Administrative history

On May 1, 1939, as part of a reorganization of the districts in the newly created Reichsgau Sudetenland, the district of Zwittau was founded and assigned to the administrative district of Troppau .

It originated from the following counties:

  • Leitomischl (partially): the part of the Litomysl judicial district that has become German,
  • Moravian Trübau (partially): the part of the judicial district of Zwittau that has become German and the municipality of Selsen from the judicial district of Gewitsch,
  • Politschka (partially): the part of the Politschka judicial district that has become German.

Until a district office was set up in Zwittau , the district was initially co-administered from Mährisch Trübau .

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 .
