Record Group - 02.03.03.03 Official teams

With the law of 21 July 1873 on the organisation of the authorities for internal administration and the associated implementing ordinance of 20 August 1874, 25 official authorities were set up on 15 October 1874 in the four district administrations of Bautzen, Dresden, Leipzig and Zwickau. The separation of justice and administration at the lower level was thus finally completed.<br/><br/>The official authorities took over the tasks of the general administration of the court offices existing since 1856 and the older official authorities. They were thus responsible for all matters that were not dealt with by the municipalities or special authorities and acted, among other things, as building, river, hunting, trade, health and safety police authorities. In addition, the official police forces of Pirna, Dresden and Meissen were assigned special river police duties for the Elbe. Together with the district school inspector, later district school council, they were school supervisory authorities. They also took over the tasks of the Road and Hydraulic Engineering Commission. The administrative districts have been relocated several times and new administrative headquarters have been established. With the abolition of the Schönburg reign of power in 1878, the Glauchau official authority was founded. In 1910, the Stollberg official headquarters were added and in 1919 the Werdau official headquarters. In 1931, the official captains Dippoldiswalde, Oelsnitz/V. and Werdau were drafted.<br/><br/>Each official captain was assigned a district committee as a decisive and advisory body. The District Committee decided in administrative court matters on supporting residences and commitments to poor support, on appeals regarding voting rights and eligibility in public elections, and on disputes over contributions and personal benefits to the district, community, or for poor support purposes. Furthermore, it decided on applications for the granting of permits for the construction of commercial facilities, for the granting of permits for the operation of a restaurant or pub business and for the retail trade in spirits and spirits, for the prohibition of a commercial enterprise, for the granting of a certificate of identity for the traveling trade, on the necessity of public roads or established their publicity, and decided on dispensation applications in matters of dismembrance. The District Committee has advised on general police measures, advocacy of state aid for municipal road construction, the election of experts in expropriation cases, and the assessment of applications for the rectification of watercourses. In addition, each official head team was affiliated to a district association as a corporation under public law with the right of self-administration. Its main tasks were official welfare work, road and path construction, and transportation.<br/><br/>In the context of administrative unification in the German Reich, the term "Landkreis" (administrative district) was introduced for the official district on January 1, 1939, and "Landrat" (district administrator) for the official governor. According to the "Führerprinzip" his whole authority appeared under the name "Der Landrat". This authority structure existed until 1945. The Saxon official authorities were dissolved by the decree of 26 April 1946 on the establishment of district administrations. Until 1952, the general administrative tasks were carried out by the district councils.<br/><br/>The holdings of the official authorities partly contain files of the general administration of the court offices and other predecessor authorities. The holdings of the State Archives Leipzig also contain the files of the district associations of the official authorities. For the Chemnitz State Archives and the Dresden State Archives, on the other hand, reference is made to the separate "02.03.03.04 District Associations of the Official Headquarters" group.
