geography

location

The district of Zwickau-Land was located in West Saxony and surrounded the city of Zwickau in the shape of a collar . The Zwickauer Mulde flowed through it.

Neighboring areas

The district of Zwickau-Land bordered in a clockwise direction in the north, beginning with the districts of Glauchau , Hohenstein-Ernstthal , Stollberg , Aue , Auerbach , Reichenbach and Werdau and the urban district of Zwickau .

landscape

The northern part of the district was in the low mountain range, which was taken here by the Erzgebirge basin. It is a slightly undulating landscape on average 300 m high, which is rarely covered with small forests. However, this picture changes south of Wilkau-Haßlau, where the first heights of the Voigtland and the Western Ore Mountains appear. The landscape becomes more lively and therefore more varied. Deciduous and coniferous forests and a gradual rise to an altitude of 400 m characterize this region. From south to north, the Zwickauer Mulde flows through the district in many turns. The settlements are piling up in their valley, and the old traffic routes also run here. The Pleiße rises near Ebersbrunn, although it leaves the district to the west of Zwickau.

history

The Zwickau administrative authority was established in the Kingdom of Saxony as early as 1874 and renamed the Zwickau district in 1939 . The district of Zwickau belonged to the state of Saxony after 1945 and thus to the GDR since 1949.

On July 25, 1952, a comprehensive district reform took place in the GDR , in which, among other things, the states lost their importance and new districts were founded. Parts of the district of Zwickau fell to the new districts of Auerbach , Reichenbach , Schmölln , Stollberg and Werdau . The Zwickau-Land district was formed from the remaining district area together with part of the Glauchau district. It was assigned to the Karl-Marx-Stadt district and the city of Zwickau became the seat of the district.

The Zwickau district gave up the following municipalities:

Lauterhofen, Obercrinitz and Stangengrün.
Neumark, Reuth and Schönbach
Erlbach, Lugau, Neuwürschnitz, Niederwürschnitz, Oelsnitz i. Erzgeb. and space
Beiersdorf, Blankenhain, Crimmitschau, Dänkritz, Gospersgrün, Hartmannsdorf b. Werdau, Königswalde, Langenbernsdorf, Langenhessen, Langenreinsdorf, Lauenhain, Lauterbach, Leubnitz, Neukirchen a. d. Pleiße, Niederalbertsdorf, Oberalbertsdorf, Ruppertsgrün, Seelingstädt, Steinpleis, Trünzig, Werdau and Zwirtzschen
  • 42 communities remained in the old district of Zwickau :
Auerbach b. Zwickau, Bärenwalde, Burkersdorf, Cainsdorf, Crossen, Culitzsch, Cunersdorf, Ebersbrunn, Friedrichsgrün, Giegengrün, Härtensdorf, Hartenstein, Hartmannsdorf b. Kirchberg, Hirschfeld, Kirchberg, Langenbach, Leutersbach, Lichtentanne, Moselle, Niedercrinitz, Niederhohndorf, Oberrothenbach, Ortmannsdorf, Pöhlau, Reinsdorf, Rottmannsdorf, Saupersdorf, Schneppendorf, Schönau, Schönfels, Silberstraße, Stenn, Thierfeld, Vielau, Weißbach, Wiesen, Wiesenburg, Wildbach, Wildenfels, Wilkau-Haßlau, Wolfersgrün and Zschocken.

They formed complemented by

Mülsen St. Micheln, Mülsen St. Jacob, Mülsen St. Niclas, Niedermülsen, Stangendorf, Thurm and Wulm

the new district of Zwickau.

Due to changes in the municipal area and reclassifications, the number of municipalities fell to 39 until the first regional reform in Saxony (August 1994):

  • December 4, 1952 Auerbach, Niederhohndorf and Pöhlau are incorporated into the Zwickau district
  • December 4, 1952 Lauterhofen, Obercrinitz and Stangengrün were relocated from the Auerbach district to the Zwickau district
  • December 4, 1952 Lichtenau is relocated from the Aue district to the Zwickau district
  • 4th December 1952 Reclassification from Wildbach to the Aue district
  • January 1, 1956 new reclassification from Lichtenau to the Aue district
  • September 17, 1961 Wiesen incorporated into Wiesenburg
  • January 1st 1970 incorporation of Lauterhofen in Obercrinitz
  • January 1, 1972 incorporation of Giegengrün into Leutersbach
  • August 1, 1973 Burkersdorf is incorporated into the city of Kirchberg
  • January 1st 1974 incorporation of Schönau into Wiesenburg
  • July 1, 1993 incorporation of Hartmannsdorf b. Werdau in the independent city of Zwickau
  • January 1, 1994 Incorporation of Schneppendorf in Crossen
  • January 1st, 1994 Thierfeld is incorporated into the city of Hartenstein
  • January 1, 1994 Bärenwalde and Obercrinitz merged to form Gde. Crinitzberg

On May 17, 1990, the Zwickau-Land district was renamed the Zwickau district. On the occasion of the reunification of the two German states, the district was awarded to the re-established state of Saxony in October 1990 . During the first Saxon district reform , it was absorbed on August 1, 1994 in the new Zwickauer Land district .

economy

The proximity of the big city meant that the industrial companies had mainly settled in Zwickau. There were residential communities in the district, from which daily commuters poured into the city. Notable industries were found only in Wilkau-Haßlau (worsted spinning mills, confectionery, furniture) and in Kirchberg (cloth industry). In the Erzgebirge Basin in particular, there was increased agriculture. In the district area, 10 to 20% of those in work were employed in agriculture, especially in the large LPGs in Mülsen-Ortmannsdorf, Zschocken, Weißbach and Hartenstein. Important industrial companies were:

  • VEB vehicle heating Kirchberg
  • VEB Westsächsische Volltuchfabrik Kirchberg
  • VEB Signaltechnik Wildenfels
  • VEB confectionery factory Wesa Wilkau-Haßlau
  • VEB Synthetex light fir
  • the ore processing plant of SDAG Wismut in Crossen.

traffic

The district was connected to the GDR motorway network through the Plauen – Karl-Marx-Stadt motorway. The F 93 from Altenburg via Zwickau to Schneeberg , the F 173 from Plauen via Zwickau to Karl-Marx-Stadt and the F 175 from Zwickau to Werdau also served national road traffic . The district area was opened up by the railway lines Dresden – Zwickau – Werdau , Zwickau – Schwarzenberg and Zwickau – Falkenstein .
