Dobeln

Dobeln is a town in the Free State of Saxony, Germany. It was limited by from the north and clockwise the districts of Torgau-Oschatz, Riesa-Grobenhain, Meiben, Mittweida and Muldentalkreis. The district was situated on the banks of the Freiberger Mulde in the triangle between the urban communities of Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz.

The locale was initially populated by Sorbic people groups. In the early Middle Ages, the Daleminzian individuals settled along this segment of the Mulde River. They were headed out by Germans after the Battle of Jahna in 928. The present fringes of the district were built up in 1952, when the legislature of East Germany shaped the new districts. Dobeln was one of only a handful couple of districts which had not been changed straightforwardly after the German reunification. In August 2008, as a piece of the district change in Saxony, the districts of Dobeln, Freiberg and Mittweida were converged into the new district Mittelsachsen.
