Requirements for starting a career
A legal clerkship/traineeship in archives and a doctorate are increasingly becoming common entry criteria. (Not mandatory, but recommended)

In corporate archives or media archives, entry requirements can vary greatly. Explicit knowledge of the subject area is almost always a prerequisite.
Prior knowledge of current software and research tools in practical use is essential.

There is a special training path via the Marburg School of Archives.

In addition to the trained archivist for the higher civil service, there are jobs in organizations, institutions and companies that cover parts of the archivist's area of responsibility. Librarianship and documentation are also very closely related.
