history

Before 1862

In the 16th century, the area of ​​the Naila district was in the Brandenburg-Bayreuth margraviate , which fell to Prussia in 1792 . The Prussian justice office established in Naila in 1797 can be seen as the first predecessor of the Naila district. The Lichtenberg Oberamt, the Vogteiamt Schauenstein and the Administrative Office Schwarzenbach am Wald were attached to the Justice Office.

In 1806 the area was occupied by French troops. In 1810 Bavaria acquired the Brandenburg-Bayreuth Margraviate from France . In 1812, the former Prussian justice office of Naila became the Bavarian district court of Naila.

District Office

According to the Bavarian Courts Constitution Act of 1861, the administration of justice and administration had to be separated. The district office of Naila was established on July 1, 1862 from the regional court of the older order Naila of the same area .

On June 1, 1931, the Naila district office received the two communities Langenbach and Steinbach bei Geroldsgrün from the dissolved Teuschnitz district office .

district

On January 1, 1939, the uniform designation Landkreis was introduced in the German Reich . The District Office became the Naila district.

After the Second World War , the district took in many expellees . The population increased by 37 percent from 1939 to 1950.

In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria , the district Naila was 1 July 1972, together with municipalities from the former counties Münchberg and Rehau the district court assigned.

Due to its historical development and geographical location, the city ​​of Naila was the administrative center up to this point in time.

coat of arms

In 1957, the district of Naila was given the following coat of arms:

“Above a blue shield base, a silver mallet and a silver hammer crossed diagonally in it, split by silver and red; in front a gold-armored red eagle with golden clover-leaf stalks on the wings; behind a silver oblique left bar ”.

The base of the shield with the mining equipment reminds of the importance of mining, white and blue indicate that it belongs to Bavaria. The eagle is borrowed from the coat of arms of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, to whose territory the district belonged until 1792. The silver bar on a red background comes from the coat of arms of the Lords of the Green , who owned properties in the northeastern district.
