Greiz (district)
Greiz is a Kreis (district) in the east of Thuringia, Germany. Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Saale-Holzland, Saale-Orla, district-free city Gera, the Burgenlandkreis in Saxony-Anhalt, Altenburger Land, and the two Saxon districts Zwickau and Vogtlandkreis. History Historically the area of the district was part of the ''Vogtland'', named after the title ''Vogt'' given to the local rulers in the 13th century. Only two lines of the ''Reuß'' family survived from that time, with one principality based in Greiz, and the other in Gera and Schleiz. In 1919 both were merged into the ''Volksstaat Reuß'', which then became part of Thuringia in 1920. A subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp was located at Berga/Elster during World War II. It was an SS joint venture, in which inmates dug tunnels and laid railway tracks for the Schwalbe V project.Edward Victor.
