Organisational Chart and Classification Plan
The organisational chart or organigram is a schematic presentation of the structure of the Federal Archives with its various departments and the “Foundation Archives of the Parties and Mass Organisations of the GDR” in the Federal Archives. The chart also contains simplified information on the tasks and management of the organisational units.
The classification plan of the Federal Archives is available for download on this page. The classification plan is a compilation of the hierarchically-organised tasks of an authority that serves as a framework for the registration of documents and the creation of files.
You can download the current organizational chart and classification plan from our German website.
