Meissen, March of

Years: 965 - 1423

The March or Margraviate of Meissen (German: Mark(grafschaft) Meißen), sometimes March of Miśnia, is a medieval principality, a march, of the Holy Roman Empire in the area of the modern German state of Saxony.

Created out of the Marca Geronis in 965, it merges to the Saxon Electorate in 1423.The March of Meissen is sometimes called the Thuringian March or March of Thuringia.

Usually, however, this is a term for the eastern part of the Meissen march, that is, the land east of the Elbe as far as the Saale, a land inhabited by Slavs.

Formerly, the "Thuringian march" was called the "Sorbian march".
