Administrative history

After the conquest of most of Silesia by Prussia in 1741, the royal cabinet order of November 25, 1741 introduced the Prussian administrative structures in Lower Silesia . This included the establishment of two war and domain chambers in Breslau and Glogau as well as their subdivision into districts and the appointment of district administrators on January 1, 1742.

In the principality of Schweidnitz , one of the Silesian sub-principalities, the four Prussian districts Bolkenhain-Landeshut, Reichenbach , Schweidnitz and Striegau were formed from old Silesian soft images . Johann Friedrich von Seidlitz was appointed as the first district administrator in the Striegau district. The Striegau district was under the Wroclaw War and Domain Chamber until it was assigned to the Reichenbach administrative district of the province of Silesia in the course of the Stein-Hardenberg reforms in 1815 .

In the context of border regulations between the administrative districts of Reichenbach and Liegnitz , the village of Poselwitz moved from the Striegau district to the Liegnitz district in 1817, and the villages of Panzkau and Simsdorf from the Liegnitz district to the Striegau district in 1818. On the occasion of the district reform of January 1, 1818 in the district of Breslau, the district of Striegau received the villages of Bockau, Ebersdorf and Pitschen from the district of Neumarkt and in return gave the villages of Buchwald, Diezdorf, Michelsdorf, Nieder and Ober Dambritsch, Nieder and Ober Moys and Obsendorf to the From Neumarkt district. After the dissolution of the Reichenbach administrative district, the Striegau district was assigned to the Breslau administrative district on May 1, 1820 .

Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and from January 1, 1871 to the German Empire . On November 8, 1919, the province of Silesia was dissolved and the new province of Lower Silesia was formed from the administrative districts of Breslau and Liegnitz . On September 30, 1929, all manor districts in the Striegau district were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia .

On October 1, 1932, the Striegau district was dissolved; The reason were austerity measures as a result of the global economic crisis . The rural communities Beckern, Bertholdsdorf, Bockau, Damsdorf, Diesdorf, Dromsdorf-Lohnig, Ebersdorf, Eisendorf, Förstchen, Gäbersdorf , Guckelhausen, Hulm, Körnitz, Kuhnern, Lederose, Lüssen , Metschkau, Neuhof, Ossig, Panzkau, Pfaffendorf, Pitschen, Pläswitz, Sasterhausen, Simsdorf, Tschinschwitz and Zuckelnick came to the Neumarkt district , while the city of Striegau and all other communities came to the Schweidnitz district .
