history

Agriculture

In 1840, the farmer Borchardt in Groß Ballerstedt began growing yellow lupins for green manuring ( increasing the fertility of the soil). The good test results then prevailed nationwide.

In the first half of the 20th century, the community had a small railway connection ( Altmärkische Kleinbahn , Stendal - Arendsee line ), which was mainly used to transport sugar beet to Goldbeck .

During the land reform in 1945, the following were determined: a property over 100 hectares had 110 hectares, 38 properties under 100 hectares had a total of 728 hectares and other properties. Two farms (farms) with 237.2 hectares were expropriated and divided. In 1948, 34 full settlers each acquired more than 5 hectares and 26 small settlers each less than 5 hectares from the land reform. In 1953 the first agricultural production cooperative of type III, the LPG “New Life”, was established. Further foundings and associations followed. In 1974 the inter-cooperative facility "ZGE pig husbandry" was established, which in 1978 was connected to LPG pig production and in 1992 was converted into the "Agrargenossenschaft eG Ballerstedt".

In 1953 the breeding of precious pigs began in Ballerstedt. The pig breeders formed the “ Ballerstedt Herdbook Breeding”. When the breeders joined the LPG Type III "Einigkeit" Ballerstedt on April 1, 1960, the breeding activities were reorganized. From 1976 the breed was assigned to the breed "Edelschwein der DDR". The Ballerstedt agricultural cooperative still operates pig breeding today.

The big stones near Ballerstedt

In 1839, Jodocus Temme reported in the saga The big stones near Ballerstedt about a battle that two margraves fought near Groß and Klein Ballerstedt. At the point you can see "you can still see cruelly large stones, underneath the slain Wends are buried". “One of the heaps is not far away on the so-called Hasenackern.” Today the Hasenacker is a piece of land west of Ballerstedt. Beckman also reported about the stones in 1751, but was of the opinion that they were "hero beds", and he also described these large stone graves near Ballerstedt . In 1994 Hanns HF Schmidt told two legends under the title "Graves under the stones" and "The big stones".

A forgotten city

Hanns HF Schmidt also said in 1994: “Ballenstedt is said to have once been an important town.”… “There would have been a Roland there,… who later had to be given over to the patches of Buch on the Elbe. Ballerstedt was completely devastated by military campaigns and thereby completely lost its importance. "
