Zeitz district

This article deals with the Prussian district of Zeitz. For the Zeitz district in the GDR and the successor Zeitz district in the Federal Republic, see Zeitz district .

The district of Zeitz , until 1901 Kreis Zeitz , was a district in Prussia and the state of Saxony-Anhalt of the SBZ or GDR . The district seat was the city of Zeitz , which was independent from 1901 to 1950 . After the administrative reform in the GDR from 1952, there was a Zeitz district in the Halle district of the GDR until 1990 .

history

Kingdom and Free State of Prussia

Coat of arms of the Zeitz district from 1993 to 1994

After large parts of the Kingdom of Saxony were assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna , the latter assigned the new acquisitions to the Province of Saxony , which was formed by ordinance of April 30, 1815 . The new division of the lower administrative authorities took place in the course of the year 1816. The Zeitz office of the former Electoral Saxon monastery Naumburg-Zeitz was assigned to the administrative district of Merseburg in its delineation, which has been handed down since the Middle Ages , and from October 1, 1816 as the new Zeitz district .

On April 1, 1901, the city of Zeitz was spun off and thus independent. The district has since been called the Zeitz district . There was no change for the district area from the dissolution of the Province of Saxony, which was decreed on July 1, 1944, and the administrative district of Merseburg was converted into the new Province of Halle-Merseburg .

Occupation and GDR

After the end of the war, the city and district of Zeitz belonged to the province of Saxony-Anhalt formed by the Soviet occupying power , which in 1947 - after the dissolution of the Prussian state - became the state of Saxony-Anhalt .

On July 1, 1950, the GDR underwent its first regional reform:

• The Zeitz district was dissolved and reunited with the Zeitz district
• The cities of Osterfeld and Schkölen as well as the communities of Deuben , Dobergast , Döbris , Döschwitz , Droyßt , Goldschau , Kämmeritz , Kleinhelmsdorf , Kretzschau , Lindau , Luckenau , Löbitz , Meineweh , Mutschau , Nautschütz , Nonnewitz , Podebuls-Wetterzeube , Pötewitz, Theißen , Trebnitz ./Elster, Unterkaka , Waldau , Weickelsdorf , Weißenborn and Wettaburg moved from the district of Weißenfels to the district of Zeitz.
• The municipality of Mumsdorf , which until then had formed a Thuringian enclave in the Zeitz district, moved from the Altenburg district to the Zeitz district.
• In return, the Bröckau communities (with Hohenkirchen) moved from the Zeitz district to the Altenburg district.

The reallocation of the administration in the GDR on July 26, 1952 led to further changes of the area:

• The communities of Deuben, Dobergast, Döbris, Mutschau and Trebnitz a./Elster came to the new Hohenmölsen district .
• The communities Goldschau, Löbitz and Wettaburg came to the new Naumburg district .
• The cities of Crossen an der Elster and Schkölen as well as the communities of Kämmeritz, Lindau, Nautschütz and Silbitz came to the new Eisenberg district in the Gera district .
• The Naundorf community came to the new Altenburg district in the Leipzig district .
• The remaining communities formed the Zeitz district , which, like the Hohenmölsen, Naumburg and Weißenfels districts , was assigned to the new Halle district .

As part of a subsequent correction of the territorial reform of the summer of 1952, the municipalities of Falkenhain , Mumsdorf and Zipsendorf moved to the Altenburg district in the Leipzig district on December 4, 1952 .

On January 1, 1956, the municipality of Bröckau from the Schmölln district (Leipzig district) was re-incorporated into the Zeitz district, to which it had belonged until 1950. On January 1, 1957, the Goldschau community was reclassified from the Naumburg district. Since then, the scope of the district has remained unchanged until the district reform of 1994. However, numerous changes in the population of the communities followed as a result of incorporations.

Re-establishment of Saxony-Anhalt and German unity

On October 3, the Land Introduction Act of July 22, 1990 came into force. With the accession of the GDR to the Federal Republic of Germany, the new state of Saxony-Anhalt was created. The Zeitz district became the Zeitz district again. In 1994 the Zeitz district became part of the newly founded Burgenland district based in Naumburg (Saale) . When it was dissolved, the district of Zeitz still comprised 38 communities, two of which (Zeitz and Osterfeld) were called "city".
