Leipzig is divided into ten boroughs or districts (). The boroughs are further divided into localities (). The administrative division of Leipzig has been formed over the centuries since the town charter from 1156/70. From 1889 onwards, many neighbouring municipalities were incorporated into the city of Leipzig to form a city of localities (Stadtteil). From 1889 to 1925, the district of Leipzig lost 32 municipalities by incorporation into the city of Leipzig., no ISBN, no year (ca. 1996, before the incorporations of Althen, Baalsdorf, Böhlitz-Ehrenberg, Burghausen, Engelsdorf, Holzhausen, Kleinpösna, Knautnaundorf, Lausen, Liebertwolkwitz, Lindenthal, Lützschena, Miltitz, Mölkau, Plaußig, Rückmarsdorf, Seehausen, Stahmeln and Wiederitzsch into the city of Leipzig). There are about a hundred of localities, depending on how you count them. As the city gradually incorporated new localities, its area increased.
After German reunification, the Leipzig authorities carried out a territorial reform in 1992, dividing the city into ten boroughs (Stadtbezirk) comprising 63 localities (Ortsteil). Until that, there were seven boroughs. These new localities do not always correspond to the previous localities. In order to achieve administrative and demographic standardization, some localities were divided into several localities, others were grouped into a single locality.
