history
The predecessor authority of the Magdeburg Department and indirectly the Merseburg Department - whose older holdings were in Magdeburg until 1993 - was the Magdeburg State Archives. This was set up in 1823 as the state archive of the newly formed Prussian province of Saxony. In the state of Anhalt, which was politically independent until the end of the Second World War, there had also been a state archive in Zerbst since the 1870s , which was relocated to Oranienbaum Palace after being destroyed in the war in 1945 and the Magdeburg archive, which was now called the State Main Archive Magdeburg or Saxony-Anhalt until 1964, subordinate. The State Archive of Saxony-Anhalt was created in 2001 through the amalgamation of the State Archives Magdeburg - State Main Archives -, the State Archives Merseburg and the State Archives Oranienbaum, which had only been formed in 1993 through the restructuring of the State Main Archive Saxony-Anhalt or by taking over an empty archive building (Merseburg, DZA) . On July 11, 2015, following the amendment of the Archive Act, it was renamed the State Archive of Saxony-Anhalt.
Until 1993/94 there were five other state archive locations in Saxony-Anhalt that belonged to the German Central Archives of the GDR and were located in Merseburg , Coswig (Anhalt) , Dornburg , Barby and Möckern . Oranienbaum Castle was also an archive location.
