Around 1254 the St. Johannis Church in Schraplau owned 2.5 Hufen acres here, around 1311 St. Stephen's Cathedral in Halberstadt also had 2.5 Hufen acres here. Then a Vorwerk of the Gerbstedt monastery was built. In 1618 a pond was created in Dresewitz. On April 4, 1636, the place was finally cremated.
