its very simple.. try this

Check your JQuery include, you must not be including Jquery correctly. What version are you referencing?

Ensure you are running your script when JQuery is loaded:

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('#BezirksAuswahl').change(function(e){
     alert(this.value);
  });
});

Answer 3

$('#BezirksAuswahl').change(function(){
         alert($(this).val());
});

Answer 4

Use the change event, which fires when the value of the element changes, like so:

$('#BezirksAuswahl').change(function(e){
    alert(this.value);
});
