Location of Breitenfeld in Saxony-Anhalt |
Breitenfeld is a town and part of the Hanseatic town of Gardelegen in the Altmark district of Salzwedel in Saxony-Anhalt .
geography
Breitenfeld lies on the edge of the Hellberge . The Tarnefitzer Elbe rises north of the town, which was laid out as a street village . To the west of the village, on the way to Quarnebeck, is the Breitenfelder Brockenblick viewpoint . On a clear day, the Brocken, more than 90 km away, can be seen from here .
history
The first written mention of Breitenfeld took place on 28/29. February 1258 as villa Bredeult , in a settlement brokered by Margrave Johann I of Brandenburg between the dukes Albrecht of Saxony and Albrecht of Braunschweig . The settlement mainly concerned Hitzacker Castle and was signed in Breitenfeld. The reason why the comparison came about in Breitenfeld is unclear. There are suspicions that the warring parties previously had a military conflict near Breitenfeld and that Breitenfeld was the place for the negotiations.
The layout of Breitenfeld as a street village and the place and field names handed down to this day suggest that the place was founded in Germany, probably in the 12th century. South of the current location, between Breitenfeld and Jeggau , there were the two places Hohen-Heerde and Sieden-Heerde, which were probably deserted again in the 14th century . According to a document from 1394, at that time, Breitenfeld belonged to Klötze Castle, which was originally part of the Altmark but then belonged to Braunschweig-Lüneburg .
The divided village
At least since 1430, possibly even earlier, half of the village of Birdenfeld belonged to the fiefdom of the von Platen family, who at times also owned Klötze Castle and thus the other half of the village. When this division of the place between the lordship of the castle and the fief of a family came about is unknown. While Klötze Castle was already to be regarded as a Braunschweig-Lüneburg fiefdom at this point in time, half of the von Plates fiefdom was still a Brandenburg fiefdom. On June 15, 1434 Gebhardt and Hilmar von Plate sold their half of the village ( Breddenfelde ) to Bernd and Matthias von der Schulenburg . Since the von Plate family and later the von Schulenburgs were also enfeoffed with the castle, the resulting division of the place under the sovereignty of two different countries, Braunschweig-Lüneburg and Mark Brandenburg, could initially have had little impact on everyday life. It is not known whether there was any administrative separation between the property of the office of Klötze and the respective family property in the 15th and initially also in the 16th century. Later, however, there were sometimes considerable problems. There was a dispute in the village about who was allowed to use the logging on the Bußberg near the village . According to Brandenburg, this right was only available to the Brandenburg residents. Around 1580, the Brandenburg Broadfields beat up their neighbors in Lüneburg and drove them from the Bußberg. Negotiations between the sovereigns showed that the logging was not due to the Breitenfeldern, but to the office of Klötze. Difficulties also arose when it came to purchasing salt , which was used as a preservative in large quantities. While the Lüneburg subjects were obliged in 1585 to purchase the salt from the office of Klötze and thus Lüneburg salt, the Brandenburgers had their own salt shop in town. The dispute over the salt problem dragged on for centuries. In 1698 the sexton of the Breitenfeld school was obliged not to buy the salt he needed in the local Brandenburg salt shop, as the school building was not on the Brandenburg side. The dispute over the purchase of salt is still documented for 1751. However, there were also situations of joint action. In 1597, the municipality of Breitenfeld was able to prevail against the von der Schulenburg family in a dispute over wood usage rights on the Stakenberg . It is unclear whether Breitenfeld had one or two village mayors at the time of division. Since the lower jurisdiction was still exercised in Breitenfeld itself into the 17th century , a respective representation of the two manors would be obvious. The existence of two simultaneous Schulzen is not proven. Possibly the office was filled alternately, as was usual with the pastor's office. The taxes to be paid by the population to the respective rulers differed in the two halves of the village.
