Bergreichenstein district
The district of Bergreichenstein (Czech: Mestys Kašperské Hory ) belonged to the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Bavaria and Upper Palatinate from 1939 to 1945 as a result of the Munich Agreement with the forced cession of the Sudetenland . The administrative seat of the district was the town of Bergreichenstein (Czech. Kašperské Hory ).
history
The Munich Agreement of September 30, 1938 was signed by the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler , the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain , the French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier and the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini . The Czechoslovakia and the allied with it the Soviet Union were not invited to the conference. The agreement stipulated that Czechoslovakia had to cede the Sudetenland to the German Reich and vacate it within ten days. The invasion of the Wehrmacht began on October 1, 1938. The Bergreichenstein district was formed from the judicial districts Bergreichenstein and Hartmanitz des Okres Sušice.
As part of the reorganization of the administration of the annexed Sudetenland , it was incorporated into the administrative districts of Lower Bavaria and Upper Palatinate on March 25, 1939 . It comprised:
- two cities ( Bergreichenstein , Unterreichenstein )
- a market ( Hartmanitz ),
- 20 municipalities.
As early as 1942, the British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden , an opponent of Chamberlain's appeasement policy, declared that Germany had "deliberately destroyed" the agreement, which is why the United Kingdom no longer felt bound by its promises and His Majesty's government was free to settle future borders Let hand. A few weeks later, the French government-in-exile followed suit . The other allies also subsequently agreed.
After Germany's capitulation in May 1945, the Bergreichenstein district was immediately reassigned to Czechoslovakia and was also reintegrated into Okres Sušice. As part of the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia , most of the German-speaking residents of the district were also expelled.
