Zwickau was an electoral city until 1806. Since the end of the Middle Ages, the city has also been the administrative center of the Erzgebirge district. With the administrative reform of 1834/1835, higher state authorities in Bautzen , Dresden , Leipzig and Zwickau , the so-called district directorates , were introduced in the Kingdom of Saxony . Fifty years later, with the administrative reform of 1874, the four districts were renamed to district main teams based on the Austrian model. With the beginning of the 20th century came in Saxony by the Kreishauptmannschaft Zwickau division nor the Kreishauptmannschaft Chemnitz added, in aufgingen officials Bezirkshauptmannschaften Annaberg, Chemnitz, Flöha, Glauchau and Marie Berg and the city of Chemnitz District. From 1906 vehicles from the Zwickau district main team had the Roman number five ( V ) in their vehicle registration plates.

structure

The following administrative authorities were affiliated to the Zwickau district administration until 1900 :

After the division in 1900, the district authorities of Auerbach / V., Oelsnitz / V., Plauen, Schwarzenberg and Zwickau, and from 1907 the district-free cities of Zwickau and Plauen remained in the Zwickau district .

In 1924 the cities of Aue , Crimmitschau , Meerane , Reichenbach and Werdau became independent. With Plauen and Zwickau, the district main team consisted of seven independent cities and the five administrative authorities: Auerbach / V., Meerane, Oelsnitz / V, Plauen and Schwarzenberg. By exchanging territory with Thuringia in 1928, the boundaries of the district main team were changed slightly.

renaming

The Reich law on the re-naming of the administrations of December 23, 1938 ordered the renaming of the district main teams in administrative districts and the administrative authorities in districts, which came into force on January 1, 1939. The Zwickau administrative district became the Zwickau-Südwestsachsen administrative district .

Downfall

After the founding of the GDR in 1952, the SED government divided the state of Saxony into the districts of Dresden, Leipzig and Karl-Marx-Stadt. In the process, Zwickau lost its position as the administrative seat of the Southwest Saxony region, which had grown over the centuries, as a result of which the boundaries of the Zwickau district were changed several times. With the accession of the new federal states to the Federal Republic, Saxony emerged as a new federal state with three administrative districts that emerged from the old GDR districts. Zwickau did not regain its original rank. With the administrative reform of Saxony initiated by the then Prime Minister Milbradt (CDU), Zwickau also lost its rank as an independent city in 2008 and was incorporated into a newly founded district of Zwickau.
