4-12 The administration in Sudetenland developed 19 outstanding Gauhauptmanns of great initiative tronddem. That, without prejudice to the aforementioned civil law regulations of the state sector and the sector of self-government in the Reichsgau Sudettenland in the counter-sat to the design of the office of the Reich's governor in the Eastern Markgaus are closed in itself, was already mentioned above (p. 15). A overlap can only be made at one point by being at the head of Division II for Health Care as the senior director of the government of the same official who is also responsible for health care in the state sector. Anyone who has read the far too little public address given by the Head of State Dr. On the occasion of the solemn introduction of the Gaurats on 4 December 1940 in Reichenberg, Krißl will gain the impression that the newly formed self-government body of the Sudetenland develops a far-fetched and fruitful activity. It, apart from the previously mentioned commission matter, depends on all duties in the sense of Vo. v. 17.7.1939 (RGBl. I 1269), in a forward-looking planning, this scope of tasks extremely far-reaching Wcise. In particular, the many institutions and installations, which the Reichsgau as a self-administrative body supervises, partly recreates or financially or otherwise supports and promotes, stand out. In order to highlight a few, for example, he certainly does more in the distortion of the peasant houses, in the care of the folk music system, in preservation of festivals, in music care, in theatre care and in the maintenance of the educational arts within the framework of the cultural and community care assigned to him than with the assignment of the so-called assignment area to the Gauselfverwaltung would be his duty. Thus, the self-government of the young Reichsgaues Sudetenland offers a pleasing picture and may perhaps be seen as a sign that, to the extent that the need for war recedes, the idea of self-administration, which is perfectly compatible with a tight implementation of the uniform political line, is an organic addition to it, will be expressed more and more clearly. By finding a parallel in the Reichsgau Sudetenland, which not only corresponds to the established regulations, but also in the Ostmarkgauen and the Prussian provinces, in a particularly large number of volunteers distributed throughout the Gau, especially in the care of the prehistory, in the preservation of monuments and in the archival system, such real self-government also grows organically upwards in the personal sense - it is precisely the sense of self-administration according to the lord of the stone - from small cells.