Although the division of the place was of practical importance for a long time, the course of the border is not known for sure today. It is likely that there was no clear border running through the village, but that the individual farms were subordinate to one or the other sovereign. In 1784, Prussia suggested that the unclear situation be resolved, but this apparently did not materialize. Despite this situation, there was at times a customs station in Breitenfeld where road tolls were also collected. There might even be a barrier at this station . A map from the year 1794 states as a note about Breitenfelde that there 13. Lünebl. 8. Altmark. Courtyards existed and represents the individual courtyards in color. On maps from the 18th century, Breitenfeld was also shown as belonging to the Braunschweig-Lüneburg office of Klötze, which seems logical, since Breitenfeld originally belonged to Klötze Castle and only had feudal rights to the von Plate family and ultimately to the Altmark and later Prussia. The end of the division of the place was then indicated from the end of the 18th century. Again and again there were disputes between Prussia and the Hanover side, to which the office of Klötze and with it half of Breitenfeld belonged as an exclave . In 1791 Prussia forbade the import of goods from the office of Klötze into Prussia, which caused great economic damage in Klötze. During the coalition wars in 1792 Prussian troops also passed through the office of Klötze. End of December 1792 there was a quartering of the Prussian regiment of Captain Kosel with 126 soldiers, 48 Train servants and 36 women in two parts width field. Troop movements and billeting also occurred in 1793. In 1796 Prussia closed its border and there was a lengthy dispute over customs issues that was only resolved in November 1796. In 1798 Prussia banned the import of white beans and grain from the Hanoverian areas. In 1800 the situation worsened after a few incidents. Residents of the office of Klötze were only allowed to cross the border to Prussia with a passport. In 1801 Prussia occupied the Electorate of Hanover . This brought the office of Klötze under Prussian control, so that both parts of the village were in fact controlled by Prussia.
In 1803 French troops marched into Hanover . After they left the region in September 1805, Prussian troops occupied the country from November 1805. On April 1, 1806, the entire area and with it the office of Klötze was declared Prussian territory. Both parts of Breitenfeld belonged to Prussia. However, this situation lasted only for a short time. France defeated Prussia in October 1806 at Jena and Auerstedt . The Hanoverian territories were declared a province of France on November 4, 1806. After the Peace of Tilsit , the territories were incorporated into the newly formed French-dominated Kingdom of Westphalia , which also included the western Elbe areas of Prussia. Breitenfeld was again united as part of the Elbe Department of the Kingdom of Westphalia. French money was introduced and, from 1808, the Code Napoléon was introduced. Old feudal service obligations were lifted, but the French foreign rule was rejected by the population and viewed as a burden.
After the French defeat in the Russian campaign of 1812 , the first Russian Cossacks were active in the region from mid-March 1813 . Retreating Napoleonic units crossed the area and were quartered briefly. In May 1813 the French troops withdrew. Joachim Nicolaus Schmidt from Breitenfeld took part in the fighting from 1812 to 1815. With the dissolution of the Kingdom of Westphalia, the old national borders were restored. From October 1813 the office of Klötze and thus half of Breitenfeld belonged to Hanover again. The old laws were reintroduced. Even the old customs disputes between Prussia and Hanover revived.
With the final act of the Congress of Vienna on June 9, 1815, the Kingdom of Hanover and Prussia agreed on an exchange of territory, after which the office of Klötze fell to Prussia on January 1, 1816 in exchange for Prussian possessions. From this point on, both halves of the town were reunited in one country. Against the move to Prussia, several citizens of the office of Klötze put on an ultimately unsuccessful petition , which was also signed by five Breitenfelders.
In the 19th century, the colony property on the road to Jeggau was temporarily run as belonging to Breitenfeld.
