The Leipziger Kreis was a historical territory of the Electorate of Saxony, which was converted into a kingdom in 1806 .
Geographical expansion
Today, the area of the Leipziger Kreis belongs for the most part to the Free State of Saxony and a smaller part to the State of Saxony-Anhalt . Landscapes in a circle are u. a. part of the Leipzig lowland bay , the Dübener Heide and the central Saxon hill country . The Mulde flowed through the district with its tributaries Zwickauer Mulde , Zschopau and Freiberger Mulde . Other rivers that flowed through the district were the White Elster with its tributaries Pleiße and Parthe .
An exclave of the circle formed in the northwest of the Office Zörbig and part of the Office Delitzsch , which just about to Kurkreis associated Office Bitterfeld with Electorate was associated.

history
The Leipzig district was created as one of five districts through the enactment of the chancellery regulations on August 5, 1547 by Elector Moritz . The offices of Altenburg, Borna, Colditz, Delitzsch, Düben, Eilenburg, Grimma, Leipzig, Leisnig, Naunhof, Pegau, Rochlitz, Schmölln and Zörbig were initially assigned to the Leipzig district. Through the Naumburg Treaty of 1554, the offices of Altenburg and Schmölln came back into Ernestine possession. From 1582 further areas were purchased and the Mutzschen office was formed.
As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the Leipziger Kreis lost the offices of Delitzsch, Düben, Eilenburg, Lützen, Schkeuditz and Zörbig to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 . With the dissolution of the Wurzen monastery in 1818, the offices of Wurzen, Mügeln and Sornzig became part of the district.
The remains of the Leipzig circle went in 1835 in the District Directorate of Leipzig with the Office Bezirkshauptmannschaften Leipzig , Rochlitz , Grimma and Döbeln on.
