Does anyone know if Hesse-Darmstadt issued an official "register" as most monarchies did in the N period?

That is , something that would list officers and military officials, etc.

According to Wikiwakipedia, the "Großherzoglich Hessisches Regierungsblatt" began in 1819 [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fherzoglich_Hessisches_Regierungsblatt].

But was there a similar publication earlier? What was it called? (And hope it is on-line!).

Thanks in advance.
