geography

Sachsendorf is located in a flat area near the confluence of the Saale and the Elbe . The ditch that drains the area around Sachsendorf is already part of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve . The city of Dessau-Roßlau is 25 km east, Calbe (Saale) approx. 10 km west of Sachsendorf.

The flat land and the proximity to the Elbe and Saale made it necessary to build flood protection dikes.

The district of Patzetz belonged to the former municipality of Sachsendorf .

history

The oldest part of the former community is Patzetz, at that time a Vorwerk of Groß Rosenburg . The place appears for the first time in a document in 1100. Sachsendorf did not come into being in its current form until 1670, when Lower Saxon Kossaites settled here.

On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Sachsendorf, Breitenhagen , Glinde , Groß Rosenburg , Lödderitz , Pömmelte , Tornitz , Wespen and Zuchau as well as the city of Barby (Elbe) merged to form the new city of Barby. At the same time, the Elbe-Saale administrative community , to which Sachsendorf belonged, was dissolved.

economy

Beets have been the main crop in the area for decades. From 1884 to October 1, 1922, on the one hand, the Patzetz – Breitenhagen horse-drawn tram provided passenger transport to the Sachsendorf station. On the other hand, this - also so-called - beet train transported the beet harvest (after 1922 exclusively as freight transport) to the sugar factory in Dröbel (today part of Bernburg ). The track bed of the line that was closed in 1950 and then demolished is now a cycling and hiking trail.

In addition to agriculture, there are smaller businesses and a concrete block factory in the community. Furthermore, gravel is mined around Sachsendorf.
