Stadtarchiv Wuppertal (Archivtektonik) >> I. Städtisches Schriftgut >> Vor 1929
Unterlagen Vohwinkels bis zur Gründung Wuppertals 1929 und teilweise darüber hinaus.
Form und Inhalt: Der Altaktenbestand wurde bis in die 1970er Jahre geführt und ist nach dem Pertinenzprinzip (thematisch) geordnet. Bei der Verzeichnung wurden lediglich die Aktentitel abgeschrieben, weshalb sie teilweise sehr allgemein und auch fehlerhaft sein können und in der Wortwahl oft veraltet sind. Der Altaktenbestand bildete früher den kompletten Bestand des Archivs, unabhängig davon, ob es sich um Akten oder Sammlungsgut wie Zeitschriften, Bücher, Prospekte oder Zeitungsausschnitte handelte. Dies versuchte man zwar nach und nach zu bereinigen, es befinden sich aber immer noch große Mengen Unterlagen in diesem Bestand, die nicht städtischen Ursprungs sind.Im Bestand A4 Vohwinkel sind ebenfalls die Akten von Schöller enthalten.
The Bundeszentralkartei (BZK) is the central register of the federal government and federal states for completed compensation proceedings. When a claim is entered into the BZK, a number is assigned for unique identification. This BZK number refers to a compensation claim, not to a person. If a person has made several claims (e.g. for themselves and for relatives), each claim generally has its own BZK number. Often, the file number of the respective compensation authority is used as the BZK number.
This number is important for making an inquiry to the relevant archive.
Delict according to Nazi judicial system
Conduct that was first criminalized under National Socialism (e.g. the Treachery Act, ‘Judenbegünstigung’) or which the Nazi judiciary prosecuted more severely (e.g. high treason).
Reason for persecution
The reasons provided here are based on the wording in the reasons for persecution stated in the sources.
Role in the proceeding
‘Verfolgt’ refers to a person or organization that was persecuted under National Socialism. They could file a claim for compensation or restitution as part of the Wiedergutmachung policy. If the application was submitted by another person or organization than the persecutee (for example, their son or daughter), this other person or organization is designated as ‘antragstellend’ and their relationship to the persecutee is noted, if known. In the sources, the persecutee is sometimes referred to as ‘Geschädigter’ (aggrieved party) and the applicant as ‘Anspruchsberechtigter’(claimant).
