Zeitz
From 1652 to 1718, Zeitz served as the residential capital of the Duchy of Saxony-Zeitz, with Moritzburg Castle as the ducal seat — and much of that architectural legacy, alongside 19th-century industrial-era buildings, still shapes the town's streetscape today. Sitting on the White Elster river in southern Saxony-Anhalt, near the borders of Thuringia and Saxony, the town has a compact centre with cafés and restaurants, and vineyards in the surrounding area.
