STATE SECRETARY FOR THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 600, sig. 109-4347 (damaged)
English Translation
-8- 72 would have to replace at least the Ministry of the Interior. However, to others, this would create a level playing field between the Reich's protector and the Ministry for the Interior, which should be avoided under all circumstances. For such a measure there is probably also a lack of any internal or external reason; even in the Reich, the "district-free cities" are not directly subordinated to the highest imperial authority. Special stables, such as Berlin, Hamburg cannot be compared because of the very different traditions. 2.) The sovereign responsibilities of the Oberlandrat cannot be transferred to the city of Prague, as a Czech municipality, nor can they be transferred by the Reichaprotector, who would equal the lower and highest inatance. 3.) Eg would therefore only be replaced by the creation of another "middle authority" or the Oberlandrat, which in practice only means a change of name or would have to lead to an - in my opinion undesired - loss of authority for the establishment of the Oberlendrat which should be avoided for psychological and political reasons against the technical administration. Although the term "Oberlendrat" sufficiently indicates that the Oberlandrat is already a central authority and cannot be compared with a Landrat of the old MW rich, one might think of giving the Oberlandsrat of Preg a different term of service. This would remove some misunderstandings and would be in line with the desire of the city of Prague not to be subject to a "Landrat". However, nothing would change about the actual state that has proven itself. A. 88ea2
