The Free State of Saxony is a landlocked federal state of Germany, bordering the federal states of Brandenburg, Saxony Anhalt, Thuringia, and Bavaria, as well as the countries Poland and the Czech Republic. Its capital is Dresden. It is the tenth-largest of Germany's sixteen states in area, with an area of 18,413 square kilometres, and, with a population of 4.3 million, the sixth most populous German state,. Located in the middle of a former German-speaking part of Europe, the history of the state of Saxony spans more than a millennium.
