Zombor District
The crown land Voivodeship of Serbia and Temes Banat was formed in 1849 and was initially divided into two districts: Batschka-Torontal and Temeschwar-Karasch.In German the original term used for these subdivisions was Districte[1] (modern spelling Distrikte).In 1851 they were divided into subdivisions called (politische) Bezirke,[1] usually translated as '(political) districts'.In Bach's reforms from 1853 the Districte became Kreise,[3] a form of administrative division already in use across much of the non-Hungarian part of the Empire since the 18th century.The change of name was not superficial – different political, administrative and judicial structures were used in each subdivision type.
