Falkenberg/Elster

Falkenberg (Elster) station is one of the biggest stations in the German state of Brandenburg. It is located in the town of Falkenberg/Elster in the south of the state. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station. Railways run in seven directions from the station. It is a two-level interchange station (German: Turmbahnhof, literally a “tower station”), built where several routes interconnect. There is a large marshalling yard connecting to both the upper and the lower parts of the station. At times Falkenberg was the fifth largest marshalling yard in East Germany (GDR). Only part of these tracks have been in use since the 1990s. A large station building, which had been built in 1882, was destroyed in the Second World War. A restaurant complex built in GDR times was substantially rebuilt after 2010 and now serves as the entrance building. A number of buildings of the station and its surrounds are heritage-listed.

Elbe-Elster Land (German: Elbe-Elster-Land), also called the Elbe-Elster region (Elbe-Elster-Gebiet) is a region around the tripoint of the German states of Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony. It is part of the North German Plain and is named after the two major rivers that have their confluence here: the Elbe and the Black Elster. In older sources the northwestern parts of the present-day Elbe-Elster Land were called Mezumroka or "land between the rivers". It was part of the Gau Nizizi and almost unpopulated. The region is first recorded as the "land between the Elbe and Elster" on 14 April 1312, when Frederick the Brave promised 32,000 marks in silver "to be paid within three days" to Margrave Waldemar of Brandenburg as part of the Treaty of Tangermünde following his capture near Hayn. He also promised to cede the "land between the Elbe and Elster", the March of Lusatia and the towns of Hayn and Torgau to Brandenburg.The "land between the Elbe and Elster" was then understood to be a region that covered what later became the Electoral Saxon Ämter or districts of Mühlberg, Liebenwerda, Schweinitz and Lochau.Today the territory of the county of Elbe-Elster which was created in 1993 is marketed and advertised for tourist purposes as the holiday region of Elbe-Elster-Land, but it also includes the western parts of Lower Lusatia around Finsterwalde and the Schraden region.
