history
Early historical finds
In early history, the space between the Elbe and the Ohre was sparsely populated or not at all. The first traces of permanent settlement sites for Calvörde and the surrounding area can be found in the period from 600 to 300 BC. A cemetery with 75 graves was discovered in the Calvör district of Wegenstedt. It is attributed to the early Germanic Jastorf culture. An urn cemetery was found in the Mörderberg forest near Calvörde . The urn group was surrounded by a stone circle (steles). The grave fields were on a hill. The circle of steles and the location on a hill are typical signs of the Jastorf culture. Such graves were always created outside the settlement areas. From this it can be concluded that it was already 300 years BC. There was a permanent settlement in Calvörde without knowing where it was and how long it lasted.
middle Ages
Calvörde was first mentioned in a document in 1196. Where there is a bridge over the Ohre today, there was a ford through the river. There, the Lüneburg Heerstraße, coming from the southeast and leading from Leipzig via Magdeburg to Lüneburg and Hamburg, crossed the river. A second trade route , coming from Braunschweig , was added.
The Leipzig linguist Jürgen Udolph derives the name from the Middle Low German phrase "to der, bi der kalen forde", "near the bare (little overgrown) ford". Local tradition ascribes the origin of the ford to a man named Kale, so the name means Kales-Förde (crossing point of the Kale).
In the 11th century, the Wends tried to secure the transition over the Ohre, but after the assimilation by the Germans in the 12th century, the dynasty families of the Ohre region secured the region around Calvörde. These dynasty families called themselves von Hildesleve, von Amensleve and von Greaves . Otto von Grieben died in 1208, and the castle and the goods went to his son-in-law Ulrich von Regenstein , whose descendants also stayed here for several centuries (including Albrecht and Heinrich von Regenstein). The Calvörde residents had to pay garden and meadow interest, as well as part of the harvest.
Calvörde Castle was first mentioned in the late 13th century . It changed hands several times in the following centuries. In 1571 the castle and town (with the Hünerdorf ) became part of the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel under Duke Julius of Braunschweig . The castle served as a ducal widows estate . In 1737 the dilapidated castle was demolished.
In the year 1306 a Hans von Eilsleve appeared and in 1331 also Bruno, Johann and Gebhard, all named Eilsleve, probably all fiefs of the Lords of Regenstein. From 1318 to 1344 Otto the Mild of Braunschweig and from 1323 to 1334 his wife Agnes owned the castle and the place. Otto's successor was Magnus von Braunschweig . The Braunschweiger gave the castle and the goods to several noble families as pledges for a long time . In 1343 Fritz von Wedderden came into pledge possession, and in 1357 his brother Gerhard for 1400 Stendal silver. In 1369 both donated a free house to the altar of the castle chapel on the new city bridge and made other charitable ecclesiastical foundations in Calvörde.
Already in the 14th century Calvörde had some city rights and was therefore surrounded by moats and huts . There were also two decent city gates , the Gardelegener and the Magdeburg Gate. In 1343 Calvörde also had a council that kept a public city seal . In 1380 Fritz von Wedderden's son, called Gerhard, inherited the lands, including those of his uncle Gerhard von Wedderden. In 1396 Friedrich von Alvensleben came into the possession of the extinct Wedderden, thus also of Calvörde.
Modern times - Reformation - Thirty Years War
In the middle of the 15th century many small villages around Calvörde fell into desolation (Isern, Käsdorf, Ranten, Griebitz and Parwitz), and their inhabitants moved to Calvörde. On July 4, 1492 the place burned down together with the church, but was rebuilt together with the church. On May 11, 1493, Duke Heinrich the Elder visited Calvörde and gave Friedrich von Alvensleben the patronage of the parish church in Calvörde (St. George's Church) and the vicarages there on a temporary basis. In 1518 Friedrich von Alvensleben died and his son Matthias von Alvensleben inherited his property. Because of his mild administration he was very popular. The Calvörder residents enjoyed several grazing and wood rights in the nearby Calvörder mountains. Ten years later Matthias von der Schulenburg , landlord of Altenhausen, came into the lien in Calvörde. He started the Reformation in Calvörde. In 1534 the pledge went to Andreas von Alvensleben, but Ludolf X. von Alvensleben also had a share. But this only lasted until 1559.
