history
Development up to the 18th century
The surrounding area of Bier is proven by grave finds as a prehistoric and early historical settlement area. The beginning of the modern settlement of the Bier district goes back to the fourth century and took place in the area of the today's town center (Große Straße). The first settlers were probably the West Germanic Thuringians , who founded the North Thuringia . This came under the influence of the Halberstadt diocese in the 9th century . During the Slavic settlement of the Gaus, a Slavic village emerged next to the Germanic settlement , which, as small beers, became deserted by the 15th century at the latest . From 803 on, beers belonged to the County of Mühlingen, which was founded by Charlemagne . Beer was first mentioned in a deed of donation from King Otto I to the Moritz monastery in Magdeburg from September 21, 937, there referred to as bigera (place on flowing water).

The Reformation was introduced in Biere around 1540 . The village was badly damaged during the Thirty Years War . After the Peace of Westphalia was concluded, Biere came under the rule of the Duchy of Magdeburg in 1680 .

During the Napoleonic Wars at the beginning of the 19th century, Biere suffered from the passage of French troops. After the defeat of Prussia , the place was between 1806 and 1813 in the French-ruled Kingdom of Westphalia and was administered by the Canton Salze. After Napoleon's defeat, Biere was assigned to the Prussian district of Calbe . A major fire caused severe damage to the village in 1835. The industrial revolution in Germany initially had an impact on beers due to the lignite mining in the neighboring Eggersdorf-Mühlinger Mulde, which created additional jobs. However, the village essentially retained its agricultural character. There was also no direct rail connection, the next train stations opened in 1840 in Schönebeck and 1857 in Eggersdorf . After the fire disaster of 1835, the town recovered quickly thanks to its prosperous agriculture, which was expressed in 1850 by the new construction of the St. Andrew's Church.

In 1950, as part of a district reform, Biere was assigned to the newly formed district of Schönebeck . From 1952 on, private agriculture was broken up in the entire GDR in favor of agricultural cooperatives (LPG) . The LPG Bördeland and Bundschuh were founded in Biere and merged with other neighboring LPGs to form the Cooperative Plant Production Department (KAP) in the 1970s.
