Langensalza district
The district of Langensalza was a district in the Prussian province of Saxony from 1816 to 1945 and in the state of Thuringia in the SBZ and GDR from 1945 to 1950 . The district seat was in the city of Langensalza . In 1939 the district comprised three cities and 38 municipalities.
Administrative history
As part of the Prussian administrative reforms after the Congress of Vienna , the Langensalza district was established in the Erfurt administrative district of the province of Saxony on October 1, 1816 . The district office was in Langensalza. The district consisted of the former electoral office of Langensalza without the exclave of fences . In the same month, the communities Bothenheilingen and Bruchstedt transferred from the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen to Prussia and the Langensalza district. Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and from January 1, 1871 to the German Empire . In 1869 the desert brands Lingula, Sebeda and Hornbach moved from the Langensalza district to the Mühlhausen i. Th.
On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in the Langensalza district in line with developments in the rest of Prussia, in which all independent manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the Langensalza 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 continued to belong to the State of Prussia, but was now subordinate to the administration of the Reich Governor for Thuringia in Weimar - in alignment with the Reich Defense Districts . In the spring of 1945 the district was first occupied by the American armed forces and then part of the state of Thuringia in the Soviet occupation zone .
As part of the first district reform in the GDR , the district was dissolved in 1950 and divided into three neighboring districts:
- The town of Bad Tennstedt and the communities of Bruchstedt , Großvargula , Haussömmern , Hornsömmern , Kleinvargula and Mittelömmern came to the district of Erfurt .
- The community of Freienbessingen came to the district of Sondershausen .
- The entire remaining district area came to the district of Mühlhausen .
In 1952 there was an extensive administrative reform in the GDR , during which, among other things, the states of the GDR lost their importance and new districts were established. A new district of Langensalza was formed from communities in the districts of Erfurt, Gotha and Mühlhausen , which was assigned to the district of Erfurt . After the reunification of the two German states, the district became the district of Langensalza in 1990 in the re-established state of Thuringia , which was almost completely absorbed into the new Unstrut-Hainich district during the district reform of 1994 . Some communities fell to the Wartburg district and the district of Gotha .
