- Archival history:
- The records in this collection came to the archive as part of the regular document transfer process.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The town of Anklam had been a constant object of struggle in the conflicts between Sweden and Prussia. The Treaty of Westphalia declared Anklam a Swedish garrison town. In the early 18th century the town was plundered and burned various times. The 1720 Peace Treaty of Stockholm divided the town into a Prussian and a Swedish part. The whole of Anklam became part of Prussia in 1815. Jews were allowed to trade in the town, but were not allowed to settle there before the mid-19th century.
- System of arrangement:
- The material in each file is arranged chronologically, lists (e.g. of congregation members) are arranged aphabetically.
