Everything about The Province Of Saxony totally explained
The
Province of Saxony was a
province of the
Kingdom of Prussia and later the
Free State of Prussia from 1816 until 1945. Its capital was
Magdeburg.
History
The province was created in 1816 out of the following territories:
The Province of Saxony was one of the richest regions of Prussia with highly developed agriculture and industry. In 1932 the province was enlarged with the addition of the regions around
Ilfeld and
Elbingerode, which had previously been part of the
Province of Hanover.
On
1 July 1944, the Province of Saxony was divided along the lines of its three administrative regions. The Erfurt Regierungsbezirk was merged with the Herrschaft Schmalkalden district of the
Province of Hesse-Nassau to become the
Reichsstatthalter of the new state of
Thuringia. The Magdeburg Regierungsbezirk merged with the former state of
Anhalt to become the Gau of
Magdeburg and the Merseburg Regierungsbezirk became the Gau of
Halle-Merseburg, but the Gaue of Magdeburg and Halle-Merseburg were merged to reform the Province of Saxony in 1945.
Before the end of 1945, the reduced Province of Saxony was merged with some exclaves of the former state of
Brunswick to form the new state of Saxony-Anhalt. Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt were abolished in 1952, but were recreated after the
reunification of Germany in 1990 with some slight border changes as modern
states of Germany.
