history

Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach

Seal of the Grand Ducal Director of the III. Eisenach administrative district

The Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach was divided into five administrative districts in 1850, which were comparable in size to rural districts . The Eisenach administrative district, also called III. Designated administrative district , comprised the northern part of the former duchy of Saxony-Eisenach , which was also known as the Eisenach district in the 19th century .

In 1910 the Eisenach administrative district covered an area of ​​571 km² and had 77,112 inhabitants.

State of Thuringia

In 1918 the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach became the Free State of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach , which in turn became part of the State of Thuringia on May 1, 1920 . The Eisenach district was formed in 1922 as part of a comprehensive regional reform. The core of the new district formed the largest parts of the dissolved administrative districts Eisenach and Dermbach of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach. In addition, there were the former Saxon-Meiningian exclaves Bernshausen , Dietlas , Kaltenlengsfeld and Oberellen as well as the city of Ruhla and the communities of Deubach , Ebenshausen, Ettenhausen , Frankenroda, Hallungen, Hastrungsfeld , Kahlenberg , Kälberfeld , Lauterbach, Nazza, Neukirchen, Sättelstädt , Schönau an der Hörsel , Sondra and Thal from the disbanded District Office Waltershausen . The city of Eisenach became independent, but the seat of the district. The towns in the district were Berka / Werra , Creuzburg , Geisa , Ruhla, Kaltennordheim , Stadtlengsfeld and Vacha , plus 150 other communities. In 1925 the district had 96,525 and the city of Eisenach 43,385 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 108,328 and 53,116 in an area of ​​1173 km². The city of Eisenach covered 24.55 km². The seat of the district administration was in the former Hotel "Grand Duke of Saxony" in Eisenach Bahnhofstrasse 38 , directly across from the Eisenacher station set up.

SBZ and GDR

On July 1, 1946, the district of Mühlhausen i. Th. Belonging part of Schnellmannshausen as well as the communities Birx , Frankenheim / Rhön and Melpers reclassified from the district of Meiningen to the district of Eisenach. In 1950 the district including the city of Eisenach had 129,478 inhabitants.

Due to the law to change the district and community boundaries , Eisenach lost its status as an independent city on July 1, 1950 and became part of the district. At the same time, the city of Treffurt and the communities of Falken and Großburschla moved from the Mühlhausen district to the Eisenach district. In return, the Hallungen community moved from the Eisenach district to the Mühlhausen district. The new Bad Salzungen district was formed from the southern part of the Eisenach district with the Eisenacher Oberland around Dermbach, Geisa and Vacha .

During the administrative reform of 1952 in the GDR , the Hallungen community returned from the Mühlhausen district to the Eisenach district, which then continued to exist as the Eisenach district in the new Erfurt district . The Bad Salzungen district was assigned to the new Suhl district .
