history

Before 1862

The original cell of the Münchberg district was the Münchberg neck court district. It originated in the 11th and 12th centuries, when the mountainous country was settled from the west.

After Margrave Karl Alexander von Brandenburg-Ansbach had sold his two Franconian principalities of Brandenburg-Ansbach and Brandenburg-Bayreuth for an annual pension of 300,000 guilders on January 28, 1792, Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia placed his new area under the administration of Karl August von Hardenberg . Hardenberg redesigned the state administration according to the Prussian model. On November 29, 1795, all previous state and administrative authorities, upper offices and bailiffs were abolished and the Principality of Bayreuth was divided into six district directorates, with Münchberg belonging to the district of Hof. Each of these circles was composed of caste offices to which the financial, police and general administration were subject. From then on the administration of justice served special judicial offices. The Münchberg caste office was formed.

The time of Prussian rule did not last long. During the Fourth Coalition War , Napoléon's troops invaded the Münchberg area on October 7, 1806 after the withdrawal of the Prussians under General Bogislav von Tauentzien on their advance to the northeast. From October 9 of the same year the Principality of Bayreuth was under French military administration. The Kingdom of Prussia was forced to renounce its Frankish principalities once and for all in the Peace of Tilsit . On February 28, 1810, the former Prussian province of Bayreuth was politically, economically and financially incorporated into Bavaria on July 1, 1810 by a state treaty between France and the Kingdom of Bavaria .

In 1811, pension offices were formed to replace the caste offices.

District Office

The Münchberg district office followed the Münchberg district court of the same area in 1862 .

When the Berneck district office was dissolved , which took effect on October 1, 1929, the municipalities of Falls , Kornbach , Streitau , Walpenreuth , Witzleshofen and Zettlitz were added to the Münchberg district office. On July 1, 1931, the Bayreuth District Office ceded the city of Gefrees and the communities of Lützenreuth and Metzlersreuth to the Münchberg District Office.

district

On January 1, 1939, the uniform imperial designation Landkreis was introduced. So the district office became the Münchberg district.

On July 1, 1972, the Münchberg district was dissolved as part of the regional reform in Bavaria . Together with the communities of the Naila and Rehau districts at that time , most of the communities were assigned to the Hof district . The municipalities of Falls, Gefrees, Kornbach, Metzlersreuth, Streitau and Witzleshofen, which formerly belonged to the Berneck District Office, were added to the Bayreuth district.

Deputy District Administrator

On June 14, 1948, the district council decided with 23 to 20 votes to elect a first and second deputy. Georg Frauß ( FDP ) was elected as first deputy and Felix Krämer (CSU) as second deputy. Georg Krauss resigned from office on October 31, 1948 due to a new legal situation as deputy district administrator, as he was considered a follower of the National Socialists. Until the election on December 7th, the office was carried out by Otto Kalbskopf, the oldest member of the district council. On December 7, 1948, Pastor Franz Blaschke was elected as the new deputy (until April 1952). From the 1952 electoral term, Emil Kreibich from Münchberg took over the post of Deputy District Administrator, who was replaced by Helmut Scholz from Stammbach in 1960. This held this office until the dissolution of the district in 1972.

District council

The local elections up to the regional reform in 1972 led to the following allocation of seats for the district councils:

Parties and groups of voters 1946 1948 1952 1956 1960 1966
SPD 19th 14th 15th 18th 18th 19th

Association of refugees, expelled and evacuated 3 3
FDP 8th
Union of expellees 4th
Others 17th
total 41 44 45 44 42 42

Correction to the district election in 1946: The Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior announced on May 3, 1946 that the number of members to be elected to the district assembly should not be based on the number of inhabitants according to the census of 1939, but the number of inhabitants according to the Update of the population for the 85th food supply period. The district council for the Münchberg district therefore does not have 33, but 41 seats. The CSU now has 20 instead of 16 and the SPD 19 instead of 15 seats.

Communities

Before the start of the Bavarian regional reform in the early 1970s, the district comprised 29 communities. The most populous municipalities were the district town of Münchberg and the towns of Helmbrechts and Gefrees .
