Administrative history

Czechoslovakia / German occupation

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

In the period from October 1 to 10, 1938, German troops occupied the predominantly German-speaking Sudetenland. The political district of Šternberk again bore the original German-Austrian name Sternberg . It included the judicial districts of Mährisch-Neustadt and Sternberg, each up to the new imperial border. Since November 20, 1938, the political district Sternberg carried 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.

The incorporated area also included a Czech language island near Moravian New Town with the villages of Šumvald, Troubelice, Pískov, Lipinka and Lazce.

German Empire

On November 21, the area of ​​the district of Sternberg 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 Sternberg 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 Sternberg came to 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 district of Sternberg was retained within its previous boundaries. From the district of Littau he received the judicial district of Littau (up to the new imperial border) without the communities of Andersdorf, Dittersdorf, Domstadtl , Seibersdorf and Siebenhöfen and from the district of Olmütz-Land the community of Pohorsch and the village of Weska of the community of Dollein . The communities of Andersdorf, Dittersdorf, Domstadtl, Seibersdorf and Siebenhöfen were assigned to the district of Bärn .

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

Czechoslovakia / Czech Republic

From 1945 the area belonged again to Czechoslovakia. Today it is part of the Czech Republic .

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 from 1918.

In 1943 the municipalities of Oberlangendorf and Unterlangendorf, Markt were merged to form the new municipality of Marktlangendorf .
