- Scope and content:
- The fonds contains documents from the self-administration of the town of Lovosice. The unarranged part of the fonds contains registration cards from the Second World War period, including the cards of people of Jewish origin that to some extent reveal their subsequent fate, including deregistration to the municipality of Dlažkovice, where a temporary internment camp for Jews was established.
- Archival history:
- Most of the town's older documents were lost, destroyed or taken away for recycling. Between 1957 and 1965 the remaining documents were transferred to the district archives and gradually inventoried. In 2006 the archives took the Lovosice registration cards from the Second World War period from the district police headquarters in Litoměřice.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The village of Lovosice became a liege town in 1600. In 1783 the domain of Lovosice along with the town itself passed to the Schwarzenberg family. 1848 saw the demise of aristocratic administration and Lovosice became the seat of the judicial district, and, from 1855-68, also of the political district. The second half of the 20th century saw the expansion of industry in Lovosice, in particular the food and chemical industries. The Jewish community has a long tradition in the town; it is certain that Jewish settlements already existed in the 17th century. Lovosice had its own Jewish quarter and a synagogue, which was destroyed in 1939. The last buildings in the former Jewish quarter were demolished during new urban development in 1961.
