Everything about Mei En District totally explained

Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of

History
The district dates back to the
Amt Meißen, which was first mentioned in
1334. The district was ruled by the
Wettin dynasty.
The
Margraves of Meißen created the administrative division (
Amt) in the
13th century. In
1835 the
Amt was converted into an
Amtshauptmannschaft, with the area of the current district covered by the
Amtshauptmannschaften Meißen, Dresden and Großenhain. In 1939, these were renamed
Landkreise (districts). In the administrative reform of 1952, several municipalities were transferred to the districts of Freiberg and Döbeln. In 1990, the old district borders were restored, and in
1996 parts of the district Dresden-Land were added to the district to give it its current size.
Geography
The main river of the district is the
Elbe, which also flows through the city of Meißen.
