history
The place was founded by the Prussian minister Alexander Friedrich Georg Graf von der Schulenburg-Blumberg as a preliminary work of the Wanzleben domain by resolution of March 26, 1789. First the name Am Henneberg was used , later Blumberg and then Blumenberg. During the visit of the Minister Otto von Voss on July 22nd, 1791, the Vorwerk had meanwhile been completed, the Minister ordered the name of the founder Blumberg, who had since passed away. The establishment of the Vorwerk had become necessary because after many years of negotiations a guardianship and dislocation plan was finally created in 1789/1790 , which led to large contiguous areas for which Vorwerk was required. The Vorwerk covered about 250 hectares. The construction costs for the house, barns and stables amounted to 17,600 thalers.
In 1808 Blumenberg had 59 inhabitants in 14 households, in 1820 there were 64 inhabitants in seven houses. At the beginning of the 19th century a distillery was also built , in which alcohol was distilled from potatoes and barley. 10000 hectoliters of 96% alcohol could be distilled. A manager, twelve distillers and a distiller apprentice then worked in the distillery in 1852.
In 1843 the railway line was built, which divided Blumenberg into a northern and a southern half. In 1846, Oberamtmann Kühne applied for permission to build a steam mill in Blumenberg. In 1853 the population had risen to 93, but then fell again. In 1857 , a road was built from today's Bundesstraße 246 , east of Blumenberg, to the Blumenberg train station. Later the road was extended west to Bottmersdorf . A lifting point for the road money was created in Blumenberg . In 1861, in addition to the farm yard of the Vorwerk, the existence of five houses for twelve families is described and the number of inhabitants is named as 83 people.
Agricultural history was written in Blumenberg when, in September 1863, at the instigation of the Kühne District Council and the Schaeper Economic Council, a steam plow was first used in Prussia. A memorial stone on the square in front of the Blumenburger Krug reminds of this event . A plow conference with 174 plows took place on September 15 and 16, 1892.
In 1876 the Blumenberg station was run as part of the city of Wanzleben. Blumenberg was developed into an important hub for regional railway lines. In 1881 the line to Egeln and on to Staßfurt was rebuilt , in 1883 via Wanzleben to Eilsleben and in 1896 to Schönebeck (Elbe) . There was a crowd of several hundred people at the Blumenberg train station in October 1898 when it became known that the German imperial couple had passed through. The train did not stop, however, nor did the emperor appear at the window. Another such passage is recorded for December 1898.
A post office with three apartments was built in 1882. Bottmersdorf, Klein Germersleben and the city of Frankfurt were also supplied with mail from there. A railway post office was opened in 1895/1896. After a telegraph had existed since 1884 , it was connected to the telephone network in 1895. A public telephone was installed in 1899. The connection to the power supply took place with the electrification of the Blumenberg train station, whereby the negotiations on this had dragged on from 1912 to 1919. The total costs of 12,000 marks were shared between the railway, post office, city of Wanzleben and the Wanzleben domain. In addition to the train station, post office and Vorwerk, 27 households were connected.
After the station had been expanded in 1898, it was also given roofed platforms in 1906/1907.
In 1902 there was an accident at the existing level crossing within Blumenberg in which the leader of a team was killed. A Samaritan railway column was formed in Blumenberg . A major disaster exercise involving medical teams from Salbke and Wanzleben took place in August 1910.
In 1916, eight Russian-German families with 22 people were settled in Blumenberg. In 1923 and 1924 a total of three families from refugee camps were settled. The population is given in 1929 as 77 people from 16 families.
In 1928 a big festival with several thousand participants and guests took place on the Henneberg.
The children of Blumenberg attended the Protestant elementary school in Buch until 1929 and then a school in Wanzleben.
In 1929 the city of Wanzleben applied for the Blumenberg train station to be renamed Wanzleben , and the inner city train station was to be called Wanzleben-Stadt . However, due to the risk of confusion, especially with the Wansleben train station and from a cost perspective, this was rejected. On June 26, 1931, at about 7.52 a.m., another passage through the Blumenberg train station took place, which caused a large gathering of people. The so-called rail zeppelin passed the station.
The municipality assignment of Blumenberg proved to be problematic. While the settlement around the station and the fields north of it belonged to Wanzleben, the Vorwerk belonged to the Wanzleben domain. With the dissolution of the estate districts , the Vorwerk Blumenberg came to the municipality of Bottmersdorf with effect from January 1, 1929 . Bottmersdorf tried to ensure that the other areas of Blumenberg from Wanzleben to Bottmersdorf are also reunited. A corresponding application was made as early as 1928, but was rejected by Wanzleben with reference to the fact that the area had been part of the city for a very long time. For its part, Wanzleben tried to incorporate Blumenberg into Wanzleben. After these efforts were initially unsuccessful, the rest of the Blumenberg was actually incorporated into Wanzleben on April 1, 1935.
