Cieszyn, Administrative district in Silesia, Poland.
Located at the border between Poland and Czech Republic, Teschen serves as an administrative center within the Silesian Voivodeship jurisdiction system.
The district underwent significant changes during the Habsburg rule from 1526 until 1918, when it became part of the newly established Polish state.
The administrative structure of Teschen reflects the complex regional identity, incorporating elements of Polish, Czech, and German administrative traditions.
The district manages municipal affairs through elected councils that oversee education, infrastructure development, and public services for local residents.
Teschen functions simultaneously as both a gmina and powiat, creating a dual-level administrative system that serves various governmental purposes.
