Fischbeck (Elbe) is a district of the municipality of Wust-Fischbeck in the Stendal district in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany).
geography
Fischbeck is located on the eastern edge of the Elbe lowlands, south of the intersection of the two federal highways 188 and 107 . The neighboring towns are Schönhausen in the north, Jerichow in the south and on the other side of the Elbe the city of Tangermünde .
The nearest train station with connections to Stendal and Berlin is in Schönhausen. The Elbe flows west of Fischbeck at a distance of 2.5 kilometers. In between there is a protected landscape area and the 7 km² Schönhauser Forest extends north of the village.
history
In the 10th century Fischbeck belonged with a dozen other Slavic places to Burgward Kabelitz, which was donated to Jerichow Abbey in 1145 as a gift from Havelberg Bishop Klalob. In a document from 1172, in which Fischbeck is officially mentioned for the first time, this is attested by the Archbishop of Magdeburg, Wichmann . A church was built as early as 1220. To secure the place, Dutch colonists who had experience in dike building were settled. In 1337 Fischbeck was again in the possession of the Havelberg cathedral monastery. In another document from 1377, a castle is mentioned in connection with the abandonment of the Magdeburg Archbishopric of jurisdiction over Fischbeck. This document is also related to a dispute between the archbishopric and the diocese of Havelberg about the rights over Fischberg, which was decided in favor of Havelberg. In 1437, the Havelberg bishop Konrad replaced all archbishopric rights by paying 1,100 guilders. Later found several times in Fischbeck, B. 1490 and 1533, negotiations about disputes between the Archbishopric and the Mark Brandenburg take place.
In exchange for the village of Burgstall , the Brandenburg electoral prince Johann Georg gave Fischbeck to the von Bismarck family, who lived in Altmark , in order to expand their hunting grounds in Letzlingen. Since the von Bismarcks insisted that Fischbeck had to become Altmark, the place formed an Altmark enclave from then on together with Schönhausen, which was also given to the von Bismarcks, in the possession of the Magdeburg Archbishopric. When, after the defeat of Prussia by Napoleon, the Altmark fell to the French Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 , the Schönhausen-Fischbeck enclave was annexed to the Brandenburg state of Jerichow. With the Prussian administrative reorganization of 1815, Fischbeck came to the district of Jerichow II .
Fischbeck had long had its own mail expedition on the important Stendal – Rathenow post road, but with the completion of the Genthin-Havelberger Chaussee in 1845 and the Genthin-Schönhausen small railroad in 1899, additional convenient transport routes were added. Nevertheless, it was not possible to establish factories in Fischbeck in the wake of the German wave of industrialization. Agriculture and fishing continued to be the main industries.
Instead of the previous ferry connection, the Tangermünde Elbe Bridge was inaugurated in 1933 . During the Second World War, there was a direct rail link over the Elbe to Tangermünde for a short time on the combined road and rail bridge. For military reasons, at the end of 1944 a track was laid across the north side of the Tangermünder Elbe bridge to the Genthiner Railway near Fischbeck. Work trains and locomotive journeys were the only traffic on this track for a long time, only a single transport train with 25 wagons full of ammunition and food is said to have used the route on April 12, 1945. On the same day the bridge was blown up by the German armed forces . At the beginning of May 1945 the Army met Wenck on their retreat from the Red Army near Fischbeck on the banks of the Elbe, where thousands of civilian refugees had already arrived. Despite the shelling by the American and Soviet guns, most soldiers and civilians managed to reach the western bank via the rubble of the Elbe bridge or with barges, ferries and rafts that the Wenck Army had procured.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Kabelitz was incorporated.
In 1950 the Elbe bridge to Tangermünde was restored as a road bridge. With the East German government reform from 1952 Fischbeck came in the Magdeburg district belonging Kreis Havelberg . On May 30, 1999, rail traffic between Genthin and Schönhausen was discontinued. In 2001 a new road bridge over the Elbe to Tangermünde was completed, the old bridge was demolished.
Until December 31, 2009, Fischbeck (Elbe) was an independent municipality with the associated district of Kabelitz .
The municipal councils of the municipalities Fischbeck (on June 4, 2009) and Wust (on February 17, 2009) decided by means of a territorial change agreement that their municipalities should be dissolved and merged into a new municipality called Wust-Fischbeck . This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on January 1, 2010.
After a dike breach in the course of the Elbe flood in 2013 , the place, the neighboring Kabelitz and large surrounding areas were on 9/10. June almost completely flooded. The dike breach is to be named in 2019 and equipped with a memorial place.

The Fischbeck district belonged to the diocese of Havelberg and came into the possession of the Brandenburg rulers through the Reformation and was exchanged by him in 1562 to the von Bismarck family, who insisted on belonging to the Altmark. That is why the colors red and silver were chosen. The fish refers to the name of the community.
