history

Gate to the church grounds

A first documented mention of Dahlens comes from the year 1236 ( Dalhem ) and is related to a knight Georg von Dalhem . However, the place itself is older.

The village church in Dahlen was built at the end of the 12th century. In 1343 Margrave Ludwig I enfeoffed the von Quitzow family with the income from the church loan ze dalme . During the Thirty Years' War the place was completely devastated, the inhabitants died to a large extent. Only two men who had hidden in the pipe are said to have survived. After the war the place was rebuilt. In 1813 French officers stayed in a pastor's house that no longer exists. When the building was demolished in 1895, her remains were found under the floor of the bakery. The details of the death are not known.

There were also two blacksmiths in the village. One was made in 1834. After the wars from 1864 to 1871, agriculture flourished. In Dahlen, which was laid out as a street village, livestock farming developed in particular. Dahlen received the first school in 1929. The classroom and the former teachers' house are still today next to the fire station. In 1970 the new Käthe Kollwitz School was inaugurated, but closed again in 1999.

Welle was mentioned in a document as early as 1151, the farming village of Dahrenstedt in 1160, Gohre in 1290. The Romanesque stone churches are worth seeing in all four districts . In addition to the Dahlen village church, these are the village church Dahrenstedt , the village church Gohre and the Gutskirche Welle .

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Gohre was incorporated.

Economy and Infrastructure

Due to its convenient location near the intersection of two federal highways, the place has become an attractive residential area in recent years. In addition to craft and service companies, agriculture is still a defining element. There is a day-care center in the village, and Dahlen was a primary school location until 2002.

Today, Welle and Dahrenstedt are a bit off the national traffic arteries. Dahlen and Gohre, on the other hand, are on the B 189 , the most important north-south connection in the north of Saxony-Anhalt. North of Dahlen, the B 189 is crossed by the B 188 ( Wolfsburg- Stendal- Rathenow ). In nearby Stendal there are rail connections to Hanover , Berlin , Magdeburg and Schwerin .
