- Scope and content:
- The documents of the NSDAP on the Gau and local level were almost completely destroyed. The collection brings together individual pieces from private ownership; these include the personal papers of the Gaukulturwart (Gau culture officer) Köllmann from Oldenburg. The large field post letter collection of the NSDAP local group Kreyenbrück was passed down by chance from the estate of Georg Nemeyer. The collection contains some printed matter such as "The situation in the area of the Department II" (of the Security Service): Freemasonry, Jews, "political churches," Protestant church (undated). The collection also includes some individual files of the Gau leadership and Gau inspection Weser-Ems, the Security Service, the Gau economic chamber, the Nazi Teachers' Association and the German Labour Front.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- In the Free State of Oldenburg, the first members of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) were recruited from the Deutsch-Völkischer Schutz- und Trutzbund, as well as from other “völkisch” organisations. As early as Easter 1921, an association called "Men for Hitler" was formed in the state capital of Oldenburg. The first bases were established in Butjadingen (Burhave) and Friesland (Varel) as well as in the predominantly agricultural Ammerland and east of the state capital in the Hude/Ganderkesee area. The city and the Protestant north became early strongholds of the NSDAP; the city also received special enhancement as the Gaustadt (Gau city) of the Weser-Ems district, which also included Bremen and the Prussian government districts of Osnabrück and Aurich.
