history
The history of Eckartsberga is inextricably linked with the founding and construction of Eckartsburg in 966 by Margrave Ekkehard I of Meißen. The reason was the location on the Sachsenberg on the important Via Regia . The place in front of the castle, laid out as a row village, first appeared in a document in 1073.
In the late Middle Ages , Eckartsberga had market rights , city rights (since 1288), was a minting location and had its own jurisdiction. From 1485 the city was the seat of the Saxon office of the same name. City life was shaped by haulage companies until the middle of the 17th century . In the course of the Saxon fratricidal war , around 60 villages in the Eckartsberga area were on fire on July 15, 1450. A so-called fire column on the outskirts reminds of a witch burning in 1563.
In 1621 the city had a tipper mint, in which interim coins (tipper coins) were struck under the mint masters Christian Gerlach and Bernd Hillard. These were pieces of dump truck and cruiser.
In 1806 Eckartsberga was on the edge of the battlefield of the battle of Jena and Auerstedt . The Eckartsberga office came to Prussia in 1815 (later expanded as the Eckartsberga district ) along with other areas .
At times there were three windmills on the Sachsenberg in the east of the city . The functioning mill from 1831, which is still to the east of the outskirts, a little off the B 87 at a height of 275 m, has a ten-spoke wind turbine with a diameter of 14 meters instead of the usual blades. This type of construction is otherwise common in southern Europe, but is unique in Germany.
On July 1, 2009, the neighboring communities of Tromsdorf and Burgholzhausen were incorporated into the newly formed town of Eckartsberga and the administrative community at An der Finne was dissolved.
mayor
In March 2016, Marlis Vogel was elected for a third term.

Attractions
- The Eckartsburg with its 36 meter high keep is the town's landmark. Inside the tower there is a tin figure exhibition, which shows the course of the battle near Jena and Auerstedt as a diorama .
- The local museum in the village also presents objects from the Stone Age in its collection.
- The Dutch windmill from 1831 on the Sachsenberg is the last of three examples on the outskirts, which were destroyed by fires in 1839, 1848 and 1851 and were then renewed several times. This last mill has a ten-spoke wind turbine 14 meters in diameter. The tower measures 13 meters from the ground to the top of the roof. The mill was last technically repaired in 2006, and a small exhibition was also created.
