The Burgenlandkreis is a district in Saxony-Anhalt that emerged from the old Burgenlandkreis and the Weißenfels district as part of the second district reform on July 1, 2007 .
geography
The district is located on the southern border of Saxony-Anhalt, it borders on Thuringia in the west and south and on Saxony in the east .
In the north it borders on the Saalekreis , in the northeast on the Saxon district of Leipzig , in the east on the Thuringian district of Altenburger Land , in the south on the Thuringian independent city of Gera and the districts of Greiz , Saale-Holzland-Kreis and Weimarer Land, and in the west the also Thuringian districts of Sömmerda and Kyffhäuserkreis .
The landscape is hilly and is shaped by the Saale , Unstrut and Weißer Elster . Viticulture is practiced in the Saale-Unstrut region.
The Unstrut crosses the border from Thuringia to Saxony-Anhalt in the north-west of the district near Wendelstein and flows into the Saale near Naumburg in the flower base. At Großheringen / Kleinheringen, the Saale crosses the border from Thuringia to Saxony-Anhalt in the south-west and leaves the district in the north-east near Wengelsdorf into the Saalekreis. From the southwest to the northeast flows from Crossen in Thuringia via Zeitz the White Elster, which leaves the district northeast of Profen in the direction of Pegau in Saxony.
history
The Burgenlandkreis came into being as a result of the regional reform of the Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt on July 1st, 2007 . The previously existing Burgenlandkreis merged with the Weißenfels district . The regional administration office had chosen the Burgenland district as the plan name . In the district council meeting on July 16, 2007, however, a majority voted for the old name Burgenlandkreis. The main reason was the cost of the renaming. For the revision of the place name signs and all printed matter for offices and authorities in the former Weißenfels district, August 1, 2007 was determined for the official introduction of the new district name.
On May 25, 2009, the district received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government .
The district name is an artificial name created in 1994 that alludes to the numerous medieval castles in the district. The Rudelsburg near Bad Kösen is one of the better known .
In 2015 the skeletal remains of an old resident of Karsdorf , which belong to the linear ceramic culture (approx. 5200 BC), were analyzed, and it turned out that they belong to the paternal T1a-M70 lineage and the maternal H1 line .

District Administrator
For the 2014 local elections, the incumbent incumbent, Harri Reiche, no longer stood. Since none of the candidates achieved the required absolute majority in the first ballot on May 25th, there was a runoff election between Götz Ulrich (CDU) and Manuela Hartung (SPD) 3 weeks later, on June 15th . This was won by the CDU candidate Götz Ulrich with 61.4% of the votes cast and a voter turnout of 23%.
coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on February 19, 2008 by the Ministry of the Interior of Saxony-Anhalt.
Blazon : "In silver a black-grooved red castle, the lowered castle wall occupied by two pinnacle towers abutting at the top and disappearing into the outer edge, between the towers a six-berry (3: 2: 1) blue grape with two green leaves, the castle wall covered with a gold one Sign with a black miner's toe inside. "
The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Jörg Mantzsch from Magdeburg.
The coats of arms of the administrative communities, cities and municipalities of the district can be found in the list of coats of arms in the Burgenland district .
flag
The flag is red and white (1: 1) striped (horizontal shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and centered with the district coat of arms.
Economy and Infrastructure
The Burgenland district belongs to the central German economic area Halle-Leipzig-Dessau. The region can fall back on a traditional economic structure with a mix of industries, medium-sized businesses and crafts.
When new investors settled in, especially in the industrial areas on the Federal Motorway 9 (e.g. Zorbau or Oberkaka ), the focus was on logistics . These locations have excellent conditions for the traffic-intensive industries.
In the Future Atlas 2016 , the Burgenlandkreis was ranked 383 out of 402 districts and independent cities in Germany, making it one of the regions with “high future risks”.
