursuit after this ranking date back to the late middle age. In the house contract of Pavia, in 1329 between the Bavarian and the Celtic line of the Wittelsbacher, an alternating exercise of the Kurwürde had been agreed; the Golden Bull of 1356 tied the Kurwürde to the Celtic territory. On 8 October 1619, Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria and Emperor Ferdinand II concluded the Munich Treaty. A subsidiary agreement to this agreement marks the beginning of the efforts of Maximilians to transfer the Palatinate Kurwürde to Bavaria. After Friedrichs V's battle from the Palatinate 1621, a secret stretching was first carried out, and in 1623 the transfer of the Kurwürde to life time was finally carried out. Only the Westphalian peace in 1648, which ended the Thirty Years War, confirmed the Kurwürde for Bavaria. The small exhibition explains the most important stages of the ascent of Bavaria to the Kurfürstentum and the taught discussions that were held in the courts involved. The exhibition will be seen in other state archives during the course of 2023 and was therefore planned as a flexible presentation on roll-ups. At the opening the document of 25th February 1623 in original. A small catalogue appears on the exhibition: 1623. Bavaria will be the princess. An exhibition of the Bavarian Main State Archives.