Disasters and epidemics
There were repeated outbreaks of the plague in the region , which may also have had an impact on Breitenfeld. The epidemic is for the surrounding area for the years 1428, 1438, 1463/64, 1483, 1566, 1598 and 1613. Neighboring cities like Klötze and Gardelegen partially lost a large part of their population. For July 1441, a hail storm with hailstones the size of a goose egg is reported for the office of Klötze . In 1460 there was a famine in the area due to a sharp rise in prices. Missing or severely reduced harvests as a result of unfavorable weather conditions repeatedly had serious consequences for the population. In 1468, even in summer, the weather was so cool and damp that the grain did not ripen. Fruit and hay could hardly be harvested either. Streams overflowed their banks. The winter brought so much snow that house roofs were dented. In 1473, however, the summer was so dry that forest fires broke out and the crops dried up. The same was true for 1480. For this year it is handed down that the mill of the office of Klötze could no longer work because the brook dried up. In 1560 and 1588 there was a flood in Breitenfeld. In the same year, hail destroyed the Breitenfeld rye harvest. There were also major crop failures in the area of the Klötze office in 1608 and 1609. In June 1610, the rye was destroyed again by hail. Another bad harvest followed as early as 1613, causing famine and the outbreak of the plague, which resulted in many deaths. In 1619, night frosts set in at the beginning of August, followed by a drought. Another famine was the result. In the following year, the office of Klötze felt compelled to freely distribute seeds obtained from the Magdeburg region to the farmers in order to enable agriculture to be resumed at all.
Thirty Years' War
The first effects of the Thirty Years' War began in 1620. In January of this year, troops were recruited in the area by the Bishop of Halberstadt. In June of the same year, the Dutch were the first foreign troops to cross the area. The situation of the population deteriorated dramatically in the following years. Although there was initially no actual fighting in the region until 1625, troops from various warlords, some of which were plundering, constantly moved through the area. Due to the lack of seeds, there were no orders from the fields, and from 1623 there was hunger . Nevertheless, the sovereigns tried to collect taxes. The plague also broke out in the region and is documented in 1626 for the neighboring Quarnebeck. In 1627 imperial forces drove Danish troops north. The permanent presence of imperial troops in the Altmark until 1629, who ultimately took care of themselves through the low income of the villages, led to a further decline in the economic basis. In 1629 Lüneburg troops moved in again. The sovereign tried to collect overdue taxes through the office of Klötze. The remaining horses, which were actually required for cultivating the fields, were drawn in. House searches were mostly unsuccessful in searching for remaining valuable items. The following famine led to the first starvation deaths in the area of the office of Klötze in 1630. In the following years the Lüneburg sovereign changed sides several times during the war. Further troop movements and constant attacks by marauders further burdened the villages. Several villages in the neighborhood, including Döllnitz, were completely destroyed in 1635, many partially destroyed. Swedish troops moved in in 1635 and Saxon troops in 1636 . The attacks by the latter are said to have been so bad that the remaining population left the villages and moved to the surrounding forests. After the extensive destruction of the office in 1636, the fields of the office lay fallow until August 1637. During this period, the residents of several villages in the region organized themselves militarily, especially in Drömling to the south , in order to achieve more security for the population. In 1638 the region was again occupied by imperial troops. In 1639 and 1640 there was some recovery. The farmers in the Magdeburg area were given the seeds they had purchased in order to enable the fields to be tilled in 1639.
However, as early as 1641, Swedish troops again moved through the area. Several places, including Breitenfeld, were sacked. In Breitenfeld, 16 houses are said to have been destroyed and 15 people murdered. An atrocity is reported for Breitenfeld, according to which a resident died in a kettle of boiling water. In 1642 the Klötzer bailiff Aschen von Mandelshohe reported that of the three farms that still existed in Breitenfeld, in addition to a few cottages, the two best were destroyed by the Swedes. In a register drawn up by the office of Klötze in 1642, all nine courtyards in Breitenfeld are described as devastated. After the occasional renewed presence of imperial troops, the Swedes stayed until after the peace treaty of 1648 to enforce agreements and payments regulated in the treaty. A wolf plague has been reported in the region around 1652 .
However, at the end of the 1640s, the region began to be rebuilt. In a register from the office of Klötze from 1665, however, four farms are still listed as unused. Later wars also affected the region through the passage of troops and billeting, although the dimensions of the Thirty Years' War remained unmatched.
