Circle history: The main component of the hall circle formed in 1816 was the old hall circle of the Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg without the part of the city circle formed at the same time as Halle and without the towns that reached the districts of Bitterfeld and Delitzsch. In addition there were six villages of the Electoral Saxon offices Delitzsch and Merseburg, which were ceded to Prussia in 1815. In the French Westphalian period, the district area belonged to the Halle district of the Saaledepatement. The seat of the district office and the later district administration was Halle. In 1828 the Saalkreis was enlarged by a part of the Stadtkreis Halle and received Gimritz, Giebichenstein, Diemitz, Freiimfelde, Wörmlitz with Malteritz, Böllberg with the Rabeninsel and the vineyards. The period of integration of the Saalkreis municipalities into the town of Halle began in 1888 with the cession of the Freiimfelde estate. He was followed in 1900 by Kröllwitz, Giebichenstein, Trotha and Gimritz, 1907-1920 by Nietleben, Lettin and Tafelwerder, 1928 by Dölauer Heide, Forstwerder and parts of Lettin (Brandberge). Minor border changes took place in 1891 and 1937 against the city district of Halle and 1931-1933 against the Anhalt district of Köthen. The rest of the district remained unchanged until 1950. During the district reform of June 1950, the district received 57 municipalities from the Mansfeld Seekreis and the districts of Delitzsch, Bitterfeld and Merseburg, but had to cede 13 municipalities to the city district of Halle (Ammendorf, Büschdorf, Bruckdorf, Diemitz, Dölau, Kanena, Mötzlich, Nietleben, Reideburg, Seeben, Tornau and Wörmlitz-Böllberg) and 10 municipalities to the districts of Bernburg, Köthen and Merseburg. Inventory information: In 1966, the Magdeburg State Archives took over only a small part of the holdings from the district archives of the Saalkreis, which essentially consisted of files from the 20th century. The order was completed at the beginning of 1967. An addendum to the Magdeburg State Archives, which was adopted in the years 1967/1968 in particular within the framework of the recording of the files of the district administrations 1945-1952, has not yet been catalogued. With the establishment of the Merseburg State Archive and the delimitation of the holdings between the Magdeburg and Merseburg State Archives, the holdings were transferred to the local archive in 1994.