In 1561 the main road, which had previously been made of wood, was paved with pebbles. In 1568 the first school was built in Calvörde. In 1571 the castle and the place became part of the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel under Duke Julius von Braunschweig and the Duke united it with his immediate domain (Uthmöden, Zobbenitz, Dorst and Born) around Calvörde. In 1585 Duke Julius von Braunschweig issued a brewing deed to the citizens of Calvörde. Calvörde received a ducal bailiff who had many tasks, including the entire administration, administration of the land, logging, hunting and jurisdiction. In 1677 the official economy in Calvörde was leased separately and the forest and court administration gradually separated from it. The castle remained in the possession of the Dukes of Braunschweig, but the dairy and the outbuilding not far from the castle were converted into apartments for the officials. Duke Julius of Braunschweig often stayed at the castle. His third son, Joachim Carl , Provost of Strasbourg Cathedral , lived in this castle from 1608 to 1615. He donated the altar , pulpit , baptismal font and organ to the Calvörder church .
Around the beginning of the 17th century, the town was given the privilege of holding four annual markets, which boosted trade and commerce there. In the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) the castle was taken by imperial troops; they raged, robbed and pillaged in the official area. Many residents left their homes and farms. In autumn 1627 Calvörde received an imperial letter of protection and some troops were relocated from the castle to the town. On April 29, 1629, the office was handed over by the imperial commissioner, Colonel David Becker, Baron of Honor, to Duchess Anna Sophie von Braunschweig . In 1635 the nearby Zobbenitz was half cremated by Kurland horsemen.
Duchess Anna Sophie died in 1659, and the castle and office of Calvörde went back to the Duke in Braunschweig. The castle has now been occupied by the military. From 1783 to 1796 parts of the Drömling were reclaimed , with the newly reclaimed areas being used as pastureland.
Napoleonic period and restoration
During the Napoleonic period Calvörde was the capital of the canton Calvörde in the Kingdom of Westphalia (1807-1813); the villages of Wieglitz, Bülstringen, Flechtingen, Hasselburg, Lemsell, Hilgesdorf, Grauingen, Mannhausen, Wegenstedt and Etingen belonged to the canton. With the Congress of Vienna , Calvörde became part of the newly founded Duchy of Braunschweig . In 1809 the town of Hünerdorf was incorporated into Calvörde. In 1814 Calvörde was connected to the district office of Vorsfelde . In 1827 a separate district office in Calvörde was established.
Many crafts were represented in Calvörde. There were shoemakers, carpenters, joiners, tailors, blacksmiths, locksmiths, wheelwright and turners. Around 1831 there were 24 brewers and eleven masters of spirits in Calvörde. The place had developed so much that a railway connection was necessary. In 1891 the project of a railway line Neuhaldensleben-Gardelegen-Salzwedel was presented, to which Calvörde should be connected. This plan was not implemented.

Second German Empire and First World War
With the conclusion of peace after the Franco-Prussian War on January 18, 1871, trees were planted in many places; In Calvörde, three trees were planted in a triangle on the room square, they are to tell future generations about the accomplished times. In 1873 a cholera epidemic broke out, killing many residents. In 1890 a share starch factory, which was the only one in the Braunschweig region, was built. On July 25, 1900, the 50th anniversary of the Calvörde rifle club was celebrated. A bathing establishment was opened on June 23, 1902. For years (from 1894) efforts were made to get a rail connection to the Magdeburg-Oebisfelde state railway. The community felt compelled to build its own small railway towards Wegenstedt. The commissioning took place on October 1, 1909. In 1910 a council meeting decided that four large annual and livestock markets would take place and that a weekly market could be held every Monday. Probably the greatest event during the time of the German Empire was the centenary in Calvörde on March 9, 1913. The 22-ton memorial stone was ceremoniously erected on the market square. It is intended to commemorate the National Liberation of 1813 . With the outbreak of World War I , life changed only slightly. The war was far away, but the shortage of men was noticeable, women had to do the work in the fields, and famine spread in Calvörde towards the end of the war.
