Background and History of Die Ahnenstammkartei

The Deutsche Zentralstelle für Genealogie at Leipzig, with an origin dating back to 1904, was designated by the German government as the lead archive for genealogy in all of united Germany after the wall came down in 1991. But long before the iron curtain went up or came down, this major archive was well known throughout Germany for its extensive genealogy holdings.
