history
The megalithic graves near Schadewohl and the megalithic graves near Diesdorf prove that the region was settled as early as the Neolithic Age.
The place was first mentioned in 1112. In 1161, Count Hermann von Warpke-Lüchow founded the monastery of the Augustinian Canons Marienwerder . This strongly shaped the history and development of the place. After the Reformation and secularization of the monastery in 1551, a domain office of the Brandenburg state and a noble women's foundation were established here . In 1810 both were dissolved under the rule of the French Kingdom of Westphalia . After the reclassification to Prussia , the place came with the Altmark to the administrative district Magdeburg and thus to the province of Saxony , from which the state of Saxony-Anhalt emerged in 1947 . From 1952, with the dissolution of the states in the GDR , Diesdorf belonged to the Magdeburg district . Since March 27, 1998, the municipality officially has the name affix Flecken .
In 1911 Germany's first open-air museum was founded on the southern edge of Diesdorf.

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on April 1, 1997 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.
Blazon : "In red, a golden bordered black cross with a heart shield, angled by four rising golden oak leaves, the heart shield with a black and gold square, topped with a diamond window in confused colors."
With the monastery, Diesdorf played an important role in the development of the Altmark. The Augustinian monastery, founded in 1161 by the Counts of Warpke-Lüchow, contributed significantly to the development of the structure and the location. It played an important role in missionary work and economic development. Located in the geographical border area of abutting territories, various political and cultural influences crossed and combined here. This is expressed in the coat of arms both through the cross and the heart shield. The cross stands for Christianization and the monastery monastery, but also for crossroads. The border area of the Altmark is symbolized in the heart shield by the abutting fields of the diagonal crossing. The diamond-shaped window, based on the coat of arms of the founding lords of the monastery, surrounds the center of the inclined crossing like a wall and thus has a multiple symbolic effect. On the one hand, the oak leaves refer to the beauty of the natural landscape; on the other, centuries-old oaks line the monastery walls. The rhombus is also a concrete reference to the townscape. Not only the half-timbered building of the open-air museum Diesdorf shows this motif in multiple variations, the remaining parts of the medieval monastery walls also bear this eye-catching symbol in alternation of red and black bricks.
