Also before the constitution about the reunification was by the 1st VO. to the decree of the Führer and Chancellor of the Reich concerning the administration of the Sudeten-German territories of 8 October 1938 (RGBl. I 1345) the scope of the proclamation sheets of the Empire was extended to Sudete-German areas and ordered that Reichsgesete, which according to the 10th century, had been founded in the German Empire.

Altspitenberg (Court district Kal-sching), Ogfolderhaid, Pernek, Parkfried and Neuofen (Chairman district Oberplan) including; - to the Land of Bavaria and the Government district Oberpfalz: the areas north of the community just mentioned up to the municipalities Grafenried, Mauthaus without part of the municipality Gib- acht (Ceil district Ronsperg), Possigkau, Klentsch and Chodenschloß.
