Borstel is a district and a town in the Hanseatic city of Stendal in the Stendal district in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

Borstel, a round village with a church, is located around two kilometers north of Stendal in the Altmark . The Stendal-Borstel airfield is in the immediate vicinity .

history

The place, laid out as a ring village below the church, was first mentioned in a document in 1140 (according to the literature of the Altmark Museum in Stendal). Count Otto von Hillersleben made the Borstel district a gift to the diocese of Havelberg. In 1170, Margrave Otto I (von Tangermünde) administered the area and ensured that numerous new subjects settled there.

In 1209 the place is mentioned as the headquarters of the von Borstell family, who were the brothers Otto and Bernwart von Borstell. The coat of arms of this family and thus also of the town is a green clover leaf on a silver field, decorated with three eagle wings. A village church, a fortified church made of field stone, was built in 1249.

Little is known about precise events from the Middle Ages. In the literature, an alleged castle between Borstel and Eichstedt is repeatedly mentioned, which presumably stood on the site of a court building built by the Slavs at the time of the Great Migration (around 500). It was not until 1541 that the residents of Borstel reported cattle breeding, agriculture and beekeeping as a type of employment. During the Thirty Years' War Borstel was temporarily the headquarters of the imperial general Gallas. Around 1800 a descendant of those von Borstell, Hans Friedrich Heinrich von Borstel (1728–1804), earned services as a Prussian lieutenant general. During the Napoleonic period there was fighting between Prussian and French troops in the immediate vicinity of the village. In the middle of the 19th century, the area south of the village (towards Stendal) was used for the further expansion of the Prussian garrison.

In 1907/1908 a railway line between Stendal and Arendsee was built past Borstel and the place received its own train station. The construction of a hard stone works, according to plans by the engineer Thießen from Neumünster, took place in 1908. This way, bricks could be made from locally occurring sand-lime stone. Initially 14 workers were employed there who worked ten hours a day. Around 130,000 stones were produced every week. In 1930 the workforce consisted of 17 workers. The hard stone plant was dismantled by Russia as a reparation payment after the Second World War.

After the first airplane that the Stendalers saw in their lives landed on the parade ground on the right of the road from Stendal to Borstel in 1910, construction of the Borstel airfield began in 1934. 6,000 workers build barracks for a paratrooper school, roads, a siding and twelve hangars. After the Second World War, this airfield became a base for Soviet troops.

Around 1920 more and more farmers began growing asparagus, which was soon typical for the entire Altmark. In 1953 the Agricultural Production Cooperative (LPG) Borstel was founded and until 1960 the local farmers were fully affiliated to the cooperative.

After the turbulent political events of 1989, which also left a trace on Borstel, partnerships began with residents of “Borstels” - a district of Neustadt am Rübenberge in Lower Saxony .

In 1990 Borstel was 850 years old. The residents and numerous guests celebrated this anniversary from July 5th to 7th. Seven years later, the long overdue sewage side development of Borstel took place. In 1997, the expansion of Osterburger Strasse began. In 2000, the children's playground on the festival meadow was inaugurated on June 1st. After 2002 the former Borsteler train station could be used as a village community center. Furthermore, the construction of the Hartsteinweg and the Eichstedter Bridge (inauguration 2003), the expansion of the Dorfstrasse (released in 2003) and the Borsteler Strasse (inauguration in 2004), and in 2006 the expansion of the Kurzen Strasse began.

In 2005 the memorial stone was ceremoniously unveiled on Lindenplatz and the village renewal program ended in 2007 . DSL has also been available in Borstel since 2011 !
