Reichenbach administrative region

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The government of the Silesian Mountains in Reichenbach was an administrative district in Prussia and comprised the hill and low mountain range (see Giant Mountains ) of the province of Silesia with the county of Glatz in the east and with Hirschberg in the west.

It was created after the Prussian edict of April 30, 1815, because the areas of Silesia , which, in contrast to the plain on the Oder, were already industrialized , especially between Hirschberg and Waldenburg, were to be grouped under a separate central authority.

Taking into account the traditional context, the principalities of Schweidnitz, Jauer (excluding the previous district of Löwenberg-Bunzlau), the county of Glatz and the principality of Münsterberg, and the principality of Brieg, the district of Nimptsch, were assigned to the district. In the subsequent review of the more precise delimitation of the district districts as lower administrative authorities, it was possible to fall back on the reform of the Silesian administration that had already been carried out in 1742 according to largely the same criteria as those for the entire state territory. Therefore, especially in the area of ​​this intermediate authority, only the cities previously assigned to the inspections of the tax districts were classified in the existing districts, exclaves and enclaves were cleared up (Striegau, Münsterberg) and too long distances from the seat of the district administrator were divided by oversized districts (Glatz, Schweidnitz, Bolkenhain-Landeshut, Hirschberg) avoided or remedied.

After the completion of the administrative reorganization at the district level, the district of the government of the Silesian Mountains in Reichenbach now included 14 districts instead of the previous 10:

Hardly, however, that this authority could become fully effective, it was dissolved again on May 1, 1820 - probably to save offices - and the associated districts were assigned to the administrative districts for Central Silesia in Breslau (Frankenstein, Glatz, Habelschwerdt, Münsterberg, Nimptsch, Reichenbach, Schweidnitz, Striegau and Waldenburg) and for Lower Silesia to Liegnitz (Bolkenhain, Hirschberg, Jauer, Landeshut and Schönau).
