Zerbst, Urban municipality in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
The municipality of Zerbst extends over 467 square kilometers along the Nuthe river, between Magdeburg and Wittenberg at 67 meters elevation.
The first documented mention of Zerbst dates to 1018 as Zirwisti urbs, originating from a Slavic settlement established during the 8th century.
Catherine the Great, who later became Empress of Russia, married Crown Prince Peter in 1745, establishing a connection between Zerbst and Russian imperial history.
The municipality maintains administrative offices at postal code 39261, serving approximately 23,000 residents across multiple incorporated communities.
An Allied air raid in April 1945 destroyed eighty percent of Zerbst, leading to extensive reconstruction efforts throughout the post-war period.
