When the Amtsgericht Görkau (The District Court in Jirkov) was abolished in 1945, its documents were stored in the court building in Chomutov in the common registry for the district courts of Hora sv. Sebestiana, Chomutov and Jirkov. Those documents were, in the 1950s-1960s, gradually handed over to the State Archives in Litomerice (since 1974, the State Regional Archives Litomerice). The archive collection was arranged and inventoried in 1967. In 1979, the archive collection was transferred to the District Archives Chomutov, based in Kadan (since 1992, the State District Archives Chomutov, based in Kadan).