Economic development in the 18th and 19th centuries
In the 18th century there were seven full farmers and one, at times two kossats on the Klötzer side of the village . There were also seven full farmers and one Kossaten on the schulenburg side. The family ownership of the large farms near the church had existed for a long time. The same family names as in the 18th century were also found in the 20th century. At the same time, there was the specialty in Breitenfeld that at least the seven Vollhöfner belonging to the office of Klötze had exactly the same property. A social differentiation among the full farmers was therefore initially not given in terms of property. The cultivation of the agricultural areas also took place jointly, as was customary elsewhere. Each farm had property in the various troughs , so that the lands of one farm were scattered over the entire Feldmark and were each in a dense conglomeration with the property of the other farms. Due to this fragmentation, a single cultivation was not practicable, since the access to each own small piece of land inevitably led over the fields of the other farmers. Laying out so many dirt roads would have significantly reduced the usable area for agriculture. Therefore, all farms worked on the same field at the same time. This joint activity was coordinated by the village mayor. This type of management was changed by the separation . The first separation took place in Breitenfeld in 1827/28. The plots of the farms were amalgamated in such a way that each farm could be run independently of the other farms. The farms were now open to the free movement of property and more modern production methods. Part of the farms became smaller through partial sales and inheritance divisions, others larger. The social differences between the owners of large farms and the increasingly numerous owners of small farms increased. The separation and the resulting changed working and ownership conditions marked a clear cut for community life.
There were also changes in the taxes to be paid. The various service obligations from feudal times, according to which the peasants had to do certain work, were gradually replaced. For example, there were obligations to provide spedition services, to carry out road construction work or to deliver eggs and Martini rye to the parish of Breitenfeld at Easter, although some of these could no longer actually be provided, but through cash payments. In order to redeem the obligation, the peasants had to undertake monetary compensation or a land assignment. The latter in particular led to a heavy economic burden for the farmers and reduced the size of the farms, while the property of the manorial families increased even further. This phase dragged on in Breitenfeld until the 1850s. The obligation to deliver eggs and rye partly continued until 1903.
While Breitenfeld is nowadays remote from a traffic point of view and the country road leading through the town has no major supra-regional function, it was originally different. The trade route leading from Magdeburg in the direction of Lüneburg led through the village . The trade route led from Magdeburg via Neuhaldensleben , Calvörde to Solpke . From there you could either travel via Quarnebeck and Jübar or via Breitenfeld and Klötze towards Lüneburg. Breitenfeld was an important point on the route due to its border location and customs post. Accordingly, the hospitality industry was of greater importance in the place. The innkeepers were among the wealthiest families, not only in Breitenfeld. For Breitenfeld, the innkeeper Johann Friedrich Hirsemann should be mentioned, who ran an inn in the village in the middle of the 18th century. Hiersemann was previously the manager of the Zichtau estate to the north . With the construction of chausseen as country roads from Magdeburg to Hamburg or from Gardelegen via Klötze to Oebisfelde, which began in 1840, the road leading through Breitenfeld lost its national importance.
By straightening the stream running east of the village, the swampy areas near the stream became the best fields in the district. However, until then other fields had dried up and had to be used as forest.
In 1828 a windmill was built on a hill by the village on the way to Schwiesau . In 1896 a permanent building was added. A lightning strike severely damaged the mill in 1897. A repair followed. In 1949 the mill, which had become unprofitable, was torn down.
World wars and death marches
In the world wars of the 20th century, many citizens of Breitenfeld who belonged to the German armed forces died. A war memorial in front of the village church commemorates the 17 dead and 4 missing from the First World War and the 22 dead from the Second World War .
On April 13, 1945, a death march passed through the town. The deported concentration camp prisoners came from the sub-camp Stöcken and several satellite camps of the concentration camp Mittelbau-Dora . On April 11, 1945, they were deported by train to Mieste in an evacuation transport . From there, the armed guards drove them further north and north-east in several groups. One group had passed over Solpke , the other over Sichau . Both columns of prisoners then arrived in the Breitenfeld area. The prisoners spent the night in the forest, some of them on a cattle paddock in Breitenfeld. Some prisoners were able to flee to the nearby Hellberge, whereupon some men of the village took part in the armed hunt for the escaped together with the guards. The prisoners in the paddock were transported away on April 12, 1945 and possibly shot. The first group then moved on Friday, April 13, 1945 through Breitenfeld towards Schwiesau . The second group moved towards Möncheberg through the Hellberge. Several memorial stones along the way commemorate the death march. Around 20 prisoners died in and around Breitenfeld. They were buried in the Breitenfeld cemetery , where a memorial stone commemorates their fate and that of three fallen soldiers. The march ended in Gardelegen at the Isenschnibber field barn . More than 1000 people were murdered there.
