Administrative division of Austrian Silesia (1900)

The district of Teschen ( Polish : Powiat polityczny Cieszyn ) was a political district in Austrian Silesia in the years 1850–1855 and 1868–1918 / 1920. Its area included parts of the Olsa region (Cieszyn Silesia) in today's states of Poland ( Silesian Voivodeship , Powiat Cieszyński ) and the Czech Republic ( Moravskoslezský kraj , Okres Frýdek-Místek and Okres Karviná ). The seat of the district administration was the city of Teschen, today Cieszyn in Poland and Český Těšín in the Czech Republic. After the First World War , the district fell to Poland and Czechoslovakia .

history

In the years 1850–1855 the Teschen district also included Freistadt and 1868–1901 also Friedek.

In 1880 the district had 101 parishes (49 in the judicial district of Teschen, 32 in the judicial district of Friedek, 20 in the judicial district of Jablunkau). In 1890 there were 102 municipalities ( Žermanice was separated from Horní Bludovice ), on January 1, 1890 103 municipalities (Lomna was separated into Dolní Lomná and Horní Lomná ). On October 1, 1901, the Friedek judicial district became a separate district with 33 parishes. According to this, the Teschen district had an area of ​​730 km² and comprised 70 communities (49 in the Teschen judicial district and 21 in the Teschen Jablunkau judicial district).

Results of the censuses of 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910 in the judicial districts of Teschen and Jablunkau:
