came into force.

Background

In April 1991, the state government decided to implement a district reform in Saxony. The target for the districts to be formed was a minimum population of 125,000. The state government introduced an initial legislative proposal into the legislative process on June 29, 1992. This was preceded by hearings with the affected districts and associations. It envisaged the creation of six independent cities and 23 districts. During the legislative process, the districts' boundaries were changed several times. The final result deviated from the original draft in many cases. Several districts subsequently filed lawsuits against the law with the Constitutional Court of Saxony. The lawsuits concerned the dissolution of the Dresden-Land district and the creation of the Meißen-Dresden and

and the West Lusatia district; the dissolution of the Plauen, Oelsnitz, Reichenbach, Auerbach, and Klingenthal districts and the creation of an Elstertal district and a Göltzschtal district; and the location of the district offices of the Leipziger Land district and the Lower Silesian Upper Lusatia district. The corresponding court rulings were handed down in June/July 1994. Because the court criticized deficiencies, in particular, in the consultation/participation of the plaintiff districts during the legislative process, the law was partially declared invalid. The state government was therefore forced to improve the district reform through three amending laws.

Amending laws

:* 1. District Reform Amendment Act of 6 September 1995 concerns the changes in the districts of Meißen-Radebeul and Westlausitz-Dresdner Land. :* 2. District Reform Amendment Act of 6 September 1995 concerns the formation of the Vogtland district :* 3.
