geography
Geographical location
Bernburg is located on the Saale south of Magdeburg and north of Halle. Its location south of the glacier advances of the last Ice Age (around 12,000 years ago) in the middle of the black earth area of the Magdeburg Börde offers good agricultural conditions. In the glacier garden on the outskirts there are still slabs of stone with ice age scratches.
City structure
The city of Bernburg is made up of the mountain and valley cities (the two cities merged on March 21, 1825). The valley town of Bernburg, in turn, is divided into the old and new towns of Bernburg. There are also other residential areas, such as B .:
- Anton Saefkow settlement . The garden city between John-Schehr- and Horst-Heilmann-Straße, planned by architect Leopold Fischer , was built at the end of the 1920s. It is popularly called "zigzag house" because the fronts of the individual row houses, rotated by 90 degrees, are offset.
- Friedenshall (formerly Solvayhall )
- Harnack settlement (previously cemetery settlement)
- Schulze-Boysen -Siedlung (formerly Junkers settlement; Kopernikus-, Galilei- Bunsen- and Nernststraße) Most of the apartment buildings from the 1930s were demolished from 2010 onwards. The remainder is being renovated and modernized.

climate
_(ST)-Deutschland.png)
Bernburg lies in the middle of the central German dry area in the rain shadow of the Harz Mountains and is assigned to the climatic area of the eastern Harz foreland, the driest area in Germany. Based on data from the German Meteorological Service, Bernburg is in last place in a ranking of 50 German cities examined with an average annual rainfall of just 469 millimeters (rain shadow of the Harz). The location in this climatic area also means higher summer temperatures; on July 31, 2018, the highest annual temperature in Germany was measured at 39.5 ° C. The average air temperature in Bernburg is 9.2 ° C.
history
From prehistory to 1600
Bernburg is the eponymous place of discovery for evidence of settlement of the Bernburg culture , a subgroup of the Neolithic beaker culture .
The area around Bernburg is characterized by fertile loess soils and was therefore one of the preferred settlement areas in earlier times. Research results from 2010 locate the settlement Luppia , which Ptolemy had recorded in his Atlas Geographia around 150 AD , in the Bernburg area. In the early Middle Ages, the Saale separated the residential areas of the Teutons from those of the Slavs. In the area of today's city of Bernburg there was once a convenient river crossing. At that time, however, the Saale made a curve and flowed a little further west, between today's Neustadt and the Waldau district . The current district of Waldau was first mentioned in 782 and 806 as "Waladala" in the chronicle of the Moissac monastery (today in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris ). On July 29, 961, a “ civitas Brandanburg” appears in a deed of gift from the later Emperor Otto I. For a long time it was questionable whether this was Bernburg. It was not until 1960 that local researcher Franz Stieler found a copy of the document from 961 in a 15th century copy, which contains the explanatory glossary "Berneburg" for "Brandanburg". The next reliable mention of a Bernburg castle took place in 1138: two chronicles - those of the Annalista Saxo and the Magdeburg Annals - reported that the enemies of Albert the Bear infected the "Berneburch" where his mother resided.
In addition to this castle, there was probably another early medieval fortification on the west bank of the Saale, which could have emerged from the former Franconian royal court "Waladala", which became the Gernroder monastery courtyard in the second half of the 10th century . In the area of the valley town, in the area of the Neustädter parish church St. Nikolai, an early urban long-distance merchant settlement can be assumed. After the influence of the Askanians on the Nienburg monastery and the important Saale crossing located there in 1166, the construction of a safe river crossing in Bernburg became more important.
