Administrative history

Czechoslovakia / German occupation

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

In the period from October 1st to October 10th, 1938, German troops occupied this area. From then on, the district bore the former German-Austrian name Freudenthal . It comprised the judicial districts Bennisch, Freudenthal and Würbenthal . Since November 20, 1938, the political district of Freudenthal has been known as the "district".

German Empire

On November 21, the Freudenthal district was formally incorporated into the German Reich and came to the administrative district of the Sudeten German territories under the Reich Commissioner Konrad Henlein . The town of Freudenthal became the seat of the district administration .

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

On May 1, 1939, the partially cut districts in the Sudetenland were reorganized. After that, the Freudenthal district remained within its previous boundaries. He received the communities of Karlsberg, Neurode and Rautenberg from the district of Bärn and ceded the communities of Groß Herrlitz and Zattig to the district of Troppau . It stayed that way until the end of World War II .

Since 1945 the area belonged to Czechoslovakia again. Since its division on January 1, 1993, it has belonged to the Czech Republic .
