The district of Hildburghausen was a district in Saxony-Meiningen and Thuringia from 1868 to 1952 . The district seat was in Hildburghausen .

history

When the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen was reorganized in 1869, the Hildburghausen district was formed from the administrative offices of Hildburghausen and Römhild as one of four districts. The other three districts were Saalfeld , Sonneberg and Meiningen . In 1918 the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen became a free state, which in 1920 became part of the new state of Thuringia . In Thuringia, a comprehensive regional reform took place in 1922, during which the Hildburghausen district remained largely unchanged and only gave the Meiningian portion of Neustadt am Rennsteig to the Arnstadt district .

During the first regional reform in the GDR in 1950, the Masserberg community moved from the Arnstadt district to the Hildburghausen district. At the same time there was an exchange of territory with the district of Suhl . The district of Hildburghausen gave the communities of Marisfeld , Oberstadt and Schmeheim to the district of Suhl and in return the town of Schleusingen and 22 other communities moved to the district of Hildburghausen.

During the territorial reform of 1952 , the Hildburghausen district gave the town of Schleusingen and several other communities back to the Suhl district ; in addition, the city of Römhild and a few other communities moved to the Meiningen district . The remaining district was transferred to the Hildburghausen district in the Suhl district .
