Czechoslovakia / German occupation

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

In the period from October 1st to October 10th, 1938, German troops occupied this area. The political district Nejdek from then on carried the former German-Austrian name Neudek . It included the judicial districts of Neudek and Platten. Since November 20, 1938, the political district Neudek led the designation "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, 1938, the Neudek district was formally incorporated into the German Reich and became part of the administrative district of the Sudeten German Territories under Reich Commissioner Konrad Henlein .

The seat of the district administration was the city of Neudek .
