history

Harsdorf was first mentioned in a document as Hartaratesdorf in 900 as the property of the Corvey Monastery . On September 21, 937 Otto I transferred the village to the newly founded Moritzkloster .
The monks later moved to the Berge monastery , which owned the village. Otto I's donations were confirmed in 973 by his son Otto II . In 1145 the monastery was owned by Pope Lucius II and in 1209 by Pope Innocent III. approved. In 1280 the Harsdorf church was mentioned. Parts of the village became the property of the Cistercian monastery "ad sanctum Agnetem" .

In 1314 there was a dispute between the city of Magdeburg and Archbishop Burchard , who then besieged Magdeburg together with his allies and fortified the Harsdorf Church. The conflict was settled through a settlement between the parties, which Margrave Waldemar von Brandenburg founded.

After the Reformation was introduced , the city of Magdeburg refused to recognize the Augsburg Interim in 1548. Therefore, Georg zu Mecklenburg, with the support of Emperor Karl V, moved against Magdeburg. After a severe defeat by the Magdeburg troops near Hillersleben, the city was besieged from September 1550 to November 1551. On November 17, 1550, the troops relocated their camp from Fermersleben to Diesdorf, where they built a hill in front of Harsdorf .
In 1564 there were still two farms in Magdeburg. When the neighboring Diesdorf was occupied by 1,900 soldiers from Tilly's troops in the Thirty Years' War in 1630/1631 , Harsdorf was again fortified on the battle line. By the end of the war, Diesdorf was destroyed except for the church. It is believed that Harsdorf also went under at this time. In 1638 the place is called desolate according to the land register.

Together with the areas of the former villages Schrotdorf and Rottersdorf , the later Magdeburg district of Wilhelmstadt, later Stadtfeld, emerged from the area of ​​Harsdorf, which in 1991 was divided into Stadtfeld East and West .
