Praise the district
The district of Loben (until 1941 the district of Lublinitz ) was a district in East Upper Silesia during the German occupation of Poland from 1939 to 1945 . On January 1, 1945, it comprised the three cities of Guttentag , Loben and Woischnik as well as a further 61 municipalities and two forest districts .
Administrative history
During the attack on Poland , the Polish district of Lubliniec was occupied by the Wehrmacht in September 1939 and on October 26, 1939, under the name of the district of Lublinitz, it became part of the newly formed administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia . 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. The new province of Upper Silesia was formed from the previous administrative districts of Katowice and Opole . On May 21, 1941, the Lublinitz district was given the Germanized name of the Loben district . 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 area of the Loben district was occupied by the Red Army and has belonged entirely to Poland ever since .

Local constitution
Three months after incorporation into the German Reich, all municipalities in the Lublinitz district were awarded the German municipal code of January 30, 1935 valid in the old Reich on January 26, 1940. A new district constitution was no longer created in the western part of the district (former Guttentag district); The district regulations for the provinces of East and West Prussia, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia and Saxony of March 19, 1881 continued to apply. This was repealed with effect from April 1, 1942, with the exception of the provisions on the districts and chiefs. From this point on, the district law applicable in the incorporated eastern areas was valid for the entire district area .
