Location of Domersleben in Saxony-Anhalt |
Domersleben is a district of the city of Wanzleben-Börde in the Börde district in Saxony-Anhalt .
Geographical location
Domersleben is located on the Sarre tributary of the Bode , immediately north of Wanzleben and around ten kilometers west of Magdeburg . The poorly forested area around Domersleben in the northern Magdeburg Börde is intensively farmed.
history
The oldest written evidence of its existence was provided by a document from 1056.
On January 1, 2010 the previously independent municipalities of Domersleben, Bottmersdorf , Dreileben , Eggenstedt , Groß Rodensleben , Hohendodeleben , Klein Rodensleben and the cities of Wanzleben and Seehausen merged to form the new city of Wanzleben-Börde.
Village church
The foundation stone of the village church was laid on April 18, 1749 under the liturgical direction of Pastor Johann Matthias Cramer (approx. 1706–1793) a brother-in-law of the later Gotthold Ephraim Lessing opponent and Hamburg chief pastor Johann Melchior Goeze (1717–1786). The end of construction was on October 4, 1751. The church was (until the installation of the heating in the 20th century) u. a. Burial place for some of the Cuno children, set up by Oberamtmann Heinrich Johann Cuno (1720–1786), son of Oberamtmann Johann Georg Cuno (1679–1742), whose tombstone is preserved on the north side. This was a brother of the Schöningen rector Sigismund Andreas Cuno . Heinrich Johann Cuno's wife Marie Elisabeth (1696–1756) was a daughter of the Halle War and Domain Councilor Johann Paul Stecher . They owned the von Bismarcksche (Friedensstrasse 11) and until 1783 also the Tuchfeldsche Gut.

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on June 30, 1997 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.
Blazon : "In silver a red church with a pointed tower and to the right of it a red pointed tower, both with black arched window openings, a silver fish in the red shield base."
In 1997, Domersleben commissioned the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch to develop a heraldically correct and approved local coat of arms. The aim was to establish a reference to a historical seal that showed an apparently double-towered church and to the former Domerslebener See.
When depicting buildings, it should be noted that they do not represent an architectural reproduction in the coat of arms. Here, too, the building expresses a strongly generalized symbolism or a real but alienated condition. The pinnacle wall in many city coats of arms may serve as an example, which is a symbol of defensibility, even if the place never had a city wall in reality.
In the past, the seals of the villages often bore the image of their church or their patron saint. It is clear that given the fact that almost every village had a church, this cannot necessarily be included in a coat of arms; the uniqueness and peculiarity of the coat of arms would not be achieved.
In the case of the historic seal of the municipality of Domersleben, this is different. This is not a representation of a two-tower church or a cathedral, but the original church, which stood close to a watchtower or defense tower built in the same way as the church tower.
The church of St. Peter and Paul was built in Domersleben around the 10th to 11th centuries. It stood below a rise, close to the said watchtower. When it was rebuilt in 1749, the church was built right next to the tower. Both buildings were plastered so that they were seen as a single structure for generations. The astonishment was all the greater when the plaster was removed from the outside walls in the recent past. The two towers now clearly differed and the image of the seal was explained. Not the Magdeburg Cathedral - as previously assumed, was meant in the old seal, but the two dominant buildings at the time - the church and the fortified tower, which were only a few meters apart.
The municipality of Domersleben decided in March 1997 to include the symbolism of the tower and church in the newly created coat of arms. Furthermore, it was decided to carry the fish as a symbol to the Domersleben lake, which was drained in 1791. This large lake was once used by the community for fishing.
The colors of the former municipality are red / silver (white).
flag
The flag of the former municipality is red and white, diagonally striped with an applied coat of arms.
