Biographical History
The Vodňany District Office was established as a mixed district office in 1855 and dealt with the political and judicial agendas. It administered the judicial district of Vodňany and was subordinated to the Regional Office in Písek. In 1868, the mixed district office was abolished and the entire Vodňany judicial district was merged with the District Governor's Office in Písek. This situation lasted until 1940, when the Vodňany District Office was established as part of the Nazi occupation administrative reorganization. It lasted until 1942, when it was abolished by the Ministry of the Interior and its municipalities were incorporated into the district of the District Office of České Budějovice and the District Office of Písek.
Archival History
Originally, the fonds of the Vodňany Mixed District Office was stored in the building of the former Vodňany town hall. After the abolition of the office, the materials were transferred to Písek and partially appraised. In 1941, it was transferred to the former archives of the Ministry of the Interior in Prague and from there, in 1951, to the State Archives in Třeboň. In 1958, this part was processed. The materials of the fonds from the period of 1940-1942 were handed over to the District Archives in Písek in 1956, and to the State Archives in Třeboň in 1960. In that year, this part of the fonds was processed, and the entire fonds was inventoried.
