history

View of Landsberg from Kapellenberg
Upper apses of the double brick chapel

The oldest traces of settlement date from the Neolithic Age , the first documentary mention is found in 961 as "civitas holm" in a certificate from Otto I. The castle, which is also designated with it, was the seat of the Margraves of Landsberg . With the exception of a double chapel (see below), only a few remains of the wall remain from the former castle . The castle was destroyed by the Margraves of Meißen after the imperial ban was imposed on Landsberg. It was only in 1597 Landsberg was the Saxon dukes the city charter , however, returned with the restriction no walls and battlements to build. Landsberg then became an open country town.

The Mark Landsberg , also Margraviate Landsberg , emerged in the 13th century through the division of inheritance from the westernmost part of the Mark Lausitz , which was part of the Saxon East Mark until 965 . Along with the margraviate of Meißen, it is considered the home of the Wettins . It encompassed a not precisely defined area between the lower Saale and the Elbe . The focal point was the protruding mountain, which used to be a Slavic castle. The name of the castle and the town of Landsberg goes back to this mountain. In 1291 the Landsberg mark was sold to the Brandenburg Ascanians , but was returned to the Wettins in 1347.

By today's urban area, the border ran until 1815 between the Saalkreis of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg , which for 1680 Duchy of Magdeburg under Brandenburg-Prussian came reign, and the Saxon or Royal Saxon Office Delitzsch with the city of Landsberg. As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the Electoral Saxon towns with Landsberg became part of Prussia in 1815 and were assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony in 1816. The places that were already Prussian before 1815 belonged to the Halle district in the Saale department of the Kingdom of Westphalia between 1807 and 1813 . In 1816 they came to the Saalkreis of the Prussian province of Saxony.

In the course of the first district reform in the GDR in 1950, the city of Landsberg and the places of today's districts Gollma, Gütz (with Wölls-Petersdorf, today's Spickendorf) and Reinsdorf and the places of today's places Queis, Reußen and Sietzsch from the Delitzsch district the hall area reclassified. During the second district reform of the GDR in 1952, all of today's districts of the city of Landsberg came to be part of the newly cut Saalkreis in the Halle district , which came to the state of Saxony-Anhalt in 1990 and was added to the Saalekreis in 2007.

Landsberg celebrated its 1050th anniversary in a festival week in July 2011.

At the end of November 2015, the previous mayor, Olaf Heinrich, and his deputy were temporarily relieved of their duties by the state administration. They were accused of substantial offenses and criminal offenses to the detriment of the city of Landsberg.