post war period
The changes made in the course of the land reform after the end of the Second World War were particularly drastic . In the Soviet occupation zone and thus also in Breitenfeld, all farms with an area of more than 100 hectares were considered large landowners and expropriated. In Breitenfeld, this affected the five courtyards: Friedrich Isensee, Friedrich Matthies, Friedrich Preetz, Otto Preetz, and Wilhelm Preetz. The expropriated land was distributed to farm workers, displaced persons and otherwise landless farmers. Later on, the management of the land was reorganized during the forced collectivization .
The population of Breitenfeld initially rose significantly due to the refugees housed in the village. There was a dispute over the care of the new residents. In 1946, 24 resettler families sought the allocation of garden land for self-sufficiency. They complained that the local families did not give them any land or sell any vegetables.
From 1947 there was a post office in Breitenfeld, which was not given up until 1994.
GDR
In 1960, Breitenfeld won one of the top places in the competition "The most beautiful village" and 7,000 DM. Unlike today, Breitenfeld also had a shop and a restaurant at that time. Even before 1945 there was a consumption in the place. In addition to food, there were also shoes and textiles. In May 1991 the shop was closed. At the entrance to the village from the direction of Schwiesau there was a restaurant for many decades, the building and hall of which have been preserved today. After the closure, the restaurant continued to operate as a drinks shop for some time.
Crib and school
In 1960 a day nursery for 14 children was founded in the village . After the crib was closed again in 1963, it was reopened in 1966. The crib was carried by the LPG and the community. However, in 1970 the crèche was finally closed due to a lack of sufficient children.
A similar fate met the traditional Breitenfeld school. A school house of its own was mentioned for Breitenfeld as early as 1751. However, the respective sexton is likely to have given lessons much earlier. At first, only, or at least predominantly, boys were taught. In the first half of the 19th century, however, the Prussian authorities urged girls to visit. While 56 pupils attended the Breitenfeld school in 1910 and 54 pupils in 1928, the number of pupils fell significantly during the GDR era. The students were taught together in one room from the first to the eighth grade. The last teacher was Wilhelm Reinhardt, who later became an honorary citizen from 1949 to around 1970. The Breitenfeld school was then closed around 1970.
Folk art ensemble
A folk art ensemble from Breitenfeld, active in the 1950s and 1960s, achieved national fame. Wilhelm Reinhardt, who came to Breitenfeld in 1951 and was later made an honorary citizen, founded a choir that same year, from which a folk art group developed. In 1951 it already had 72 members. In addition to singing, she also devoted herself to music, dance and the regional dialect . The historical costumes of the place were also maintained and renewed according to old models. In 1954 the group achieved second place in the folk art competition of the Magdeburg district with its own program . Various appearances followed, including 1955 in Leipzig and 1960 in Hamburg . In connection with these cultural activities, in 1955, Breitenfeld was the place where research into Altmark folk song was recorded. In 1956 the ensemble received the State Prize for National Artistic Creation .
After the political turning point in 1989
After 1990 extensive work took place, particularly on streets and sidewalks. The village pond and its surroundings were redesigned. The year 2008 was marked by the 750th anniversary of the first documentary mention. At a festival with fireworks on February 28, a new flag with the municipal coat of arms was inaugurated. In 2008, the community had the historian Corrie Leitz from Gladigau compiled an extensive chronicle for the first time . From June 20 to 22, 2008, the Breitenfelder celebrated its 750th anniversary.
Incorporation
On January 1, 2011, Breitenfeld was incorporated into the town of Gardelegen.
