About this picture

Giersleben is a municipality in the Salzlandkreis in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany). She is a member of the Saale-Wipper community .

The place is mentioned for the first time under the name Gereslevo in a document signed by Otto I from the year 937. It is now in the Goslar City Archives .

geography

The community of Giersleben is located in the valley of the lower Wipper , a few kilometers before its confluence with the Saale . The city of Güsten is five kilometers away, Aschersleben nine kilometers. The districts of Strummendorf (formerly Salmutshof) and Hopfenberg belong to Giersleben. The formerly wooded area northwest of the Wippertal on the southern edge of the Magdeburger Börde is used intensively for agriculture because of the good soil. Neighboring communities are Staßfurt, Aschersleben, Güsten and Hecklingen.

Culture and sights

Gnadenkirche Giersleben

The Gnadenkirche, consecrated in 1759 after reconstruction, is located on the Kirchberg in Giersleben. It is partly Gothic style and is one of the most beautiful buildings in Giersleben. Together with the church in the neighboring village of Klein Schierstedt, it is the only church built on a hill in the vicinity of the neighboring communities. Its bell, cast in Magdeburg in 1587, is one of the oldest bells from the time after the Reformation. There is also a war memorial near the church that commemorates the First World War .

The newly designed cemetery is located at the western end of Giersleben.

In the yard next to the school in settlement 225b there has been a memorial stone in memory of the KPD leader Ernst Thälmann since 1970 . West of the town on the L 72 between Schackenthal and Warmsdorf is the obelisk near Giersleben , built in 1838 , which, however, belongs to Amesdorf. One of the events every year is the village festival with the traditional "seesaw race", where in earlier years the seesaws are lowered with self-made boats and today with tires.

The community's cultural monuments are listed in the local register of monuments. The Lukasmühle is located on the southern edge of the village .

Facilities

Giersleben has a bowling alley, an event hall and a festival stage.

The community has a volunteer fire brigade with the most modern emergency vehicles and equipment. It was founded on September 11, 1890.

The shooting club Union 91 e. V. of the village was founded on March 19, 1991 and has its own shooting range.

The village has a kindergarten and a primary school with a sports hall. Up until 2005 there was also a secondary school in Giersleben, but this was closed due to the low number of pupils.

There is also a dentist, a general practitioner, a post office and a nursing home in Giersleben.

politics

On February 24, 2013, Peter Rietsch was elected mayor of the community.

Municipal council

The council consists of nine council members. Since the local elections on June 7, 2009, eight councilors belong to the Free Citizens Giersleben group, one council member was non-attached.

After the 2019 election there will be this distribution of seats:

  • Free Citizens Group Giersleben: (8 seats)
  • CDU : (1 seat)

Community membership

Until 2005, Giersleben was a member of the Wippertal administrative community . Since January 1, 2005 Giersleben has belonged to the administrative community of the city of Hecklingen . In May 2009 it was decided to dissolve this administrative community. In June 2009 the mayors of Giersleben, the member communities of the Saale-Wipper administrative community and Amesdorf signed the agreement on the establishment of the Saale-Wipper community on January 1, 2010.

In November 2010, the citizens' initiative Wir sind Giersleben began collecting signatures against Giersleben's membership in the new community. The primary goal of the initiative is to incorporate Giersleben into the city of Aschersleben . A total of 362 signatures were collected, which were handed over to the municipal council on November 23, 2010. Due to failure to meet deadlines, the application was rejected on January 31, 2011 by the Giersleben municipal council. On August 17, 2011, however , the municipal supervisory authority of the Salzlandkreis announced that the citizens' initiative was allowed. In a referendum in 2014, 65.4 percent finally voted against incorporation into Aschersleben.

Economy and Infrastructure

The infrastructure has been significantly improved since the 1990s: New streets, some of which are modern and some of which are historical, add considerable value to the village. The new bridges over the Wipper make it easier for heavy haulage to pass through the village.

Giersleben has a stop on the railway line (Dessau–) Köthen – Aschersleben . The railway to Blankenheim also branches off here .

The federal motorway 36 leads past Giersleben . This leads from the A 39 in Braunschweig with a connection to the A 369 near Vienenburg to the A 14 near Bernburg and thus connects the Harz with the Anhalt region .
