Biographical History

The District Office in Trebišov was the regioanl state administration body. It was established in 1928 on the basis of the Government Regulation no. 93/1928 Coll. This regulation re-defined the borders of some districts at the territory of Czechoslovakia (1918-1939) as well as the seats of several District Offices. Thus, on the basis of the above-mentioned regulation the District Office in Sečovce was transferred to Trebišov. By the end of 1939, the District Office in Trebišov was subordinated to the Country Office in Bratislava (Krajinský úrad v Bratislave). Soon after the creation of the Slovak state (March 14, 1939) its state administration was reorganized and the District Office in Trebišov was subordinated to the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic (pursuant to the Law No. 190/1939 effective from 1 January 1940). In matters falling within the competence of other ministries, regulations and instructions of these ministries were implemented. Since 1 January 1940, the Trebišov district was incorporated into the the newly established Šariš-Zemplín County (Šarišsko-zemplínska župa) and was subordinated to the County Office of the Šariš-Zemplín County (Župný úrad Šarišsko-zemplínskej župy), located in Prešov. The District Chief Officer (Okresný náčelník) was the head of District Office in Trebišov with the responsibility for the state administration in the district as well as the work of the District Office. The District Chief Officer was subordinated to the respected County Office and the Ministry of Interior. District Offices were superior to the local notary offices and regional notary offices which were the lowest level bodies of the state administration in Slovakia 1938-1945.
