history

As early as the 9th century, an imperial monastery was possibly founded in Frose under King Ludwig the German. On September 13, 936 the place was Vrosa in the Memorandum of Servatius convent in Quedlinburg by Otto I mentioned, from the hearing Slavs were passed. Around 959/61 the St. Cyriacus Abbey was handed over to Margrave Gero , who converted it into a canonical monastery and placed it under the Gernrode Abbey, which he established that year, as a provost's office.

In 1511 the last two canonesses left the provost's office. In 1515 and 1516 Thomas Müntzer was provost in the abandoned monastery and also worked as a private tutor. The Reformation was introduced in 1544.

In Frose, Nachterstedt and the surrounding area, brown coal was mined in open-cast mining until 1990 . At the beginning of the 20th century, almost 200 miners were still working in the mine of the Anhalt coal works . In the “Nachterstedter Revier” coal was used on the one hand to supply fuel to the region, on the other hand, in the Nachterstedter upper seam, which is up to 40 m thick, lignite with a particularly high bitumen content was extracted and processed into montan wax in Amsdorf near Eisleben .

In recent years, the embankments have been rehabilitated and the remaining open-cast mining holes have become the “Seeland” recreation area , which gave the administrative community its name, to which Frose belonged until it was incorporated. The large Concordia lake has been open for swimming since 2002 and was closed in 2009, the somewhat smaller Königsau lake has become a biotope for rare bird species. Both lakes belong to the Harzer Seeland .

On July 15, 2009, Frose and four other towns formed the new municipality of Zealand . The last mayor was Christiane Kleist. In August 2011, the city's 1075th anniversary was celebrated.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved by the district on July 2, 2009.

Blazon : "Split by silver and green in a surge cut, a green water tower with a black door opening at the front, two window openings in the tower base, three (1: 2) more in the tower shaft and a black roof hood on the water tank, which is linked by vertical struts, and one at the back rising silver fish. "

The coat of arms was designed in 2009 by the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch and included in the approval process. In the traditional colors of green and white, split by a wave cut, it contains the symbols of the local water tower as an architectural monument that can be seen from afar, as well as the fish in relation to the Servatius monastery and the Romanesque collegiate church of St. Cyriakus. The representation of the fish as an early Christian symbol goes back to Peter . Peter was a fisherman; Jesus commanded him to be a “fisherman of men” (ie missionary ). The wave cut of the coat of arms refers to the lakes or ponds around the place.

flag

The flag is green and white (1: 1) striped (horizontal shape: stripes running horizontally, longitudinal shape: stripes running vertically) and centered with the municipal coat of arms.
