Administrative history

Czechoslovakia / German occupation

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

In the period from October 1st to October 10th, 1938, German troops occupied this area. The political district of Stříbro from then on bore the former German-Austrian name Mies. It included the judicial districts of Dobrzan, Mies, Stab and Tuschkau. Since November 20, 1938, the political district of Mies 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 district of Mies was formally incorporated into the German Reich and came to the administrative district of the Sudeten German territories under the Reich Commissioner Konrad Henlein . The town of Mies 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 Mies came to the Reichsgau Sudetenland and was assigned to the new administrative district of Eger .

On May 1, 1939, the partially cut districts in the Sudetenland were reorganized. After that, the district of Mies was essentially retained within its previous boundaries. But there were also:

the judicial district of Pilsen, insofar as it was incorporated into the German Reich,
the municipalities of Hurkau and Zahradka from the Manetin judicial district, formerly the political district of Kralovice .

It remained in this state until the end of World War II.

Czech Republic

After 1945 the area belonged again to Czechoslovakia and since 1993 to the Czech Republic .

District administrators

1939 -9999: silk moth

1939-1945: Frank

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. However, the town of Dobrzan received the fictitious name Wiesengrund .
