history

Saxony-Altenburg

The Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg in the German Empire consisted of two separate parts of the country, the western district around Kahla , Roda and Eisenberg and the eastern district around Altenburg , Schmölln and Ronneburg . In 1876 the two administrative districts Altenburg and Schmölln were established in the eastern district. In 1881 the administrative district of Schmölln was dissolved again and its area was incorporated into the administrative district of Altenburg, which in 1900 covered an area of ​​657 km² and had 138,561 inhabitants.

When the state was reorganized on April 1, 1900, the city of Altenburg became independent and the other communities in the eastern district were divided between the two district offices of Altenburg and Ronneburg . The Altenburg District Office, based in Altenburg, covered an area of ​​360 km² in 1910 and had 61,950 inhabitants in 169 communities.

State of Thuringia

In 1918 the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg became the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which in turn became part of the State of Thuringia on May 1, 1920 . A comprehensive regional reorganization on October 1, 1922, was the district Altenburg formed. It was made up of the entire Altenburg district office except for the communities of Drescha , Kauerndorf , Rasephas and Zschernitzsch , which were incorporated into the city of Altenburg, and the eastern part of the Ronneburg district office. The western part of the Ronneburg District Office with the city of Ronneburg became part of the new district of Gera . The city of Altenburg became the seat of the district of Altenburg.

The community of Selka moved from the Altenburg district to the Gera district on January 1, 1927, as did the Vollmershain community on October 1, 1927. On April 1, 1928, an area was swapped with Saxony. The Altenburg district gave its communities Neukirchen , Rußdorf , Waldsachsen , Untergötzenthal , Wickersdorf and splinter areas in Harthau and Gähsnitz to Saxony and received the Saxon shares of the communities Bocka , Frohnsdorf , Heiersdorf , Kauritz and Thonhausen .

The four towns in the district were Gößnitz , Lucka , Meuselwitz and Schmölln , plus 170 other communities (as of 1939).

GDR

On August 1, 1946, the Selka community moved from the Gera district to the Altenburg district. On July 1, 1950, Altenburg lost its status as an independent city and became part of the district. At the same time, the community of Mumsdorf northwest of Meuselwitz, which formed an exclave in the Zeitz district in Saxony-Anhalt , was reclassified into it. In return, the Bröckau community moved from the Zeitz district to the Altenburg district.

During the administrative reform of 1952 in the GDR, a new district structure was created in Altenburger Land:

• The north-east of the district with the cities of Altenburg and Meuselwitz formed the district of Altenburg .
• The southeast of the district with the cities of Gößnitz and Schmölln, supplemented by the communities of the districts of Gera, Zeitz and Zwickau , formed the new district of Schmölln .
• Both districts were assigned to the Leipzig district , which otherwise largely consisted of former Saxon areas.

The communities Gähsnitz and Ziegelheim (with the districts Uhlmannsdorf and Niederarnsdorf ) from the district of Glauchau were also added to the district of Altenburg. In December 1952, the community of Thräna moved from the Altenburg district to the Borna district and the Steinbach community to the Geithain district . The current district of Altenburger Land has a similar area layout as the old district of Altenburg.

Population development

In 1925 the district had 95,547 and the city of Altenburg 42,570 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 90,753 and 45,849 on an area of ​​486.53 km² in 1925 and 472.87 km² in 1939. The city of Altenburg covered 17.23 km². In 1950 the district (including the city of Altenburg) had 158,941 inhabitants.
