Acquisition
The material was sorted during arrangement of the fonds of the Oberlandesgericht (Supreme Regional Court) and processed by a team of workers from the State Archives in 1960. An inventory was created in 1964 for the personal files of higher-ranking employees. A catalogue of files of the Sondergericht (Special Court) was processed in 1994, although only from the material of the Oberlandesgericht (Supreme Regional Court), where judgements and indictments were preserved. The fonds was subject to internal appraisal in 1997 and re-inventoried.
