Extent and Medium
16,13 linear meters
Acquisition
The basic principles of the Landrat (district councillor) agenda were set by the circular of Reich and Prussian Minister of the Interior on 15 January 1938. The documents on the operation of the office have not been preserved as well as the agenda of the Gendarmerie Department. Most of the documents have not been preserved. Over half of the archival records concern social work and youth care matters, other archival records concern accounting. The archival fonds was taken over by the State Archives in Kuks in 1953 and in Zámrsk in 1960. Between 1994-2002 fonds was transferred in three stages to the State District Archives in Ústí nad Orlicí.
Scope and Content
The archival fonds includes documents related to the accounting and social work matters, correspondence, filing cabinets and statistics. There is one inventory number concerning Jewish history directly: an overview of homesteads left by Czech and Jewish refugees.
System of Arrangement
The Landrat (district councillor) Králíky which was in operation between 1938-1945, was one of the German administrative bodies in the Reichsgau Sudetenland (Sudeten Region), where the Landrat was the head of Landkreis (rural district) Králíky. Landrat Králíky was the first instance administration office and was not successor of any previous district office but a newly created office. It included certain municipalities which before the occupation belonged to the district of six Judicial Districts (Králíky, Rokytnice v Orlických horách, Nové Město nad Metují, Opočno, Staré Město, Šumperk).
