Oechlitz

Oechlitz is a village and a former municipality in the Saalekreis district, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is located approximately 10 kilometers southwest of Merseburg.

The village was first mentioned in historical records in the 12th century. Oechlitz was known for its agricultural activities and rural character.

As part of an administrative reform in Saxony-Anhalt, Oechlitz was incorporated into the town of Mücheln (Geiseltal) on January 1, 2010. Therefore, it no longer exists as an independent municipality.

Information regarding the origin and meaning of the name "Oechlitz" is limited and further etymological research may be required for a definitive understanding. The village, even as part of Mücheln (Geiseltal), remains a residential area within the larger municipality.
