History
The first Free State of Saxony came into being in 1918 after King Frederick Augustus III abdicated and the Kingdom of Saxony was dissolved. In 1945, the state of Saxony was created as part of the Soviet-occupied zone and included the territory of the former Free State and parts of the Prussian province of Silesia west of the Neisse River. In 1952 the state of Saxony was dissolved and divided into three smaller districts of the German Democratic Republic (GDR): Leipzig, Dresden and Chemnitz (which would later be renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt).
The federal state of Saxony was re-established via the constitutional article for the formation of federal states in the former GDR of 22 July 1990. The law came into effect on October 3, 1990 (Day of German Reunification). With the accession of the GDR to the constitutional territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the state of Saxony again became the Free State of Saxony.
