Administrative history

Czechoslovakia / German occupation

Before the Munich Agreement of September 29, 1938, the political district of Česká Lípa belonged to Czechoslovakia .

In the period from October 1st to October 10th, 1938, German troops occupied this area. The political district of Česká Lípa from then on carried the former German-Austrian name Bohemian Leipa . The political district of Bohemian Leipa comprised the judicial districts of Bohemian Leipa and Haida. Since November 20, 1938, the political district of Bohemian Leipa has been known as the “district”. Until that day he was subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Colonel General Walther von Brauchitsch , as head of the military administration.

German Empire

On November 21, the area of ​​the Bohemian Leipa district was formally incorporated into the German Empire and came to the administrative district of the Sudeten German areas under Reich Commissioner Konrad Henlein .

The seat of the district administration was the city of Bohemian Leipa .

From April 15, 1939, the law on the structure of the administration in the Reichsgau Sudetenland (Sudetengaugesetz) came into force . Then the district of Bohemian Leipa came to the Reichsgau Sudetenland and was assigned to the new administrative district of Aussig .

On May 1, 1939, the partially cut districts in the Sudetenland were reorganized. Thereafter, the Bohemian Leipa district was retained within its previous boundaries. He also received the Dauba Judicial District from Dauba County . In addition, the following municipalities were incorporated:

On August 1, 1939, the dissolved Dauba district was rebuilt. He received the judicial district Dauba and the communities Bösig, Neudorf, Nossadel, Weißwasser ( localities Leimgruben and Wasatschka), Wiska and Zolldorf ( locality Waldsteinruhe 2nd ant.) From the district of Böhmisch Leipa .

It remained in this state until the end of World War II .

Since 1945 the area belonged to Czechoslovakia again. Today it is part of the Czech Republic .

Local constitution

On the day before the formal incorporation into the German Reich, namely on November 20, 1938, all municipalities were subject to the German municipal code of January 30, 1935, which provided for the implementation of the Führer principle at the municipal level. From then on, the terms customary in the previous territory of the Reich were used, namely instead:

  • Local parish: Municipality,
  • Market town: market,
  • Municipality: City,
  • Political district: District.

The previous place names continued to apply, namely in the German-Austrian version from 1918.

In 1942, the Arnsdorf market was incorporated into the town of Haida.
