Zeitz: Moritzburg Cathedral, Kinderwagenmuseum Pram History, and the White Elster Town in Sachsen-Anhalt's Industrial South
Zeitz has around 29,500 inhabitants and lies on the Weisse Elster river in Sachsen-Anhalt. The Moritzburg, a castle above the town, houses the Kinderwagenmuseum (pram museum), reflecting Zeitz's history as Germany's main centre of baby carriage production. The ZEKIWA factory produced prams sold across the Eastern Bloc during the GDR era.
The Zeitzer Dom (cathedral) and its Romanesque crypt are the oldest in Sachsen-Anhalt. Brown coal mining shaped the surrounding Burgenlandkreis. Gera in Thueringen is about 30 kilometres south. Leipzig is roughly 50 kilometres north. Naumburg lies about 35 kilometres northwest. The Weisse Elster valley provides the main landscape axis.
