Anhalt

Anhalt was formerly German Land (state) until 1945, a duchy (1863-1918) of Central Germany, surrounded and split up by Prussian Saxony, and watered by the Elbe and Saale. The Land, rich in minerals, was merged in Saxony-Anhalt which was a Land of the German Democratic Republic (1949-1952). Then it was broken, but upon reunification of East and West Germany in 1990, Saxony-Anhalt was reconstituted a Land and included the former Magdeburg Bezirk, most of the former Halle Bezirk, and a small part of Cottbus Bezirk.
