Markgraafschap Landsberg

In 1263, Mark Graaf Hendrik III van Meißen finally managed to acquire Thuringia. He then owned the following four state-owned creatures:
Shortly thereafter, he transferred part of his possessions to his two sons: Position of the land ministry
The land ministry was in fact illegal because a new princess could only be done by the king. This illegal act was made possible by the absence of a king. The area lay between the Mulde and Saale rivers north and south of Leipzig. It was formed from the western part of the East Market and parts of the market town of Meissen. Further history
Diederik of Landsberg was succeeded by his son Frederik Tuta after his death in 1285. After the death of his grandfather in 1288, an inheritance broke out between Frederik Tuta and his cousin Frederik I van Meißen and Diezmann. As a result, Frederik Tutta and his uncle Albrecht de Ontaarde went to govern the Meissen market and that Diezman received the Oostmark. Already in 1289, Frederik Tutta bought the share in Meissen from his uncle. He did this confiscated money for the crusades. In 1291 Frederik Tutta died by poisoning.
After the death of Frederik Tutta, a new division was found by the family:
Albrecht de Ontaarde pledged its share in the same year 1291 at the Brandenburg market county, thus losing the area (temporarily). In 1333 the area was inherited by the Duke of Brunswick. In 1347, Markgraaf Frederik II of Meissen bought Landsberg Landgraaf together with the Saxony backyard of Brunswijk.
The area then did not form any administrative unit. The weapon and the title continued until the end of the monarchy in 1918.
