history
The district was formed according to the Munich Agreement from the judicial districts of Frain, Joslowitz and Znaim des Okres Znojmo / District Znojmo and the judicial district Mährisch Kromau des Okres Moravský Krumlov / District Mährisch Kromau. On October 13, 1938, the area was occupied by German troops. The Czechoslovakian villages Groß Maispitz and Weskau were cut off from any traffic connection to the inland area by the demarcation and could only be reached from the Czechoslovakian area via muddy roads through the Granitzgrund. When the border was established on November 20, 1938, some municipalities and parts of municipalities were incorporated and outsourced in the area of the language border, which were implemented on November 24th. With the exception of the Edmitz breakpoint , the municipality of Edmitz was assigned to Czechoslovakia in exchange for the municipality of Groß Maispitz and the Wolframitzkirchen train station. Groß Maispitz was the only municipality in the district where only Czechs lived.
As part of the reorganization of the administration of the occupied Sudetenland , it was incorporated into the Reichsgau Niederdonau on March 25, 1939 . After the end of the war, the area of the Znojmo district came back to Czechoslovakia ; The Okres Znojmo was rebuilt from the places of the judicial districts Frain, Joslowitz and Znaim, the judicial district Mährisch Kromau was reunited with some parts of the judicial district Hrottowitz / Hrotovice to form Okres Moravský Krumlov.
