Pretzien is a town in the district of Salzlandkreis in Saxony-Anhalt in Germany.

In June 2006 there was a scandal after some newspapers reported, that some neo-nazis had burned the book "The Diary of a Young Girl" (by Anne Frank) at a public celebration of Solstice on 24th June. Pritzien Mayor Friedrich Harwig had supported the right winged Club: "„Heimat-Bund Ostelbien e.V.”", which had organized the celebration. The club had been founded by members of the NPD.
