Regents of Anhalt
Anhalt, which before 1218 was called the county of Askanien, was ruled by
the house of Askanien throughout its history. The members of this dynasty
were also margraves of Brandenburg 1134-1320 and dukes of Saxony 1138-1142
and 1180-1689 (only
Sachsen-Lauenburg from 1422). The younger branch of this dynasty that
ruled Askanien from 1212 had that land elevated to a principality (Anhalt).
Like most German lands Anhalt was frequently partitioned. The three
remaining Anhalt states were 1807 elevated to duchies and from 1863 was Anhalt
united again.

Incorporated with Sachsen-Anhalt |
Anhalt was merged with the Prussian province of Saxony after World War
Two and thus formed the German part state of Sachsen-Anhalt. This part state
was already in 1952 divided into the East German districts of Halle and Magdeburg
but was restored when Germany was reunited 1990.
