history

Uenglinger Tor

Middle Ages to the 20th century

Archaeologists have discovered a wooden box fountain in Rathenower Straße , which dates to the year 889 and indicates a suburban settlement.

A document allegedly issued by Emperor Heinrich II in 1022, in which the village of Steinedal appears among the possessions of the Michaeliskloster in Hildesheim , is a forgery from the 12th century. The original document from Heinrich II. (No. 479) does not contain this place name. The Brandenburg Margrave Albrecht the Bear founded a market in his village of Stendale around 1160 and granted the town Magdeburg rights . Excavations have confirmed that the construction on land in the area of ​​the market south of the "Old Village" in Stendal began around 1160.

In the 12th and 13th centuries there was an approximately 60-meter-long brick department store on the market square , which is considered the oldest department store and one of the largest and most important north of the Alps.

The parish of St. Jacobi was founded in the 12th century . The construction of a Franciscan monastery at Mönchskirchhof began in 1230. In the 13th century the Stendal Seafarers' Guild was formed, which traded with its own ships in the Baltic and North Sea region. The oldest written mention of the merchant church of St. Marien comes from the year 1283. Around 1300 Stendal received city walls, at the same time the Tangermünder Tor was built. The field stone substructure is still preserved today as the foundation of a newer gate structure. In 1338 a Latin school was built on Brüderstraße, which later became a grammar school, whose famous pupil in the 18th century was the later archaeologist Johann Joachim Winckelmann . He attended high school from 1726 to 1736.

There is evidence that Stendal belonged to the Hanseatic League from 1358 to 1518 . Alongside Brandenburg an der Havel , Stendal was the oldest mint in the Mark Brandenburg . In the margraviate of Brandenburg, several cities, including Stendal, paid the margrave a one-time settlement and were given the right to mint the so-called Eternal Penny .

In the 14th century, the refectory of the Franciscan monastery was built at Mönchskirchhof, which today houses the city ​​library . At the place where the Stendal Castle still stood in 1215, construction of the Stendal Cathedral began in 1423 . In 1440 the Uenglinger Tor was built. In the 15th century the town hall was built in various stages with a Gewandhaus, choir and side wing. The St. Catherine's Monastery (foundation of Elector Friedrich II for Augustinian women , today Altmärkisches Museum and Musikforum) was built in 1456. In 1462 the carved wall that is still preserved was completed in the town hall festival hall.

Stendal around 1640
City view from the 19th century

From 1488 Joachim Westfal, the first printer of the Mark Brandenburg, worked in Stendal. In the same year, the citizens of Stendal revolted against the beer tax . In 1502, the Brandenburg Elector Joachim I in Stendal married Elisabeth (1485–1555), the daughter of the Danish King Johann I. In 1518, Stendal left the Hanseatic League together with Berlin , Brandenburg, Frankfurt (Oder) and Salzwedel . The Stendaler Roland was erected in 1525. In 1539, through the Reformation, Lutheran teaching became an official religion in the Altmark. Luther's pupil and colleague Konrad Cordatus was the first Lutheran superintendent on site from 1540 . In 1535, 1540 and 1549 Achim von Zehmen , married to Margarete von Lüderitz, was named mayor of Stendal. In 1682 1,205 people (including 537 children) died of the plague in the city . From 1771 to 1830 the city fortifications were partially demolished, the turning tower, the gate tower, the Arneburg gate and the cattle gate were demolished.

The Magdeburg – Stendal – Wittenberge railway line was opened in 1849. At the same time as the Berlin-Lehrter Railway , the Stendal Central Station was opened in 1871, construction of which had begun in 1869. In 1873 the main railway workshop was built, which in 1881 was transferred to the Royal Prussian Railway Administration and after 1920 became the Stendal Reichsbahn repair shop (RAW Stendal). The Altmark Museum was founded in 1888. In 1906, in memory of the honorary citizen Friedrich Hermann Haacke, a fountain was built on the Sperlingsberg, which is popularly called "Sperlings-Ida". The Stendaler horse-drawn railway ceased operations in 1926 after 34 years.

In 1909 Stendal left the Stendal district and formed its own urban district. The city was reintegrated into the district in 1950.

