Saxony-Anhalt

The state encompasses 11 districts and 3 independent cities across a territory of 20,451 square kilometers between the Harz mountains and Elbe River.

Following German reunification in 1990, Saxony-Anhalt emerged from former East German territories, merging the historical regions of Saxony and Anhalt into one federal state.

The state maintains five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Bauhaus buildings in Dessau and the Luther memorials in Wittenberg and Eisleben.

Through extensive railway networks and highway systems connecting major cities like Magdeburg and Halle, the state serves as a central transportation hub in Germany.

The chemical industry triangle between Halle, Merseburg, and Bitterfeld represents one of the largest concentrations of chemical production facilities in Germany.
