history

The administrative community was originally founded as the Hartmannsdorf administrative community on April 22, 1991. On October 11, 1994, the name was then changed to the Elstertal administrative community . On March 15, 1996, the second renaming to the administrative community Heideland-Elstertal took place through the inclusion of the communities Heideland and Walpernhain from the dissolved administrative community Auf der Heide . On March 15, 2004, Seifartsdorf left the administrative community and was incorporated into Silbitz . With the accession of the city of Schkölen on January 1, 2012, the administrative community received its current name.

Bad Köstritzer change will

In a referendum on September 18, 2005, the citizens of Bad Köstritz , Caaschwitz and Hartmannsdorf (near Gera) (all district of Greiz ) decided with a clear majority (71.9%) to switch to the administrative community and the Saale-Holzland- Circle, u. a. to forestall the threat of incorporation into Gera . However, the official implementation has not been completed since then.

As part of the functional and territorial reform in Thuringia , the then Interior Minister Holger Poppenhäger made it clear in September 2016 that the merger of Crossen and Bad Köstritz, which already form a common base center, could be implemented. However, this was not pursued further.
