history

View from the castle hill

Arneburg is one of the oldest cities in the Altmark and was first referred to as civitatis ("city") in 984 . The castle of the same name was built around 925 under Heinrich I as a border fortress against the Slavs and was mentioned in 978 as an Ottonian imperial castle and the most important fortification of what was then Nordmark, alongside Kalbe , Tangermünde and Osterburg . The castle was frequent residence of Emperor Otto III. and Henry II (993, 997 and 1012). The Benedictine monastery in Arneburg existed around this time .

Around the middle of the 14th century, Margrave Ludwig the Roman of Brandenburg renewed the city rights of the citizens of Arneburg. The oldest building in the city is the Romanesque town church of St. Georg , built around 1200 . It is one of the oldest churches in the Altmark.

The operation of a ferry near Arneburg has been documented since 1420. In the 15th century Arneburg became the seat of the Hohenzollern in the Mark Brandenburg . In 1499 the Brandenburg Elector Johann Cicero died at Arneburg Castle. On July 5, 1767, the city including the church was largely devastated by a fire. Friedrich II donated 26,000 thalers for the reconstruction. The building material for the reconstruction was obtained from the castle, which has since become a ruin. Therefore only the foundation walls of the castle are left today.

Incorporations

On December 1, 1935, the municipality of Bürs was incorporated into the city of Arneburg. Today, Bürs is run as a small settlement (residential area) by Arneburg.

The municipality of Beelitz , which was incorporated into Arneburg on July 1, 1973 , was removed again on January 1, 1991, before Beelitz was again incorporated into Arneburg on July 1, 2009.

On April 17, 1974, the district Dalchau was assigned to the city of Arneburg. Dalchau was incorporated into Altenzaun on January 1, 1969. Already on September 30, 1928, the Dalchau manor district was merged with the Dalchau rural community. On September 30, 1928 the manor district Niedergörne was united with the rural community Dalchau. Thus, the district Niedergörne belonged to Dalchau and from January 1st 1969 (incorporation of Dalchau in Altenzaun) to Altenzaun. At the end of 1975 the village of Niedergörne was relocated, the buildings and the church were demolished and some of the deceased were reburied.

Remarks:

^b Citizens' Initiative Arneburg

After the last local election on May 26, 2019, the city council was composed as follows:

• CDU : 7 seats
• Citizens' initiative Arneburg: 5 seats

The CDU currently has 8 seats and the Arneburg citizens' initiative 4 seats as full members of the city council.

The mayor is also a member of the city council.

coat of arms

Blazon : “In silver over blue water, a red, black-grooved castle wall with a tinned gate tower with a half-open golden portcullis and two wall towers, each with a round arched window, covered with green and kneaded with gold, the right tower with a gable roof and the left with a pointed roof; a gold-armored red eagle floating above the gate tower. "

Nothing could be determined about the origin and time of creation of the coat of arms. Castle and eagle are probably talking symbols (Arneburg = eagle castle) or the eagle stands for the Mark Brandenburg, while the water symbolizes the geographical location of Arneburg on the Elbe. The different towers in Arneburg's coat of arms most likely refer to a former monastery and castle in Arneburg.

flag

The flag was approved by the county on October 19, 2009.

The flag is striped red and white (1: 1) (landscape format: stripes running horizontally, lengthwise format: stripes running vertically) and centered with the city coat of arms.

The flag designs come from the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch from Magdeburg.

Economy and Infrastructure

The industrial park near Dalchau

Nuclear power plant

→ Main article : Stendal nuclear power plant

The Stendal nuclear power plant was built five kilometers north of the city on the site of Niedergörne, which was specially razed for this project . Unit 1 started on December 1, 1982; Unit 2 on December 1, 1984. The serious safety deficiencies of the Soviet reactors used were known even before the fall of the Berlin Wall (and feared since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986). However, construction was not stopped until the beginning of 1991. The Altmark industrial and commercial park was built on the site of the former power station.

Planned coal power plant

On the site of the nuclear power plant, the RWE company planned to build a hard coal power plant from 2008 (see also list of planned coal power plants in Germany ). The 1600 MW twin block was supposed to be fired with imported coal from Australia, Colombia and South Africa and would have emitted an estimated 9 million tons of CO ₂ per year; the construction costs were estimated at around 2.2 billion euros, of which around 14% should come from tax funds as investment subsidies. Around 100 jobs should be created in the power plant. The citizens' initiative against the coal power plant Arneburg e. V. called for resistance to the project. When construction began in 2011, commissioning was planned for 2015. In 2009/10, the deep recession caused hesitation to make such investments; from March 2011 it was the energy turnaround announced by the federal government after the start of the Fukushima nuclear disaster .

Due to low electricity prices at many times of the day (the expansion of wind energy and photovoltaics is progressing; the amount of electricity generated in this way is pushing the price on the electricity exchange ), several large energy companies have given up or postponed investments in hard coal power stations. RWE announced the final end for Arneburg in April 2013.

Pulp Stendal

One of the most modern pulp mills in Europe is located in the Altmark industrial and commercial park, the majority of which belongs to the Mercer Group . The plant was inaugurated in 2004 by Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD) and Saxony-Anhalt's Prime Minister Wolfgang Böhmer (CDU). Around one billion euros were invested. This mill is designed to produce 600,000 tons of pulp per year. Around two million solid cubic meters of round wood are required as raw material per year. Almost 600 people are employed at the site. The organic waste, especially tree bark, is used in a biomass incinerator to generate energy. The plant's power plant supplies 90 megawatts, of which 35 megawatts are fed into the public power grid.

Paper mill

In autumn 2006, production started at Delipapier GmbH , a subsidiary of the Italian paper company Sofidel . This plant was built on a previously undeveloped area of ​​300,000 m² south of the train station and received a rail connection to the pulp mill located in the industrial park. Around 200 million euros were invested. 220 jobs were created. Around 60,000 tons of hygiene paper leave this plant every year.

Biomethane plant

In 2012, the construction of a biomethane refinery began in the Altmark industrial and commercial park, which has been feeding around 700 m³ of processed biomethane with a methane content of 99% into the gas network every hour since May 2013 .

traffic

The Arneburg ferry , a yaw cable ferry , provides the connection to the east bank of the Elbe. A jetty with a boat service center was built in the winter harbor.

The Stendal – Niedergörne railway connects the industrial park with Stendal . Passenger traffic also took place here until 1998. Part of this route follows the former Stendal – Arneburg line of the former Stendaler Kleinbahn . This was operated until 1972.

Regular buses run by Regionalverkehr Westsachsen (RVW) under the brand name stendalbus .
