Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BERNBURG , a town in the duchy of Anhalt, Germany, on the Saale, 29 M. N. by W. from
Halle
  by rail, formerly the
capital
  of the now incorporated duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg. Pop. (1900) 34,427; (1905) 34,929. It consists of four parts, the Altstadt or old town, the Bergstadt or hill town, the Neustadt or new town, and the suburb of Waldauthe Bergstadt on the right and the other three on the left of the river Saale, which is crossed by a massive stone
bridge
 . It is a well-built city, the principal public buildings being the government
house
 , the church of St Mary, the gymnasium and the
house
  of correction. The castle, formerly the ducal residence, is in the Bergstadt, defended by moats, and surrounded by beautiful gardens. Bernburg is the seat of considerable industry, manufacturing machinery and boilers, sugar, pottery and chemicals, and has lead and zinc smelting. Market-gardening is also extensively carried on, and there is a large river
traffic
  in grain and agricultural produce.
Bernburg is of
great
  antiquity. The Bergstadt was fortified by Otto III. in the loth century, and the new town was founded in the 13th. For a long period the different parts were under
separate
  municipalities, the new town uniting with the old in 156o, and the Bergstadt with both in 1824. Prince Frederick removed the ducal residence to
Ballenstedt
  in 1765.
