history
Carl Engel researched the first traces of settlement through excavations on the fire burial ground near Groß Ammensleben. The results were incorporated into the dissertation "The Neolithic Cultures in the Middle Elbe". In doing so, he worked out the Ammensleben subgroup from the Schönfeld culture researched from 1905 (approx. 2,800-2,200 BC). Renewed archaeological excavations were carried out in connection with the expansion of the Mittelland Canal in 2002 under the direction of Robert Heiner, with at least one grave (finding 16) of the Neolithic Baalberg culture (4,200-3,100 BC) with two vessels being discovered as grave goods .
The first documentary mention ( Nordammuneslevu ) comes from the year 965. The village was a family property of the Counts of Hillersleben-Ammensleben , who founded a family monastery here in 1110 . The history and development of the place are closely linked to the Groß Ammensleben monastery.
The monastery was handed over to Archbishop Norbert von Xanten and thus to the Archdiocese of Magdeburg in 1127, with the bailiwick rights remaining with the founding family. In 1129, the church and monastery were transferred to the Benedictine order by Archbishop Norbert von Xanten. Elevated to the rank of an abbey in 1140, the monastery always remained closely linked to the Berge monastery near Magdeburg.
In the 15th century, the monks joined the Bursfeld reform movement. In connection with the consecration of the Marienkapelle in 1523 by Archbishop Cardinal Albrecht von Brandenburg, the abbots in Groß Ammensleben were granted the papal privilege to wear a miter and crosier like a bishop at solemn services (coat of arms next to Paul's sword and Peter's key with miter and crosier). Two mitres have been preserved and two caseln are exhibited in the Museum for Brandenburg Church and Cultural History, Bishop's Residence Burg Ziesar.
In the environment turned towards the Lutheran Reformation, the monastery remained firmly in the Catholic faith after a short wavering, but also had to take care of the pastoral care of the Protestant community in Groß Ammensleben. At the urging of the Protestant ruler and administrator of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, the later Elector Joachim Friedrich von Brandenburg, the monastery had to employ a Protestant preacher from 1584 and make the nave of the church available for Protestant worship.
With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of February 25, 1803, the secularization took place on October 2, 1804 (the presence of the monks received). The monastery church became a parish church and the monastery with its farmyard became a royal Prussian domain office. King Friedrich Wilhelm III. von Prussia had also taken over responsibility for the church with the royal estate, so that in the course of the land reform in 1945/46 in the SBZ (Soviet occupation zone) the domain and church were transferred to "public property".
The former domain was managed by the LPG (Agricultural Production Cooperative) and the polytechnic high school was located in the representative tenant house.
The former domain was acquired by the community of Niedere Börde after German reunification and could be partially renovated with funding (including the Schäfertor from 1525 with a baroque cartouche and donor figures on the front, expansion of the old forge into a community and information center on the Romanesque Road). The church was transferred back to the Catholic Church from communal ownership in 2000, and the Protestant community also celebrates its service here. Extensive renovation work was carried out in 2014–2017.
Groß Ammensleben, with the former Benedictine monastery church in the ensemble with the former domain to Magdeburg, is the first stop of the sights on the northern route of the “Romanesque Road” in Saxony-Anhalt and has been part of the “European Cultural Route” since 2006.
The Lüneburg Heerstraße once ran through the town, a trade route that has existed since the Middle Ages, and led via Vahldorf, Calvörde and Braunschweig to Lüneburg.
Groß Ammensleben had a post office from 1740 (cloister restoration "Zum golden Lamm" - today: restaurant "Zur Post") and is a train station on the Magdeburg-Haldensleben railway line opened in 1872, which was extended in the northern section to Oebisfelde in 1874 and now leads to Wolfsburg ( VW factory and transition to the ICE).
