Administrative history

Czechoslovakia / German occupation

Before the Munich Agreement of September 29, 1938, the political district of Mariánské Lázně belonged to Czechoslovakia .

In the period from October 1st to October 10th, 1938, German troops occupied the area. The political district Mariánské Lázně from then on bore the former German-Austrian name Marienbad. It included the judicial district of Marienbad. Since November 20, 1938, the political district of Marienbad has been known as the "district". Until that day he was subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Colonel General Walther von Brauchitsch , as head of the military administration.

German Empire

On November 21, the area of ​​the Marienbad district was formally incorporated into the German Reich and came to the administrative district of the Sudeten German Territories under Reich Commissioner Konrad Henlein .

The city of Marienbad 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. Then the district of Marienbad became part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland and was assigned to the new administrative district of Eger with the seat of the district president in Karlsbad .

On May 1, 1939, the partially cut districts in the Sudetenland were reorganized. Thereafter, the Marienbad district was retained within its previous boundaries. The municipality of Dürrmaul was incorporated into the district of Plan .

Local constitution

On the day before the formal incorporation into the German Reich, namely on November 20, 1938, all municipalities were subject to the German municipal code of January 30, 1935, which provided for the implementation of the Führer principle at the municipal level. From then on, the terms customary in the previous territory of the Reich were used, namely instead:

  • Local parish: Municipality,
  • Market town: market,
  • Municipality: City,
  • Political district: District.

Place names

The previous place names continued to apply, namely in the German-Austrian version of 1918.

In 1942 the town of Unter Sandau and the communities of Ober Sandau and Zeidlweid merged to form the new community of Sandau (near Marienbad).
