Origin of the place name

The name could be derived from Argo , Erk , an old German personal name from the Old High German arc for greedy or arg .

Earlier mention 1145

The historian Peter P. Rohrlach writes that it is uncertain whether the information about Errekesleue , beginning in 1145 in the documents of the diocese of Magdeburg, is related to the Exleben near Osterburg. It could also mean the experience in today's Börde district.

Incorporations

On October 1, 1938, the municipalities of Erxleben and Möckern, both from the Osterburg district , merged to form one municipality of Erxleben.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Polkau was incorporated into the municipality of Erxleben. On July 25, 1952, Erxleben was reclassified to the Osterburg district . On July 1, 1994, the Erxleben community came to the Stendal district .

Say from experience

In 1901, Alfred Pohlmann passed on the legend "The ghostly train between Erxleben and Düsedau".

You can't hear a sound. The horses perceive the ghostly train much sooner and even better than humans ...
