history

Seal of the Royal Saxon Authority - Glauchau

1,874 were in Saxony Kingdom as part of a comprehensive administrative reform new district governor teams set up and Amtshauptmann teams. In the area of ​​the Schönburg recession , this reform was not completed until 1878, when the new Glauchau administrative authority was formed from the Schönburg dominions of Glauchau, Waldenburg and Lichtenstein. The Saxon Amtshauptmann teams were in function and size similar to a county .

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 Glauchau district administration also belonged from then on. In 1924 the cities of Glauchau and Meerane became district-free cities and left the administration. On April 1, 1928, an exchange of territory between Saxony and Thuringia was carried out. The district of Altenburg gave its communities Neukirchen , Waldsachsen , Untergötzenthal , Wickersdorf , as well as splinter areas in Harthau and Gähsnitz to the Saxon authorities in Glauchau and received the Saxon shares in the communities of Kauritz , Frohnsdorf and Heiersdorf from the authorities in Glauchau . In 1939 the Glauchau administrative authority was renamed the Glauchau district . In 1946 the city of Glauchau was reintegrated into the district and Meerane lost its district freedom on February 17, 1947. Schlagwitz was reclassified on July 1, 1950 from the Rochlitz district to the Glauchau district. The district of Glauchau continued in the GDR until the territorial reform of 1952 and was then divided into the new districts of Glauchau and Hohenstein-Ernstthal , which were assigned to the Karl-Marx-Stadt district . The communities Gähsnitz and Ziegelheim (with the districts Uhlmannsdorf and Niederarnsdorf ) were incorporated into the Altenburg district in the Leipzig district.
