Großenhain, Urban municipality in Meissen District, Germany

Located along the Röder river, Großenhain covers 130 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 122 meters above sea level.

The settlement, first documented in 1205 as Hayne, developed into a significant town under the governance of the margraves of Meissen and Brandenburg.

The Marienkirche, rebuilt after the 1744 fire, stands as a central religious structure in Großenhain, following architectural elements of Dresden's religious buildings.

The town maintains direct access to major federal roads and contains two railway stations, providing transportation connections to surrounding Saxon municipalities.

In 2010, Großenhain experienced an F3 tornado that caused substantial damage and led to the implementation of new emergency alert systems.
