Note: "The district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) was a Prussian district which existed from 1816 to 1947. Today, the territory of the district is split between Germany and Poland by the Lusatian Neisse.

When it was founded, there were two towns in the district, Muskau in the north and Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) in the south. After the Sagan district was dissolved, its western part, including the town of Priebus was transferred to the Rothenburg district in 1932. Weißwasser and Niesky received town charters in 1935.

After World War II, the part of the Rothenburg district lying east of the Lusatian Neisse became part of the Polish counties of Żary and Zgorzelec. The part of the district lying west of the Lusatian Neisse was incorporated into the state of Saxony on 9 July 1945. In October 1945, the capital of the district was moved to Weißwasser, and it was renamed Weißwasser district. On 16 January 1947 the district of Weißwasser merged with the neighboring district of Görlitz to form the new district of Weißwasser-Görlitz." - (en.wikipedia.org 13.11.2023)
