history

Until the end of the Thirty Years War, Hobeck was in the sphere of influence of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg . After its secularization , Brandenburg-Prussia exercised state rule. After the introduction of the new Prussian district order, the place was incorporated into the Jerichow I district in 1818 . When the GDR carried out a territorial reform in 1952, Hobeck came to the Loburg district . On June 20, 1957, the Loburg district was dissolved and Hobeck fell to the Zerbst district . This affiliation remained until June 30, 2007, before the change to the Jerichower Land district took place due to a referendum on the occasion of a district reform in the state of Saxony-Anhalt .

The agricultural community had only 90 inhabitants in 1910. In addition to the municipality of Hobeck, there was also the independent regional authority of the Hobeck estate , which had 64 inhabitants in the same year. The von Münchhausen aristocratic family had been landowners since the 18th century . This fact also corresponds to the fact that Hobeck had belonged to the Kalitz office since 1874 , where the Münchhausen family also owned a manor. In the course of a community reform in 1928, the manor districts of Hobeck, Göbel and Klepps were combined with the rural community of Hobeck. As a result, Hobeck had 503 inhabitants in 1933. As a result of the intensified agriculture in the GDR era and the creation of job-intensive companies in the neighboring cities of Loburg and Möckern, the population increased to 705 in 1964.

On January 1, 2009, the previously independent community of Hobeck was incorporated into Möckern. The districts Göbel and Klepps as well as the residential area Klepps Ziegelei belonged to the community.

The community colors were gold (yellow) - green.

The linden tree represented the old landmark of this village and was also a reference to the wooded area in which the place is located. On the one hand, the two ears of corn symbolized the two districts of Göbel and Klepps and, on the other hand, indicated the main line of business, agriculture.
