With 24,850 inhabitants at the end of 2015, it is the largest town in the district of [[Nordsachsen]]. Archaeological evidence outside the town limits points to a settlement dating from the [[Neolithic Age]]. The first documented mention of Delitzsch dates from 1166 and it later became the [[Elector of Saxony]]'s residence in the 17th and 18th centuries. The [[old town]] is well preserved, with several plazas, citizens' and patrician houses, towers, a baroque castle and the town's fortifications. Delitzsch and its surrounding area contain water areas, hiking and cycling networks and nature reserves.
