geography

Altendorf is located immediately northwest of the town of Brome on federal highway 244 . In addition to the earlier Rundling near the church, there are other settlement areas, some of which are somewhat isolated from the town center. In the area there are mainly fields and small forest areas. The Ohre flows east of Altendorf . Two kilometers northwest is Benitz , which also belongs to Brome.

history

Traces of the megalithic culture have been found in Altendorf . A fire pit dates from around 300 to 400 AD , the purpose of which is unclear. Altendorf developed into an important place from around the 9th century, mainly thanks to a church. The name comes from the fact that today's Altendorf is the core of the place Brome. The church was destroyed by fire twice, the second time around 1300. Today's St. Pankratius Church was built from 1457 on the remains of the previous church. The construction of the church tower was finished in 1517. The church and the cemetery at the church served several neighboring villages that were connected to Altendorf by footpaths. The immediate neighboring town of Brome grew at the expense of Altendorf, so that the pastorate was finally relocated to Brome.

From 1618 there was a restaurant in Altendorf. In the Thirty Years' War several Altendorfer farms were plundered and destroyed. In 1897 the village received a new schoolhouse, a little later a new cemetery with a chapel. In 1909 the Wittingen – Oebisfelde small railway was routed west of Altendorf.

In 1919, 232 people lived in Altendorf. In 1939 the number had dropped to 201; by 1950 it rose to 359 because of the influx of refugees. In 1984 the population was 203. At the same time, there were 15 farms there.

On July 1, 1965, the Altendorf community became part of the Brome community . On March 1, 1974 it was incorporated into the town of Brome and thus on March 15, 1974 part of the newly founded joint municipality of Brome.

Infrastructure

Altendorf belongs to the Evangelical-Lutheran parish Brome I of the parish association Brome-Tülau / Ehra. The former general store has been converted into a free church. The cemetery is supported by the Brome municipality.

Altendorf is located directly on the B 244. It is served by buses on the VLG line 163 ( Wittingen –Brome / Zicherie ) every two hours and by buses on the ZGB line 165 during school days. In rush hour traffic, buses from the Bachstein transport company drive to the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg .

The school, the only inn (Erhard Heling, Wittinger Straße 2) and the only general store (Hans Robert, Wittinger Straße 5/7) no longer exist.

The nature reserve " Ohreaue bei Altendorf und Brome " lies northeast of the village .
