Amt Sandesleben

Amt Freckleben

The Ämter of Sandesleben and Freckleben were among the original Ämter assigned to Anhalt-Dessau when the Principality of Anhalt was divided in 1606, despite their geographic separation from the rest of the principality. Some time in the 18th century (I estimate 1787), the two Ämter were combined under the Sandesleben name. That Amt remained part of Anhalt-Dessau until Anhalt was reunited in 1863.

The village of Kleinschierstedt actually fell partly in Amt Warmsdorf of Anhalt-Köthen. I list it with Amt Sandersleben because that is where the church was located.
