history

The Werdau administration was formed on July 1, 1920 in the Free State of Saxony from parts of the existing Zwickau (western part in the Pleiße valley with Werdau and Crimmitschau) and Plauen (eastern part around Neumark (Vogtland) ). The Saxon Amtshauptmann teams were in function and size similar to a county . On July 1, 1924, the cities of Crimmitschau and Werdau became district-free citiesand retired from the administration. On March 1, 1933, the Werdau administration was dissolved again and incorporated into the Zwickau administration.

As part of the territorial reform of 1952 in the GDR , the Werdau district was formed, which was assigned to the Karl-Marx-Stadt district .
