Before the Munich Agreement of September 29, 1938, the political district of Šluknov belonged to Czechoslovakia .
In the period from October 1st to October 10th, 1938, German troops occupied this area. The political district of Šluknov from then on carried the former German-Austrian name Schluckenau . The political district of Schluckenau comprised the judicial districts of Hainspach and Schluckenau . Since November 20, 1938, the political district of Schluckenau has been known as the "district".
