Jerichower Land, Rural district in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
Jerichower Land spans across 1,578 square kilometers in northeastern Saxony-Anhalt, featuring agricultural lands, small forests, and waterways including the Elbe River.
The district emerged from the 1994 merger of Burg and Genthin districts, continuing administrative changes that began with the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816.
The district flag displays vertical bars representing the Elbe-Havel canal and a crane symbol, reflecting the connection between local infrastructure and wildlife.
The district capital Burg bei Magdeburg connects to major cities through road networks, with Berlin 94 kilometers away and Leipzig 131 kilometers distant.
The region maintains three different vehicle registration codes - JL, BRG, and GNT - preserving the historical identity of its constituent administrative areas.
