history

Former barracks of the GDR border troops

Buchhorst was first mentioned in 1770 as an elevated point ( Horst ) in the Drömling. Settlement began after the renovation work was completed around 1801. The place shares the name -horst with 23 other by name known eyries within the Drömling.

At the end of the war, at least 53 prisoners from Neuengamme concentration camp died when their train stood on the Buchhorster siding for three days and they were not allowed to leave the train. From 1952 to 1990 Buchhorst was a GDR border crossing point (GÜSt) in shipping traffic on the Mittelland Canal with the Federal Republic of Germany . The clearance took place south of the town at the crossing with the state road, about five kilometers from the inner-German border . Among other things for the GÜSt staff there was a barracks of the GDR border troops near the train station . From 1952 until the fall of the Berlin Wall , Buchhorst was in the 5 km exclusion zone , which could only be entered by authorized GDR citizens.

The municipality of Buchhorst was created on January 1, 1957 through the spin-off from Wassensdorf in the Klötze district . Buchhorst became a district of the city of Oebisfelde on April 14, 1994.

From 1994 to January 1, 2005 the district belonged to the Oebisfelde administrative community, then from 2005 to December 31, 2009 to the Oebisfelde-Calvörde administrative community in the Ohrekreis and from 2007 to the Börde district . On January 1, 2010, the city of Oebisfelde-Weferlingen was founded due to a municipal reform in Saxony-Anhalt. Buchhorst, as a district of the former city of Oebisfelde, became a district of the new city of Oebisfelde-Weferlingen.

Infrastructure

There was a discotheque in Buchhorst. At Steimker Graben there is a former pumping station built in 1970 with information boards for the administration of the Drömling Nature Park , which was used at times as an information center.

Buchhorst is on the Oebisfelde– Klötze state road . A district road leads from Buchhorst via the Bleuenhorst residential area to Dannefeld. Buchhorst is served by buses from the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel passenger transport company (PVGS, in the direction of Oebisfelde and Salzwedel ) and the OhreBus Verkehrsgesellschaft (in the direction of Weferlingen ). Buchhorst owned a train station - later a stop - on the Salzwedel – Oebisfelde railway line ; the line was closed in 2002 and the bridge over the Mittelland Canal south of Buchhorst was dismantled a few years later.
