history

According to antiquity research, the area around Üllnitz is said to have been the first forms of settlement around 6000 years ago in the Bandkeramikzeit . In the 12th century, Üllnitz must have been a permanent settlement, as its church is of late Romanesque origin. The place Üllnitz was first mentioned in writing in the loan book of Magdeburg Archbishop Albrecht I from 1226. Until 1680, the village belonged to the rulership of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg and was subject to the Archbishopric of Calbe. Then Üllnitz came under Brandenburg-Prussian rule. After Prussia was defeated by Napoleon in 1806 , Üllnitz belonged to the French-ruled Kingdom of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813 and was administered by the Canton Calbe-Land in the Magdeburg district. After Napoleon's defeat, Üllnitz returned to Prussia in 1813 and, after an administrative reform in 1816, was transferred to the newly established district of Calbe a./S. classified. With the opening of the Schönebeck – Güsten railway line in 1857, the village was connected to the German railway network via the Staßfurt station. In the same year, the Eintracht and Albertine pits opened the first lignite opencast mines near the town. While the Caroline mine followed in 1872, a briquette factory had already been built in 1865, and later several brick factories were built on site. As a result of the industrial boom, the number of inhabitants rose to 586 by 1910, but had fallen again to 444 in 1939 at the beginning of the Second World War . In April 1945 Üllnitz was captured by the US Army and handed over to the Red Army in July 1945 . After the GDR was founded in 1949 , it carried out its first district reform on July 1, 1950, with which Üllnitz was assigned to the newly formed district of Schönebeck and incorporated into the community of Glöthe . With a further territorial reform, the states on the territory of the GDR were abolished in favor of districts . This brought Üllnitz to the Magdeburg district . From 1960 onwards, all agricultural businesses in the town belonged to the LPG Glöthe. After the German reunification , the infrastructure of the place was improved from 1990, in particular all streets were rebuilt and the church was renovated. With effect from May 18, 2006, Üllnitz was incorporated together with Glöthe and Brumby into the community of Förderstedt and on January 1, 2009 it became a district of Staßfurt.
