In the south of the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt lies the residential city of Zeitz. The city was one of the most important cities in the Duchy of Saxony-Zeitz from 1652 to 1718 and Moritzburg Castle served as the residence of Moritz of Saxony-Zeitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Zeitz is better known, however, as an industrial location. It was once an important railway junction in the region, which promoted industrialisation. For many years, for example, Zeitz manufactured prams (which were used all over Germany) and produced sugar. Lignite mining shaped the region from around 1830. Today, a structural change is taking place here that is shaping the entire region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is unjustly in a “Sleeping Beauty slumber”. Great initiatives and projects are in the process of bringing life back to the city. Visitors can look forward to a city in transition with much to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
