It ended in 2008. It was southwest of the city of Leipzig. Leipzig City has its own government. == History == The district was formed in [[1994]] by joining the old districts of Leipzig, Borna and Geithain. The area south of Leipzig City is a big [[lignite]] mining area. It will be turned lakeland in the near future. The lignite made the Leipzig area the biggest industrial part of [[East Germany]]. == Coat of arms == {| |- valign=top ||[[Image:Wappen Landkreis Leipziger Land.png|100px|Coat of arms]] ||The lion to the right is the symbol of the Counts of [[Meißen]], the vertical blue stripes (called ''pales'' in [[heraldry]]) in the bottom are the symbol of [[Landsberg]].
