Dbeln (District)

Dbeln is a district in Saxony, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Torgau-Oschatz, Riesa-Groenhain, Meien, Mittweida and Muldentalkreis.

History

The region was originally populated by Sorbic peoples. In the early Middle Ages the Daleminzian people settled along this section of the Mulde river. It was driven away by Germans after the battle of Jahna in 928. The present borders of the district were established in 1952, when the government of East Germany formed the new districts. Dbeln is one of the few districts which have not been changed after the German reunification.

Geography

The district is located on the banks of the Freiberger Mulde in the triangle between the cities of Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz.
