history
Early history and the first settlement in the urban area
The earliest archaeological finds that indicate settlement are far outside of today's inner city area. In the neighboring Wendland , especially in the area around Lüchow , many Middle and Neolithic sites are known, some of which have been and are still being excavated. It can therefore be assumed that groups of hunters and gatherers have repeatedly visited the area around Salzwedel for at least 7,000 years.
After the last ice age, which ended around 14,000 years ago, there was a lake between Salzwedel and Wustrow in Wendland. People who temporarily settled on its banks left behind many flint tools, but also antler and bone tools. Some of these antler devices were found in the Jeetze.
Also from the middle and late Neolithic period (around 3600–2000 BC) only a few pieces come from the urban area. A late Bronze Age find of the old waterworks and a burial ground (around today's B71 ) indicate a permanent settlement of the nearby city area of Salzwedels since around 1000 BC. Chr. In the early Iron Age there was a cemetery around this area (from 700 BC) and a new cemetery called "Auf dem Höhe Felde" was built, which is very close by. At the end of the pre-Roman Iron Age from approx. 200 BC. New cemeteries were created on the Perver Windmühlenberg (south-east of Salzwedel) and on the former parade ground near Kricheldorf (south of Salzwedel). From the late Roman Empire and the Great Migration (180–500 AD) there are only very few individual finds.
Middle Ages and the Salzwedel Castle as the beginning of urban development
Since the year 800 a settlement has been assumed on the site of today's town in the vicinity of Salzwedel Castle . The old name Soltwidele refers to a ford through the Jeetze on the old salt road . The castle near Salzwedel was first mentioned in a document in 1112. Salzwedel leads the founding of the city to the margrave brothers Johann I and Otto III. back who lived temporarily at Salzwedel Castle; the first name as a city dates from the year 1233. From 1247, the new city emerged immediately northeast of the old town as a planned foundation and independent city. Both cities were within the city wall. It was not until 1713 that the old town and new town were combined. From 1263 to 1518 Salzwedel was a member of the Hanseatic League , so that extensive trade was carried out. Grain, hides, cloths and beer reached Gotland and Russia from the Hanseatic city . Mainly spices, herrings and also tin and copper vessels were shipped into the city via the Jeetze. Due to the high quality fabrics, Salzwedel was known far beyond the borders of the region as a “cloth maker workshop”. Street names such as Schmiede-, Wollweber- or Radestrasse and the paved coats of arms of the respective crafts testify to the former tradition in Salzwedel to this day.
In the Polabian ("Wendish") language of the area, which died out in the 18th century , Salzwedel was called Ljosdit (Lôsdît, Lósdy) , possibly derived from ljos ( Slavic lěsă , "forest").
Reformation and early modern times
The Reformation took hold in Salzwedel in 1541. The Thirty Years War brought the city to the brink of ruin without being besieged. The reason for this was the billeting of foreign troops. Including the mercenary Peter Hagendorf in winter camp from December 1627 to February 1628.
From the 16th century, Salzwedel belonged to the Salzwedelic Circle .
From 1800 until today
In 1816, Salzwedel became the seat of the Salzwedel district in the Prussian province of Saxony . In 1870 the city received a railway connection. As a result, the jets' shipping lost its importance. As a result, further rail lines were added.
After the First World War , Hoyersburg emerged as a district of Salzwedel. The settlement was founded primarily to settle Germans from Russia who mainly worked as forest workers for the city.
During the Second World War , a camp for forced laborers was set up on the site of a fertilizer factory in Gardelegener Strasse from 1942 , which was operated from the end of July 1944 to April 14, 1945 as the Salzwedel satellite camp , a women's camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp . Initially 400 and later up to 1,500 mostly Jewish prisoners of different nationalities had to do heavy labor in two twelve-hour shifts in ammunition production for the Salzwedel wire and metal factory , a subsidiary of Magdeburg's Polte-Werke . At the end of the Second World War, more and more women from other concentration camps were transported to the Salzwedel camp in front of the advancing Allies, and on April 14, 1945 the 9th US Army liberated 3,000 prisoners there.
The air raid carried out as part of Operation Clarion on February 22, 1945 destroyed the station area and killed around 300 people. However, the old town was largely preserved, as the targets of the attack were the railway lines and industrial buildings. However, during the GDR era, numerous old houses fell into disrepair.
From 1946 to 1950 Salzwedel was an independent city . In 1952 it was assigned to the newly founded Magdeburg district .
In the GDR, the city was the location of the helicopter squadron 16 of the air forces of the border troops of the GDR from April 1971 to April 1986 , then a branch of the Nordhausen site, most recently with Mil Mi-2 and Mil Mi-8 helicopters . Due to the location close to the border, many houses have been abandoned since the fall of the Wall in 1989, so that in 2007 an action was started to offer houses and land cheaply.
Since April 1, 2008 the city has had the addition of the Hanseatic City to its name .

City administration
On March 9, 2008, Sabine Danicke was elected mayor of the Hanseatic city of Salzwedel. Due to the incorporation of Steinitz and Wieblitz-Eversdorf on January 1, 2011, the population of Salzwedel rose to over 25,000, so that Danicke was henceforth mayor.
In the mayoral election in 2015, Sabine Blümel won by just three votes. Due to the tight election result, however, Danicke appealed. On July 10, 2015, Danicke gave up her position to the Deputy Mayor Andreas Vogel, pending a decision by the Magdeburg Administrative Court . The 9th Chamber of the Magdeburg Administrative Court, chaired by administrative judge Uwe Haack, decided on December 15, 2015 that the mayoral election was valid. However, two votes were declared invalid, so that Sabine Blümel had won the runoff election on March 8, 2015 with just one vote. After a year of administrative disputes, the new mayor of Salzwedel, Sabine Blümel, was sworn in by the city council on March 16, 2016 and took up office one day later.
coat of arms
Blazon : “Split in silver; in front a half red eagle with gold reinforcement and breast clasp, next to it a raised red key with a beard turned back; in the back a red eagle with gold reinforcement and breast braces, in the claws two lying red keys in pegs, over the wings two steel-colored bucket helmets with black gold-decorated flight, in the crook of the neck a hexagonal gold star. "
Before 1713, the old and new towns of Salzwedel were two separate towns with their own coats of arms. The history of the coat of arms can be traced in the development of the seal images of both cities. Originally the old town carried a whole eagle with a key lying in its claws. The old town coat of arms emblazoned above did not develop until later in the course of the Middle Ages. After the unification of the old town and new town, both coats of arms were placed side by side in a shield. The old town carried the half Brandenburg eagle with the key upright, the new town the whole Brandenburg eagle with two lying keys, two helmets and a star.

In 1958, during the GDR era , the company was expropriated. The owner was sentenced to two years in prison at the age of 72.
