Amtsgericht (District Court) of Poběžovice
Extent and Medium
5,64 linear meters
Acquisition
The documents of the Amtsgericht (district court) in Poběžovice were stored in the registry office at the court building. After the demise of this judicial occupation authority, the documents were taken over by the renewed District Court in Poběžovice. Its successor, the People's Court in Domažlice, gave them to the State Archives in Plzeň in 1960, where the archival fonds was arranged in 1962. It was transferred to the Domažlice State District Archives in 1999.
Scope and Content
The fonds contains archival materials from the lowest instance of the judicial administration in the annexed border region in the years 1938–1945. In the library requests from 1940 it is possible to trace archival materials attesting to the sale of the synagogue in Meclov (box 76, file 291-40) or archival materials from 1939–1940 documenting the dissolution of the Jewish Religious Community in Poběžovice and the entrusting of its property to the care of the Aufbaufond (construction fund) and the subsequent transfers of these assets (box 75, files 380-39, 379-39, 391-39, 352-40).
System of Arrangement
The archival materials were divided up into registry finding aidand files. Registry finding aidswere further divided into aids of the Amtsgericht, the inheritance court, the labour court and the debt service office. The files were broken down into files for the Amtsgericht and labour court and files of the debt service office. The Amtsgericht files comprise administrative files, civil dispute files, criminal files, library files and other non-dispute files. The labour court files represent dispute files. Only a fraction of the files from the debt service office were preserved.
