Oschersleben is a town in the district of Börde, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It covers 189 sq km (73 sq mi) and has a population of 21,000 people (2012 estimate).

Oschersleben is near the river Bode which flows to the north of town. Oschersleben was first mentioned in AD 994. It had developed into a town by the 13th century though a major fire in the 17th century completely razed it.

When it was part of East Germany, Oschersleben was developed into an agricultural center. After reunification, other farm-based industries were established here including a potato-processing plant that produces French fries and potato chips.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
