The law on the further democratization of the structure and functioning of the state organs in the states in the German Democratic Republic of July 23, 1952 resulted in an extensive district reform in the five remaining states of the GDR . On July 25, 1952, the federal states were dissolved and 14 districts were established. Here traditional circles were dissolved or divided into smaller circles, whereby there were also changes of area beyond the borders of the former five countries. The Zeulenroda district was mainly formed from the Greiz district ( Thuringia ). The district was assigned to the newly formed district of Gera , district town and seat of administration ( council of the district until 1990; then district office ) was Zeulenroda .

The following 49 municipalities formed the new Zeulenroda district :

Auma , Forstwolfersdorf and Wiebelsdorf ,
Arnsgrün , Bernsgrün , Brückla , Dobia , Dörtendorf , Heritage Green , Fröbersgrün , Göhren , Götte Village Neuärgerniß , Hain , Hain Berg , Hohenleuben , Kleinwolschendorf , Krölpa , Langenwetzendorf , Langenwolschendorf , Leiningen , Leitlitz , Lunzig , Mehla , Merkendorf , Muntscha , Naitschau , Niederböhmersdorf , Pahren , Pöllwitz , Schönbrunn , Silberfeld , Staitz , Stelzendorf , Triebes , Weckersdorf , Weißendorf , Wellsdorf , Wenigenauma , Wolfshain , Zadelsdorf and Zeulenroda ,
Ebersgrün , Linda , Oberreichenau , Pausa , Ranspach , Unterreichenau and Wallengrün ,
