- Archival history:
- The older part of the collection, which essentially covers the period up to 1945 (Dep 3 b), consists of a number of sub-collections that overlap in terms of origin and subject matter. The formation of the subdivision Dep 3 b V of the historical archive of the city of Osnabrück goes back to the efforts to order the municipal archives that Johann Carl Bertram Stüve undertook in the 1820s. The collection documents urban guild and police matters in a broader sense. The records date back to the 16th century and end essentially in the 1920s. The subsequent files have not been preserved because the current city registry was almost completely destroyed by air raids during Second World War.
