Archiv města Strakonice

The fonds contains documents of the municipal self-government and the delegated state administration until 1945 (1953), namely deeds, books, file material, and accounting material. In terms of industrial development, the town of Strakonice was among the important towns of southern Bohemia at the end of the 19th, and also during the 20th century. There were 5 factories producing fezzes, which were owned by the Jewish families of Fürth, Stein, Zucker, and Weil.
