Oschatz, Historical municipality in Nordsachsen, Germany

Located 60 kilometers east of Leipzig and west of Dresden, Oschatz extends across 55 square kilometers along the Döllnitz river at 120 meters elevation.

The first documented mention of Oschatz dates to 1200, and the town received market rights in 1394, leading to construction of its Renaissance town hall between 1538 and 1546.

The Sankt Aegidien Church with its 75-meter twin towers forms the center of religious life, featuring architectural elements from different construction periods throughout Saxon history.

The narrow-gauge Döllnitz railway connects Oschatz with neighboring municipalities, providing transportation options for residents and visitors exploring the northern Saxon region.

The Stadt und Waagenmuseum stands as the only scale museum in Central Germany, displaying historical measuring instruments and traditional weighing techniques.
