Gübs is a district of the unitary community Biederitz in the district of Jerichower Land in Saxony-Anhalt .
geography
The small church village of Gübs is located in the agriculturally used Ehleaue, which is directly adjacent to the eastern border of the state capital Magdeburg . The border is formed by the Elbe Umflutkanal , while the Ehle River to the east of Gübs delimits the district. The place can only be reached via a 2.5 km long spur road (K 1218), which branches off the federal road 184 at the neighboring town of Königsborn . At this junction is the Klein Gübs settlement belonging to the district.
history
The place name, which developed via Gubiz (1121) and Gubtz (1562) to its current name, is undoubtedly of Slavic origin, but it is not certain that Gübs was actually created by Slavs. Rather, it is assumed that German settlers took over the name of a village further south-west, which is mentioned in 1494 as the desert town of Lüthen Gwbitz. The German branch was influenced by the favorable traffic situation at the time, because the place developed on the important thoroughfare from Magdeburg to Brandenburg, the Klusdamm.
The first documentary evidence can be found in a deed of purchase from 1221, with which the change of ownership from the Zinna Monastery to the Magdeburg Monastery of St. Lorenz was carried out. In 1494 the ownership changed again when the Magdeburg Ferry Office took over the place and held it until 1807.
During the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) Gübs got involved in the clashes over Magdeburg with considerable losses of people and buildings and after the end of the war came under Brandenburg and later Prussian sovereignty. While the neighboring city of Magdeburg came under French rule from 1807 as a result of the Napoleonic wars , Gübs remained Prussian at this time. Through the district reform carried out in 1818, it was incorporated into the Jerichow I district with the district town of Burg .
Gübs was a founding member of the Ehle dyke association formed in March 1869 for flood defense in the East Elbe area. Until then, a ring dike protected the place, which, however, had increasingly proven to be insufficient. Together with the Magdeburger Deichverband and the Elbenauer Deichverband he took an active part in the construction of the Elbe flood canal to the west of the town between 1871 and 1875. This measure also benefited the agriculture in Gübs, whose fields were no longer flooded.
For a long time agriculture was the main line of business of the Gübser. By East Elbe standards , the soil was of good quality with an average number of 53 arable land . By the end of the Second World War , the place owned 15 farms. In the course of the collectivization of agriculture enforced by the GDR authorities from 1953 , the Gübser Höfe had to join the LPG in Wahlitz. In 1957, however, the farmers in Gübs split off and founded the local LPG "Bundschuh", which dealt specifically with arable farming and livestock.
During the GDR era, Gübs belonged administratively to the Burg district . Due to the territorial reform after German reunification, the place was incorporated into the district of Jerichower Land with the district town of Burg. With the end of state-controlled agriculture and the associated loss of jobs, the character of the village changed. From then on, the farms no longer dominated the townscape, and Gübs became the place of residence for Magdeburg commuters. From 2005 to 2009 Gübs was part of the Biederitz-Möser administrative association .
Until December 31, 2009, Gübs was an independent municipality. The last mayor of the community of Gübs was Karl Heinz Latz. On January 1, 2010, Gübs was incorporated into the unified community of Biederitz.
politics
coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on July 14, 1995 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.
Blazon : "Green over red divided by a silver sloping bar."
The colors are green - silver (white).
Green-red documents the centuries of belonging to the city of Magdeburg. The coat of arms is interrupted by a river, which documents that Gübs used to be on the Elbe (now the Umflutkanal) and was constantly suffering from floods.
The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg heraldist Erika Fiedler.
Buildings
The St. Andrew's Church is located south of the village. The late Romanesque building was partially destroyed in air raids in 1945 and rebuilt in the 1950s. The church has its origins in a chapel first mentioned in 1275.
Disasters of recent times
Elbe flood in 2002
The Elbe flood in 2002 did not leave Gübs without a trace. The Ehle, which flows through the Klein Gübs district, rose dramatically after the flood channel in Heyrothsberge broke. The water level of the Ehle rose so quickly that the district could not be defended against the water. All houses were evacuated and only opened to the population after weeks. The water had a maximum of 1.20 m on the street of the village and thus over 3 m higher than normal. This high water level leads to severe damage in the houses of the residents. Parts of the actual village were also flooded, only the old courtyards and the church were spared. The part of the village that was not flooded was difficult to reach because the district road connecting the Gübs with the surrounding communities runs through the heavily flooded Klein Gübs district and was impassable for cars.
