A Quick Look at History
The Löbau-Zittau district was created in 1994. This happened when two older districts, Löbau and Zittau, decided to join together. Later, in 2008, the district changed again. The independent city of Görlitz (which was a city that managed itself) became part of the district. This made the area even bigger.
