The Bunzlau district was a Prussian district in Silesia . It existed from 1816 to 1945. The district office was in Bunzlau . The former district area is now in the Polish Lower Silesian Voivodeship .

Administrative history

The Weichbild Bunzlau in 1736

After the conquest of most of Silesia by Prussia in 1741, the royal cabinet order of November 25, 1741 introduced the Prussian administrative structures in Lower Silesia . This included the establishment of two war and domain chambers in Breslau and Glogau as well as their subdivision into districts and the appointment of district administrators on January 1, 1742.

In the Principality of Jauer , one of the Silesian sub-principalities, the Prussian districts of Hirschberg , Jauer and Löwenberg-Bunzlau were formed from old Silesian soft images . All three districts were subordinate to the War and Domain Chamber Glogau, from which the district of Liegnitz of the province of Silesia emerged in the course of the Stein-Hardenberg reforms in 1815 .

The Löwenberg-Bunzlau district was split up by the Liegnitz government on January 26, 1816 into the two districts of Löwenberg and Bunzlau. The separation took place along the historical Weichbild boundary, so that the district of Bunzlau initially corresponded to the historical Weichbild Bunzlau. On June 1, 1816, as part of the establishment of districts in the Silesian Upper Lusatia, the "Dominion Wehrau possessed by the Count Solms heirs " with the estates Altenhan, Binitz, Ganz Siegersdorf, Heide Gersdorf, Neudorf, Neu Gersdorf, Ober- and Nieder Waldau including Eichert, Tzschirna and the royal domain estate Ullersdorf incorporated into the Bunzlau district.

During the district reform of January 1, 1820 in the Liegnitz administrative district, there were further changes to the area:

  • The villages of Alt Jäschwitz, Alt Warthau, Groß Hartmannsdorf, Liebichau, Mittlau and Neu Warthau were reclassified from the Löwenberg district to the Bunzlau district.
  • The villages Brockendorf, Grüßiggrund, Märzdorf, Petschendorf, Sankt Hedwigsdorf and Woitsdorf were reclassified from the Bunzlau district to the Goldberg-Haynau district .
  • The village of Jakobsdorf was reclassified from the Bunzlau district to the Lüben district .
  • The village of Haugsdorf was reclassified from the Bunzlau district to the Lauban district .

Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation as part of Prussia and from January 1, 1871 to the German Empire . On November 8, 1919, the province of Silesia was dissolved. The new province of Lower Silesia was formed from the administrative districts of Breslau and Liegnitz . On September 30, 1929, a territorial reform took place in the Bunzlau district as in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which almost all manor districts were dissolved and neighboring rural communities were assigned.

On April 1, 1938, the Prussian provinces of Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia were reunited to form the Province of Silesia. At the same time, the communities Heiligensee, Mühlbock, Schnellfurt and Tiefenfurt were reclassified from the district of Görlitz and the community Heiligensee from the district of Sprottau to the Bunzlau district. On January 1, 1939, the Bunzlau district was given the designation Landkreis in accordance with the now unified regulation . On January 18, 1941, the province of Silesia was dissolved. The new province of Lower Silesia was formed from the administrative districts of Breslau and Liegnitz.

In the spring of 1945 the district was occupied by the Red Army . In the summer of 1945, the district was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . The influx of Polish civilians began in the district area, some of whom came from the areas east of the Curzon Line that fell to the Soviet Union . In the period that followed, most of the German population was expelled from the district .

Local constitution

The Bunzlau district has been divided into the cities of Bunzlau and Naumburg a. Queis , in rural communities and manor districts . With the introduction of the Prussian Municipal Constitutional Act of December 15, 1933, there was a uniform municipal constitution for all Prussian municipalities from January 1, 1934. With the introduction of the German Municipal Code of January 30, 1935, a uniform municipal constitution came into force in the German Reich on April 1, 1935, according to which the previous rural municipalities were now referred to as municipalities . These were grouped together in administrative districts . A new district constitution was no longer created; The district regulations for the provinces of East and West Prussia, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia and Saxony from March 19, 1881 continued to apply.
