It became an important centre in 1570, when the <a href="/wiki/Principality_of_Anhalt" title="Principality of Anhalt">Principality of Anhalt</a> was founded. Dessau became the capital of this state within the <a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire" title="Holy Roman Empire">Holy Roman Empire</a>. In 1603, the state was split into four – later five – Anhalts, Dessau becoming the capital of the mini-state of <a href="/wiki/Anhalt-Dessau" title="Anhalt-Dessau">Anhalt-Dessau</a>. In 1863 two of the noble lines died out, and the Duchy of Anhalt became reunited.

The head of the town of Schultheiss was appointed by the count. Together with a few assessors, the Schultheiss formed the town council. As of 1372, the town council was divided into two agencies, as of 1600 into three agencies, and as of 1785 again into two agencies. The Schultheiss of Dessau changed nearly every year until the town council constitution was cancelled in 1832. Afterwards Dessau became a Town Council and a Town Delegation Constitution. Since 1852 the town leader has the title of mayor. During <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">the National Socialist period</a> the mayor was appointed by the party (<a href="/wiki/NSDAP" class="mw-redirect" title="NSDAP">NSDAP</a>). After <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Soviets" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviets">Soviets</a> formed an executive council with a mayor. The town council constitution was elected by the people. Since <a href="/wiki/German_reunification" title="German reunification">German reunification</a> this committee has been freely elected. Since 1994 it has been called the Stadtrat. Since 1994, the mayor is directly elected by the people. </p><p>In 2007, Dessau became part of the municipality of Dessau-Roßlau. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mayor">Mayor</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dessau&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Mayor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/w/index.php?title=Peter_Kuras&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Peter Kuras (page does not exist)">Peter Kuras</a> (born 1958) was elected mayor of Dessau-Roßlau in June 2014 with 75.82% of the votes for a term of seven years.
