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 Zwickau district administration had been subdivided into four administrative authorities since 1838 , including the fourth administrative authority , which emerged from the Voigtland district .

1,874 were in Saxony Kingdom as part of a comprehensive administrative reform new district governor teams set up and Amtshauptmann teams. The district administration of Plauen was formed from the court districts of Elsterberg, Pausa, Plauen and Reichenbach. In terms of their function and size, the Saxon authorities were comparable to a district .

In 1907 the city of Plauen became a district-free city and resigned from the administration. On July 1, 1920, the district administration lost its eastern part (around Neumark ) to the newly formed district administration Werdau and in 1924 the city of Reichenbach became district-free.

In 1939 the Plauen administrative authority was renamed the Plauen district . In 1946 Reichenbach was reintegrated into the district, which continued to exist in the GDR until the territorial reform of 1952 and was then divided into the new districts of Plauen-Land and Reichenbach in the Karl-Marx-Stadt district.