First World War

On August 3, 1914, the first squadron of the hussars stationed in Stendal ( Magdeburg Hussar Regiment No. 10 ) entered the First World War . The first wounded, around 160 soldiers, arrived in the city's hospitals on September 8, 1914. In December 1916, more than 11,000 prisoners of war were housed in the team prisoner camp at the Stendal parade ground. In 1917 two bells from the cathedral and one bell from St. Mary's Church were dismantled and handed over to the "Metal Mobilization Office". In the course of the November Revolution, on November 8, 1918, a “ workers and soldiers council ” took over police power in Stendal. After the Compiègne armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, a scattered collection point was set up in the hussar barracks. In addition, the prisoner of war camp was almost completely cleared by January 1, 1919 and converted into a transit camp for released German prisoners of war.

Second World War

During the Second World War , the city ​​came increasingly into the focus of Allied bombing attacks , mainly because of the armed forces stationed there . There were frequent aerial battles over Stendal, in which Allied bombers also crashed over the city or nearby. Stendal and the fighter squadrons stationed there at the Stendal-Borstel air base (including Jagdgeschwader 301 "Wilde Sau" ) were directly in the flight path of the bomber groups that had been assigned to Berlin as a target. In the spring of 1945 300 people were killed in a bomb attack on the Röxe district. The main train station was also hit. On April 8 of that year, bombs hit St. Nicholas Cathedral , which was partially destroyed: especially the cloister, frescoes, tracery and lattice friezes. The medieval glass windows had previously been relocated and were thus saved. In April 1945 one of the most controversial companies of the final phase of the Second World War, the Elbe Special Command , started from the Stendal-Borstel airfield .

On April 13th, Mayor Karl Wernecke , who was a member of the NSDAP , handed the city over to the American armed forces. Thereupon Joseph Goebbels called Stendal "because of cowardly handover" as "dishonorable". On May 4, 1945, the German 12th Army ( Wenck Army ) surrendered under General Maximilian von Edelsheim in the Stendal town hall. British troops took over the administration in Stendal on June 12, but were replaced by the Soviet Army on July 1. The Red Army brought the former mayor Wernecke to the Sachsenhausen special camp , where he died in December 1945. As a result of the flow of refugees, Stendal accommodated around 65,000 residents on June 16, 1945; at the beginning of the war there were only around 34,000 inhabitants.

German Democratic Republic

Stendal, 3rd Workers' Festival, premiere of the Chronicle of Roland von Stendal

In the GDR , Stendal was the most important industrial location in the north of the Magdeburg district , including the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk (RAW) Stendal, the VEB Dauermilchwerk Stendal , the steel furniture and warming equipment factory (STIMA) Stendal and the VEB Geological Exploration / VEB Geological Research and Exploration Stendal. Stendal was also the seat of the District Veterinary Institute (BIV) Stendal, which emerged from the Animal Health Office (TGA) and the District Veterinary Clinic and was converted into the State Veterinary and Food Inspection Office after 1990.

In 1974, construction of the Stendal nuclear power plant began north of Stendal , but it never went into operation and was canceled after reunification.

Federal Republic of Germany

On September 27, 2009, the results of the public hearing on renaming the city were published. 78% of the residents voted for the designation "Hanseatic City of Stendal". The name change came into effect on January 1, 2010.

Stendal as a garrison town

In 1640 Stendal became a garrison town for the first time . As a result, an old Prussian regiment founded in 1715 was stationed in Stendal on foot until 1806. From 1860 Stendal was again the location of troops, including from 1884 location of the Magdeburg Hussar Regiment No. 10 , which was dissolved in 1919. In its tradition, from 1919, the 3rd regiment of cavalry in the city, which withdrew in 1937. In 1936, the first German paratrooper troop was founded at the Stendal-Borstel airfield , of which Max Schmeling was temporarily a member. In addition, an infantry regiment (no. 93) and several fighter squadrons were the Air Force in the city.

Until the fall of the Berlin Wall , Stendal was the seat of the border command north of the GDR border troops and also the location of the 207th Motorized Rifle Division (MotSchtzDiv) of the group of Soviet armed forces in Germany .

At the end of 1994, the last Russian troops withdrew, which ended Stendal's time as a garrison town.

