Eckartsberga district
The district of Eckartsberga , until 1939 Eckartsberga , was a district that existed in Prussia and the SBZ or GDR between 1816 and 1952 in the area of today's Saxony-Anhalt and northern Thuringia . From 1950 to 1952 it was called the Kölleda district .
Administrative history
Kingdom of Prussia
As part of the Prussian administrative reforms after the Congress of Vienna , the Eckartsberga district was set up in the Merseburg administrative district in the province of Saxony on October 1, 1816 . It was essentially composed of the historical offices of Eckartsberga , Heldrungen and Sachsenburg . The district office was initially in Wiehe . On January 1, 1818, the village of Großmonra was reclassified from the Weissensee district to the Eckartsberga district. The district office was relocated to Kölleda in 1824 .
North German Confederation / German Empire
Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and from January 1, 1871 to the German Empire . On July 21, 1875, parts of the manor district of Memleben , monastery property on the left bank of the Unstrut were reclassified from the Querfurt district to the Eckartsberga district. At the same time, parts of the estate district of Domain Wendelstein on the right bank of the Unstrut from the Eckartsberga district entered the Querfurt district.
On September 30, 1929, a territorial reform took place in the Eckartsberga district, as in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which all independent manor districts were dissolved and allocated to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the Eckartsberga district was given the designation Landkreis in accordance with the now unified regulation . After the dissolution of the province of Saxony on July 1, 1944, the district belonged to the new province of Halle-Merseburg . In spring 1945 the district was occupied by the US Army.
GDR
On July 1, 1950, the GDR underwent a first regional reform, in the course of which the Eckartsberga district was renamed the Kölleda district and the communities of Hirschroda and Krawinkel ceded to the Querfurt district . At the same time, many smaller communities in the district were incorporated into larger neighboring communities.
In the course of the district reform of the GDR on July 25, 1952, the Kölleda district was dissolved:
- The Auerstedt community came to the new Apolda district .
- The towns of Heldrungen and Wiehe as well as the communities of Bilzingsleben , Bretleben , Donndorf , Etzleben , Gorsleben , Hauteroda , Hemleben , Kannawurf , Langenroda , Nausitz , Oberheldrungen , Reinsdorf and Sachsenburg became part of the new Artern district .
- The town of Eckartsberga and the communities of Burgheßler , Burgholzhausen , Burkersroda , Herrengosserstedt , Klosterhäseler , Tromsdorf and Wischroda came to the new Naumburg district .
- The city of Bad Bibra as well as the communities Billroda , Bucha , Kahlwinkel , Lossa , Memleben , Saubach , Steinburg and Wohlmirstedt came to the new Nebra district .
- The city of Kölleda and the communities of Bachra , Beichlingen , Büchel , Dermsdorf , Frohndorf , Griefstedt , Großmonra , Leubingen , Ostramondra , Roldisleben , Rothenberga , Schillingstedt and Stödten came to the new district of Sömmerda .
The districts of Artern, Naumburg and Nebra came to the new district of Halle and the districts of Apolda and Sömmerda to the new district of Erfurt .

Local constitution
The district of Eckartsberga was divided into cities, rural communities and - until their almost complete dissolution in 1929 - into independent manor districts. With the introduction of the Prussian Municipal Constitutional Act of December 15, 1933, there was a uniform municipal constitution for all Prussian municipalities from January 1, 1934. With the introduction of the German Municipal Code of January 30, 1935, a uniform municipal constitution came into force in the German Reich on April 1, 1935, according to which the previous rural municipalities were now referred to as municipalities . These were grouped together in administrative districts . A new district constitution was no longer created; The district regulations for the provinces of East and West Prussia, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia and Saxony from March 19, 1881 continued to apply.
