The Provincial Office in Prague was a continuation of the Czech Governor's Office. In the years of 1918-1919, it was called the Political Administration of the National Committee. However, the office was headed by a president appointed by the head of state. The Office was subject to the Ministry of the Interior of the Czechoslovak Republic. From 1 December 1928, the Provincial Office in Prague began to operate in place of the Provincial Political Administration in Prague. After March 15, 1939, the entire administration became dependent on the Reich Protector, who was the highest legislator in the Czech lands. In 1945, the Prague Provincial Office was replaced by the Provincial National Committee in Prague.
