Leipziger Land

Leipziger Land is a former district in Saxony, Germany.

It was bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Delitzsch, the district-free city Leipzig, Muldentalkreis, Mittweida, the district Altenburger Land in Thuringia, and the districts Burgenlandkreis, Saalekreis in Saxony-Anhalt.

The history of the region is influenced by the city of Leipzig.

In 1999, the towns of Schkeuditz and Taucha were reassigned to the Delitzsch district.

[citation needed] The main river of the district is the White Elster, which also flows through the city of Leipzig itself.
