The second administrative district comprised the eastern part of the former duchy of Saxony-Weimar , which was also known as the Weimar district in the 19th century . Until 1868 the administrative district was called Weimar II and had its seat in Weimar , after which it was referred to as the administrative district Apolda and had its seat in Apolda. The exclaves Oldisleben and Allstedt also belonged to the administrative district .
