- Archival history:
-
The origins of the Rostock Council Archive date back to the year 1265, but it was not until 1884 that a modern city archive was created. A new building was built in 1907. Between 1936 and 1953 the city archive was subordinate to the directorate of the city museum; since 1996 the institution has been an office of the city administration of Rostock. Since 1997 the holdings have been listed in a database.
The administrative archive of the city of Rostock was affiliated to the City archive in 1969; on 1 January 2009 the civil register of the registry office Rostock was transferred to the archive. This inventory is a complementary source.
