City of Großalsleben , until 2015 Großalsleben , is a former small town that has belonged to Gröningen as a district since January 1, 2001 . Großalsleben is located in the Börde district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt . Until 1945 it was an exclave of the Free State of Anhalt in Prussia. Prov. Saxony.
geography
The place lies between the state capital Magdeburg and the Harz . The nearest towns are Gröningen (5 km), Oschersleben (Bode) (5 km) and Halberstadt (18 km).
structure
City of Großalsleben is divided into an upper and a lower town, which show a difference in altitude of 10 to 15 m. This difference in height is caused by the steep bank of a historical arm of the Bode , which flowed at this point until the 10th century. Street names such as waterway still bear witness to this today.
history
The first traces of settlement of the location can be found from around 3000 BC. In the 3rd to 6th centuries, the Warnen founded a fortified settlement for the first time on the site of today's location. In a document from 961, King Otto I confirms a donation from Margrave Gero to the Gernrode monastery - this is where it is first mentioned as Groß Alsleben . In addition to Groß Alsleben ( Alslevu ) and Klein Alsleben ( Nian-Alslevu ), Egeln , Gröningen , Frose and Nienburg were also mentioned. This began the rule of the Gernrode monastery over the place. 1227 confirmed Pope Gregory IX. the possessions of the Gernrode monastery in a letter of protection. The provostess (deputy abbess) receives the income from Groß Alsleben. The first windmill in Großalsleben is mentioned in 1311. In 1353 a bailiff was mentioned by name for the first time (Friedrich Bode von Eisleben). For his services he received a hoof of land and a meadow for life, in 1358 still a piece of land in Klein Alsleben. Around 1350 the Gernrode monastery was converted into a noble women's monastery. The neighboring feudal lords usurped the monastery bit by bit. The Counts of Anhalt are chosen to be patrons of the monastery. In 1390 a dispute over the property of Groß Alsleben and Klein Alsleben, which had been going on since 1378, ends with the intervention of the papal court. The Archbishop of Magdeburg has to pay compensation to the Gernrode Abbey. In 1418 the abbess of Gernröder ordered the fortification of the place by means of a moat and zingel (wall with palisades). The community jug is mentioned for the first time. In 1483 the documents speak for the first time of a gate, the cattle gate. The Oeselpforte, the Stuben- and the Klaustor (Klausstraße reminds us of this today) are mentioned later.
Although Groß Alsleben was still a village in 1560, documents mention a town hall that year . At this time the place already had a stain constitution and there is a master farmer and 2 jurors. A school in Großalsleben is mentioned for the first time in 1563.
In 1610 the princes of Anhalt appropriated the possession of the Gernrode monastery through secularization . This began the Anhalt rule over Groß Alsleben and the associated villages.
On July 1, 2014, the new municipal constitutional law of the state of Saxony-Anhalt came into force. In its §14 (2) the municipalities are given the opportunity to assign this designation to the districts that were towns before the incorporation. The city of Gröningen has made use of this regulation. Their new main statutes came into force on March 17, 2015. In § 1 Großalsleben is no longer listed as an integrated municipality, but as a city. In §15 (5) the district is referred to as the city of Großalsleben.
politics
coat of arms
The coat of arms was January 10, 1995 by the Regional Council approved Magdeburg.
Blazon : “In silver, Saint Peter growing out of a red shield with a gold halo in a silver robe and blue cloak, holding a gold key in his right hand and a red book in his left; the shield is covered with a slanted golden key with a downward-facing beard and a round key. "
According to tradition, Großalsleben had had a coat of arms since June 11, 1760. It shows the patron saint of the older church in the area, Saint Peter, with a key and a book. This image can also be found on the oldest church bell from 1463. There is also evidence of an older seal of the place in which the image described appears.
The use of the images of patron saints of the churches in the coats of arms of the places can be historically proven frequently. In most cases, the coat of arms was preceded by the seal, because in many German areas there was an obligation to seal important documents. The graphics of the engraved seal did not always correspond to the rules of Christian iconography, which precisely specified the appearance, posture, clothing, gestures, etc. of people or figures from religion or mythology. In addition, it often happened that coats of arms were changed when the rulers changed and that they were adapted to a prevailing political opinion combined with the taste of the zeitgeist. Such a change has also taken place in the local coat of arms of Großalsleben: The version of Peter growing out of a red shield, holding the key of Peter and the Gospel, was changed under persistent ownership; The book was taken from Peter and a victory wreath was placed in hand and shield. The shield in the escutcheon was divided diagonally green and silver.
The community colors are blue-silver (white).
The redesign of the common law coat of arms was carried out by the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch .
In the present coat of arms design, reference was made to the earliest traditional description of the coat of arms and this was visualized in a heraldically correct manner and in accordance with the iconography.
