File Map saxony1900.png thumb 270px Kingdom of Saxony, about 1900 Upper Saxony Obersachsen was a name given to the majority of the German lands held by the House of Wettin , in what is now called Mitteldeutschland Halle Leipzig Mitteldeutschland . The name derives from when, after the fall of Duke Henry the Lion in 1180, the medieval Duchy of Saxony dissolved and the Saxe Wittenberg lands passed to the House of Ascania and later to the Wettins in the Margraviate of Meissen . These dynasties subdued areas east of the Saale river inhabited by Polabian Slavs , and took the tribal name Sachsen Saxons upstream the Elbe with them. It was particularly to distinguish the newly conquered lands from Lower Saxony , a concept which arose later in popular usage though never enforced as a term for the original Saxon lands in north and west Germany where West Low German dialects had spread , in what is now the States of Germany state of Lower Saxony , as well as the adjacent Westphalia n region, Holstein and the western part of todays Saxony Anhalt north of the Harz range Eastphalia . The Wettin lands up the Elbe formed an Electorate of Saxonyelectorate , which later headed the Upper Saxon Circle , acquired the Upper Lusatia n region and finally was raised to a Kingdom of Saxony Kingdom . Thus the mid German inhabitants of the German state of Saxony today are known as Saxons. This is true of the media, though the East Central German dialects of Upper Saxon German Upper Saxon Mei enisch and Osterl ndisch are placed in the Thuringian dialect Thuringian Upper Saxon continuum.
