Administrative history

After the eastern part of the Lublinitz district with the towns of Lublinitz and Woischnik had been ceded by the German Reich to Poland in 1922, the rural communities of Heine and Mischline became part of the Groß Strehlitz district , the rural community and the Thursy estate district of the Rosenberg district on January 1, 1927 OS and from the part of the Lublinitz district that remained in the German Reich, the Guttentag district was formed.

On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in the Guttentag district in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which all manor districts were dissolved except for two uninhabited forest estate districts and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On April 1, 1938, the Prussian provinces of Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia were merged to form the new Province of Silesia. On January 1, 1939, the Guttentag district was given the designation Landkreis in accordance with the now uniform rule .

On November 20, 1939, the Lublinitz district was incorporated from the Katowice district into the Opole district. Now the Guttentag district was also co-administered from Lublinitz. On January 18, 1941, the province of Silesia was dissolved again and the new province of Upper Silesia was formed from the administrative districts of Katowice and Opole. On May 21, 1941, the district of Lublinitz received the Germanized name Loben. On June 1, 1941, the two districts of Guttentag and Loben were combined to form the new district of Loben with the district office in Loben. In the spring of 1945, the former area of ​​the Guttentag district was occupied by the Red Army and has belonged to Poland ever since .
