The Amtshauptmannschaft Freiberg was an administrative district in the Kingdom of Saxony and later in the Free State of Saxony . Today, its area is largely part of the Central Saxony district in Saxony. From 1939 to 1952 the administrative district was called Landkreis Freiberg .

history

The Amtshauptmannschaft , founded in 1874, comprised the territories of the court offices of Brand , Frauenstein (Erzgebirge) (partially), Freiberg , Nossen and Sayda . The city of Freiberg did not belong to the official administration from 1915 to 1946 and was free of districts during this time .

In 1939 the Amtshauptmannschaft Freiberg was renamed the Freiberg district according to the unified name for the empire . In 1952, the territorial existence ended with the GDR district reform , when the successor districts Freiberg and Brand-Erbisdorf were created, which were assigned to the Karl-Marx-Stadt district . The extreme south was added to the Marienberg district (also Karl-Marx-Stadt district).
