 The Free State of Saxony was reconstituted with slightly altered borders in 1990, following German reunification.Besides the formerly Silesian area of Saxony, which was mostly included in the territory of the new Saxony, the free state gained further areas north of Leipzig that had belonged to Saxony-Anhalt until 1952.The highest mountain in Saxony is the Fichtelberg (1,215 m) in the Western Ore Mountains.
