history

Seal mark with the seal of the Royal Saxon Authority Grossenhain

The administrative authority of Großenhain was formed in 1874 from the districts of the court offices in Großenhain , Radeburg , Riesa and parts of the court office in Moritzburg . The city of Riesa did not belong to the official governing body from 1924 to 1946 and was free of districts during this time .

In 1939, the term Amtshauptmannschaft was transferred to the regionally uniform designation Landkreis . In 1952, the district of Großenhain was reorganized as part of the GDR district reform . Successors were the smaller Grossenhain district and the Riesa district , both of which were assigned to the Dresden district .
