Administrative history

The final delimitation of the district area took place on January 1, 1820 with the following changes to the district boundary:
- Reclassification of the villages Alt- and Neu Berthelsdorf, Eckersdorf, Gieshübel, Gräflich Hernsdorf, Langenöls, Logau, Mauereck, Ober-, Mittel- and Nieder Steinbach, Ober-, Mittel- and Nieder Thiemendorf, Vogelsdorf from the district of Löwenberg to the district of Lauban

North German Confederation / German Empire
Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation 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, in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia, a territorial reform took place in the Lauban district , in which all previously independent manor districts were dissolved 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 county Lauban led the designation according to the rich now unified control district . On January 18, 1941, the province of Silesia was dissolved. The new province of Lower Silesia was formed from the previous 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

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 .
