history

The first documentary mention was made in 1145 in a document in which the village was confirmed as the property of the Berge monastery . The place name, originally Bardenthorp , is supposed to refer to a free man named Bardo , after the village was named. The St. Stephen's Church was built around 1300 .

During the Thirty Years War , Bahrendorf suffered severe damage. The village was uninhabited between 1636 and 1647. In the following period the population was also ravaged by epidemics, storms and large fires. In the 19th century the place experienced an economic boom with the settlement of a sugar factory , a chicory kiln and mills. The Catholic Sankt-Marien-Kirche was built in 1876 , as many workers had moved from Catholic Eichsfeld to Bahrendorf in the course of the industrial settlement . In 1896 it was connected to the railway network . The chicory and sugar factory were closed again in 1918. In 1999 the Schönebeck – Blumenberg railway , where Bahrendorf was located, was shut down again.

In the years from 1903 onwards, Bahrendorf Castle was built for the landowner HA Schaeper according to plans by the architect Paul Schultze-Naumburg , which from 1945 to 2002 housed the district hospital of the Wanzleben district and was then converted into a care center.

On July 1, 1950, the neighboring Stemmern was incorporated into Bahrendorf. Since 1994 Bahrendorf has been part of the Sülzetal administrative association . In 2001 it became part of the newly formed community of Sülzetal.

coat of arms

Unconfirmed coat of arms of Bahrendorf

Blazon : "In a red shield, a winged silver beard inclined to the right."

This image is derived from the seals and family crests of the Magdeburg bourgeois families Harkstroh and Griper . Both families had the same coat of arms in their seal, of which a first version from 1449 is known. The colors used in the historical family coats of arms are unknown. Now red and silver was chosen, the state colors of the former ore monastery of Magdeburg, in which Bahrendorf was located.

The families mentioned had been enfeoffed with archbishopric and monastery Bergeschen estates in Bahrendorf, Haldingsdorf (wüst near Bahrendorf), in Stemmern and other places at least since the first half of the 14th century and thus had relationships with the places mentioned for centuries.

According to Johann Heinrich Hävecker (1720), the community of Bahrendorf is said to have used the winged beard in its time as the "talking coat of arms" (Barte - Bahrendorf) in the community seal. Today's coat of arms is based on this information.

The community of Bahrendorf later had another community seal that shows a double church tower, in the foot of which the Brandenburg-Prussian eagle appeared in a round cartouche. This seal was used again in the first years after 1945.
