Eilenburg, Historic town in Nordsachsen, Germany
Description
Eilenburg is a town positioned along the Mulde River in Saxony, spreading across several urban districts and rural neighborhoods. The river location shapes how the settlement is organized and how it appears in the landscape.
History
The origins trace back to a castle documented in the 10th century, which gave rise to the settlement and shaped its early character. The area later became part of the Margravate of Meissen, a major regional power.
