Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WEISSENFELS , a town of Germany, in the Prussian province of Saxony, situated on the Saale 20 m. S.W. of
Leipzig
  and 19 M. S. of
Halle
  by the main line to Bebra and Frankfort-on-Main. Pop. (1905) 30,894. It contains three churches, a spacious market-place and various educational and benevolent institutions. The former palace, called the Augustusburg, built in 1664-1690, lies on an eminence near the town; this spacious edifice is now used as a military school. Weissenfels manufactures machinery, ironware,
paper
  and other goods, and has an electrical power-
house
 . In the neighbourhood are large deposits of sandstone and lignite. Weissenfels is a place of considerable antiquity, and from 1656 till 1746 it was the
capital
  of the small duchy of Saxe-Weissenfels, a branch of the electoral
house
  of Saxony, founded by
Augustus
 , second son of the elector John George I. The
body
  of Gustavus
Adolphus
  was embalmed at Weissenfels after the battle of Liitzen.
See Sturm, Chronik der Stadt Weissenfels (Weissenfels, 1846); and
