Further mentions are 1209 Grotinswachten , 1278 in Magno Sveden or in magno Suecten (Swechten) and 1343 in villa magna swochin . In the Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg from 1375 the village is listed as Grote Swechten . In 1687 it was called the Great Schwechten

The historian Peter P. Rohrlach describes the settlement form of the local situation for 1794 as "from south to north, in the village a spacious market square, several side streets, probably laid out to a town." Stadtanlage ".

In 2008 Lieselott Enders reported extensively on the history of Groß Schwechten. She wrote: "The ... village of Groß Schwechten, with its 60 hooves, was one of the largest in the Altmark." The publication mentions the names of many local families. The village register from the land register from 1375, the farm owners from 1518, farm owners and Hufen from 1541, 1686 and 1701 are listed.

To the east of the village was the Köhnshof establishment at the end of the 19th century.

The so-called " Krepe ", on the one hand a court in the Middle Ages, and on the other hand a former Niederungsburg in the middle of the oak forest on the Uchte, connects with Groß Schwechten . Today there are still a castle hill and a castle wall. The castle hill "Krepe" was already a ground monument in 1978. The legend of the golden cradle in the Krepe castle hill is well known . In 2014, excavations on the Krepe were reported. The researchers assume to have found the remains of an Ascanian castle.

Origin of the place name

prehistory

Hoard of Groß Schwechten

The hoard found by Groß Schwechten , discovered in 1861, dates from the early Bronze Age . It is exhibited in the Johann Friedrich Danneil Museum in Salzwedel.

First mentioned in 1150

For the first documentary mention of 1150 as grotinswachten in the district of Groß Schwechten on the homepage of the city of Stendal as grotinswachten , no evidence was given there.

The historian Lieselott Enders wrote in 2008: “Indications for the expansion of the village in the first half of the 12th century are not least provided by the dendrochronological data of the Romanesque stone church”.

Incorporations

On October 1, 1973, the communities of Peulingen and Neuendorf am Speck from the Stendal district were incorporated into the community of Groß Schwechten. Until December 31, 2009, Groß Schwechten was an independent municipality with the associated districts of Neuendorf am Speck and Peulingen.

By means of an area change agreement, the municipality council of the municipality of Groß Schwechten decided on May 19, 2009 that the municipality of Groß Schwechten should be incorporated into the city of Stendal. This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on January 1, 2010. After the incorporation of the previously independent community of Groß Schwechten, Groß Schwechten, Neuendorf am Speck and Peulingen became districts of the city of Stendal. For the incorporated municipality, the local constitution was introduced according to §§ 86 ff. Of the municipality code of Saxony-Anhalt . A local council with seven members including the local mayor was formed in the incorporated municipality and now Groß Schwechten.

Blazon : "In green a slanting golden cradle, separated from the top right by a golden ring with a silver stone, lower left by a slanting golden oak leaf."

It is the decision of the community of Groß Schwechten to symbolically include the tradition of the crepe in the local coat of arms. The cradle and the ring tie in with the legend mentioned above; the oak leaf refers to the oak stock, which helped that the houses were built with oak half-timbered houses in the past.

The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch .

The colors of Groß Schwechten are yellow and green.

Culture and sights

  • The Protestant village church Groß Schwechten is a field stone building from the 12th century. A dendrochronological examination of the oak door lintel revealed a felling date around 1136. A ceiling beam in the east of the choir dates from 1127. The church was completely overhauled in 1996. In the same year, thieves got into the church and stole the altar crucifix.
  • The local cemetery is in the churchyard.
  • The reed pond Groß Schwechten in the west of the village has been a natural monument since 1989.

traffic

The federal road 189 runs as a bypass road to the west of the Stendal district of Groß Schwechten.

Regular buses and on-call buses run by Regionalverkehrsbetriebe Westsachsen (RVW) under the brand name stendalbus . The nearest train station on the Magdeburg – Wittenberge line is in the nearby community of Goldbeck .

Peulingen station

In Peulingen there was a Stendaler Kleinbahn station from 1908 to 1985 on the line from Stendal to Arendsee. Originally, the station facility consisted of a platform on Dorfstrasse and a loading track with a loading road to the southeast of it. With the construction of the Peulingen – Bismark railway line in 1916, a wedge station was created in Peulingen. The platform was relocated to the triangle between the two lines south of the loading road. The reception building, which is now used as a residential building, was located there.

In the course of the expansion, the track systems were significantly expanded. Three more tracks were built south of the loading road, one of which was soon dismantled. Since then, Peulingen has been a separation station. With the closure and dismantling of the line to Bismark Anschuß station , which was renamed Hohenwulsch, Peulingen became a through station again. Passenger traffic ended on May 26, 1979. After the cessation of freight traffic in 1985, the railway facilities were dismantled. Today only the remnants of the subgrade can be seen, there are isolated remains of sleepers and gravel.
