The administrative centre was originally located in the city of Saratov, but was relocated to Yekaterinenstadt, which was renamed Marxstadt a few weeks later in June 1919.

The polity consisted of three districts (Uyezds):

It was restructured as the Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic on February 20, 1924 (claims of December 19, 1923),[1] by the Declaration of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the Russian SFSR.
