Formation of the circle

The Graefenhainichen district in the Halle district of the GDR was formed on July 25, 1952 as part of the administrative reform of 1952 .

The districts of Wittenberg (W), Bitterfeld (B) and Köthen (K) had to give up 3 cities and 27 municipalities to the new district.

Renaming and end of the district

On May 17, 1990, the district was renamed the Graefenhainichen district. After the end of the GDR, the dissolution of the Halle district and the re-establishment of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the Graefenhainichen district existed until June 30, 1994.

Dissolution of the circle

As part of the district reform of Saxony-Anhalt in 1994 , the Graefenhainichen district was dissolved again.

  • The communities Kleutzsch and Sollnitz were incorporated into Dessau .
  • The cities of Oranienbaum and Wörlitz and the communities of Brandhorst, Gohrau, Griesen, Horstdorf, Kakau, Rehsen, Riesigk and Vockerode fell to the district of Anhalt-Zerbst .
  • The city of Graefenhainichen and all other communities came to the district of Wittenberg . The Gremmin community no longer exists. The residents were resettled as early as 1982 and the community was dredged over ( Golpa-Nord opencast mine ).

The district of Graefenhainichen was connected to the GDR's motorway network through the Vockerode and Dessau-Ost junction ( Autobahn Berliner Ring – Hirschberg ). The trunk roads F 100 (Bitterfeld – Graefenhainichen– Eutzsch ) and F 107 (Wörlitz – Graefenhainichen– Bad Düben ) crossed in the district town.

The Berlin – Halle line with the Bergwitz, Radis and Graefenhainichen stations crossed the district.

License Plate

After 1952, the vehicles registered in the district were given license plates beginning with the letter K (as in the entire GDR district of Halle). License plates with the initial letter V were added later. Motor vehicles (with the exception of motorcycles) and trailers were assigned three-letter distinguishing signs from around 1974 to the end of 1990, beginning with the letter pairs KH and VH . The last number plate series used for motorcycles was VL 50-01 to VL 99-99 .
