Czech Land/Bohemia, County Administration Prague Magistrate Explanation: I am not a historian. The origin of "hejtman" is (surprise, surprise...:-) in the German "Hauptman". "Hejtmanství" is a state administrative unit headed by a "hejtman", "chief man" of the administration of that unit. Nowadays the word is an "administrator". "Hejtmantství" were sometimes called "podkrajské úrady", i.e. "sub-district [level administration] authorities/offices". Therefore, as for the meaning, "okresní hejtman" is a "county administrator". Whether there is a comparable position for any such function in other countries with other systems of government, is another issue. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-08-03 03:11:00 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And, yes, \"far.\" is an abbreviation of \"parish\". |