Weimar Republic, National Socialism and World War II
After the November Revolution in 1918, Calvörde became part of the Free State of Braunschweig . Life in Calvörde hardly changed, in the 20 years there was a cattle and pig market every Monday. But market life in Calvörde ended with National Socialism. Calvörde had a diverse and rich club life in the 1920s and 1930s. So the shooting festival was always celebrated in the forest village of Grieps. In 1935 the place got a water pipe with very good water quality, before each house had its own well in the yard. In 1922 a war memorial was erected in the cemetery according to the plans of Professor Lüpke from Braunschweig. In 1927 the cemetery chapel was built. On February 17, 1924, the local writer August Oppermann published the Calvörde Heimatlied Calvörde, on the lovely Ohrestrand . Construction of the section of the Mittelland Canal near Calvörde began in March 1934, and a transshipment port was built as early as 1935. Now women again took over the men's work in the fields and in the various factories such as the starch factory and the Herms canning factory. In the spring of 1945 the Allies (British and US Americans) came from the direction of Wegenstedt and Flechtingen; the attempt to blow up the Haldensleberbrücke to stop the Allies was thwarted by Calvörder. Calvörde was taken and the market place became the Allied assembly camp.
Post-war period, GDR and reunification
According to the resolutions of the 1st EAC Zone Protocol from 1944 and the Potsdam Agreement , the Braunschweig exclave Calvörde belonged to the province of Saxony in the Soviet occupation zone . The Red Army entered Calvörde and took cattle, food and building materials from the people. She built small bunkers in the Calvörde forest that are still standing today. A large gate was built on the former southern border to Wieglitz, and a red star was attached to the highest point. With the land reform in 1946, life in Calvörde changed suddenly and refugees had to be taken in. Calvörde was assigned to the district of Gardelegen and later to the district of Haldensleben . Life normalized, in 1952 two branches of the VEAB (Volkseigener Aufkaufbetrieb) were founded. In 1951 a Catholic church was built for the rapidly increasing number of Catholics, as well as the Calvörde consumer cooperative (1954) and a trade organization (1958). An LPG was founded. In 1955 the cinema was completely renovated. In 1967 the small railway line was shut down and a bus connection was set up. The forest village of Grieps became a local recreation area in the Magdeburg district . On January 8, 1990 there was a workers' demonstration in Calvörde. On May 6th, a free and secret local election was held in Calvörde for the first time; the CDU received six seats and the SPD received five seats in the Calvörde municipal council. The Protestant parishes have belonged again to the Braunschweig regional church since reunification . A year after reunification, a memorial stone for German unity was erected on the former station forecourt. Since April 16, 2002, the municipality of Calvörde has officially added the name Flecken .

Culture
Calvörde has traditionally and currently a diverse club life. Before the Second World War, the crowning glory of the club festivities was the large shooting festival on the 2nd and 3rd day of Pentecost. The Braunschweigische Landwehrverein Calvörde was founded in 1871 and celebrated its 60th anniversary with festive days in June 1931. Each club celebrated its summer party and held a club ball in winter. During and after the Second World War, this culture disappeared more and more. During the GDR era, the village club shaped club life. In 2007 the Calvörde associations had around 1000 members. Today the clubs organize most of the public social events such as: putting up the maypole on the market square; Celebration of Thanksgiving with church service in Grieps; Christmas market on the 1st of Advent on the market square. In the “Goldener Löwe” restaurant there is a hall for club and family celebrations. The three-day "Calvörde Festival", which takes place annually in June, is the highlight of the club's life. They are organized alternately by the associations, on the market square, in the grieps or on the premises of the fire brigade and, after merging with the surrounding communities, also in the villages.
