Coat of arms of the Duchy of Bukovina

This is the list of presidents of Bukovina, the district-governors (until 1849) and the administrators (until 1861).

The years 1849 - 1854 were, according to the declaration of independence of Bukovina, a transitional period, during which the former district office gradually passed over into an independent state government. It was not until 29 May 1854, one can speak of such.[1]
