Location of the Delitzsch district in Saxony

The district of Delitzsch , together with the district of Torgau-Oschatz, was the northernmost district of the Free State of Saxony until 2008 . Former neighboring districts were the Saxony-Anhalt districts of Anhalt-Bitterfeld and Wittenberg in the north, the Torgau-Oschatz district in the east, the Muldental district in the south-east, the city ​​of Leipzig and the district of Leipziger Land in the south and the Saale district of Saxony-Anhalt in the west .

history

The area of ​​the district originally belonged to the electoral Saxon Leipzig district (mostly the offices of Delitzsch and Eilenburg ) and in 1815 became part of the Prussian province of Saxony . In 1816 the Prussian district of Delitzsch was established there, which existed in its form until the GDR district reform in 1952 and was then split into a district of Delitzsch and a district of Eilenburg .

The districts of Delitzsch and Eilenburg existed between 1952 and 1990 and were part of the GDR district of Leipzig .

On May 17, 1990, the districts were renamed according to the municipal law of the GDR in districts in the Free State of Saxony .

District of Delitzsch until 1994

Due to the district reform on August 1, 1994, the district of Delitzsch was united with the district of Eilenburg , but some parts of Eilenburg fell to the district of Torgau-Oschatz . On January 1, 1999, the cities of Schkeuditz and Taucha and the place Podelwitz from the district of Leipziger Land were added. After the district reform of Saxony in 2008 on August 1, 2008, the district of Delitzsch was dissolved and the area has since been part of the new district of Northern Saxony .
