Location of Dönitz in Saxony-Anhalt

Dönitz is a village and part of the town of Klötze in the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

The Altmark village of Dönitz is about 20 kilometers northeast of Wolfsburg and about five kilometers east of the state border with Lower Saxony . The place is geologically on the Calvörder plaice. The Jeetze rises two kilometers southwest of Dönitz near the village of Altferchau . The next national road connection is the B 248 , which runs about six kilometers west of Dönitz.

Local division

The village of Dönitz consists of the three districts Dönitz, Altferchau and Schwarzendamm .

history

The history of the three villages of today's town goes back far into the Middle Ages. They fell desolate in the Middle Ages and were later settled again. In terms of regional history, they always belonged to the Altmark and thus to the margraviate and the electorate of Brandenburg . Dönitz is a Wendish foundation. The name comes from the old Slavic dŭno and means something like "place in the valley floor".

Dönitz was first mentioned in 1420 as dacz dorff czu dontze, dacz is desert . The village was therefore uninhabited when it was mentioned in a deed about a fief for Günzel von Bartensleben .

In 1442 the village with the mill and all accessories was named as the property of the Wolfsburg lordship. In 1541 it was named Duntz . 1608 it is a village in the Beritt (Landreiterei) Salzwedel. In 1620 four farmers and two kossats are listed. Further mentions are 1687 Doentze and 1804 Dönitz .

The nameless watermill in Dönitz, which is still intact but no longer in use, is considered the first to be built on the Jeetze.

Incorporations

On April 1, 1938, the communities of Dönitz, Schwarzendamm and Altferchau in the Salzwedel district merged to form a new community called Dönitz. On July 1, 1950, this community was reclassified from the Salzwedel district to the new Gardelegen district . On July 25, 1952, she came to the Klötze district . After its dissolution it was assigned to the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel .

By means of an agreement to change the area, the municipality of Dönitz decided on January 9, 2009 that the municipality of Dönitz should be incorporated into the town of Klötze. This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on January 1, 2010.

After the previously independent municipality of Dönitz was incorporated, Altferchau, Dönitz and Schwarzendamm became districts of the town of Klötze. The local constitution was introduced for the incorporated municipality in accordance with §§ 86 ff. Municipality code of Saxony-Anhalt . The incorporated community of Dönitz and the future districts of Dönitz, Altferchau and Schwarzendamm became the locality of the receiving city of Klötze. A local council with three members, including the local mayor, was formed in the incorporated municipality and now Dönitz.

On January 1, 2010, the districts of Dönitz, Altferchau and Schwarzendamm became part of the town of Klötze and the newly built village of Dönitz.

politics

mayor

The last mayor of the community was Dirk Fuhrmann. The last municipal council consisted of eight council members and the presiding mayor.

The current local mayor is Matthias Licht.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on February 9, 1994 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.

Blazon : "Split by red and silver with a tree stump leafed by three young shoots in confused colors."

The coat of arms focuses on symbolic elements that are common to all three former districts. Dönitz is still rich in beautiful old trees and generally in largely intact nature. This is symbolized by the tree, which is not assigned to a specific tree species, but represents all the trees in the mixed forest that predominates here. The historical commonality of the decline and re-emergence of all three districts is symbolized by the tree stump with new shoots. In terms of regional history, the places belonged for centuries to the Altmark and thus to the margraviate and the electorate of Brandenburg, whose colors are red and silver.

The colors of the former parish are red and silver (white).

The coat of arms was designed by Arnold Rabbow from Brunswick.
