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 Leipzig district directorate had been subdivided into four administrative authorities since 1838 , including the III. Headquarters in the Grimma , Oschatz and Wurzen area .

1874 Saxony were part of a comprehensive administrative reform in the Kingdom of new district governor teams set up and Amtshauptmann teams. From the judicial districts Brandis, Colditz, Grimma and Wurzen, the Amtshauptmannschaft Grimma was formed, while the remaining area of ​​the III. Amtshauptmannschaft were assigned to the new Amtshauptmannschaft Oschatz . In terms of their function and size, the Saxon authorities were comparable to a district .

In 1924 the city of Wurzen became a district-free city and thus retired from the administration. In 1939, the administrative authority of Grimma was renamed the district of Grimma . The city of Wurzen was reintegrated into the district in 1946. The district of Grimma continued until the territorial reform of 1952 in the GDR and was then largely divided between the new districts of Grimma and Wurzen , which were assigned to the Leipzig district .
