Görlitz, Administrative district in eastern Saxony, Germany

The Görlitz district spans 2,111 square kilometers across eastern Saxony, containing multiple municipalities and natural areas along the Polish border.

The district formed on August 1, 2008, through the combination of former districts Lower Silesia-Upper Lusatia and Löbau-Zittau with the city of Görlitz.

The region maintains strong connections to Upper Lusatian and Silesian heritage, reflected in local dialects, festivals, and architectural styles throughout the district.

The district provides administrative services through multiple offices in Görlitz, Bad Muskau, Löbau, Zittau, and Weißwasser for its 249,681 residents.

Vehicle registration plates in the district use six different codes: GR, LÖB, NOL, NY, WSW, and ZI, reflecting the merged territories' historical distinctions.