Population development
At the beginning of the 19th century, the population of Breitenfeld was well below 200. As a result of improvements in agriculture, that number rose by about 40% to 246 by 1854. The increase then continued at a slower pace through the early 20th century. The population rose by another 10% to 270. The maximum number came shortly after the Second World War with a jump to 433, which is due to refugees and the special circumstances of the post-war period. There were now significantly more women (56%) than men in the village. Some residents of the Catholic faith now also lived in the evangelical region of Breitenfeld . A short time later, the number of residents had fallen back to pre-war levels. The number of inhabitants is currently at an all-time low with a further significant downward trend.

politics
Bernd Wießel (CDU) was mayor of the municipality from 1990 until the forced incorporation in Gardelegen on January 1, 2011. The municipal council was last elected in 2009 and consisted of a further seven members.
Mayors of the municipality have been since 1939:

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved by the district on January 31, 2008.
Blazon : "Split of gold and red, between a sloping ear with a leaf in mistaken tinctures, a lowered sword with a silver blade and a golden hilt with pommel and crossguard."
In preparation for its 750th anniversary, the municipality commissioned the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch with the development of a legally valid coat of arms and the initiation of the approval process. The symbolism of the coat of arms depicted by the heraldist is based on the peculiarity that the community was divided for about 400 years. On the one hand it belonged to the Mark Brandenburg, on the other hand to Braunschweig-Lüneburg.
While Brandenburg (Altmark) wore the heraldic tinctures red-silver, the heraldic tinctures of Braunschweig-Lüneburg are blue-gold. For the Breitenfeld coat of arms, red was chosen as the color and gold as the metal, in accordance with the custom of tinging. The division of the place expresses the split shield.
The document of the first mention of Breitenfeld dates from February 1258 and contains a peace treaty. Based on this historical fact, a lowered sword was placed in the center of the coat of arms. With reference to the agriculture of the farming village, the coat of arms contains two inclined ears in mixed up tinctures.
On August 30, 2007, the local council decided in a discussion to use these elements in the newly designed coat of arms. The municipality decided on the coat of arms presented here from several stylistic variants that were proposed for decision.
Attractions
Mention should be made of the Breitenfeld village church and the nearby Breitenfeld war memorial . A memorial in the local cemetery commemorates twenty murdered concentration camp prisoners who were victims of the April 1945 death march , as well as three soldiers who died near Breitenfeld. In addition to small memorial stones along the path of the death march, another memorial commemorates the death march near the exit towards Jeggau.
economy
Breitenfeld is characterized by agriculture. There are manageable businesses in the tourism and accommodation sector. The place is interesting for tourists due to its quiet location between Altmark and Drömling and as a starting point for hikes in the nearby Hellberge.
Festivals
Several festivals are traditionally celebrated in the village. The Christmas trees are burned around January 6th of each year. The Fasslom Festival takes place every weekend in mid-February . The preparation is the responsibility of the festival committee , which includes a debt servant and a lay judge. The village is decorated with colorful ribbons. Signs at the entrances announce the time of the Faslom. The so-called Heischezug begins on Saturday morning . The Fasslomstüber move from house to house. They proclaim spring and fertility and solicit gifts. Alcohol plays a not insignificant role here. There is a regular exclamation from those present with Fasslom! is answered. In the evening there will be an evaluation followed by a cozy get-together in the community room. Lunch will follow on Sunday. A sausage crown is then handed over to the mayor, followed by a parade through the village with brass music. The celebrations then end with coffee and cake. An Easter fire is traditionally lit at Easter . The Children's Day is celebrated with a children's party. On October 3, there will be a barbecue on the occasion of the celebrations for the Day of German Unity .

The German theologian Eduard Schleiff (1837–1910) was a pastor in Breitenfeld from 1865 to 1874. Phöbus Moses Philippson (1807-1870), doctor and writer, died on April 1, 1870 in the village.
Honorary citizen
On September 7th, 1994 Wilhelm Reinhard and Dieter Wollner were appointed honorary citizens of Breitenfeld by the local council. Reinhard (1904–1999) was a teacher and, as the long-time director of the Breitenfeld folk art ensemble, had made a name for himself in the cultural life of the community and the region. Wollner (* 1927) was a committed pastor in Breitenfeld from 1958 to 1994.
