Administrative history

Czechoslovakia / German occupation

Before the Munich Agreement of September 29, 1938, the political districts Nové Město nad Metují , Rychnov nad Kněžnou and Žamberk belonged to Czechoslovakia .

In the period from October 1 to October 10, 1938, German troops occupied this area up to the agreed demarcation line .

Nové Město nad Metují , Rychnov nad Kněžnou and Žamberk from then on carried the former German-Austrian names Neustadt an der Mettau, Reichenau and Senftenberg in Bohemia . Neustadt comprised parts of the judicial districts Neustadt a. M. and Opotschno , Reichenau parts of the judicial district Reichenau, and Senftenberg the judicial districts Grulich , Rokitnitz and parts of Senftenberg. Since November 20, 1938, the three political districts have been known as "Landkreis". Until that day you were subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Colonel General Walther von Brauchitsch , as head of the military administration.

German Empire

The next day, the three districts were 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 Grulich 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. After that, parts of the three districts became part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland and were assigned to the new administrative district of Troppau .

On May 1, 1939, the partially cut districts in the Sudetenland were reorganized. Then the new district of Grulich was formed from the districts:

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

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