Among other things, this collection includes an application from the Swiss consulate to the Office for Property Control in Frankfurt concerning the return of a jewellery shop to its Jewish owners by the Swiss Alfons Krucker in 1947. Another file deals with German Jewish legislation and antisemitic riots between 1935 and 1941. From 1938 there is another file dealing with the tax treatment of foreign Jews in Germany. From the time of the November Pogrom in 1938, there are a number of documents reporting on riots in the consular district of Frankfurt, but also near Cologne. The holdings also include a list from 1938 of the assets of Jews of Swiss nationality in the Frankfurt consular district. In addition, the collection also contains a series of files on the identification of Jews under National Socialist power from 1941.

- Archival history:
- The representations‘s documents were probably transferred to the Federal Archive in the 1950s.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Swiss Federal Archive in Bern has the statutory task of safeguarding, indexing, making available and evaluating archival documents of the Swiss Federal Assembly, the Federal Council, the Federal Administration and Swiss representations abroad. In accordance with the Federal Law on Archiving, it thus contributes to legal certainty, continuous and rational administrative management and makes government action comprehensible. The oldest holdings of the archive go back to the Central Archive of the Helvetic Republic, which was founded on 18 December 1798.
