geography

Büden lies between the Fläming and Magdeburg Elbe valleys. The surrounding area is purely agricultural with soils of medium yield. The center of Möckern is nine kilometers away and can be reached after a two-kilometer cul-de-sac on federal highway 246 . The train station is located on the southern outskirts of the village on the Biederitz – Altengrabow railway line, which is no longer regularly used for passenger traffic .

In terms of natural space , the place belongs to the Zerbster Land , an arable open cultural landscape and 536 km² main unit of the superordinate main unit group of the Fläming in the north German lowlands . The Zerbster Land forms the southwestern roof of the Fläming to the Elbe and belongs to the catchment area of ​​this river.

history

Archaeological finds have shown that Germanic peoples settled in the area of ​​today's location during the Iron Age (~ 600 BC) . They were replaced by Slavs from the 5th century , who gave the place its name. It first appeared as Budim, which means something like "place of Budim". Budim was first mentioned in 992 in a deed of donation for the Memleben monastery .

With the renewed German colonization of the East Elbe area from the 12th century, Büden developed as a round village. In the meantime it had become the property of the Magdeburg Cathedral Chapter . A church in Romanesque style was built in the center of the village at the beginning of the 13th century . A hall and a tower were built from rubble stones, which towered over the nave by two meters in width and an unusual fifteen meters in height. The patronage was initially taken over by the Leitzkau monastery , towards the end of the 16th century the lord of the castle von Leitzkau von Münchhausen. In the 17th century Büden was almost depopulated by the plague and the Thirty Years War . After the end of the war, Büden finally came under the Brandenburg-Prussian sphere of influence.

The repopulation of Büden after the peace treaty of 1648 can be traced using the church book ( church book ), which begins with new entries in 1657. You can z. B. track the farm (perhaps several farms) of a Schnell family who may have immigrated from Braunschweig. But that is very uncertain, because there is at least one Andreas Schnelle, who died in Magdeburg in 1640 (the city was already destroyed by imperial troops in 1631), who is referred to as the "war captain of the old town of Magdeburg" (and therefore in Magdeburg before 1640 was resident). However, no connection to the Schnelle family in Büden has yet to be made out. The dates of birth of the Schnelle family can be calculated back to 1602 without the place of birth being known from this time. Büden was largely spared (in contrast to many localities in the area, Nedlitz ( Nedlitz (Gommern), for example) was completely destroyed) by Swedish mercenaries, and in 1641 a Bartholomäus Pitzschius from Nedlitz took over the pastorate of Büden, as he was in his own Place had no more accommodation. There were disputes between the population and the pastor, who used the church in Büden as a residence (a corresponding correspondence with the authorities has been preserved).

In 1643 Pastor Pitzschius finally had to quit his duties under pressure from the population, and the pastor's position remained vacant until 1651 (the pastors in Büden have been known by name since 1552). - A small bell in the church dates from 1654 and was destroyed by lightning in 1929. - A site plan from 1898 shows around 15 farmsteads clustered around the church in a semicircle, and this village image is generally much older. Due to the division of the estate ( real division ), the livelihood of one of the Schnelle family's farms in Büden deteriorated, and a Johann Peter Schnelle (* 1750; † 1823) married around 1783 in Barleben near Magdeburg. A new line of the Schnelle family descends from him, most recently among others Fritz Schnelle (* 1900; † 1990).

Apparently another farm was owned by a Johann Peter Schnelle (* 1783; † 1853) who had no descendants and left the farm to a related foster daughter. Through this family Hase (or Haase) the court came to Johann Peter Bethge (* 1802; † 1870). Shortly after his wedding in 1828, a fire broke out in the village on July 13, 1829, which also destroyed this courtyard. Bethge rebuilt it on the old farm; later he came to the Schmidt family by marriage. B. Heinrich Friedrich Schmidt (* 1892; † 1947) has farmed it to the present day. Today there is a lovable, privately run local history museum in this courtyard, looked after by Bärbel Schmidt (Dorfstrasse 3 in the Büden district of 39291 Möckern), who has also carried out extensive research on the history of the village and the history of the Schnelle family.

Until 1806 Büden was administratively subordinate to the 1st District of the Jerichow District in the Duchy of Magdeburg . During the Westphalian interim rule in Magdeburg, the village became part of the Kurmark and after the end of the wars of liberation it became part of the Jerichow I district of the Magdeburg administrative district in the Prussian province of Saxony . As a result of a census from December 1861, there were 150 fire places, 339 residents and a Protestant parish , which belonged to the superintendent district and post-order district in Möckern. The relevant main course of the first instance was in the castle and the appeal court in Magdeburg. A military relationship prescribed at the time assigned the inhabitants of the 7th Company of the 2nd Battalion of Regiment No. 26 of the 1st Magdeburg Landwehr .

Carl Mücke , an education politician, author and newspaper editor who had emigrated to South Australia, was born in Büden in 1815 .

The establishment of a school for 70 children in 1878 is the first sign of a structural upswing. In 1890 Büden's citizens were able to modernize their church. Using bricks, the walls of the nave were raised and provided with larger windows. With the opening of the Magdeburg – Loburg railway line in 1892, the Büdener train station began operations, and in 1894 the village received its own post office. In 1908 a new, larger cemetery was set up. The number of inhabitants rose from 234 in 1840 to 419 in 1900. Agriculture has always been the main source of income. The large farms with their large residential buildings, barns and stables, mostly equipped with an elaborately designed archway, prove that they generated good yields. The so-called Dutch mill from 1683 was in operation until 1925.

Agriculture continued to dominate Büden even after the Second World War . In 1953 the 18 existing farms had to merge to form an LPG as part of the collectivization of agriculture . It went on in 1960 in the Groß-LPG Königsborn . Mainly potatoes were grown in the Büdener Flur, and a large fertilizer store was set up at the station. In the meantime the population had steadily decreased. In 1950 there were still 480 people living in the village, in 1968 there were only 381. In 1974 Büden was incorporated into the large municipality of Königsborn, which, however, was dissolved again after ten years. Due to a lack of finances and building materials that could not be procured, the church fell into disrepair and burned down completely in 1985.

Only with the end of the political system in the GDR could the village community begin to rebuild the Church of St. Mauritius. With money from a compensation fund, subsidies and donations from the population, the newly founded church building association succeeded in first re-covering the roofs and replacing the windows and doors. The platform on the tower can be reached via a wooden staircase, from where the viewer has a large-scale view of the surroundings.

With the establishment of an agricultural cooperative, the development of local agriculture continued - and an industrial area was created at the train station. A new town house was built in the village and all streets were paved with modern paving. Büden has been incorporated into the town of Möckern since January 1st, 2003.

politics

The interests of the town of Büden are represented by a local council with the mayor Erika Specht, who was elected by him on June 9, 2008, within the town of Möckern.
