Biographical History

After 1848, the public administration was nationalized and the Pilsen District Office was established in Pilsen in 1850, which changed its name and territorial competence several times until 1945. In 1855, a purely political District Office was established (not a political-judicial one). In 1866, after a reorganization (reduction), the political district of Pilsen included the judicial districts of Pilsen, Rokycany, and Blovice. In 1868, the Pilsen District Governor's Office was established. In 1896, the judicial district of Rokycany was removed from the Pilsen District Office. In 1918, the Pilsen District Governor’s Office was renamed the District Political Administration and in 1928 it was renamed the Pilsen District Office.

Archival History

The documents were originally stored in the registry of the District Office. Probably in 1941, the oldest part of the files was taken over by the Archives of the Ministry of the Interior in Prague and later transferred to the Regional Depository in Plasy and then to the State District Archives Pilsen. The second part of the files was moved in 1951 to the cellar of the town hall (JNV Pilsen) and in 1956 it was taken over by the State District Archives Pilsen. In 1963, the archive materials were taken over by the Archives of the City of Pilsen.
