- Scope and content:
- The fonds contains documents of the municipal self-government. Although Třebíč had a strong Jewish community, and a Jewish political community after 1848, the fonds only includes one file (inv. 615) concerning Jewish issues: documents relating to the station for refugees from Galicia (lists of refugees, official correspondence, information about accommodation and correspondence with the district court from 1925 regarding a suspicion of murders of refugees).
- Archival history:
- The fonds was arranged partly in 1929–31, then completely in 1965–69. Many documents have since been added and a rearrangement is currently being considered.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The first record of Třebíč appeared in 1101 in connection with the founding charter of the Benedictine monastery. A market settlement arose in Podklášteří, then a town and a Jewish community, which was first mentioned in 1410. The medieval centre of western Moravia was conquered and destroyed in 1468 by the army of Matthias Corvinus. The Benedictine monastery ceased to exist and its land and buildings were converted into a manorial estate which was owned by many significant Moravian families. The history of both Christian and Jewish Třebíč was most affected by the Wallenstein Family. After the end of the manorial administration, municipal self-government began to develop, and was a purely Czech affair from the 1880s onward. When the Czechoslovak Republic was established, many neighbouring settlements and municipalities were connected to the town, including the Jewish political community in 1931. The town continued to develop as the industrial centre of the area.
