The following excerpt from a letter directed to the Stadtarchiv Leipzig regarding Civil Registration has the following information:

With the reform of the Personenstandsrecht (civil registration) in February 2007 the following rules apply regarding access to records from the civil registration office: marriage records available after 80 years, births records after 110 years and deaths after 30 years from the date of occurrance. In other words, since 1. July 2009 issuing civil registration documents effects the following time frames: Births from 1876 to 1898, marriages from 1876 to 1928 and deaths from 1876 to 1978. Requests for documents not covered under these time frames will either not be processed by the Standesamt (civil registration office) or will be forwarded to the city archive.

Requests to the city archive will be charged as follows:

For 30 minutes of research = 20.00 EUROS

3.00 EUROS for a copy + 1.00 EURO for reproduction
