history
The Saxon State Archives were formed with effect from January 1, 2005 from the three independent state archives in Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz as well as the branch in Freiberg. At the same time, the archival department was spun off from the Saxon State Ministry of the Interior and renamed the “Central Tasks, Principle” area.
Until 2007 the authority was divided into four departments
- Main State Archive Dresden
- Chemnitz State Archives
- State Archive Leipzig (including the German Central Office for Genealogy )
- Freiberg mountain archive
By organizational decree of the Saxon State Ministry of the Interior of October 10, 2007, the company was restructured into five departments
- Central tasks / principle - including Section 13: Archive Center Hubertusburg (central workshop for the preservation of archive and library material as well as audiovisual media in Wermsdorf )
- Main State Archive Dresden
- Chemnitz State Archives
- State Archive Leipzig - including Section 33: German Central Office for Genealogy
