What would a prisoner record be called in German?

I am trying to figure out whether prisoner records from Festung Rendsburg in 1803 are extant or not. I can understand written German but it is difficult to search for the records when I do not know what they are called.

I just learned from @legalgenealogist that there is a new tool showing Archion's holdings on a map. It seems to be a great tool. Maybe some of you can use it for your German research.

A question about German marriage records:
Would information about a couple's divorce in 1958 be added to their 1944 marriage record in the Heiratsregister from Standesamt Bonn?
I'm reading an article where the marriage record is cited as the source of the divorce information.

@genchat @Flominator @[email protected] but I have to admit it is not my most favorite channel.. #GenChatDE and #AFStunde are the only reasons I show up here. so the community has been split up a lot. @GenChatDE
@Flominator @dieweltenverbinden @[email protected] Oh, I didn't know that you were behind #GenChatDE now!
@genchat Actually I was just the one, who dragged #GenChatDe over here. Originally it was created by @dieweltenverbinden. The activity decreased a lot meanwhile, compared to the golden days on Twitter, but I refuse to go back. Maybe it meanwhile also was replaced by the "constant" interaction with others via Discord and here as opposed to only sharing your stuff once per week. At least that's how I feel about it sometimes. #GenChatDe
