Stadtarchiv Hagen
The history of the Municipal Archive of Hagen begins in the 18th century.
Because of the restructuring of the local government in 1929 the Archive expanded. The archives of the added municipalities like Haspe were now part of the Archive of Hagen. In the following years the Archive consistently grew bigger. 1975 the archive of Hohenlimburg and others were added.
Concerning the amount of possessions and collections within the Municipal Archive of Hagen today, the Archive is one of the biggest municipal archives in Northrhine-Westpahlia.
In 2018 the Archive moved into a more modern and user-friendly building and is now housed in the “Archivetower” on the WBH-Campus.

Our holdings
The holdings of the archive refer to diverse groups of documents that have been combined into a unit according to logically comprehensible aspects such as their origin, their context of origin and their factual content according to formal characteristics. These include, for example, the files of city and district administrations, but also collections of photographs and newspaper clippings. Almost all documents in an archive are assigned to collections that structure the archive. The holdings of the archive are available online in this portal and can be researched
