Administrative history

Czechoslovakia / German occupation

Before the Munich Agreement of September 29, 1938, the political district of Děčín belonged to Czechoslovakia . In the period from October 1st to October 10th, 1938, German troops occupied this area. The political district of Děčín from then on carried the former German-Austrian name Tetschen . It included the judicial districts of Bensen, Böhmisch Kamnitz and Tetschen. Since November 20, 1938, the political district of Tetschen has been known as the "district". Until that day he was subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Colonel General von Brauchitsch , as head of the military administration.

German Empire

On November 21, the area of ​​the district of Tetschen 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 Tetschen .

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

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

Since February 12, 1943, the district had the name Tetschen-Bodenbach . It remained in this state until the end of World War II.

Czechoslovakia / Czech Republic

From 1945 the area belonged to Czechoslovakia until its dissolution. Today it is part of the Czech Republic .

District Administrator

Local constitution

One 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 enforcement of the Führer principle at municipality 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 of 1918. However, there was a change due to the merger of the cities of Bodenbach and Tetschen and the municipality of Altstadt on October 1, 1942. This new city was given the double name “Tetschen- Bodenbach ".