In 1525, Groß Ammensleben was probably the northernmost place of an uprising in the German Peasants' War. During the Thirty Years War, the place and the monastery suffered looting and devastation by soldiers and marauders passing through. The Benedictine monks moved to Wolfenbüttel, where an abbot election also took place in 1636. Very soon the monastery and thus the town prospered again. The Groß Ammenslebener Klosterbräu, which u. a. was served in a monastery tavern on Magdeburg's Leiterstrasse.
In 1769, by order of King Friedrich II of Prussia, twenty colonist families were settled. In 1781 135 campfire sites were counted, including 4 farmers, 8 half-spouses, 20 large and 6 small cossetes, with a total of 427 inhabitants.
During the Kingdom of Westphalia (1807-1813), Groß Ammensleben was the canton's capital in the Neu-Haldensleben district of the Elbe department. Napoleon Bonaparte donated the royal Prussian domain to Marshal Michel Ney. The forest master Andreas Baethge from Groß Ammensleben became one of the outstanding organizers of the Prussian Landwehr and the Landsturm in the fight against Napoleonic foreign rule (skirmishes near the French-occupied Magdeburg fortress). In 1808, 200 French soldiers and 400 horses were quartered in Groß Ammensleben. Due to the carelessness of a French hussar, a devastating fire broke out in the Maire's horse stable on the night of July 5, 1810, which destroyed 43 fireplaces with all outbuildings within 1 hour. Of the 496 inhabitants, 280 lost their houses and farms.
With the introduction of sugar beet cultivation and the industrialization of sugar production in the Börde, an economic, social and cultural upswing followed in the 19th century. Streets were paved and newly laid out, and residential houses and industrial plants were built. Important employers were rural farms, the sugar factory and the domain. In addition to rural industry and agriculture, numerous craft businesses, small businesses and shops were established. In 1925/26 Groß Ammensleben had 1,584 inhabitants and at least 72 commercial and craft businesses. The construction of the eastern section of the Mittelland Canal in 1928–1938 brought further employment opportunities to the region. Many residents drove to work in nearby Magdeburg, the capital of the province of Saxony and the center of heavy industry.
The monastery was converted into a Benedictine monastery in 1129 , which existed until 1804. In that year the monastery was abolished and converted to a royal domain office . The Lüneburg Heerstraße once ran through the town , a trade route that has existed since the Middle Ages, and led via Vahldorf , Calvörde and Braunschweig to Lüneburg .
After the Second World War , land reform also took place in Groß Ammensleben , which fundamentally changed conventional land ownership. In 1955 several new farms were completed and the collectivization of agriculture was carried out. To remedy the housing shortage and to improve the housing situation, new building blocks typical of the GDR were built, of which the first was occupied in 1965.
From September 1, 1992, Groß Ammensleben was part of the Niedere Börde administrative community . On January 1, 2004, the community of Niedere Börde was formed from the administrative community of Niedere Börde. Due to the voluntary amalgamation of the member communities of the former Niedere Börde administrative community, Groß Ammensleben lost its political independence, but remained the administrative seat of the unified community.

The “Romanesque Road” and the “European Cultural Route” lead through Groß Ammensleben. The most important sight is the former Benedictine monastery Groß Ammensleben .
Theodoric II. (Dietrich) von Ammensleben and his wife Amulrada, a niece of Pope Clemens II, founded a church on their property in 1110. In 1120, an Augustinian canon monastery emerged from this own church , which Honorius II took under papal protection in 1124.
In 1127 the monastery came to the Magdeburg diocese , and a short time later it was converted into a Benedictine monastery. The previous canons moved to Saxony.
The first monks came from the Berge monastery in Magdeburg. In 1140 it was elevated to the status of an abbey. In the beginning, the monastery was shaped by the Hirsau reform .
The Catholic institution once survived the Reformation . The monastery was not secularized until 1804 . Since then, the former monastery church of St. Peter and Paul has been the local Catholic parish church and belongs to the parish of St. Christophorus based in Haldensleben.
