The district of Central Saxony is a district in the Free State of Saxony , which was created on August 1, 2008 as part of the Saxon district reform in 2008 .
The district extends over the area of the previous districts of Döbeln , Freiberg and Mittweida . It borders in the west on the district of Altenburger Land ( Free State of Thuringia ), in the southwest on the Saxon district of Zwickau and the independent city of Chemnitz , in the south on the Saxon Ore Mountains and the Czech Republic , in the east on the Saxon districts of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains and Meissen , in the north to the district of North Saxony and in the northwest to the district of Leipzig . The seat of the district of central Saxony is in Freiberg .
geography
The district extends from the central Saxon hill country in the north over the Erzgebirge foothills to the heights of the Eastern Ore Mountains . The north cuts through the A 14 between Leisnig and Döbeln , south of it the A 4 between Frankenberg and Siebenlehn . In the east, the Tharandt Forest and, in the west, the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde near Penig and the independent city of Chemnitz mark the edge of the district. To the south the district extends to the Ore Mountains ridge, over which the border between Germany and the Czech Republic runs.
In this district or immediately outside the district boundaries, there are center points of the Free State and the former Kingdom of Saxony calculated using various methods .
The heights of the slightly undulating plateau in the northern part, but the more turbulent landscape in the southern part , ranged from 140 m above sea level. NN (valley of the Freiberg Mulde near Leisnig as the lowest point) to 855 m above sea level ( on the border with the Czech Republic near Neuhausen in the Ore Mountains as the highest point). The largest elevation is the Kohlberg at 837 m , one km west of the highest point.
The most important bodies of water are the Zwickauer and Freiberg Mulde , the Zschopau with the Kriebstein dam , the Bobritzsch , the Striegis with its source rivers Große and Kleine Striegis , the Gimmlitz with the Lichtenberg dam and the Flöha with the Rauschenbach dam . The rivers, mostly still as the upper or middle reaches , are cut into the surrounding terrain with their winding and strongly pronounced notch and notch bottom valleys to the north . Thus they represented serious obstacles for the west-east running traffic routes from time immemorial up to the 19th century , while they provided access to the mountains in the north-south direction. In its southern part, the district is part of the Erzgebirge / Vogtland Nature Park .
The mining heaps that are still visible today , the so-called trains between Halsbrücke , Freiberg and Brand-Erbisdorf, are notable on the old ore veins . Artificial ponds and Art trenches to Freiberg, Brand-Erbisdorf and Großhartmannsdorf presented with their trench and Rosch system , the water supply and disposal of ore mining for centuries safely, including the Rothschönberger Stolln , the Brander and Freiberger mining on the Triebisch the Elbe drained out.
Across districts, at the beginning of the 21st century a zone of urbanization tended to emerge with the cities of Nossen in the district of Meißen , Roßwein , Großschirma , the cities of Freiberg and Brand-Erbisdorf . In 2004 this comprised about 75,000 inhabitants.
In the north of the district the land that adjoins the loess zone of the Lommatzscher care is covered by arable land , meadows and forests . The geo-ecological border between hill country and mountain country lies roughly on the line Seifersdorf - Großschirma - Sand - Oberschaar - Herrndorf - Landberg im Tharandt forest ( Weißeritzkreis ). Spruce forest predominantly grows on the stony plateaus , while mainly deciduous forest grows on the steep valley slopes . The further south you go, the more the proportion of arable land decreases, mountain meadows dominate and in the far south near the rugged ridge areas that are guaranteed to snow in winter there is closed spruce forest. The floors set in the north of loess and loam , south facing more and more of residual soils together.

