Zeitz, March of

The March of Zeitz (is a march of the Holy Roman Empire, created through the division of the marca Geronis in 965, when the Emperor Otto I, on the death of Gero the Great.

Its capital was Zeitz.

Its first and only margrave is Wigger.

In 982, Zeitz is reunited with the marches of Meissen and Merseburg under Ricdag, who thus temporarily reunite all of the southern marca Geronis save the Saxon Ostmark.

In 983, Zeitz is overrun by the Sorbs and the marcher territory fells into the hands of the Slavs.

Nevertheless, the march of Zeitz, along with the later March of Lusatia, is a recurring division of the Meissen march during the reign of the Emperor Henry II.
