Collection

Scope and content:: The collection contains information about employees of the city administration who served with the Wehrmacht in 1943; reports about personnel changes in the individual departments, including: letters from the front from officials (1941-1945) with personnel information; lists of names of policemen involved in the deportation of Hungarian Jews in 1944 in SS Regiment 12.

Archival history:: Initially the municipal administrative and enforcement police were placed under the control of the German Reich in 1937, whereby the administrative tasks were carried out by way of administrative order under the responsibility of the city of Oldenburg. Shortly after the end of the war in 1945, the military government ordered the police enforcement to become a matter for the federal districts. The districts and unincorporated cities carried out "administrative police-related" tasks within the framework of the transferred sphere of activity with the then established law enforcement offices in accordance with the provisions of the Lower Saxony Law on Security and Order (SOG).
