Eickerhöfe is a district of the Hanseatic town of Seehausen (Altmark) in the Stendal district in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

The place is three kilometers south of Wittenberge and nine kilometers north of Seehausen (Altmark) in the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve on the Elbgraben. The Aland-Elbe-Niederung nature reserve begins north of the village with the brackets Vorderbrack and Hinterbrack.

Neighboring places are Wittenberge in the north, Garsedow , Wallhöfe and Lütjenheide in the northeast, Zwischenendeich and Schadebeuster in the east, Losenrade in the southeast, Hohe Geest and Eickhof in the south, Geestgottberg in the southwest and Marsche in the west.

history

The first written mention of the old and new Eickerhof comes from 1608 as "Eckerhoff". Further mentions are 1687 Eickerhoff and 1775 Eickerhöfe . In 1804 there were two noble estates, Alt- and Neu-Eickerhöfe or Ekerhöfe, together with a sexton, 4 Büdners, 5 residents and 2 windmills. As early as 1842 there was a school house with a teacher who was also a chapel sexton .

Allegations of sorcery and witchcraft are also passed down from Eickerhöfe. In 1652 Adam Christoph Gans Edler Herr zu Putlitz accused his cowherd Susanne Engels at Eickerhöfe as having caused damage to his cattle and theft on his farm. In 1663 there was a witch trial in Eickerhöfe before the Putlitz court, as a result of which the witch burning was carried out on today's Steinfelder Sand.

Until the Elbe bridge in Wittenberge was built in 1851, the ferry to Wittenberge was of great importance for the place. A barge ferry was still in operation in the 20th century.

During the land reform , the manor Eickerhöfe was expropriated in 1945. Its agricultural area of ​​254.4 hectares was divided up: 43 hectares went to the municipality, 38 hectares to the land fund and the rest was sold to 42 settlers.

Origin of the place name

One author is of the opinion that the place name can be traced back to the German word "Eiche". Others believe that the name comes from the Wendish “auka”, in German “goose”.

Incorporations

On October 17, 1928, the Eickerhöfe manor district from the Osterburg district was combined with the Losenrade rural community , with the enclave being united with the Geestgottberg rural community. The district of Eickerhöfe has belonged to Seehausen since January 1, 2010. The municipality of Losenrade merged with other municipalities on January 1, 2010 to form the new municipality of Hanseatic City of Seehausen (Altmark).

religion

The Protestant Christians from Eickerhöfe belonged to the parish Eickerhöfe, which formerly belonged to the parish of Wahrenberg. Today they are the parish association Beuster-Aland in the parish area Beuster the church district Stendal in Propst Sprengel Stendal Magdeburg of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany serves.

Culture and sights

  • The Eickerhöfe manor chapel is a simple, unplastered half-timbered building from 1708. It was still used for church services until the 1970s. Due to lack of use and neglect, the chapel fell into disrepair and is acutely endangered. The equipment is lost. It is privately owned.
  • The manor is a listed building.

Eickerhöfe cemetery

Wilhelm Fascher reported on the cemetery at the end of the 20th century: “There used to be a small cemetery at the chapel in Eickerhöfe. The same has not been used for a long time. However, references and documents testify that in 1813 there were graves and crypts of the manor of Eickhof as well. ... German soldiers who died in 1945 were buried at the chapel in Eickerhöfe. The graves, initially cared for, are already barely recognizable today. "

The legend of the prophetic bell

Under the headings “A Sage” and “Prophetic Bell” there was a dispute in the Freimüthigen Abendblatt in Schwerin in 1831 about the bell of the chapel in Eickerhöfe “whose inscription announced all the recent and modern events in advance”. This referred to the inscription on the bell which reads, among other things, "God keep me, this church, and current and future patrons especially at the evil time from 1811 to 1863". Leopold Friedrich Gans had this bell cast by Heinrich Kramer in Salzwedel in 1718 and he also wrote the inscription from his calculations for the Revelation , which he published in a book in 1712.

This famous bell from the abandoned church in Eickerhöfe has been hanging in the Sankt-Nikolaus-Kirche in Beuster since April 2019 .
