Scope and content:: This collection consists of documents related to a wide variety of municipal issues which appear not to have fitted into record groups established by the office of the magistrate. As such, the documents touch on nearly all aspects of life in the city and seat of Sibiu, ranging from municipal and district (Stuhl) elections, reorganisation of civic services, matters pertaining to guilds and permits for construction of civic, clerical and private buildings. Relating to the Jewish history of the city are demographic charts and ordinances of the magistrate from the 1830s pertaining to the settlement of Jews in the Sibiu district.
