The collection “Jewish community“ is part of the larger collection “HR 01 Glaubensgemeinschaften“ (“faith communities“) and consists of documents of a large variety of administrative backgrounds, including files from the police, the magistrate and various offices of the city council.
The series “Jewish inhabitants“, consisting of handwritten and typed documents in mostly good condition with partially damaged edges, includes the following files:
nos. 4-13: accommodation of traveling Jews; transport and maintenance of frail or sick Jews; an internal lawsuit within the Jewish congregation; regulations regarding the “selbständige Besetzung der Juden“ (election of representatives of the Jewish congregation); forced announcement of Jewish property and changing of first names during National Socialism (with original birth certificates); applications of Jews for obtaining new ID cards during National Socialism (with original cards); “legitimation” cards of Jews during National Socialism; legal case of a Jewish emigrant from Einbeck to Sao Paulo in 1948; investigations in 1951, following the request of the Jewish Trust Corporation about confiscated cultural property of Jewish citizens by the Nazis. These files date from 1794-1952.
nos. 14-16: statistics about the Jewish population in Einbeck, 1748-1962.
nos. 17-26: registers of births, marriages and deaths in the Jewish congregation of Einbeck, 1808-1873.

nos. 45-51: fees for 'protected' status, 1816-1839.
nos. 52-56: legal cases with and within the Jewish congregation, 1747-1844.

nos. 59-62: purchase of real estate by Jews, 1762-1939.
- Archival history:
- An older archive of the town of Einbeck was destroyed in a fire in 1540. Newer archival material that has been created since then was sorted for the first time between 1864 and 1866. Since 1962 a reorganisation and new cataloguing have been taken place. The collection “Jewish congregation“ is part of the larger collection “HR 01 Glaubensgemeinschaften“ (“faith communities“) and consists of documents of a large variety of administrative backgrounds, including files from the police, the magistrate and various offices of the city council. The collection “Jewish community“ in its current composition must have been created at some time after 1945. Its structure probably reflects in larger parts the administrative order of the institutional provenance. According to the current archivist there is no documentation about the time or method of the collection's creation, as is unfortunately the case with many other collections of the Einbeck municipal archive, too. Therefore the amount of information about administrative changes and other aspects of the collection's history is limited. The current structure and signatures have remained the same since at least the 1960s, when Erich Plümer compiled a register of the collection in 1965. A more detailed register of HR 01 is to be found online in “Arcinsys Niedersachsen“, created by archivist Susanne Gerdes, as the first collection that has been made available online by Einbeck's archive.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The town of Einbeck belonged to the principality of Grubenhagen from 1816 to 1866. Its local Jewish congregation was subordinated to the “Landrabbinat“ (district rabbinate) of Hildesheim. The Grubenhagen principality was part of the kingdom (later province) of Hannover, which was under Prussian rule from 1866. In 1885 the new Einbeck district was founded, which did not join the Northeim district until 1974. The Einbeck district belonged to the “Regierungsbezirk“ (administrative district) of Hildesheim. Since 1974 part of the Northeim district, the district and with it the town of Einbeck were transferred to the administrative district Braunschweig in 1978 and were under its administration till 2004. Since then it has been under direct administration of the Federal State of Lower Saxony of which Einbeck is a part since the former province of Hannover among other smaller territories was reorganised as the State of Lower Saxony in 1946.
