Saxony County

Saxony is divided into three Direktionsbezirke Chemnitz, Dresden, Leipzig which are subdivided into 10 districts. Saxony has a long history as a duchy, an electorate of the Holy Roman Empire, and eventually as a kingdom (the Kingdom of Saxony). Its monarchy was overthrown in 1918 and a republican form of government was established under its current name subsequent to Germany's defeat in World War I. Abolished during communist rule, it was re-established on 3 October 1990 during the re-unification of East and West Germany.
