history

The modern political districts of the Habsburg Monarchy were created around 1868 in the course of the separation of the political from the judicial administration. The district of Wiznitz was formed in 1868 from the judicial districts of Wiznitz and Putilla . In addition, on November 1, 1898, the judicial district of Waschkoutz am Czeremosch was established in the area of ​​the Wiznitz district. The judicial district of Waschkoutz am Czeremosch was finally separated from the district of Wiznitz on October 1, 1903 and merged with the judicial district of Stanestie from the district of Storozynetz to form the district of Waschkoutz am Czeremosch .
