County-Free City Flags

Flaggen kreisfreier Städte

There are seven county-free cities (Kreisfreie Städte) in Saxony. I managed to find flags for four of them: Chemnitz, Dresden, Leipzig and Plauen. Falko Schmidt was kind enough to send me descriptions for the others: Görlitz, Hoyerswerda and Zwickau.

Jaume Ollé, 11 September 1999

The names of the municipalities contain a number of spelling mistakes, and some have become renamed or incorporated into other municipalities. This is a list of corrections/updates:

  • Annaberg: incorporated into Annaberg-Buchholz
  • Bärenstein: there are three locations with this name in Saxony, one of them is a city, Bärenstein im Osterzgebirge in the county Weißeritzkreis.
  • Bergiebrubel: I can only guess that this means Berggießhübel, a town which has become incorporated into Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel.
  • Brand: there are several of these: Brand bei Zwickau (part of Zwickau), Brand-Erbisdorf (town near Chemnitz) and Brand bei Hohnstein (part of Hohnstein).
  • Geising: the words nachwishar seit should read nachweisbar seit, meaning 'verifiable since'
  • Gottleuba: now part of Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel
  • Johlstadt: probably Jöhstadt (?)
  • Lauenstein: now part of Geising
  • Limbach: now part of Limbach-Oberfrohna
  • Neustadt: ambiguous, there are at least two towns of this name in Saxony: Neustadt in Sachsen, and Neustadt im Vogtland
  • Schandau: renamed to Bad Schandau
  • Tralheim: probably Thalheim is meant?
  • Wehlen: complete name Stadt Wehlen
  • Zoblitz: now part of Reichenbach/OL
