List of mayors of the city of Leipzig
From the hereditary post of mayor , the election office of the developed to the late 13th century mayor , the council members from the 12 Leipzig was determined. The council membership was for life, necessary by-elections took place once a year. Since the 14th century, three councils with 12 members each, each including a mayor, have alternated in an annual rhythm. This led to the 3-year cycle of the terms of office of many mayors, which is clearly visible in the table. The table shows the years in which the "active" period began (and lasted until the next year). Temporally different changes for various reasons were not absent. The basic principle was the annual change until the state and municipal reform of Saxony in 1830/31.
The office of mayor in Leipzig was first mentioned in a document in 1292. Since then, 139 names have been known for those who held this office, including those who were mayor of Leipzig from December 20, 1877 when Leipzig became a major city .
The list of the names of the mayors and mayors of Leipzig and their periods of reign is ordered from the current mayor, starting with the current mayor, in retrospect.
