Staßfurt, Salt mining town in Salzlandkreis, Germany

The municipality of Staßfurt extends along both sides of the Bode River, situated 30 kilometers south of Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt.

The first written record of Staßfurt dates to 806 AD through a letter from Emperor Charlemagne to Abbot Fulrad of St. Quentin.

Staßfurt maintains multiple museums dedicated to the preservation of its industrial heritage, particularly focusing on the history of salt and potash mining.

The municipal administration center, located at Hohenerxlebener Straße 12, provides essential services to residents through its BürgerService office.

The Staßfurt potash deposit, discovered in 1861, became the first location worldwide for large-scale industrial potash mining operations.
