Administrative history

Czechoslovakia / German occupation

Before the Munich Agreement of September 29, 1938, the German-populated area was in the political district of Rýmařov in Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1938 .

In the period from October 1 to 10, 1938, German troops occupied this German-populated area in accordance with the Munich Agreement in order to make it part of the Reich . The political district of Rýmařov from then on carried the former German-Austrian name Roman town . It included the judicial district of Römerstadt. Since November 20, 1938, the political district of Römerstadt 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 Römerstadt district 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 seat of the district administration was the city of Römerstadt .

From April 15, 1939, the law on the structure of the administration in the Reichsgau Sudetenland (Sudetengaugesetz) came into force . Then the district of Römerstadt became part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland and was assigned to the new district of Troppau .

On May 1, 1939, the partially cut districts in the Sudetenland were reorganized. Thereafter, the Römerstadt district was retained within its previous boundaries.

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

Czechoslovakia / Czech Republic

In the summer of 1945 the area was placed under Czechoslovak administration by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . The area is now in the Czech Republic .
