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 Zwickau district directorate had been subdivided into four administrative authorities since 1838 , including the second administrative authority , which comprised the city of Zwickau and its surrounding area.

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 Zwickau was formed from the court districts of Crimmitschau , Kirchberg, Remse, Werdau , Wildenfels and Zwickau. In terms of their function and size, the Saxon authorities were comparable to a district . In the area of ​​the Schönburg recession , this reform was not completed until 1878. The two Schönburg lordships of Hartenstein (excluding the judicial district of Lößnitz ) and Stein, and from the Schönburg lordship of Glauchau the places Oberrothenbach , Obermosel and Jüdenhain were added to the district area. The area of ​​the former judicial district of Remse, which was territorially separated from the rest of the Zwickau administrative authority by the Schönburg recession, came to the newly formed Glauchau administrative authority in 1880 .

In 1907 the city of Zwickau became a district-free city and resigned from the administration. On July 1, 1920, the administrative governing body lost its western part to the newly formed Amtshauptmannschaft Werdau , from which the cities of Crimmitschau and Werdau were eliminated in 1924 and also became district-free. On March 1, 1933, the Werdau office was dissolved and reintegrated into the Zwickau office.

In 1939 the Zwickau administrative authority was renamed the Zwickau district . Werdau and Crimmitschau lost their district freedom again in 1946 and were incorporated into the district of Zwickau, which continued in the GDR until the territorial reform of 1952 and then to the new districts of Auerbach , Reichenbach , Stollberg , Werdau and Zwickau-Land in the Karl-Marx-Stadt district as well as the Schmölln district in the Leipzig district.
