Detershagen , a formerly independent rural community, is now part of the town of Burg (near Magdeburg) . It is located four kilometers south of the city of Burger, west of federal highway 1 , which is reached via county road 1213, which is only one kilometer long. Although the Magdeburg - Berlin railway runs right by the site, the site does not have its own train station. With the exception of the Külzau Forest to the west, Detershagen is surrounded by the wetland of the Beeke River. While Detershagen is at a height of 46 meters, the terrain rises to the west up to 67 meters (Laternenberg), but then drops quickly to the banks of the Elbe .

history

The place was first mentioned as Tetershagen in 1296, when the Counts of Schwerin enfeoffed the noble Johann von Plotho with, among other things, "Tetershagen". In the period that followed, the place name changed via Dytershagen (1301), Dettershagen (1562) to today's spelling, which has been in use since 1620. The ending "-hagen" proves that it is a German establishment that began in the Jerichower Land in the 12th century. In unconfirmed sources there is talk of a settler named "Deter" who founded the place and built his hut at the highest point together with an enclosure to protect against wild animals. During the Thirty Years War , Detershagen was plagued by destruction, which mainly hit the church.

After Brandenburg had finally consolidated its territory in the eastern Middle Elbe in 1680, Detershagen was in the so-called Jerichower district . This was divided into two districts in 1785, and Detershagen came to District II with the city of Burg as the administrative center. After the Prussian administrative reform of 1815 it was the district Jerichow I . Neither the construction of the Chaussee Magdeburg - Plaue in 1821 nor the construction of the Magdeburg - Berlin railway line in 1846, both of which were more or less close to Detershagen, had any notable impact on the place. As in the Middle Ages , agriculture and forestry continued to determine the structure. After all, the number of inhabitants in the first half of the 20th century had an increasing tendency: while 315 people lived in Detershagen in 1910, there were 323 in 1939 and 356 in 1964.

On September 30, 1928, the estate district of Forst Detershagen was merged with the rural community of Detershagen, with the Möser station being separated and merged with the rural community of Möser .

From 1952 to 1990 Detershagen belonged to the Burg district, then to the Jerichower Land district. On December 1, 2002, the place was incorporated into the city of Burg.
