About Weibenfels

Weibenfels is the biggest town of the Burgenlandkreis district, in southern Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is arranged on the waterway Saale, around 30 km south of Halle. Maybe the principal notice of the territory, before the town itself was established happened in 806 CE, when Charles the Younger, King of the Franks, battled and executed two West Slavic Knezy rulers close-by: duke Miliduch of the Sorbs and Nessyta. Miliduch had driven a Sorbian attack of Austrasia.

The Lutheran scholar Erdmann Neumeister from 1704 on filled in as a minister at the ducal royal residence's Trinity Chapel. Its pipe organ finished in 1673 has 22 stops. As per John Mainwaring, Duke Johann Adolf I of Saxe-Weissenfels himself found the melodic ability of George Frideric Handel, when he heard the child of his doctor Georg Handel playing on the organ. With the annihilation of the Wettin Saxe-Weissenfels line in 1746, the town fell back to the Saxon Electorate and after the 1815 Congress of Vienna to the Prussian Province of Saxony. From 1816 on it was the capital of the Weibenfels district until its disintegration in 2007.
