Leipziger Land

Leipziger Land is a former district in Saxony, Germany. It was bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Delitzsch, the district-free city Leipzig, Muldentalkreis, Mittweida, the district Altenburger Land in Thuringia, and the districts Burgenlandkreis, Saalekreis in Saxony-Anhalt.

The history of the region is influenced by the city of Leipzig. See there for more information.

The district was established in 1994 by merging the former districts of Leipzig-Land [de], Borna [de] and Geithain [de]. In 1999, the towns of Schkeuditz and Taucha were reassigned to the Delitzsch district. In August 2008, it became a part of the new district of Leipzig.[citation needed]

The main river of the district is the White Elster, which also flows through the city of Leipzig itself. The area south of Leipzig is a big lignite day mining area, which will be recultivated as a lakeland in the near future. The lignite also made the area the main industrial area of East Germany.
