- Scope and content:
- This collection comprises minutes of the meeting of the council of the city of Parchim in 24 individual files. The collection has not been completely catalogued and references to questions concerning the Jewish inhabitants of Parchim are possible. Signatures: 969a to 982a; 1038a; 1636a to 1641a.
- Archival history:
- The Council Archives were established around 1840 and the files were reorganised in the mid-1930s. In 1945 some of the files were destroyed. The archive preserves the records of the municipality of the city, the city administration, the citizens' committee (until 1945), the city council of Parchim, the city councillors, as well as the council meetings (since 1945). In addition, there are state parliament files, land registers, maps, plans, bequests, poster and photo collections as well as a thematic document collection. Some of the land registers were newly created after 1945 and old land registers were destroyed. Where available, building and house records comprise a complementary source (see Richard Levy, Sig. 1460a). NB: The old signatures (marked with an "a") still apply, since the new ones are not completely integrated yet.
