The German Diary Archive, Personal document archive and museum at Old Town Hall in Emmendingen, Germany.

The German Diary Archive contains over 27,000 personal documents from 6,000 authors, including diaries, letters, and memoirs dating from the 18th century.

Founded in 1998 by Frauke von Troschke, the institution houses the Württembergischer Schreibkalender from 1760, written by military chaplain Gottlieb Christoph Bohnenberger.

The archive preserves everyday experiences through personal writings, offering researchers and visitors insights into German social history across different time periods.

Visitors can access the archive Tuesday through Friday with specific morning hours, while afternoon visits are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

A team of 30 specialized volunteers works across Germany to transcribe old German script documents written in Kurrent style until the 1940s.
