Location of Apenburg in Saxony-Anhalt |
Apenburg is a district of the borough Apenburg-Winterfeld in Altmark Salzwedel in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany).
geography
The Altmark village of Apenburg is located north of a wetland area formed by the Purnitz and Milde rivers . There is a small wooded area to the west and agricultural land to the northeast. The place is halfway between Salzwedel in the north and Gardelegen in the south, but without a direct road connection.
history
As early as the year 1000, at the intersection of the old trade routes from Salzwedel to Klötze and from Osterburg to Beetzendorf, a castle belonging to the von Apenborch family is believed to be part of a rural settlement. The complex, located southwest of today's location, was first mentioned in historical sources in 1264. When Margrave Ludwig waged war against Duke Otto von Braunschweig in 1343 , Apenborch Castle and with it the settlement were destroyed. Just one year later, Apenburg was re-established roughly at the same time as Apenburg Castle at its current location. At the same time councilors are mentioned, an indication of the status of a city. When the city was founded, the construction of a church began. In 1351 the margrave enfeoffed the von der Schulenburg family with the castle and town. The construction of the castle was completed in 1363. The city received a fortification consisting of a rampart, a moat and two gates, which, however, had already disappeared again by the end of the Middle Ages. In 1402, Apenburg was officially granted the town charter in the Salzwedel . This remained in force until the Thirty Years' War , after which the place, partially destroyed in the war, was only referred to as a market town. Its development stagnated in the period that followed, and the number of inhabitants, who were mostly arable citizens, did not exceed 200 for a long time.
Since Albrecht the Bear (1100-1170) under the Brandenburg-Prussian state government, Apenburg came after the defeat of Prussia Napoleon I in 1806 under French rule in the Kingdom of Westphalia . This also ended the rule of the von der Schulenburg family over the place. After the Congress of Vienna it belonged again to Prussia , and in 1818 it was incorporated into the Salzwedel district (Magdeburg administrative district). The beginning of the 19th century industrialization had little influence on Apenburg. In addition to a brandy distillery, only a few smaller factories were built and the connection to the Beetzendorf - Kalbe / Milde railway line in 1899 did not bring any further expansion. In 1910, 1182 people lived in Groß Apenburg.
In 1953 the first type III agricultural production cooperative was established , the LPG "Ernst Goldenbaum", which in 1954 was merged with the LPG "Jenny Marx" Apenburg-Nord . In 1959 the LPG type III was merged with the LPGs Apenburg-Süd and Rittleben to form an LPG. In 1960 the LPG type I is called "Alte Burg", which was then connected to the LPG type III. This resulted in LPG animal production, which was converted into "Agrarproduktion Apenburg eG" in 1992.
New mill
Today's residential area Neue Mühle an der Purnitz in the north of Apenburg is mentioned in 1801 as a water mill with a fireplace and 6 residents. It is mentioned in a document for the first time as “Olle Mölle” in 1300, but it can be even older. In 1951 the half-timbered tower on the west side of the mill was dismantled because it was in disrepair. In 1958 the mill operator suffered a fatal accident when a wall collapsed at the waterfall.
Incorporations
On September 30, 1928 the manor district Groß Apenburg was united with the rural community Groß Apenburg.
The community of Apenburg was formed on July 1, 1950 by the merger of the communities Groß Apenburg and Klein Apenburg from the district of Salzwedel . On July 25, 1952, the community was assigned to the district of Klötze .
In 1960 Rittleben became part of the municipality.
In the district directory of the state of Saxony-Anhalt from 2006, the districts (districts) Flecken Apenburg, Apenburg-Nord and Rittleben were listed for the former community of Flecken Apenburg.
Apenburg was incorporated into the new municipality of Apenburg-Winterfeld on July 1, 2009. Since July 11, 1997, the municipality of Apenburg has had the addition of Flecken , which was transferred to the Apenburg-Winterfeld area that was newly formed on July 1, 2009 . Since the incorporation, the name of the district is Apenburg . Its extension corresponds to the original community of Groß Apenburg . The districts of the former municipality were assigned to the new municipality.

Religions
Church of St. Johannis Baptistae
The Protestant church and parish belong to the parish Apenburg Apenburg area of the church district Salzwedel in Propst Sprengel Stendal Magdeburg of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
The original building of the Protestant church in Apenburg was probably built between 1340 and 1372 and was consecrated to the patron saint John the Baptist (Greek baptistae = Baptist). Today the church consists of the original Romanesque , rectangular nave, which was made of field stones, and a west tower, the basement of which is also made of field stones, while a two-storey half-timbered tower with red bricks was built above it. The half-timbered floors were built in 1820. The high spire, completed in 1825, is eight-sided and covered with slate . The windows of the chancel are arched , framed with bricks and decorated with two and three-part tracery . The windows on the side walls have baroque style elements.
The interior of the nave is closed off by a flat wooden barrel vault . There are galleries on the west and north sides . The altar donated by the patron family von der Schulenburg in 1372 is no longer there, but the column-flanked altarpiece from 1610 with the altarpiece "The Lord's Vineyard" is. Like the eight-sided stone font from 1615, it is a gift from Dietrich von der Schulenburg and his wife Catharina, née. from Veltheim. The wooden multi-sided pulpit with carved figures depicting the evangelists and a crown-shaped sound cover was made in 1710. The neo-baroque organ front from 1915 takes up the entire width of the west gallery. A small prospectus from the 17th century has been incorporated. The organ was built by the Hanoverian organ builder Adolf Wagner in the middle of the 19th century and has 18 stops and two manuals . It was last renovated in 1947, but has not been usable for a long time. A wooden epitaph from 1715 and several grave slabs from the 16th to 18th centuries, including that of Werner von der Schulenburg († 1572) with a relief figure and ancestral coat of arms, remind of the patronage family von der Schulenburg . The late Gothic tabernacle with its twisted column stump also bears a Schulenburg coat of arms.
The bell of the church consists of three bells in the tones f - a flat - b. The oldest and smallest bell was probably cast from bronze in the first half of the 14th century . Two bells were melted down during World War II and only replaced by two new cast iron bells in 1958 . In 1964 an electric bell drive was installed.
A detailed description of the church's tombstones and epitaphs was published in 1868 by Adolf Matthias Hildebrandt.
In neighboring Klein Apenburg there is another Protestant village church. The evangelical parish has around 520 parishioners, it belongs to the parish of Salzwedel.
Catholic chapel
In 1541 the Reformation was introduced in Apenburg , so that the population and the church became Protestant. It was not until 1945 that a Catholic parish was formed again in Apenburg , triggered by the influx of displaced persons as a result of the Second World War . From the summer of 1945 Catholic services were held in Apenburg, in the hall of a restaurant or in the Protestant church. In 1953 the first chapel was set up in a former furniture store , and its benediction took place on September 20, 1953 . In 1954 a curate was set up in Apenburg , to which around 600 Catholics belonged at the time, and Apenburg got a local priest . Apenburg was previously part of the parish vicarie Beetzendorf . In 1956/57 a new chapel was set up, also in the former furniture store, and the first chapel was converted into a community hall. No priest has lived in Apenburg since 1957, from then on the chapel was looked after by the priests responsible for Beetzendorf. Today the Catholics in Apenburg belong to the parish of St. Laurentius , based in Salzwedel.
