East German state known locally as Sachsen (6)

I believe the answer is:

saxony

(Other definitions for saxony that I've seen before include "Fine woollen cloth" , "(Historic) state of eastern Germany" , "German state with Dresden as capital" , "Old German kingdom" , "Invaders originating here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
