Burgenlandkreis is a district in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Think of a district as a region or a county. This district was formed in 2007. It was created by joining two older districts. These were the old Burgenlandkreis and the Weißenfels districts.
On 1 August 2007, the local government of the district decided something important. They chose to change the name back to Burgenlandkreis. This happened just a short time after the new district was formed.