Clinics
There are three acute clinics in the district, namely the Asklepios Clinic in Weißenfels and the clinics in Naumburg and Zeitz, which belong to the municipal clinic Burgenlandkreis GmbH. The rehabilitation clinics are concentrated in Bad Kösen: The Burgenlandklinik is an SRH subsidiary, while the three clinics of the Lielje Group (Saale rehabilitation clinic with clinics I and II and the children's rehabilitation clinic) are taken over by the Median clinics .
media
There is a TV station BLK Regional TV in the Burgenland district, which can be received via the local cable network and the Internet. There is also the Internet radio station Burgenland-Welle.
traffic
Rail transport
The main routes Halle – Erfurt , Leipzig – Großkorbetha and Saaleck – Saalfeld run through the district . On the common section Großkorbetha - Saaleck , in which the cities Weißenfels and Naumburg are also located, both passenger and freight traffic are bundled and therefore take place at high frequency.
With the discontinuation of long-distance transport, the state of Saxony-Anhalt ordered an extensive replacement range of accelerated local transport connections, which are operated by Abellio Rail Central Germany and DB Regio . These include the lines RE 16 Halle – Naumburg – Erfurt, RE 17 Naumburg – Erfurt, RE 18 Halle – Naumburg – Jena and RE 42 Leipzig – Naumburg – Jena – Nuremberg as well as RB 20 Leipzig – Naumburg – Erfurt – Eisenach and RB 25 Halle– Naumburg – Jena – Saalfeld. There are also the regional railway lines Unstrutbahn Naumburg – Wangen (Abellio), Weißenfels – Zeitz (DB Regio Südost) and Leipzig – Zeitz – Gera ( Elster-Saale-Bahn ) in the district. Passenger traffic on the Naumburg – Teuchern – Zeitz line was canceled in 2010.
The district belongs, like its predecessors, to the Central German Transport Association (MDV). Since the timetable change on December 13, 2015, the MDV tickets are also valid on the half-hourly trams in the district town of Naumburg .
The high-speed line Erfurt – Leipzig / Halle runs through the west of the district. Since its completion in December 2015 and the subsequent route to Nuremberg in December 2017, only a few long-distance trains have been running in the Saale Valley. The Unstruttal bridge near Karsdorf as part of the new line is the second longest railway bridge in Germany with a length of 2668 m after the Saale-Elster valley bridge .
Road traffic
The federal autobahn 9 leads between Schkeuditzer Kreuz and Hermsdorfer Kreuz in a north-south direction through the east of the district (exits: Weißenfels, Naumburg, Droy says ). At the Rippachtal motorway junction, there is the junction to the federal motorway 38 , which touches the north (exit: Leuna / Weißenfels, Lützen ). There are still good connections to the southern district from the federal motorway 4 (exits: Gera , Apolda ).
The federal highway 180 , an important north-south connection in Saxony-Anhalt, leads from Querfurt through the district from northwest to southeast, crosses the A 9 at Pretzsch and leads to Meuselwitz in Thuringia.
In the southeast of the district, the B 91 coming from the Saalekreis , the B 2 coming from Leipzig in Saxony and going to Gera in Thuringia and the B 180 coming from Naumburg meet in Zeitz .
In the north-east of Weißenfels the federal highway 91 (Halle-Zeitz), the B 87 (Weimar-Leipzig) and the B 176 ( Kölleda / Thuringia- Borna / Saxony) converge.
In Naumburg the federal roads intersect 87 (Weimar-Leipzig) and 180 (Eisleben-Altenburg), also here that begins B 88 (Naumburg-Jena).
Finally, the federal road 250 Querfurt – Nebra – Bad Bibra – Eckartsberga should be mentioned.
air traffic
Air traffic is served from Leipzig / Halle Airport (in Saxony, approx. 30 km from the district border) and the regional airport Leipzig-Altenburg Airport (in Thuringia, approx. 15 km from the district border). There are still the landing sites Laucha (Unstrut) and Sprossen bei Zeitz in the district.
