Biographical History
The Municipality Office in Brezno was established on January 1, 1923. It ceased to exist on January 31, 1945. The fonds contains the documents of the Municipality office, reflecting the activities of Municipality Council, Municipality Assembly and the Mayor. Since the Notary Office in Brezno which was responsible for the state matters at the territory of the town, was also part of the Municipality office, this collection is important for the research of anti-Jewish measures on the territory of the town of Brezno.
