history

Barneberg is mentioned for the first time in a document in 1170. The Werden - St. Ludgeri Helmstedt monastery owned a Hufe of the local mark in 1170, which was owned by a Ministerial Gerhardus. Several owners changed in the 12th century, u. a. owned the place in 1199 Oldhild von Hagen. In 1291 a ministerial Otto von Barneberg, Canon of Walbeck, is named. The dukes of Braunschweig also owned individual small fiefs in the 14th century.

Hötensleben Castle seems to have been granted sovereignty over Barneberg as early as the Middle Ages . So the place later remained with the Hessen-Homburg office of Hötensleben. At the time of the Kingdom of Westphalia, at the beginning of the 19th century, the place belonged to the canton Warsleben, Helmstedt district, Okerdepartement .

At Barneberg there were once several settlements or smaller places that can be traced as desertification: Volkersdorf, Karlsdorf, Kerlingen and Krenitz.

In the High Middle Ages , the Counts of Hallermund initially held the patronage of the Barneberg Church. The patronage was passed on to the Counts of Dassel via Adelheid von Loccum-Hallermund . In Barneberg and other places in this area they also owned hooves in the 13th century , which Count Adolf I von Dassel received through his marriage to Adelheid von Wassel . Related to Adelheid were the Archbishops, who were also responsible for Barneberg, Albrecht I and his half-brother Wilbrand von Käfernburg .

Count Simon von Dassel renounced the patronage of the Romanesque church, whose tower was renovated in 1618 and still stands today. The nave was demolished in 1884. The successor building in neo-Gothic style was completed the following year. In the old church there was an organ that organ builder Christoph Trautmann from Magdeburg had built in 1766 and which was renovated after almost 100 years by organ builder August Troch (1817–1890) from Neuhaldensleben . Since it was not possible to re-erect the old organ in the new building of the nave of today's Church of Peace , it was decided to procure a new organ, which was built in 1891 by master organ builder Wilhelm Sauer from Frankfurt (Oder) . Today the church is in dire need of renovation, the medieval church tower is provided with a temporary reinforcement . In 2014, the renovation of the facade began. The renovation of the church tower was completed in 2012. Today the church belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Hötensleben in the parish of Egeln .

From 1952 to 2010 there was the Catholic Church of St. Josef in Barneberg (Rudolf-Breitscheid-Str. 24). It was built because the Catholics of Barneberg were prevented by the GDR authorities from visiting the church in Hötensleben near the border. The last Holy Mass was celebrated in 2007. The church was sold in December 2010 and is now used by a craft business. The small bell of the church was a gift from the parish in Offleben in 1953 and was given to a monastery in Vienna (Dammstraße 20) after the church closed . Today the nearest Catholic churches are in the neighboring villages of Hötensleben and Völpke, each 3 km away .

On January 1, 2010, the previously independent community of Barneberg was incorporated into Hötensleben.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on November 7, 1996 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.

Blazon : "In green a tinned, black-grooved silver watchtower with a black gate opening and three black window openings on a silver arched shield base."

The design of a coat of arms for the municipality of Barneberg was commissioned by the municipality in October 1994 to the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch , because up to z. Currently there is no officially approved coat of arms that conforms to the rules of heraldry.

Earlier coats of arms of the place cannot be proven histographically. There is only one indication that a seal depicting a church was used in the past century. There is no evidence to legitimize this seal. So it can be assumed that the place “awarded” this seal image itself, i. H. put into use without government approval. It has not been established whether the church depicted in the seal was the image of the village church. From the history of Barneberg there is hardly any essential information that can be used as a basis for the formation of the coat of arms.

In developing the emblem of the desire of the community was considered that a mountain with befindlicher to wait wanted to record the Wappenbild. Both symbols are actually present and identify the place. In connection with the silver mountain and the silver watchtower, the shield color green was chosen, which refers to the natural surroundings of the region around Barneberg.
