[1] In the course of the Prussian Reform Movement, the district of Leobschütz was assigned to Regierungsbezirk Oppeln in the Province of Silesia.
The new Province of Upper Silesia was formed from Regierungsbezirk Oppeln.
Consequently, the district remained in Germany in the interwar period.
On 18 January 1941, the province of Silesia was dissolved again and the province of Upper Silesia was formed, including territories annexed from Poland.
The district had a majority German population, with significant Czech and Polish minorities.
