history

Arnstein was formed from the voluntary amalgamation of ten municipalities of the administrative community Wipper-Eine . The name of the new unified community is derived from the old Arnstein office .

The merger took place against the background of the municipal area reform in Saxony-Anhalt and the associated dissolution of the administrative community Wipper-Eine in favor of a unified municipality. The area change agreement was signed by ten of the twelve member municipalities. In the municipalities of Arnstedt and Wiederstedt, which formerly belonged to the administrative community of Wipper-Eine, approval for the formation of a unified municipality was pending, so that they were co-administered by the city of Arnstein until September 1, 2010.

Localities and districts

Arnstein consists of twelve localities , corresponding to the dissolved communities:
