The Burgenlandkreis was a district in the south of the state of Saxony-Anhalt. In the course of the district reform in Saxony-Anhalt , it was merged with the Weißenfels district on July 1, 2007 to form the new Burgenlandkreis . The district seat was Naumburg (Saale) .
geography
The Burgenlandkreis in the extreme south of Saxony-Anhalt already formed the landscape transition to Thuringia . The landscape is mountainous and is characterized by the Saale , Unstrut and Weißer Elster . Viticulture is practiced in the so-called 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 Großjenaer Blütengrund.
The Saale crosses the border between Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt at Großheringen / Kleinheringen in the south-west and leaves the Burgenland district in the north-east near Goseck in the direction of Weißenfels .
From the southwest to the northeast, the White Elster flows from Crossen in Thuringia via Zeitz in the Burgenland district and leaves the district northeast of Profen in the direction of Pegau in Saxony.
The Seeligenbornberg with approx. 355 m is located northwest of Lossa and is the highest point in the Burgenland district. In the Saale floodplain south of Goseck is the lowest point in the district at 97.8 m .
Neighboring districts were in the north the district of Merseburg-Querfurt and the district of Weißenfels , in the north-east the Saxon district of Leipziger Land , in the east the Thuringian district of Altenburger Land , in the south the Thuringian city of Gera and the districts of Greiz , Saale-Holzland-Kreis and Weimarer Land and in the west the Thuringian districts of Sömmerda and Kyffhäuserkreis .

coat of arms
Blazon : "In silver, a red battlement wall covered with 6 silver balls 3: 2: 1, a red key crossed diagonally above, beard pointing to the left below, above a red fallen sword."
The redesign of a coat of arms for the Burgenland district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt as well as a coat of arms documentation for the purpose of the approval procedure by the state government were commissioned in 1996 to the heraldist, Mr. Jörg Mantzsch , to include in the seal, possibly on the flag of the district administration and in other uses To carry an officially approved coat of arms as a national emblem, in accordance with the rules of heraldry.
The Burgenlandkreis decided to use the following symbols for the district coat of arms for the district that emerged from the last district reform:
- a key and a fallen sword crossed diagonally,
- a crenellated wall
- a strongly stylized grape in the form of six balls 3: 2: 1.
The key and sword were borrowed from the coat of arms of the former Zeitz district and refer to the historical coat of arms of the Zeitz-Naumburg cathedral monastery. Key blade and key beard are based heavily on traditional templates of seal images of the region.
It should also be noted that in the coats of arms of the cathedral monastery, keys and swords were partly raised and partly lowered and crossed diagonally. There is therefore no uniform representation throughout.
The tinctures chosen were red for the symbolism of the sword, key and battlement wall and silver for the 6 balls, which represent stylized grapes, and the shield . The colors of the district are therefore red and white.
When displaying certain symbols and figures, the z. Some of the centuries-old customs of heraldry and iconography must be observed. Not all objects are heraldic symbols. Your expression in the coat of arms does not indicate a real existence, but is to be understood symbolically. The tin wall, for example, stands for the defensive strength of a city - regardless of whether the place was really walled - or for a castle. Other objects express properties: The fallen sword z. B. is to be interpreted as a defensive gesture in the sense of peacefulness or renunciation of force; the key, as a Christian symbol, is related to the key of Peter.
economy
The Burgenland district belongs to the central German economic area Halle-Leipzig-Dessau and is an important business location in the south of Saxony-Anhalt. 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 estates on federal highway 9 , the focus was placed on logistics. These locations have excellent conditions for the traffic-intensive industries.
traffic
Regionally and nationally important traffic routes such as the main railway lines Erfurt-Weißenfels-Halle and Gera-Zeitz-Leipzig and the roads from Thuringia to the Halle (Saale) / Leipzig area run through the Burgenlandkreis .
The expansion and partly new construction of the Nuremberg-Erfurt-Halle-Berlin railway line has been approved and in part began in 2006 in the Burgenland district.
The federal highway 180 , an important north-south connection for Saxony-Anhalt, leads through the Burgenlandkreis from northwest to southeast, crosses the federal highway A9 near Pretzsch and leads to Meuselwitz in Thuringia.
Coming from Weißenfels, the A9 runs in a north-south direction through the Burgenland district and leaves the district near Kleinhelmsdorf in the direction of Eisenberg.
In the southeast of the district, the B 91 coming from the Weißenfels district , the B 2 coming from Pegau in Saxony and going to Gera in Thuringia and the B 180 coming from Naumburg meet in Zeitz .
The federal highway 176 , a nationally important main road, runs from Kölleda in Thuringia via Bad Bibra and Freyburg to Weißenfels.
