- Scope and content:
- This collection contains a list of Eastern Jews who moved to Lüneburg between 1914 and 1920; proof of “elimination of Jews from German economic life”, 1933-1942; regulations regarding the treatment of "gypsies," Jews, foreigners and other minority groups.
- Archival history:
- The files were found in the lower Gewandhaus [cloth traders' hall] of the town hall in October 1988. They were catalogues between 14 October 1988 and 9 March 1989. At that time, only a list of files of the Lüneburg police headquarters, established in 1897 and supplemented until approx. 1933, served as a verification of ownership, which archive director Dr. Winter had taken over from the Ordnungsamt [public order office] in 1951 (then AR Rep. 10II No. 0, then OPB IC11). Only later, a file index was created in 1931, which also contains post-war sorting notes as a second copy for the main registry at that time, found and filed under OPB IC11 vol. 2. Thanks to this record the whereabouts of the files missing in the collection today could be clarified more easily.
