History of origin

The State Directorate of Saxony emerged on March 1, 2012 from the former State Directorates of Chemnitz , Dresden and Leipzig , whose tasks and powers it has largely taken over. The former provincial head arose in turn in the course of the Saxon administrative reorganization and the district reform Saxony in 2008 on 1 August 2008 as the successor authorities of the former regional councils .

With the abolition of the regional directorates, a trend that can be observed nationwide (to Rhineland-Palatinate , Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony ) is continuing to abandon central authority authorities for cost reasons and assign existing tasks either to the lower authorities at the district and city level or to the ministries or to relocate directly subordinate, nationally active regional higher authorities to them.
