History


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.[1] In August 2008, it became a part of the new district of Leipzig.[citation needed]


Geography


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.


Coat of arms


The lion to the right is the symbol of the Counts of Meissen, the vertical blue strips in the bottom is the symbol of the pales of Landsberg. Both symbols are also present in the coat of arms of the city Leipzig. In the left a wavy line on green ground symbolizes the White Elster river.
