background
Today's Saxony was from until the early Middle Ages Slavs populated, to which many place and field names can be traced back. In the 10th century the Margraviate of Meissen built and colonized by German settlers. At that time, the name "Saxony" was still associated with a region in northern Germany, most of which is today Lower Saxony corresponds to. The Saxon title of duke fell in the 15th century to the margraves of Meißen and thus the name Saxony was also carried over to their country and its people.
In 1485 the ruling house of the Wettins was divided into an Albertine line (after their progenitor Duke Albrecht) and an Ernestine line (after Elector Ernst). While the Ernestines henceforth in Thuringia ruled (most of the Thuringian princely states therefore also had "Saxony" in their name, e.g. Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach or Saxe-Coburg-Gotha), the Albertines built their rule in Electorate Saxony up. Saxony was one of the first states that the reformation accepted and after the Peace of Augsburg, since the electors were evangelicals, they had to be their subjects as well.
Especially in the 17th and 18th centuries, Saxony was one of the most popular thanks to the rich silver mines in the Ore Mountains and the brisk trade richest countries Germany. This prosperity can be seen in the baroque representative buildings in Dresden and the immeasurable treasures of the Green vault read off.
The electorate was renamed by Napoleon in 1806 kingdom raised, however, at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Niederlausitz (today in Brandenburg) and the south of today's Saxony-Anhalt cede to Prussia. In the 19th century, Saxony was a pioneer in the industrialization in Germany, especially the textile industry, mechanical engineering and printing in Leipzig and Chemnitz boomed tremendously and allowed the Saxon cities to grow rapidly. The Leipzig-Dresdeners railroad-Compagnie operated the first long-distance railway line in Germany from 1839. The many industrial workers made Saxony a cradle of social democracy and gave it the nickname “Red Kingdom”. With listen in Zwickau (a forerunner of Audi) Saxony was one of the early centers of German automobile production alongside Württemberg.
With the end of the Empire in 1918, King Friedrich August III. abdicate. He is supposed to do this with the phrase known in Saxony "Now do a Dregg alleene!" (Well then, do your dirt on your own!) have done what, however, has not been historically proven. Saxony was a free state until 1933 and a state within the Soviet occupation zone from 1945 to 1952. Then it was divided into the three districts of Leipzig, Dresden and Karl-Marx-Stadt (until 1990 the name of Chemnitz). Plauen and Leipzig were two of the earliest starting points for the Peaceful Revolution in the DDR. Since 1990 Saxony has been a free state again and is the easternmost state of the Federal Republic of Germany. Saxony is the most populous and economically strongest of the new federal states. After the interim collapse of the Saxon industry, Saxony is again an automobile (VW in Zwickau, BMW and Porsche in Leipzig) and high-tech location (e.g. Infineon in Dresden).
language
The official language in all of Saxony is German; in the communities with a Sorbian population in Lusatia there is also Sorbian, a Slavic language that is related to Polish and Czech (all Sorbs are bilingual and speak fluent German).
Contrary to what most non-Saxons assume, hardly any dialect is spoken in Saxony. What is now called “Saxon” or “Saxon” is actually just a regional colloquial language. The "real" Saxon became extinct in most parts of Saxony 100 years ago, only in Ore Mountains and Vogtland dialect is still spoken today by broader strata of the population. The degree of Saxon coloring varies from speaker to speaker and ranges from a slightly “Saxon” pronunciation of High German to barely understandable. Since it is not a real dialect, but only a variant of Standard German (the latter, incidentally, has mainly developed from the office language of Saxon officials - that should also surprise Hanoverians & Co.!), You should "listen in" very quickly. Many Saxons also try to speak more clearly when they notice that the interlocutor is from "outside".

