During the Nazi Era, Jewish communities in Baden, Hohenzollern, and Wuerttemberg were required to give up their records to government authorities. This included births, marriages, deaths, circumcision records, cemetery registers, and membership lists. The collected material was microfilmed in 1943-1945 by the Gaterman Brothers Company from Duisburg in different sets. The original records are now presumed lost, but the films survived the War and eventually ended up in different archives. The Central Office for Genealogy in Leipzig has one set of films, and the Landesarchiv Baden-Wuerttemberg in Stuttgart has a different set. | During the Nazi Era, Jewish communities in Baden, Hohenzollern, and Wuerttemberg were required to give up their records to government authorities.

In March 2009 the Landesarchiv in Stuttgart made digital copies of its Jewish records set available on the Interrnet, along with an alphabetical list of Jewish records extant for localities in Baden, Wuerttemberg, and Hohenzollern. This inventory also lists those records available at the Central Office for Genealogy in Leipzig, but digital images are only available for the records kept in Stuttgart. Microfilm copies of the records kept in Leipzig are available through the LDS Family History center system. Thus, both sets of records are now easily accessible to the family historian. | In March 2009 the Landesarchiv in Stuttgart made digital copies of its Jewish records set available on the Interrnet, along with an alphabetical list of Jewish records extant for localities in Baden, Wuerttemberg, and Hohenzollern.
