The Gmünd district is an administrative district of the Province of Lower Austria .

history

The district was formed in 1899 from the former district of Weitra, which had previously been added to the district of Zwettl , and the former districts of Schrems and Litschau , which had previously been added to the district of Waidhofen an der Thaya . The city of Gmünd itself was under the administrative district of Schrems until 1867 and was then assigned to the district of Waidhofen an der Thaya.

In 1920, the district was reduced to include the peripheral areas that became part of the new state of Czechoslovakia after the Treaty of Saint-Germain . These were the district of Gmünd Bahnhof (today České Velenice ) with the then Gmünder Hauptbahnhof and the villages of Erdweis ( Nová Ves nad Lužnicí ), Zuggers ( Krabonoš ) and Rottenschachen ( Rapšach ). The Waldviertel narrow-gauge railways branching off from the Franz-Josefs-Bahn in Gmünd therefore had to leave the new starting point at Gmünd, Lower Austria. (until then Gmünd Stadt ) in the vicinity should be re-routed in order to run only on Austrian territory.
