history

As part of the administrative reorganization of the Kingdom of Saxony, the four district offices of Dresden , Bautzen , Zwickau and Leipzig were set up in 1835. The Zwickau district directorate had been subdivided into four administrative authorities since 1838 , including the III. Official governing body , which covered a large part of the Ore Mountains and had its seat in Forchheim .

1,874 were in Saxony Kingdom as part of a comprehensive administrative reform new district governor teams set up and Amtshauptmann teams. The district administration Annaberg was formed from the court districts of Annaberg, Ehrenfriedersdorf, Geyer, Jöhstadt, Oberwiesenthal and Scheibenberg. In terms of their function and size, the Saxon authorities were comparable to a district .

On October 1, 1900, from the eastern part of the Zwickau district main team, the Chemnitz district main team was formed as the fifth Saxon district main team, to which the Annaberg district administration belonged from then on. In 1939 the district administration Annaberg was renamed the district of Annaberg , which existed until the territorial reform of 1952 in the GDR and was then divided between the new districts of Annaberg and Zschopau in the Karl-Marx-Stadt district.
