Generalgouvernement - occupied Poland 1939–1945

In the so-called Generalgouvernement, the German administrators in occupied Poland used the official designation Kreishauptmann for the highest civil administrator of a district and, by analogy, the designation city ​​governor for an independent city. The German (Prussian) term Landrat was used for the district administration in the incorporated Wartheland .

Czech Republic

The official designation of the regional presidents of the Czech regions ( krajský hejtman ) is usually translated as Kreishauptmann in Austria , as this corresponds more to the terms used there ( district captain / provincial governor ).