coat of arms
In order to find a coat of arms for the newly created district, the Heraldic Society "Black Lion" in Leipzig and the graphic studio Eberhard Heinicker from Geringswalde were commissioned by the district administrator to submit various designs at the beginning of September 2008. A total of six different designs were submitted, three of which were available in two different colors. On June 10, 2009, the district council decided to accept a draft of the Heraldic Society "Black Lion". The coat of arms is quartered, the Meissen lion (black on a yellow background) stands on the top left for the Margraviate of Meissen , to which the three old districts belonged. To the right of this is the mountain iron (yellow on a black background) , which stands for the old Freiberg district and the mining region. At the bottom left the design shows three blue waves on a yellow background, which are taken from the old coat of arms of the Mittweida district , and at the bottom right there are three black alarm clocks on a yellow background, which are borrowed from the Leisnig coat of arms from the former Döbeln district .

railroad
With the Dresden – Freiberg – Chemnitz – Werdau , Riesa – Döbeln – Chemnitz , Neukieritzsch – Chemnitz and Borsdorf – Döbeln – Coswig routes, four main lines run through the Central Saxony district.
Long- distance passenger rail trains do not run in the district, they can only be reached by changing trains at Dresden Hbf , Riesa , Elsterwerda or Leipzig Hbf . The supraregional connection between Dresden and Nuremberg via Freiberg and Flöha, which was last marketed as the Franken-Sachsen-Express until 2014 , was broken in Hof in order to be able to travel between Dresden, Freiberg, Flöha and Hof with electric traction and barrier-free vehicles. In addition to the aforementioned long-distance train stations, regional trains such as Chemnitz , Zwickau , Plauen and Hof can be reached with local trains from the district of central Saxony , as well as regional destinations such as Olbernhau , Annaberg-Buchholz and Grimma . The district town of Freiberg is also integrated into the Dresden S-Bahn network. Burgstädt , Mittweida , Frankenberg and Hainichen are integrated into the Chemnitz model and are served by the Chemnitz City Railway .
The once extensive rail network was thinned out considerably by Deutsche Bahn before the 2008 district reform . Entire railway junctions such as Rochlitz with the Glauchau – Rochlitz – Wurzen , Rochlitz – Penig and Waldheim – Rochlitz lines were closed. Other nodes such as Nossen and Freiberg have lost significant importance. Today, with the routes Nossen-Holzhau , Berthelsdorf-Brand-Erbisdorf , Flöha-Marienberg , Pockau-Lengefeld-Neuhausen , Hainichen-Niederwiesa and Hartmannsdorf-Wittgensdorf , some branch lines in the Ore Mountains and Ore Mountains Foreland are still in operation, even if not all sections regularly in passenger traffic to be served. Some of these routes are maintained by non-federal railway infrastructure companies .
The entire district is part of the Central Saxony transport association .

License Plate
On August 1, 2008, the district was assigned the FG distinctive sign , which has been valid for the Freiberg district since January 1, 1991 . The decision to leave it with the distinctive sign FG instead of the also possible MSN and MFG was made on October 29, 2008 in a vote in the new district council with a narrow majority of 44 to 40 votes. There was great resistance to this. Rocco Werner, businessman from Döbelner and chairman of the Döbelner FDP, founded the citizens' initiative Pro MSN . The aim of the initiative was to get a referendum on the MSN label by collecting signatures. At the beginning of March 2009, the Freiberg FDP chairman Benjamin Karabinski , the chairman of the Central Saxony JU , Sebastian Hamann, and the technician Steffen Fischer founded a non-partisan initiative in Freiberg to maintain the FG label . The initiators reacted to the repeated demands of the MSN advocates to use the abbreviation MSN without public participation . In this case, the Pro FG initiative threatened to launch its own petition to rename the district to the Freiberg district.
The district council then decided on March 11, 2009 to let all central Saxony vote on the license plate in a referendum on June 7, 2009. Six district councilors - including Freiberg's Lord Mayor Bernd-Erwin Schramm (non-party) - abstained from voting. With a turnout of 56.67% on June 7, 2009, 52.67% of the voters voted against the MSN number and thus in favor of retaining the FG number .
The distinguishing marks BED (Brand-Erbisdorf), DL (Döbeln), FLÖ (Flöha), HC (Hainichen), MW (Mittweida) and RL (Rochlitz) have been available since November 9, 2012 .
Trivia