In 1935 the domain was prepared for new settlers on 400 hectares. The settlers now came from areas that had to be cleared for the expansion of military training areas. Ten families came from Salchau in the Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide , including a baker and a merchant. Another 19 families came from Baumholder in Rhineland-Palatinate and four from Haustenbeck in the Teutoburg Forest . During the settlement, care was taken to settle the settlers of different origins alternately, so that a mixed structure resulted. It emerged three side yards , but with a very small house. The houses were therefore expanded even before the first occupancy. The water supply in the southern area turned out to be problematic. Instead of a well, a water pipe had to be built here.
The settlements took place on Schulstrasse, which ran in a north-south direction . At its northern end the Hahneberger Weg branching off to the west was created , and at the southern end the Henneberger Weg leading eastwards . This strange arrangement, which arose during the time of National Socialism , gave rise to assumptions that the place had been planned in the form of a swastika . However, there is no evidence of this. The symbol is also ultimately not shown. Other details indicate simple considerations of expediency, since the fields belonging to the individual courtyards were located directly behind the house.
A settlement of three farms took place significantly further east of the location of Blumenberg on the country road from Wanzleben to Welsleben in the so-called Dreier-Siedlung .
The actual Vorwerk had become superfluous with the new housing developments. The old Schnitter barracks was converted into a community center with an event hall. Six apartments were also set up there. On December 7, 1935, the chimney of the old distillery was blown up by pioneers. In the period from 1929 to 1935, the Vorwerk still cultivated an area of 300.34 hectares.
In 1936 the volunteer fire brigade was founded in Blumenberg , which had twelve firefighters and in 1937 was equipped with a small motorized sprayer. The street lighting was also created that year. In order to ensure cattle breeding, a bull farming cooperative was founded on August 31, 1936 . A mountain gymnastics festival took place on the Henneberg in 1936 with 800 participants .
In 1937, Blumenberg got its own school, which was built near the Henneberg and completed on February 17th. She also had an apartment for the teacher, as well as a stable and laundry room. The furnished property was handed over in August 1937. However, due to a lack of teachers, the teaching position could not be filled, which the settlers protested. In 1938 the position was then filled with teacher Berner . Around 1940 the roof structure of the school was expanded.
There were rumors that the establishment of a municipality in Blumenberg that was independent of Wanzleben was intended, which was probably also in the interests of the people of Blumenberg. However, there was no such community formation.
During the National Socialist era, twelve of the farms became hereditary farms . These farms were between 7.6 and 14.3 hectares in size.
At the end of the Second World War , several freight trains with supplies for the Wehrmacht were parked at the Blumenberg station. The population used the trains for their own supplies. After the end of the war, eleven families of displaced persons from the former German eastern regions were resettled in Blumenberg. As part of the reparations payments to the Soviet Union , the second track of the railway line was removed and only restored after some time. The land reform had no consequences for Blumenberg, as all of the farms cultivated less than 100 hectares. On September 22, 1958, LPG Type I "Am Henneberg" was founded. It initially had seven members and marked the beginning of the collectivization of agriculture. In 1960 the LPG already had 130 members and cultivated 550 hectares.
The old community hall was converted into a cultural center in 1953/1954. In Blumenberg there was a local library that moved to the youth home "Am Henneberg" on September 21, 1955. The school building was used as a school until 1967. A sales point for consumer goods had been set up in an old barn in Blumenberg .
In the years 1971/1974 the LPG built the ZBE pig fattening with its own resources , in which 14 companies took part. The LPG then went into a cooperative plant production department with LPG III "Wohlstand" Bottmersdorf . In 1976 they merged to form LPG III "German-Soviet Friendship" which farmed 6,800 hectares. Pig fattening was later spun off from the cooperative.
traffic
Blumenberg is on the B 246a .
The Blumenberg station was put into operation in 1843 together with the Magdeburg - Halberstadt line. With the construction of the branch lines to Staßfurt , Eilsleben and Schönebeck (Elbe) , it developed into an important railway junction in the Magdeburg Börde from the 1880s . Since the closure of the connections to Schönebeck and Egeln (both in 1999) and the discontinuation of regional traffic to Eilsleben (2002; since then, the route to the sugar village of Klein Wanzleben has only been used for freight transport for the Nordzucker AG bioethanol plant), the station has only remained local Meaning. From December 2015 it was served by the regional transport line HEX 43 of the operator Transdev . Due to insufficient passenger numbers, the train station lost its function as a passenger stop with the timetable change on December 9, 2018.
Personalities
August Bratfisch , who later became known as a Bördem painter , was evacuated with his family from Magdeburg to Blumenberg in 1945 before the air raids. Pen-and- ink drawings of the Blumenberg area have been preserved by him from the 1950s .