to buy
Above all in Leipzig, Dresden and Chemnitz there are many shopping opportunities, both in malls and large department stores as well as in smaller, individual shops. Even in medium-sized cities there is usually still a satisfactory range of options. In some small towns and villages, however, shops are dying out, as residents go shopping in the big cities or shopping centers on the green meadow or order online. You have to be happy to find a small shop at all here.
Typical specialties of Saxony that are worth taking with you are, for example, the famous Plauener Spitze, which can be purchased particularly cheaply in Plauen, Christmas carvings from the Ore Mountains or the Dresden Stollen, which can also be bought very cheaply on site at Christmas time.
The traditional flagship company of Saxony is the State Porcelain Manufactory Meissen in Meißen. If it is to be a stylish souvenir from Saxony, it has to come from this manufactory. Porcelain of various qualities (1st and 2nd choice) can be purchased at the production site in Meißen. A Meissen shop and a Meissen outlet can also be found in Dresden.
kitchen
The typical Saxon cuisine is mostly hearty, similar to the Thuringian one. These include B. the Saxon potato soup and the sauerbraten. Dumplings or dumplings are served with many dishes. You should also try the Leipziger Allerlei, a vegetable dish made from young peas, carrots, asparagus and morels.
Saxony is also a "sweet paradise", for example Quarkkäulchen (fried dumplings made from a potato-quark dough with raisins, sugar and cinnamon) or (Dresden) egg pancake (three-layer sheet cake: thin base made of yeast dough, quark pudding layer in the Middle, top wide layer of loose egg yolk cream). No German state stands for cakes and pies like that - Gaffee and Guchn is a necessary meal for many “Coffee Saxons”.
The local cuisine of course varies from place to place, especially in the Lower Silesian part of the country in the east, im Ore Mountains and in Vogtland there are very own cooking traditions that can differ significantly from the rest of Saxony, see the respective regional articles.
nightlife
Especially in Leipzig, Dresden and Chemnitz there are a multitude of pubs, bars and discos so that all wishes can be met. In rural areas, on the other hand, as in most regions, the offers are rather rare.

The Day of Prayer and Repentance was deleted as a public holiday in Germany in 1994. A regulation in the interests of employers to cushion the additional burden of expanding social insurance for employees (long-term care insurance). The public holiday was only retained in Saxony, for which employees have to pay a higher insurance amount. Which leads to the effect that this holiday is financed by every regular employee in Saxony in a way that can be calculated on their pay slip.
In some parishes of the Upper Lusatia with a predominantly Sorbian, i.e. also Catholic, population Corpus Christi public holiday, which is duly celebrated there with church services and the Corpus Christi processions in memory of the Last Supper.
Christmas Eve (December 24th) and New Year's Eve (December 31st) are not public holidays. Nevertheless, many businesses are closed all day and many shops and leisure facilities are closed from midday on these days. Depending on the city, local public transport can be severely restricted or even stopped from the afternoon onwards. Most of the restaurants are also closed on Christmas Eve.

security
As is generally the case in Germany, the general security situation is good.
Exceptions are primarily events in the big cities, such as in the vicinity of football games (here especially Lok Leipzig and Dynamo Dresden have achieved sad national fame; Chemnitzer FC also has an obviously problematic fan structure), as well as due to political demonstrations and counter-demonstrations, which may well lead to injuries and arrests.
Especially in rural parts of Saxony, often in small towns, locally open neo-Nazi scenes have developed and right-wing extremist violence against people who appear to be foreign or "alternative" looks has occurred time and again. In individual cases, so-called “ordinary people” are also involved, so that a problematic environment cannot be identified by the typical scene outfits alone. After incidents where US citizens were also affected, the website of the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE published travel advice that describes the situation well: Hooligans, most often drunken “skinheads,” have harassed and attacked perceived foreigners or members of rival groups. Seemingly racially-motivated assaults (because of a "foreign" appearance) against U.S. citizens have occurred.
Even if it is no longer just a matter of individual cases, one cannot (yet) speak of no-go areas and if one looks at Saxony as a whole, the individual risk of falling victim to such an attack is low. Nevertheless, increased attention is required.
