This collection of records from the city of Minden includes index | This collection of records from the city of Minden includes index & images of citizenship rolls, population registers, and census records that enumerated citizens over three centuries, 1574-1902.

To keep a record of their population, household heads were called to assemble at the local civil office, almost yearly, to provide their personal information, which was counted as a basic unit. This listing is called “volkszahlung”, local population census. They also kept a similar register listing all the citizens that moved away to other localities. This register was called “abmeldungen”, relocation list of their citizens or cancellation list from the citizenship roll of that locality. These procedures were not enforced, but head of households were admonished to do so. Therefore, these records may not cover the entire population. | To keep a record of their population, household heads were called to assemble at the local civil office, almost yearly, to provide their personal information, which was counted as a basic unit.
