history
Already in the early Middle Ages there was a Slavic settlement on the Zoberberg , which was built around the year 600 on the northern part of a hill, about 100 m from the southern edge of the Elba. There was a small spring in the immediate vicinity. The settlement was excavated in the early 1960s, and it became apparent that seven to ten smaller pit houses formed a semicircle of 15 to 18 m. The settlement was destroyed several times and rebuilt to a comparable extent, but slightly shifted. This happened every 25 to 30 years. After the last destruction in the 8th century, there was no reconstruction.
In 1742/43 Prince Leopold I of Anhalt-Dessau gave two goods in Mosigkau to his favorite daughter Anna Wilhelmine . In the years 1752-1757 then was Rococo - Mosigkau built as a summer residence. In 1780 a monastery for noble unmarried women was established in the castle, which existed until 1945. The palace and park are part of the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm .
Mosigkau was incorporated into Dessau on July 25, 1952.
The place has a train station on the Dessau – Köthen railway line . The federal highway 185 runs through Mosigkau. The Dessauer Verkehrsgesellschaft bus line 16 runs through the town in the direction of Kochstedt and Junkerspark.