Together with the reconstruction of the castle from the second half of the 12th century, the Bergstadt parish church of St. Aegidien was also rebuilt. The Aegidien patronage and the elaborate building type of this church as a Romanesque basilica with a crossing tower indicate that the construction of the Bergstädter parish church was part of a settlement project for new settlers from the western parts of the empire, who are now to intensify the Ascanian land development in the Bernburg area Castle should settle. At the same time, a Slavic Kietz settlement was built in front of the castle in the area of today's Fischergasse . The sale of agricultural products to long-distance merchants created the basis for the creation of a local market and service settlement in the area of Bernburg's old town in the Saale valley. This then developed into a Gothic market town in the first half of the 13th century through the targeted settlement of craftsmen and merchants and the involvement of merchants from the Nikolaisiedlung, which had now become a subordinate, but independent new town.
The first evidence of a mill on the Saale comes from the year 1219. The slope of the Bernburg Saale was well suited for the mill. The first Saale bridge was mentioned in 1239. It was repeatedly destroyed and renewed until the 20th century. 1278 received Old and New Town by Bernhard I of Anhalt-Bernburg the city charter . In 1293, at the instigation of the abbot of the Nienburg monastery, Slavic was banned as the court language in Anhalt-Bernburg. The Bernburg monastery (today St. Johannes-Hospital) was mentioned for the first time in 1308, the mountain town in 1326. The regional legend connects the place of the story in which Till Eulenspiegel hired himself out as a tower blower for the Count of Anhalt with the keep of Bernburg Castle . However, since there were two bergfrieds at Bernburg Castle in the 15th century and the Eulenspiegel Tower was still referred to as the “club-light thorm” in 1497, it can be assumed that this transfer only took place as a reaction to the reception of Eulenspiegelstoff at the Bernburger Fürstenhof. In 1640, the name "Eulenspiegel" for the round keep of the core castle that is preserved today is first recorded in the Bernburger Salbuch. Because of the importation of duty unpaid goods by water, the Herring War broke out in 1426 , an armed customs dispute with the Hanseatic city of Magdeburg . In 1526, the Reformation was introduced in Anhalt-Bernburg as the third state in the world, after Saxony and Anhalt-Köthen . On October 21, 1530, the Archbishopric of Magdeburg received a privilege from the Catholic Emperor Charles V for free navigation on the Saale with simultaneous permission to expand the river bed. As a first measure for this, the construction of the weir in Bernburg was started in the same year. In 1559, at the initiative of the beneficiary archbishopric, a contract was signed between Archbishop Sigismund and Prince Wolfgang von Anhalt for the purpose of expanding and securing shipping on the Saale. On this basis, the construction of the first wooden lock in Bernburg began in 1560. The area downriver from the lock to the Saale bridge has since been called Little Venice, the slope above this harbor as a beautiful angle. As early as 1605, due to the decline of shipping on the Saale at that time, taxes had to be levied for the maintenance of the locks.
In the witch hunts from 1555 to 1664 at least 46 people were accused in the city and office of Bernburg. The witch trial 1617–1619 against the wife of the mayor Meyhen, Barbara Meyhe, became known . On December 9, 2015, the unveiling of a memorial plaque for the victims of the witch hunt took place in Bernburg (Saale) at the former rectory of the St. Marien church, Altstädter Kirchhof 10.
1600 to 1900
In 1595, a flood destroyed 160 houses in the valley town. In 1603 Bernburg became the residence and garrison town of the principality (from 1807 duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg) . In the Thirty Years War Heinrich von Holk conquered and plundered the city with his "Holk'schen Reiter" in 1630 , a plague epidemic claimed 1700 victims during this time. In 1666 a fire raged in the old town. The last plague epidemic struck Bernburg in 1682. In 1697 the first stone lock on the Saale was inaugurated.
In 1745 the first steam engine for mining was constructed in Bernburg . In 1757 and again from 1807 to 1813 Bernburg was under French occupation. Valley and mountain towns were combined to form the town of Bernburg in 1825. The Anhalt-Cöthen-Bernburger Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft opened Köthen's third station in 1846 and thus Bernburg's first rail connection to the stations of the Magdeburg-Köthen-Halle-Leipzig Railway Company (1840) and the Berlin-Anhalt Railway (1841).
