Hämerten is a district of the city of Tangermünde in the Stendal district in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany).

geography

The village of Hämerten is located on the left bank of the Elbe , only a few kilometers from the cities of Stendal and Tangermünde.

history

Around 1160 the place appears in a deed of ownership of the Helmstedt St. Liudger monastery as Hamerten . Possibly it is one of the Dutch foundings under Albrecht the Bear - a place called Hamerten existed at the time between the Waal and Maas . The name means "slope".

Until 1238 the place belonged to the Counts of Osterburg, from 1375 to 1587 the Ritterhof in Hämerten was owned by the von Buchholz family, then fell to the council of the city of Stendal, as did two later found Ritterhöfe of the von Buchholz in 1657. Since 1448 The von Itzenplitz on Jerchel also owned half of the village. This family and the Stendal Council retained the right of patronage.

The Elbe dike near Hämerten was and is of great importance; it protects the town of Stendal and the entire Uchten lowland during floods . When this could not withstand the water masses of the Elbe in 1425, Stendal was also flooded. A fish in Stendal's Marienkirche is evidence of this . The burdens of dike maintenance and dyke rehabilitation were therefore distributed across all endangered localities. Already in 1695 there was a dike regulation in the Altmark.

When the Danes camped near Tangermünde during the Thirty Years' War , Hämerten is said to have been thoroughly plundered by them.

In 1828 and 1903 successful excavations took place on the La Tene grave field on the Hermsberge north of Hämerten, not far from the exit between the Storkauer Weg and the slope to the Elbe.

Until December 31, 2009, Hämerten was an independent municipality and belonged to the now dissolved Tangermünde administrative community .

On June 9, 2009, the local council of the municipality of Hämerten decided that the municipality of Hämerten should be incorporated into the city of Tangermünde. This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on January 1, 2010.

After the previously independent municipality of Hämerten was incorporated, Hämerten became part of the city of Tangermünde. For the incorporated municipality, the local constitution was introduced according to §§ 86 ff. Of the municipality code of Saxony-Anhalt . The incorporated municipality of Hämerten and the future district of Hämerten became the locality of the receiving city of Tangermünde. A local council with nine members, including the local mayor, was formed in the incorporated municipality and now the village of Hämerten.

The village church in Hämerten is worth mentioning , the listed building is the oldest of its kind in the Altmark.

There is also a connection to regional trains in Hämerten station in the direction of Stendal and Rathenow .

The Elbe embankment road leads through Hämerten from Tangermünde to Arneburg . The federal highway 188 (Stendal – Rathenow) runs three kilometers to the south . Regular buses and on-call buses run by Regionalverkehrsbetriebe Westsachsen (RVW) under the brand name stendalbus .
