Radegast (German: [ˈʁaːdəˌɡast] ⓘ) is a small town in the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

It is the smallest town in Saxony-Anhalt and is located about 13 km south of the district capital of Köthen.

Radegast is located midway between the cities of Köthen (Anhalt), Wolfen, Bitterfeld and Dessau.

The upper level to a depth of about 0.3 m (1 ft) is meadowland with a lush vegetation of grasses and swampland, which is very fertile and became very calcareous, too because of the stagnant water.

From 1685 to 1688, a dam was built in the lowland of the river Fuhne between Radegast and Zörbig, which created an important trade-route between the cities of Magdeburg and Leipzig.

In 1871 an oak tree was planted at the market-place as a symbol for the end of the war between Germany and France, which lasted from 1870 to 1871.

The tree called "Friedenseiche" ("oak of peace") is a mark of Radegast today and a natural landmark.

Culture developed in the small town: In 1911 a football team named "Britannia" was founded, followed by a gardeners' club in 1919.

After World War II ended, a new sector of the economy was opened up, as the horse-breeding started at the Radegast domain in 1951.

The Radegast stud farm created a lot of prize-winning, successful saddle and sports horses in its history which is rich on tradition.

The coat of arms of Radegast has a silver background and shows a red tower on the right side.

By giving Radegast the market and city rights, Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Dessau also gave the town this coat of arms, which is similar to that of Bernburg.

Older versions of the Radegast coat of arms seem to be reversed, because they showed the tower on the left side and the wall on the right.

In Radegast there is a little parlour for local history where visitors can experience how people lived in Anhalt in the old days.

Also the meadow of the river Fuhne and the near national park “Cösitzer Teich” invite wanderers and friends of mother nature.
