Regenter og slægtsforhold for Meissen

Opdelingen af det tyske område omkring den øvre og midterste del af Elben fandt sted fra omkring år 900. Henrik Fuglefængeren indledte erobringstogter mod øst mod de slaviske stammer og byggede i den anledning en borg ved Elbens bred ved Meissen. Senere blev borgen kendt som Albrechtsburg, og den blev omkring 965 centrum for markgreverne af Meissen.

Det var kejser Otto I som i 965 opdelte området kaldet Geros Mark i fem markgrevskaber bl.a. Meissen, Den Sachsiske Østmark og Nordmarken, der senere blev kendt som Markgrevskabet Brandenburg. Den saksiske markgreve af meissen udvidede i 1000-tallet statens landområde, indtil de stødte på Polens område. Ved en fredsslutning i 1018 accepterede Meissen Polens overhøjhedsret til det østligste område, Øvre Lusatinien, der fra 1076 blev et len under den Böhmiske hersker uddelt af Kejser Henrik IV.

De første markgrever af Meissen er begrænset behandlet herunder, men fra omkring år 1000 blev slægten Wettin efterhånden den styrende og stabile regentfamilie, og alle familiens regenter er behandlet efterstående, indtil Meissen i 1440 endegyldigt indgår i Wettinfamiliens hertugdømmer med skiftende navne og udvekslinger eftersom de mandlige linjer uddøde og andre grene af familien overtog områderne.
