The Okres Chomutov (German district Komotau , during the German occupation 1938–1945 district Komotau ) was a regional authority in Ústecký kraj (Aussig region) in the Czech Republic . The Okresy were roughly comparable to the counties in Germany and were dissolved on December 31, 2002 .
Okres Chomutov spreads in the southwestern part of the Ústecký kraj (Czech Republic). 124,751 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2019) live on 935 km² in eight cities and 36 municipalities with 173 districts.
The district can be divided into four regions, each of which has special characteristics:
- Ore Mountains (Krušné hory), which occupy 41% of the area and represent the oldest geological formation. This area plays an important role in the climatic area and as a water reservoir. The Preßnitz dam , which was built in 1974, provides drinking water
- Mostecký úval basin with rich deposits of brown coal
- Saaz Basin (Žatecká pánev), an agriculturally productive area
- Duppau Mountains (Doupovské hory)
The forests take up about 30% of the area and are currently being reforested after the great forest dieback in the 1970s.
The Chomutov district was the industrial center of heavy industry, power generation, steel processing and mining. Restructuring and closings over the last decade made it less important and at the same time increased the unemployment rate to 17%.
