- Scope and content:
- The fonds contains the records of the Bezirksamt (political and judicial district office) of Úštěk. Due to its lack of information on Jewish topics, it may be regarded only as a supplementary source. Records relating to Jewish issues are mainly in section 5 -(religious matters), particularly in registry aids. Part of record group 11 -(businesses, art, factories) -also contains information about people of Jewish origin.
- Archival history:
- After the abolition of the district office of Úštěk, the registry fonds was handed over to the district governorship of Litoměřice. Until 1941 it was kept at the district office of Litoměřice, later the Landrat of Leitmeritz. In July 1941 the records of the former district office were taken over by the Reich archive in Liberec, where they were kept until 1949, when they were handed over to the regional archives in Litoměřice. In September 1961, after they had been processed and inventoried, the records were moved to the district archives in Litoměřice.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The political and judicial district office of Úštěk was in existence from 1855-68 as a joint lowest-ranking authority for the judicial district of Úštěk, which contained 54 cadastral communities. The office was abolished on 30 August 1868 and its administrative powers were transferred to the newly established district governorship of Litoměřice.
