general description: Hamburg State Archives has archival materials on the history of the city and state (Bundesland) of Hamburg. Its collections include administrative documents, court records, military records, collections of private institutions and religious community records through the centuries. It contains as well Holocaust restitution- and compensation-related materials: Best. 213-12 Staatsanwaltschaft Landgericht - Nationalsozialistische Gewaltverbrechen (https://recherche.staatsarchiv.hamburg.de/ScopeQuery5.2/detail.aspx?id=833), Best. 213-13 Landgericht Hamburg–Wiedergutmachung (https://recherche.staatsarchiv.hamburg.de/ScopeQuery5.2/detail.aspx?id=891315), Best. 314-15 Oberfinanzpräsident (Devisenstelle und Vermögensverwertungsstelle) (https://recherche.staatsarchiv.hamburg.de/ScopeQuery5.2/detail.aspx?id=1146), Best. 351-11 Amt für Wiedergutmachung (https://recherche.staatsarchiv.hamburg.de/ScopeQuery5.2/detail.aspx?id=1466), Best. 522-1 Jüdische Gemeinde (https://recherche.staatsarchiv.hamburg.de/ScopeQuery5.2/detail.aspx?id=3716). Much more can be found in the online database: https://recherche.staatsarchiv.hamburg.de. The access to some of the records might be restricted due to the retention periods (Schutzfristen) of the Hamburg Archivs Law (Hamburgisches Archivgesetz).
buildings: The State Archives have been at their current location since 1997. The building, designed by architect Jan Störmer, is divided into two building complexes. Next to a modern administration building with reading rooms and a public area is a blue, windowless storage block. A skilful passive air conditioning system, which dispenses with costly and environmentally harmful technical aids, ensures that the archive material is kept in optimum conditions for its long-term storage.
