Cities of the Saalkreis in the Duchy of Magdeburg (blue) around 1790, background: map of today's Saxony-Anhalt (gray)

The holdings of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg in the area of ​​Halle were summarized under the name "Saalkreis" , which since 1680 belonged to Brandenburg-Prussia with the now secular Duchy of Magdeburg . In 1790 the Saalkreis comprised the following cities and communities:

In 1807, in the Peace of Tilsit , Prussia also lost the Saalkreis to the French Empire , from which the Prussian areas on the middle Elbe were assigned to the newly founded Kingdom of Westphalia . There the district area belonged to the newly formed Halle district of the Saale department .

Prussian Province of Saxony

After Napoleon's defeat, the Prussian king and his "old provinces" took possession of the hall again. In 1815, the province of Saxony was formed from this "old property" from the time before 1807 and the Saxon areas acquired due to the regulations of the Congress of Vienna , and the district of Merseburg was restored as the lower administrative authority on October 1, 1816 with modified borders:

The district office of the Saalkreis was initially in Wettin .

On November 10, 1819, the vineyards between Gimritz and Passendorf, the Gimritzer and the Kreuzschäferei, the Freiimfelde manor and the village of Wörmlitz were reclassified into the Halle district.

On July 1, 1828, the rural part of the Halle urban district, including the villages of Böllberg, Diemitz, Giebichenstein and Wörmlitz, returned to the Saalkreis. On October 1, 1833, the district office was relocated from Wettin to Halle.

From July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation as part of the Kingdom of Prussia and to the German Empire from January 1, 1871 . On August 10, 1876, the Freiimfelde manor district was incorporated from the Saalkreis to Halle. On April 1, 1900, the rural communities of Cröllwitz , Giebichenstein and Trotha and the Gimritz manor district transferred from the Saalkreis to Halle.

On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in the Saalkreis, in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which all independent manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities.

The municipality of Ammendorf received town charter on December 15, 1937. On April 1, 1942, the community of Löbnitz an der Linde, which had previously belonged to the Saalkreis, was reclassified to the Dessau-Köthen district of the State of Anhalt to eliminate exclaves .

As part of the former administrative district of Merseburg , the district has belonged to the new province of Halle-Merseburg since the dissolution of the Province of Saxony with effect from July 1, 1944 . In the spring of 1945, the district was initially occupied by US forces.

GDR

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

During the district and district reform in the GDR in 1952, the delimitation was changed slightly again:

Federal Republic of Germany

After reunification , the Saalkreis belonged to the Halle administrative district of Saxony-Anhalt. During the district reform of 1994 , the Dornstedt community moved from the Querfurt district to the Saalkreis. On August 1, 2004, the three municipalities of Döllnitz , Hohenweiden and Lochau left the Saalkreis and were incorporated into the municipality of Schkopau in what was then the district of Merseburg-Querfurt . As part of the district reform of 2007 , the Saalkreis was merged with the Merseburg-Querfurt district to form the Saalekreis .
