The Leipzig District Administration was formed from the court districts Leipzig I and II, Markranstädt , Geithain , Taucha and Zwenkau . The city of Leipzig became district-free and did not belong to the new administration. In terms of their function and size, the Saxon authorities were comparable to a district .
