- Archival history:
- The documents were handed over in parts to the Municipal Archives in Moravská Ostrava, first from the cancelled Municipal Office of Heřmanice in 1941-1944. Other transfers took place in 1978 and 1988, and the fonds was added to for the last time in 1991.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The first record of Heřmanice dates from 1305. From the early 16th century Heřmanice was part of the Polish-Ostrava manor, remaining in possession of the Family of Wilczek until 1848. Until 1941 there were self-governing bodies in Heřmanice. In 1941, the municipality was merged with Moravská Ostrava and began to be administered by the Municipality of Moravská Ostrava. In 1850-1855, Heřmanice was part of the political district of Frýdek and the judicial district of Bohumín. In 1855-1868, Heřmanice was part of the Bezirksamt (political and judicial district office) of Bohumín. In the period of 1918-1939 the municipality of Heřmanice was part of the political district of Frýdek and the judicial district of Slezská Ostrava.
