Geschichte des Bestandsbildners: Das Amtsgericht Westerstede wurde 1858 für das gleichnamige Amt mit seinen 16.825 Einwohnern eingerichtet. Mit 465 qkm gehörte es auch zu den flächengrößten des Herzogtums. An seinem Zuständigkeitsbereich änderte sich 1879 und 1933 wenig. 1933 bestand sein Sprengel aus den Gemeinden Westerstede, Zwischenahn, Edewecht und Apen mit nunmehr 32.000 Bewohnern. 1983 wurde der Amtsgerichtsbezirk dann nach Westen ausgedehnt und umfasst jetzt auch die Gemeinden Wiefelstede und Rastede mit über 115.000 Einwohnern.
Bestandsgeschichte: Die Beurkundungen ab 1814 reichen noch in die Zeit des Landgerichts in Neuenburg zurück. Die bisher letzte Aktenabgabe erfolgte 2018.

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).
