About this picture

The district of Bautzen ( Upper Sorbian Wokrjes Budyšin ) formed in 1994 was a district in Eastern Saxony with Bautzen and Bischofswerda as major district towns . It bordered the Kamenz district to the west and north , the Lower Silesian Upper Lusatia district to the east, the Löbau-Zittau district to the southeast and the Czech Republic and the Saxon Switzerland district to the south . The district was a member of the Neisse Euroregion .

geography

The district stretched from the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape in the north over the Lusatian mountains around Wilthen and Cunewalde (colloquially referred to as the Oberland ) to the Czech border at Sohland on the Spree . The largest river in the district was the Spree , which flows through Bautzen. Smaller rivers were the Löbauer Wasser , the Kleine Spree and the Wesenitz , on which Bischofswerda lies. The largest body of water in terms of area was the Bautzen dam . In the northern part of the district there were numerous ponds and lakes that were created for the purpose of fishing. The 955 km² large former district area was predominantly covered with pine forest in the north, the middle part was intensively cultivated, while spruce or mixed forest predominated in the Lausitzer Bergland.

traffic

By the county which ran highways 6 ( Dresden -Bautzen- Görlitz ), 96 ( Hoyerswerda -Bautzen- Zittau ), 98 (Bischofswerda- Oppach ) and 156 ( white water - Bautzen ). In addition, the federal motorway 4 (Dresden – Görlitz) ran over the area of ​​the district. In this there were six connection points, namely Burkau , Uhyst am Taucher , Salzenforst , Bautzen-West , Bautzen-Ost and Weißenberg . A commercial airport was in Litten east of Bautzen, a glider airport in Klix , about 12 kilometers north of the city. There were railway connections from Dresden to Görlitz via Bischofswerda and Bautzen (formerly the Saxon-Silesian Railway Company ) and the Bischofswerda – Zittau railway branching off (formerly part of the Cottbus Reich Railway Directorate ).

history

The district was given its shape as part of a Saxon district reform on August 1, 1994, when the former district of Bautzen was enlarged by the largest part of the Bischofswerda district . It was united by another district reform on August 1, 2008 with the district of Kamenz and the previously independent city of Hoyerswerda to form the new district of Bautzen .

politics

Horst Gallert (CDU) was the district administrator of the Bautzen district from 1994 to 2001 . Then Michael Harig (also CDU) held this office until the regional reform of 2008 .
