history

Böddensell was first mentioned in a document in the list of goods of the St. Ludgerus monastery in Helmstedt . In 1311 and 1498 the place was desolate. The Archbishopric of Magdeburg has exercised sovereign rule since the 16th century, and Böddensell was assigned to the wooden circle . After the end of the Thirty Years' War, the Archbishopric passed through secularization to the Duchy of Magdeburg , which in turn became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701 . After Jakob Karl Schenck was inherited from Flechtingen Böddensell, he set up an estate there in 1733. In the same year the manor house was built, and later Schenck had a chapel built.

Between 1807 and 1813 Böddensell belonged to the French-ruled Kingdom of Westphalia under the Napoleon brother Jérôme Bonaparte . After Napoleon was expelled from Germany, the place was again Prussian and in 1815 assigned to the Gardelegen district . Böddensell only had an indirect share in the Neuhaldensleben - Oebisfelde railway line, which was opened in 1872, as the town did not have its own train station and therefore remained purely agricultural. In 1910 the municipality Böddensell had 382 inhabitants, at that time still administratively independent Gutsbezirk had 17 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928, the manor district of Böddensell was united with the rural community of Böddensell. By 1933 the population sank to 340 people.

After the end of the Second World War, Böddensell was initially in the area occupied by American troops, and only from July 1, 1945 did it belong to the Soviet zone of occupation . In the same year, the Böddensell estate was expropriated as part of the land reform . The land was divided among new farmers, the manor house was handed over to the community and later served as a communal kindergarten.

In 1946 the community had 584 inhabitants. In the course of the GDR territorial reform of 1952, Böddensell came to the Haldensleben district in the Magdeburg district . By 1960 there were around 30 private farms in the village. In the course of the year some of them were forcibly transferred to an agricultural production cooperative. In 1964 the number of inhabitants was 347.

After German reunification in 1990 , agriculture in Böddensell was re-privatized and the manor house also came back into private hands. After district area reforms, Böddensell was initially assigned to the Ohrekreis in 1994 and to the Börde district in 2007 . On January 1, 2010, the municipality of Böddensell was dissolved and became part of the newly formed municipality Flechtingen within the Verbandsgemeinde Flechtingen .

Böddensell coat of arms

coat of arms

The local coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch . It was approved on June 5, 1996 by the Magdeburg Regional Council and registered by the Magdeburg State Archives under the coat of arms roll number 45/1996. The blazon was documented: "In blue a silver water tower, accompanied by two golden ears of corn with a leaf."

Previously, Böddensell had a non-state-approved seal showing the water tower that supplies the town and the communities in the surrounding region with drinking water. Since the population has long viewed the water tower as the town's landmark, the council decided to include the seal image in the new coat of arms. The blue color of the shield creates a connection to the water. The ears of corn surrounding the water tower in the coat of arms are supposed to symbolize the agricultural tradition.

According to the area change agreement of June 23, 2009 § 1 paragraph 7, the district may continue to use its previous coat of arms.

flag

The flag of the former municipality has white and blue stripes and is centered with the coat of arms.
