history
prehistory
Surprisingly, more than 130 patinated flint artefacts, mainly cuttings , have been plowed out of a field near Haldensleben since 2017 . They were located in layers of sand that were formed on moraines when glaciers melted and show features of old and middle Paleolithic tools. Since they can be assigned to the Saale glaciation, their age is between 400,000 and 130,000 years; they are likely to be assigned to one of the warm phases in which people, possibly Neanderthals , visited the area otherwise made uninhabitable by ice masses.
First mention, old and new Haldensleben
Haldensleben was first mentioned in a document in 966. It appears as “hahaldeslevo” in a document in which Emperor Otto I enfeoffed a certain Mamaco with the county of Haldensleben . Neuhaldensleben was a merchant settlement of the Burgwartfeste Althaldensleben in Northern Thuringia , which was granted market rights in 1150 . The city was destroyed in 1181 after a long siege by Archbishop Wichmann of Magdeburg . The siege was only successful because the attackers dammed up their ears and flooded the city. Since 1215 Haldensleben belonged to the Archdiocese of Magdeburg . In 1223 the reconstruction of the city of Neuhaldensleben began. The Cistercian convent Althaldensleben was founded in Althaldensleben in 1228 , a foundation by Archbishop Albrecht I. In 1277 the first city council was formed in Neuhaldensleben. In 1526 the market rights were granted again and in 1541 the Reformation was introduced. In 1636 the plague claimed over 2,000 victims, and in 1661 a major fire destroyed 60 houses.
The Lüneburger Heerstraße once ran through the town , a trade route that has existed since the Middle Ages and led from Leipzig via Calvörde and Braunschweig to Lüneburg .
Brandenburg-Prussia
Since 1680 Neuhaldensleben, as a so-called Immediatstadt, was directly subordinate to the Brandenburg-Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg and was in the Holzkreis until 1807 . During this time (1701–1703) the construction of the town hall, which was later converted into a classicistic style, also fell. Under Napoleon, the area of the Duchy of Magdeburg west of the Elbe was assigned to the Kingdom of Westphalia of his brother Jérôme , with Halberstadt becoming the seat of the Saale department . In 1810 the monastery was abolished. The buildings were sold to Johann Gottlob Nathusius , who drove the industrialization of the villages of Althaldensleben and Hundisburg. The ceramics industry and agricultural machinery were founded, and a sugar factory , the second in Germany to produce sugar from beetroot , was built. After the Congress of Vienna Neuhaldensleben became Prussian again, from then on it belonged to the newly created Province of Saxony and in 1816 became a district town.
time of the nationalsocialism
In 1938, after the Mittelland Canal went into operation , Alt- and Neuhaldensleben were merged to form Haldensleben. During the National Socialist era , the doctors and nurses at the regional hospital took part in the National Socialist murders , which killed 41 patients between 1941 and 1945. On April 10, 1945, around 1,600 concentration camp prisoners from the Mittelbau-Dora camp were driven through the city in two marching blocks towards Bülstringen . On April 13, 1945, units of the United States Army occupied the city. In the course of this, three canal bridges were blown up. The US flag fluttered over the town hall. After the American occupation had been replaced by the British military administration on June 1, 1945 , the Red Army entered Haldensleben on July 1, 1945.
City extensions (1950, again from 1991)
In 1950 the city was expanded to include industrial areas in the east and residential areas in the south. In 1963 Albertine Plock, granddaughter of Wilhelm Grimm , left part of the estate of the Brothers Grimm to the district museum (see Grimm exhibition in Haldensleben ).
The city expanded through the incorporation of Wedringen (1991), Satuelle (1992), Uthmöden (1992) and Hundisburg (1994). In 1992/93 the industrial area Haldensleben Ost was completed. The city won gold in the 2005 competition Our city is blossoming . In 2006 and 2008, Haldensleben was also voted the most family-friendly municipality in Saxony-Anhalt and in 2011 “Municipality of the Year” in Saxony-Anhalt. On January 1, 2014, Süplingen was incorporated with its district of Bodendorf.

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on September 8, 1995 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.
Blazon : “In gold a blue castle with two four-window towers with red pointed roofs and knobs, connected by a tinned wall with an open black gate and golden gate wings; between the towers is an upright black key with a beard to the right. "
This coat of arms, which was later included in the council seal, probably dates from the time when Haldensleben received city rights from Heinrich the Lion . While the castle points to the fortifications and defenses of the city, perhaps also to Haldesleva Castle, which was already mentioned in a document by Emperor Otto I , the key probably indicates the location between Altmark and Magdeburg Börde: Haldensleben is the key between Altmark and Börde.
The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch .
flag
The flag of the city shows the colors blue / yellow with the applied city coat of arms.
