Peter, I just wanted to make you aware that you have posted your query on the wrong message board, but this is a common error in a case like yours. Schneidlingen and Aschersleben are not located in the state of Saxony (in German: Sachsen; capital: Dresden), but rather in what was until 1945 the Prussian province of Saxony (in Germany: Provinz Sachsen; capital: Halle). You've confused the two.

Following World War II and the break-up of the huge state of Prussia (in German: Preussen), most of the Prussian province of Saxony and the very small state of Anhalt (capital: Dessau) combined to form today's state of Saxony-Anhalt (in German: Sachsen-Anhalt), the capital of which today is the city of Magdeburg.

So you should have posted your query on the Saxony-Anhalt (Sachsen-Anhalt) message board rather than on this message board.

Robert
