For the archives: Very important and complete documentation of private

(and public) properties throughout the whole country from the18th cent.

until the present day

For public users: Inestimable value for the reconstruction and

developments of family properties

For scholars: Records serve multiple questions – agrarian and urban

history of settlements; economic and social structure of individual villages

towns, cities; historical geography; long-term research e.g. on the

transition from early modern society to the age of industrialisation
