'''Stollberg''' is a district in
Saxony,
Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the district-free city
Chemnitz, and the districts
Mittlerer Erzgebirgskreis,
Annaberg,
Aue-Schwarzenberg,
Zwickauer Land and
Chemnitzer Land.
History
The district dates back to the ''Amtshauptmannschaft Stollberg'', which was established in
1910. In
1939 it was renamed to ''Landkreis''. In
1950 the district was dissolved and its municipalities were assigned to the neighboring districts Aue, Chemnitz and Zwickau. However two years later in another reform the district was recreated, only with a slightly different layout. In the communal reform of
1994 the district was enlarged by some municipalities from the district Chemnitz, and the city Zwönitz from the district Aue.
Geography
The district is located on the northwestern slope of the
Ore Mountains.
Partnerships
Since 1990 the district has a partnership with the district
Fürth (district) Fürth in
Bavaria.

The colours of the right side are also identical with those of Meissen, as another part of the district historically belonged to the County of Meissen.