A bear pen was built in the castle in 1860 to hold the first brown bear arriving from Russia in 1858 . The kennel was renewed in 1996 according to animal welfare principles.
In 1863 the Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg ended with the death of the last Duke Alexander Carl . The Solvay works were opened in 1883, and salt mining began in 1884, making Bernburg the largest town in Anhalt for a short time. In 1891 the first steel bridge was built over the Saale. In 1895 the district of Bernburg had a new hospital built in the style of a pavilion through the company Gropius & Schmieden .
1900 to the present
In 1902 the city became Solbad and got a spa house. The Kessler Tower was inaugurated in 1913 , named after its founder, Kommerzienrat Theodor Kessler (1839–1917), partner in the Bernburg pewter foundry L. Kessler & Sohn. In 1913, the Bernburger Kaliwerke (Wintershall AG) started mining. After the end of the First World War , Bernburg lost his garrison as a result of Part V of the Versailles Peace Treaty . The city of Bernburg acquired the Karlskaserne in 1919 and converted it into the town hall. From January 1, 1924, no military was stationed in Bernburg. The state police then moved into the Franz barracks .
In 1933 the city of Bernburg became a district .
In 1935 the new market bridge was inaugurated. As part of the armament of the Wehrmacht during the Nazi era , Bernburg was again a garrison town from 1935. New infantry barracks were built on Ilberstedter Strasse and an air base northwest of the city. Parts of an infantry regiment as well as several replacement and air force units were in Bernburg .
During this time, the Bernburg plant of the Dessau Junkers aircraft works was built north of Strenzfeld , where Ju 88s were assembled and taken over by the Air Force at the adjacent airfield. The Junkers settlement was built from 1939 to 1940.
During the Second World War , the Junkers factory in particular, but also the city of Bernburg itself, was bombed several times from 1940 onwards (→ Big Week ). The heaviest attack on Bernburg took place on April 11, 1945 by 85 bombers of the 9th US Air Force . 49 houses were destroyed or badly damaged, 456 slightly damaged. 84 residents were killed that day, a total of 112 people in the bombing raids on Bernburg. On April 12th and 13th 1945 the Saale bridges were blown up.
On April 16 and 17, 1945, Bernburg was occupied by US troops .
In November 1940, the Bernburg Nazi Killing Facility was set up and operated in what was then the Bernburg State Sanatorium and Nursing Home (now the State Hospital for Psychiatry and Neurology) . Between 1940 and 1943 over 14,000 people were gassed there as part of the euthanasia programs Aktion T4 and Aktion 14f13 . The Bernburg memorial for the victims of Nazi euthanasia, reopened in 1989, is located in the authentic location of the former sanatorium and nursing home or what is now the state hospital.
The memorial book of the Federal Archives for the Victims of the National Socialist Persecution of the Jews in Germany (1933–1945) lists 70 Jewish residents of Bernburg, who were deported and mostly murdered .
From July 1st to 5th, 1945, the Red Army replaced the US Army. Bernburg became a garrison town of the Soviet Armed Forces group in Germany and remained so until the troops withdrew on November 22, 1990. Solvay GmbH ( soda , caustic soda and cement production ) fell into dismantling and was transported to the Soviet Union . In 1950, Hilde Benjamin, who was born in Bernburg, chaired the process against the Solvay plant management. In 1952, a newly established company could start producing soda again. On June 17, 1953, strikes broke out in the soda plant demanding that the SED be dissolved. In 1962 a new cement plant started production.
In 1961, the Bernburg University of Applied Sciences was founded in the Strenzfeld district and has been part of the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences since 1991 . The State Institute for Agriculture, Forestry and Horticulture Saxony-Anhalt is also based there.
On October 30, 1989, the first Monday demonstration with 3000 participants took place as part of the Peaceful Revolution in the GDR.