Population development

Stendal city lake
Population pyramid for Stendal (data source: 2011 census)

The population development began to decline during the First World War. However, the city quickly recovered from this and reached almost 36,000 inhabitants shortly before the outbreak of World War II. After the Second World War, it grew to over 40,000 inhabitants for the first time due to the immigration of displaced persons from the former German eastern territories. In the period from 1950 to 1964, the city lost over 4,600 inhabitants and in 1964 its population fell to the pre-war level. With 37,496 inhabitants, Stendal reached an all-time low in the post-war period in 1964.

From 1965 onwards, the city grew steadily , mainly due to the construction of the large settlements Stadtsee and Stendal Süd, and on December 31, 1989, it reached its all-time high with 51,461 inhabitants. Since 1990, the city's population has declined sharply due to emigration and excess death rates, and by mid-2007 it fell back to around the level of 1964. The resulting vacancy rate has been counteracted since 2000 by demolishing , dismantling and accompanying renovation of the prefabricated housing estates. By resolution of the city council, with the area-based integrated action / urban development concept (SEK) adopted on February 18, 2002, the complete demolition of an entire residential area ( Stendal-Süd ) was initiated for the first time in Saxony-Anhalt . The city's two major landlords - the Stendaler housing association and the Altmark housing association - demolished around 6,000 apartments between 2000 and 2013. With its infrastructure, Stendal is preparing for a population of 35,000. Since 2014 there has been a slight stabilization of the population development. Due to the regional reform of Saxony-Anhalt in 2009-2011, Stendal became a unitary municipality on January 1, 2010 . The incorporation of ten municipalities that took place on this day increased the population from 35,900 to 40,974 (figures from December 31, 2008).

City council

The city council of the Hanseatic city of Stendal has 40 members. After the local elections on May 26, 2019, the distribution of seats was as follows:

CDU left AfD SPD Free councilors Citizens for Stendal Green FDP Single weight
8th 7th 7th 6th 4th 3 2 1 2

In 2015 it was decided to repeat the postal vote due to inadmissibly issued mass powers of attorney for postal votes to the city council.

Due to changes in the law, the number of members of the city council had increased by 13 delegates from the 13 localities that were recently incorporated to 53 by the 2014 local elections. The Lord Mayor is also a voting member of the City Council.

Lord Mayor

The Lord Mayor of the Hanseatic City of Stendal is Klaus Schmotz . He ran for the office of Lord Mayor for the first time in 2001 and was elected with 74.9% of the vote. He was confirmed in office in 2008 and 2015.

Shortly before the election, Schmotz was criticized for his vita in GDR times. During the time of the GDR he was at the Ministry of National Defense as chief officer for financial economics in the staff of the border command north, responsible for the “financial security of all military tasks ordered”, including the maintenance of self-firing systems.

coat of arms

  • Coat of arms, GDR period

  • Current coat of arms

Town hall gable

The coat of arms was approved on July 10, 1995 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.

Blazon : “Split in silver; at the front of the gap a red, gold-armored eagle, behind four (1: 2: 1) diamond-shaped green stones. "

The colors of the city are red - silver (white).

The oldest town seal of Stendal, traceable as early as 1263, shows a tinned round town wall with an open gate, surmounted by six towers, above which the Brandenburg red eagle . The secret seal of the council from the 14th century shows only the eagle, holding a diamond-shaped body in each claw. The current coat of arms appears mostly since the 16th century, first in the early 15th century on the Stendal Brakteaten that under the first Hohenzollern I. Friedrich issued. There is no clarity about the meaning of the four diamonds, which were once referred to as stones, then as grains of barley and finally as emeralds .

Town twinning

Stendal is related to:

Stendal southern bypass

In jurisprudence, the place became known through the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court in the Stendal southern bypass case . Due to the expansion of traffic as part of German reunification , the municipality had to build an ICE route. Since the municipality resisted this and against measures to expropriate its land, which would have led to considerable delays, a federal law was passed which should now accelerate the construction of the ICE line and also make expropriations possible. The extraordinary thing here was that a law was passed that did not set up general rules as usual, but was specially tailored to the specific situation. Due to the important arguments regarding the necessary structural measures in the context of reunification, the law was considered to be constitutional and is now a fundamental part of legal training in the Investment Measures Act as the southern bypass of Stendal .

Stendal as a pseudonym

The French writer Marie-Henri Beyle (1783–1842) had been using the pseudonym Stendhal since 1817 to express his admiration for Johann Joachim Winckelmann, who was born in Stendal. The town twinning with Grenoble reflects this fact, because Marie-Henri Beyle was born there.
