Dresden center

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The town house was the seat of the council of the Dresden-Mitte district.

Dresden-Mitte was a district of Dresden from 1957 to 1991 , which included large parts of the city center on both sides of the Elbe and some Dresden suburbs on the left . Almost all of the urban area destroyed by the air raids on Dresden in 1945 belonged to it. At the head of the city district administration stood a city district mayor.

location

The urban district of Dresden-Mitte naturally did not border on Dresden's neighboring municipalities, but only on the four other urban districts. The northern border to the Dresden-Nord district marked the Elbe in the area between the former pioneer palace "Walter Ulbricht" and the Dresden deaconess institution . The further course of the border from the Diakonissenanstalt to the Marienbrücke railway roughly corresponds to the border between today's statistical districts of Inner Neustadt and Outer Neustadt . Between Marienbrücke and Basteiplatz, the Děčín – Dresden-Neustadt railway formed the western border to the Dresden-West district and, from the Budapester Strasse bridge, the southern border to the Dresden-Süd district .

Between the Basteiplatz and the banks of the Elbe at Lothringer Weg, the Dresden-East district bordered in the east . Specifically, the border ran from Basteiplatz first along Karcherallee to just before Comeniusstrasse, which it then followed to Schneebergstrasse. In this area it corresponded roughly to the western and northern boundary of Gruna . From the confluence of Heynahtstrasse, the city district border continued north, just east of Hepkeplatz and then continued along Bergmannstrasse and Eilenburger Strasse. There it initially corresponded roughly to the border between today's statistical districts 537 Striesen-Süd (Hepkeplatz) and 538 Striesen-Süd (Glashütter Strasse) and further north, in the area of ​​Rosa-Menzer- / Lene-Glatzer-Strasse, roughly the border between the statistical districts of Striesen-Ost and Striesen-West. The border between Friedensplatz and Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer was largely identical to the current border between the statistical districts of 511 Blasewitz (Händelallee) and 513 Blasewitz (Waldpark) on the one hand and 512 Blasewitz (Schillerplatz) on the other.

Consequently, the Dresden-Mitte district comprised the entire Altstadt district with the exception of Friedrichstadt and the outer Wilsdruffer Vorstadt in the form of the statistical district 047 Wilsdruffer Vorstadt (Jagdweg), which at that time belonged to Dresden-West. In addition, the statistical districts of Innere Neustadt , Striesen -West and -Süd (with the exception of the statistical district 538) and the statistical districts 511 and 513 in the Blasewitz district were included. In addition to the Great Garden , the city ​​district also included the Blasewitz Forest Park .

history

On May 14, 1957, the Dresden city council decided to reduce the number of city districts from nine to five. The district of Dresden-Mitte was then created in June 1957, essentially by renaming the district I formed in 1950. It consisted of the districts Old Town I and II with the exception of the outer Wilsdruffer suburb and the southern suburb of Dresden-Süd as well as the inner Neustadt and the West of Striesen. The city district therefore also included the city districts Innere Altstadt , inner Wilsdruffer Vorstadt , Seevorstadt , Pirnaische Vorstadt and Johannstadt . At the time of its founding, the Dresden-Mitte district had around 45,000 inhabitants again, despite the extensive destruction caused by the air raids on Dresden only twelve years ago .

From the five Dresden city districts of the GDR era, ten smaller units were formed in 1991 to make it easier for the residents to identify and to ensure closer proximity to the citizens. The name city ​​district was replaced by local office area in order to distinguish itself from the nomenclature of the GDR era. Since September 2018 it has been called the city district again. In addition to most of the old town, smaller parts of the Neustadt (Innere Neustadt) and Blasewitz (western part of Striesen and Blasewitz) districts also extend over the area of ​​the Dresden-Mitte district .

In February 2018, Dresden's Finance Mayor Peter Lames presented a plan which, by amalgamation, provides for a reduction of the ten districts created in 1991 and the nine localities created by 1999 to just seven districts. Renaming the old town district would create another Dresden-Mitte district . In the political environment, the majority adhered to the status quo.

District court Dresden-Mitte

For each of the five Dresden city districts as well as the Dresden-Land district , a district court was responsible as the initial instance of ordinary jurisdiction. The Dresden District Court was superordinate to them.

The district court Dresden-Mitte took over the jurisdiction for all five city districts as well as the district on July 1, 1990 as the now district court Dresden and handed these over to the district court Dresden on December 31, 1992 .
