Acquisition

After dissolution of the District Prosecutor in Stříbro, its agenda was handed over to the Public Prosecutor in Cheb. At the end of 1963, documents were taken to the State Archives in Kadaň, where they were roughly arranged in 1964. After dissolution of the Kadaň site, the fonds was moved to the Žlutice branch of the State Archives in Plzeň. In 1969, it was relocated to the Central Archives in Plezň. The fonds was arranged and inventoried in 2007.

Scope and Content

Archival records in the fonds are a valuable source relating to development of the German Reich justice system in 1938–1945. For study of Jewish history, it is possible in particular to use files documenting a wide range of cases of destruction and looting of Jewish property in the Stříbro region after having been abandoned by the owners during the autumn of 1938 and spring of 1939 and other forms of persecution of citizens of Jewish origin, this in particular concerning inv. № 16, box № 1–70 (criminal files ref. PLs, 1939).

System of Arrangement

Only two groups of main Files (Generalakten) and the proper Criminal files (Handakten) ref. PLs and Indices to them (Strafprozessliste) have been preserved, and they are incomplete. Apart from this, only one Personal file has been preserved.
