State road 54 leads through the village via Gladau to federal road 1 , via which the district town of Burg, 22 kilometers away, can be reached. In the opposite direction, the state road leads to federal road 107 and after 13 kilometers to Genthin. Large agricultural areas extend south of Dretzel.
history
The place is of Slavic origin and was in the Wendengau Moricane (Morizane), which covered the southern part of today's district of Jerichower Land. At the beginning of the 10th century, the Frankish King Heinrich I established a castle guard called Dritzele to secure the eastern border of his empire. His successor, Emperor Otto I , handed Dretzel over to the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . When his son Emperor Otto II confirmed this in writing on June 5, 973, Dretzel was first mentioned in a document.
In connection with the restoration of the diocese of Merseburg , Emperor Heinrich II confirmed the archbishopric's ownership rights to Dretzel again in 1011. In the 14th century, the miners Henning and Werner von Kracht are enfeoffed with Dretzel . You are the builder of the first Dretzel Castle. They were followed around 1350 by the von Meyendorf family, who lived in Altenplathow and who owned the place until the 16th century. In 1553 Dretzel was acquired by the archbishop's privy councilor Lippold von Arnim in exchange for possessions near Burg by Georg von Meyendorf. Lippold's descendant, the Canon Hans Georg von Arnim , sold Dretzel in 1617 to Georg von Angern on Stassfurt.
On the occasion of an inspection of the drying up of the Fiener Bruch, which he ordered, the Prussian King Friedrich II stayed at Dretzel Castle in 1779. When the last male descendant of the von Angern family, Rittmeister Gustav Friedrich von Angern, died in 1790, his daughter Ferdinandine married the war and domain counselor Herrmann Ludwig von Stilcke. He had to rebuild Dretzel Castle after it burned down in the Napoleonic era in 1807. Stilcke's only son died at the age of 31, so that Dretzel came into the possession of her husband's family, the Prussian Major General Heinrich von Ostau, through their daughter Adelgunde in 1835 .
As part of the Prussian administrative reform of 1815, Dretzel and its 300 inhabitants came to the Jerichow II district with the district town of Genthin. Although the Güsen – Ziesar railway ran through the village from 1917 , Dretzel retained its agricultural character. Only a brandy distillery was operated on the estate. However, the number of residents had risen to 359 in 1910. On September 30, 1928 was Gutsbezirk Dretzel associated with the rural community Dretzel.
In 1945 the former manor Dretzel was expropriated by the land reform ordered by the Soviet occupying power . The land ownership was divided among new farmers . In 1948 the castle became the property of the municipality, which subsequently used it as a kindergarten, school, youth club and dormitory. On July 1, 1950, Dretzel was incorporated into the neighboring town of Gladau. From 1952, the former estate was used for cooperatives. As a result of the political change in 1989, Hans-Fabian von Ostau succeeded in buying the castle back into his family's possession in 1999.
With the incorporation of Gladaus, Dretzel became a district of the city of Genthin on July 1, 2009.

Historical coat of arms
The former municipality of Dretzel already had a coat of arms-like seal image in its municipality seal. This was used in the period after the Second World War until about the introduction of the districts and counties in the GDR (1945–1952). Another source is the County Home Museum in Genthin.
coat of arms
Blazon : "In red over a silver shield base covered with a red bar, a grazing silver sheep."
The coat of arms of the district of Dretzel was registered and documented in the German coat of arms of the HEROLD on November 18, 2014 as the coat of arms of a non-independent district under the registry no. 36 ST . It was donated by the Dretzel eV Fire Brigade Association, represented by Mr. Falk-Holger Schmidt, in order to use it as a symbol of the local-local identity outside of official acts. The design was done by the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch , who carried out the certification.
The management of a coat of arms for the now local part of Dretzel was decided on the initiative of the Dretzel fire brigade association, represented by Mr. Falk-Holger Schmidt, in order to use a coat of arms representing the local tradition as a symbol of the individual self-portrayal of Dretzel. At the same time, the coat of arms should be a lasting identity-creating symbol for the residents of Dretzel in connection with their hometown.
In 1973 the place celebrated its 1000th anniversary and designed a coat of arms for it. It shows a grazing silver sheep in a blue-green coat of arms divided by a silver bar. Since this representation did not correspond to the heraldic rules, the founder decided to keep the grazing sheep as the main symbol, but not to show it in perspective. Furthermore, it was considered to include additional symbolism in the coat of arms, which refers to the place name and the former rulership.
Etymologically Dretzel or Dritzele from the Slavic word stem passes tret from means which third or a third party. Even today we can find the root of the word in this meaning in trzecia (polish), tretina (ch) and (russ). Since not the place, but originally Burgward was named that way, it stands to reason that it was one of three, or a third of a dominant and administrative area defined at that time, which is purely speculative.
A first loan can be found in the 14th century with the squires Henning and Werner von Kracht , who were also the builders of the first Dretzel castle. The coat of arms of the von Kracht tribe from Brandenburg is described as: “In blue a winged silver griffin claw with a red bar above the silver wing; on the helmet with blue-red-silver covers the shield image. ”The interesting thing about this coat of arms is the red bar, which on a silver flight signals the Brandenburg and Magdeburg colors.
Derived from the coat of arms designed in the GDR, which has established itself in the consciousness of the population through frequent use, as well as from the meaning of the name and the first proven liege lords, the local coat of arms was developed with all three elements to which Dretzel refers. These are a grazing sheep and a shield foot, which is divided into three thirds by the von Kracht family's red bar. Sheep, name and historical reference to the coat of arms are thus contained in a reduced representation in the local coat of arms.
