Place name
The origin of the name Burg is unclear. The older spelling is Borg and also the current dialectal pronunciation is more of an O as a U . The triangular market square (today Am Markt ) is interpreted as evidence of Slavic founding. Thus, Bor (Slavic pine forest ) offers itself as a place name, similar to Kleinburg near Breslau, here too there was Borck with O as a transitional form. However, the nearby Gardelegen also has a triangular market, but is considered a Germanic foundation. The triangular market could also be due to the fact that the current dike road leads into a swampy area. Deich-… means unanimous pond and even today the patchwork park following Deichstraße is full of ponds and regularly flooded by the Ihle . A traveler from Berlin to Magdeburg or Zerbst would have taken a route on the terminal moraine of Berliner Straße that differs significantly from the straight line, but is dry. However, an actual castle was not found.
history
The town of Burg was first mentioned in a document on October 1, 948. The settlement was favored because the heights of the northwestern Fläming above the water-bearing Ihle and Elbe lowlands with its partially fertile and wild terrain offered favorable conditions for existence. The prehistory of Burg began palpably with the Neolithic (Younger Stone Age), around the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. Archaeological finds from the Bronze Age and then the Iron Age document the further early history of Burg. Research results from 2010 locate the settlement Mersovium , which Ptolemy had listed in his Atlas Geographia around the year 150 AD , in the Burg area.
After the Germanic population emigrated during the migration period, Slavs settled near the Ihle crossing. The Ottonian kings began their policy of conquest in the 10th century. In 928, Heinrich I conquered Brandenburg . His son Otto founded the Diocese of Brandenburg in 948 . The town of Burg is mentioned for the first time in the deed of foundation. In order to secure their influence, Albrecht the Bear and Archbishop Wichmann in particular moved Flemish settlers to the Burger Land. They founded the lower town in Burg, built the Nicolaikirche and introduced cloth-making. The Flemish immigrants brought advanced forms of economy and important trade relations with them from their homeland. By building dykes on the Elbe and draining the extensive lowlands, they increased the amount of agricultural land around the city. Their cattle breeding, beer brewing and the production of woolen cloth became a basis for the flourishing development of the town of Burg. This is shown by the fact that there was already a cloth defeat in Magdeburg in 1224 and this was solemnly confirmed by the then Archbishop Albert.
On both sides of the banks of the Ihle, an upper and lower town developed under separate administration. In the early 13th century, both settlements were fortified together (new defensive walls with towers). At that time, Burg was already one of the economically most important and most defensive cities in the region and in the 15th century it was the third largest city in the ore monastery of Magdeburg after Magdeburg and Halle .
The Thirty Years War brought much suffering to the people living in Burg. Numerous billets and passages, which repeatedly led to fires, an artillery bombardment and a general pillage in 1644 brought the city to the brink of doom, from which it was not protected by the letter of protection from General Pappenheim. The general marched through Burg at the end of January 1631 to help conquer Magdeburg. In the Peace of Prague in 1635, Kursachsen Castle was awarded, but in 1687 it was sold to Brandenburg-Prussia by Duke Johann Adolf I of Saxony-Weißenfels . The city and the Burg office went to the surrounding Duchy of Magdeburg . Burg was located in the Jerichower district and was henceforth directly subordinate to the government of the duchy as a so-called immediate city . The immigration of Palatine, Walloons and Huguenots , that is, of Reformed religious refugees who found refuge here, supported this upward development, which was promoted by Brandenburg-Prussia . The Huguenots, for example, brought new, innovative forms of handicraft to this region.
In 1817 the district of Jerichow I was formed, whose seat became the castle. In 1924, Burg formed an urban district, but retained the administrative seat for the district, which was renamed District Burg after the Second World War and reintegrated into the castle in 1950. In 1994 the city came to the district of Jerichower Land.
With the expansion of the transport system - in 1820 a country road was built from Burg to Magdeburg - and the beginning of industrialization , the city continued to advance economically. The first steam engines were in operation in Burg in 1836. On August 7, 1846, the inauguration of the Burger Bahnhof on the new Berlin – Magdeburg railway line was celebrated. Finally, the construction of the Ihle Canal in 1871 created further conditions for extensive industrial development. In 1883 the shoe factory “Tack u. Cie ". The company Conrad Tack u. Until the end of the Second World War, Cie was the largest shoe manufacturer in Europe with up to 4,000 pairs of shoes produced every day. The Burger Schlachthof was built from 1898 to 1899. In 1917, for example, 1,500 cattle, 1,200 calves, 10,000 pigs, 700 sheep and 150 horses were slaughtered there.
During the Second World War, the castle was relatively little destroyed. A group of communists, social democrats and bourgeois democrats also managed to surrender the city to the Soviet army without a fight and thus prevented the city's destruction in the last days of the war. This group included the communists and former members of the city parliament for the KPD August Heisinger, a lathe operator and Willi Steiger, a cutter by trade. In addition to master gardener Georg Schindler, also a member of the KPD, the group also included the social democrat and master carpenter Willi Stollberg, who was also a member of the city parliament for his party before the Nazi era, and the social democrat and high school councilor Dr. Hubert Tschersig. In addition, the well-known gold molding manufacturer Georg Lorenz, W. Kunze, the burger publisher Theodor Hopfer, the lubricating grease manufacturer Siegfried Stöckel, who had also previously been a member of the city parliament for a bourgeois list, and the cloth merchant Ullrich Deutsch, in whose rooms the decisive meeting on May 2, 1945, three days before the handover, took place.
In 1953, a radio transmission system was built east of Burg bei Brehm , which was subsequently expanded to become one of the largest in Germany.
A Stalin monument was ceremoniously unveiled in 1954 on today's Rolandplatz . It was one of the last monuments erected in the GDR after Stalin's death and was removed after just a few years.
From 1949 to 1990, the largest youth workshop in the GDR was located in Burg .
In 1991 the largest industrial park in the district was opened. From September 17th to 19th, 1999 the first Burger Rolandfest took place with the unveiling of the new Roland figure . From June 27 to 29, 2003, Burg hosted the 7th Saxony-Anhalt Day .
On May 25, 2009, the city received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government .
Some important people stayed in the town of Burg. Theodor Fontane worked as a pharmacy assistant in Burg and the military theorist Carl von Clausewitz , whose teachings on war are taught in almost all military universities worldwide, was born here. The internationally renowned grave of Carl von Clausewitz can be found in the Burger Ostfriedhof. A memorial is located in his parents' house at Schulstrasse 12. The city library at Berliner Strasse 38 and a primary school in the Burg-Süd district bear the name of the writer Brigitte Reimann , who was born in Burg in 1933 . The well-known organist and composer Joachim a Burck was born in Burg in 1546. The district music school and a street bear his name. Numerous churches, remains of walls and gate towers bear witness to the great past of this city.

“In the autumn of 1840 I left Berlin and first went to Burg, a handsome city that still“ nobody knows anything ”about. Or not much. The proximity of Magdeburg put it in the shade right from the start. "
