| === Background information to the Landeskirchliches Archiv Hanover (Evangelical Church Archive) ===
| |
|
| |
| In October 1943 a heavy bombing destroyed the Landeskirchenamt (church archive). Two thirds of the archival materials burnt, one third of all documents had been evacuated at this point and was saved. According to common consent all materials of interest for research were destroyed, therefore, hesitation to give archival records to a centralized location abounded. Records remained on site for the time being. Only in 1957 with the establishment of the new Archive in Rote Reihe in Hanover (address) the last items from the evacuated documents were returned. Great emphasis was put on organizing the archival materials from the parishes.
| |
|
| |
| Today the Landeskirchliche Archiv continues to receive documents from parishes. The reason for this is the closure of churches due to the drop in church membership. The homes of parish priests have to be disposed of and the archival materials safely guarded. Thus, the Landeskirchenarchiv becomes the record keeper. Before research is pursued, the family historian is well advised to check what is available at the archive. Compare also the listings of filmed churchbooks at
