Braunsbedra is a town in the Saalekreis district, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is situated approximately 11 km southwest of Merseburg.
It was created after 1945 by the merger of Braunsdorf and Bedra.
Roßbach, famous for the Battle of Rossbach, is one of the local communities; the layout of the land had greatly changed since the battle due to coal mining and then flooding of the abandoned mines to create the Geiseltaler Lakes complex[2]
