Nebra is a municipality in the district of Burgenlandkreis of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
The oldest historical documents mentioning Nebra date back to 876. Town privileges were acquired in the 12th century. The Nebra-Castle was built in 1540.
The city is maybe most famous because of the Nebra skydisk, which was found near the city in 1999, but it only became public in 2002 when the finders tried to sell it and were arrested.
