Boroughs and localities of Leipzig

Leipzig is divided into ten boroughs or districts (Stadtbezirke).

The administrative division of Leipzig has been formed over the centuries since the town charter from 1156/70.

From 1889 onwards, many neighbouring municipalities were incorporated into the city of Leipzig to form a city of localities (Stadtteil).

As the city gradually incorporated new localities, its area increased.

After German reunification, the Leipzig authorities carried out a territorial reform in 1992, dividing the city into ten boroughs (Stadtbezirk) comprising 63 localities (Ortsteil).
