Osterland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Osterland is a historical region in present-day eastern German states of Thuringia and Saxony. It lay between the Elbe and Saale rivers to the north of Pleissnerland which it later absorbed and it included the city of Leipzig. The name derives from the previous name of the territory, Ostmark, meaning "eastern march."
