Oberösterreichisches Landesarchiv

Acquisition

The Gauselbstverwaltung collection was transferred after the war to the Oberösterreichisches Landesarchiv.The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection from the Oberösterreichisches Landesarchiv (Archives of Upper Austria) via the United States Holocaust Museum International Archives Project in January 2010.

Scope and Content

Contains only those records of the district self administration that were continued in the financial division after 1945. The records pertain mostly to the confiscation of Upper Austrian cloisters and monasteries, properties owned by the Schwarzenberg family, as well as other "Aryanization" or expropriation cases. The administration of the real properties is partly documented until the 1950s. The collection also contains some unrelated earlier and later records dealing with agricultural activities as well as the Oberösterreichische Kraftwerke.
