Online Records[edit | edit source]

Jewish records at Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg are fully digitized and no longer available for searching in the archive. The collection (Bestand J386) includes birth, marriage, and death registers, family books, and other lists, mostly from the 19th Century. This collection, part of the Gatermann films, complements the records available at the FamilySearch Library and elsewhere for this area.

  • 18th-20th century Jewish civil status registers 18th-20th century at Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart - images; finding aid with links to images, includes Jewish communities in Württemberg, Baden and Hohenzollern. Click on Strukturansicht to find the alphabetical listing. This finding aid also lists records available at the Central Office for Genealogy in Leipzig, and at the State archive in Freiburg, but digital images are only available for the records kept in Stuttgart (Bestand J386). Microfilm copies of the few records kept in Leipzig are available through the FamilySearch center system. Thus, both sets of records are now accessible to the family historian.
  • 1691-1958 (1810-1870) Registry books 1691-1958 (1810-1870) at Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe - images; includes duplicate Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant registers for northern Baden. Villages are sorted by the court district (Amtsgericht).
  • 1810-1870 Registry books 1810-1870 at Staatsarchiv Freiburg - images; includes Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant registers bound together, year by year, for southern Baden. Villages are sorted by court district (Amtsgericht). A Familysearch indexing project is underway.
