The districts of Kanalsiedlung and Waldschänke belong to Hohenwarthe .
geology
The landscape of the village of Hohenwarthe was shaped by the last two ice ages, the Saale Ice Age approx. 230,000 to 130,000 years ago and the Vistula Ice Age approx. 115,000 to 10,000 years ago. During the ice ages, there were major climatic fluctuations in which the ice, coming from the north, pushed forward and melted again in warmer periods. The vineyard is 75.5 m above sea level. NHN a terminal moraine of the Warthestadium (approx. 130,000 years ago) of the Saale Ice Age. It consists of meltwater sands and marl boulder, which were deposited when the ice masses melted on the glacier front during the main ice edge layers. The vineyard offers a good view of the Elbaue, which is about 35 m lower, which was created in the course of the Wroclaw-Magdeburg glacial valley. The vineyard is registered as a nature reserve and as a geotope of the state of Saxony-Anhalt.
history
Today's Hohenwarther region was inhabited by people as early as the Neolithic Age (around 2500 BC). The German-derived place name Hohen - Warte, which refers to the high location on the Elbe, indicates a Germanic place founded in the 12th century. When the Archbishop of Magdeburg, Albrecht, acquired what was then called Honwarde from a Friedrich von Honwarde for the Dominican order in 1225 , the village was first mentioned in a document. It became a monastery that farmed sheep. At this time, the monks are said to have also grown wine, hence the nearby vineyard gets its name. Magdeburg Premonstratensian Canons began building a church around 1250. It was later subordinated to the parish Glindenberg as a branch. In 1300, after a strong flood, the Elbe moved its bed near Hohenwarthe further east, so that the village's own meadows were then on the west bank. Archbishop Burchard III built around 1310. near Hohenwarthe a customs post for Magdeburg goods, which was soon destroyed by the city. In 1539 Hohenwarthe suffered from the plague . Moritz (Saxony) besieged the city of Magdeburg during the Schmalkaldic War in 1551. On March 6th, 1551 around 100 Magdeburg farmhands and fishermen who drove with 13 barges down the Elbe from Neustadt attacked the village of Hohenwarthe, which was occupied by Saxon troops. After a battle, the village was sacked and the Magdeburg soldiers returned to the city with the 10th prisoner servants. To protect against the Elbe floods, the construction of a dike up to Havelberg was started from Hohenwarthe in 1609 . During the Thirty Years' War , the village had to accept the billeting of a command of the Tilly Army in May 1629 , which was supposed to seal off Magdeburg from the north. In 1631 Tilly Hohenwarthe was pillaged. With the conversion of the archbishopric into the duchy of Magdeburg in 1680 Hohenwarthe came under Brandenburg-Prussian rule, it was subordinated to the Wolmirstedt office. In 1669 the village fell victim to another fire, which only the church withstood. Around 1700, the municipality was the first to put an Elbe ferry into operation. The Magdeburg fortress builder Gerhard Cornelius von Walrave had a stately castle with the name "Liliput" built as a summer residence on the vineyard around 1715. Five cannons from the Thirty Years' War were placed in front of the castle. After Walrave was sentenced to imprisonment for extensive embezzlement, the castle inventory was confiscated and auctioned. The castle was no longer used and it fell into disrepair. In 1794 the parish connection with Glindenberg was canceled and Hohenwarthe was connected with Lostau .
With the Prussian administrative reform of 1815, the place, which now had 173 inhabitants, was also politically reassigned, it was subordinated to the new Jerichow I district with the district town of Burg. The Magdeburg – Potsdam railway line opened in 1846 initially touched Hohenwarthe as well. However, as the route was relocated further east in 1873 due to the constant risk of flooding, the town lost its rail connection again. At the beginning of the 20th century, the road conditions improved, first in 1905 with the construction of the Chaussee to Körbelitz , with which a connection to the Magdeburg – Potsdam highway was established, and later with the construction of the road to Burg via Niegripp , which was completed in 1909 . By the beginning of the First World War , the number of inhabitants had increased to over 600. The war claimed the lives of 33 Hohenwarther soldiers, for whom a memorial was erected in 1920. In 1927 a bus connection to Magdeburg was established for the first time, which was later followed by one to the district town of Burg. The construction work for the Mittelland Canal reached Hohenwarthe in 1928, during which a bridge overpass for the road to Niegripp was built in the village. A lighthouse was set up on the vineyard in 1935 as a point of reference for the emerging air traffic. On January 10, 1937, south of Hohenwarthe, the motorway bridge spanning the Elbe was opened to traffic on the Magdeburg – Berlin route. In 1939 Hohenwarthe had 1,056 inhabitants. Due to the Second World War , work on the Mittelland Canal was stopped in 1942. The Elbe overpass and the canal bed north of Hohenwarthe as well as the already half-completed double-ship lift remained unfinished.
In April 1945 the motorway bridge was blown up by the German Wehrmacht . A wooden bridge built by the Americans after the end of the war served as a replacement for several years. A permanent bridge was not built again until 1952, although it could only be used in one lane. In the same year the GDR government carried out a territorial reorganization, as a result of which Hohenwarthe was incorporated into the Burg district. In the course of the collectivization of agriculture, twenty farms and farm workers founded an agricultural production cooperative (LPG) on October 25, 1952. Between 1958 and 1968, the population fell from 1,098 to 1,057. In addition to the LPG, eight craft businesses were still active in the village, including three tailors, a baker, a shoemaker and a wheelwright. Ferry traffic over the Elbe was discontinued in 1969 after 250 years. In 1974 a department store was opened in Hohenwarthe, in 1976 the LPG in Hohenwarthe and Lostau merged to form the LPG "Karl Marx", which specialized in cattle breeding. The Hohenwarther School was closed in 1979, the new school location was Niegripp in the future. In the 1980s, a central water supply was set up to which almost all households could be connected. In 1984 the construction of 43 homes began on his own initiative.
The years after the political turning point of 1989 brought major changes for Hohenwarthe. With the development of the Eulenbruch residential area, which began in 1993, the number of inhabitants rose to over 1,400. On December 11, 1997, the Hohenwarther motorway bridge, which was expanded to six lanes, was put into operation; in 2003 the trough bridge and the canal bed of the Mittelland Canal leading to the east were completed. In 2004 and 2006, two more new residential construction areas were made available: “Hoppegang” and “Schulplatz”.
Hohenwarthe was part of the Biederitz-Möser administrative association from 2005 to 2009 . Hohenwarthe was an independent municipality until December 31, 2009. The last mayor of Hohenwarthe was Peter Bergmann. On January 1, 2010 Hohenwarthe was incorporated into the municipality of Möser.
coat of arms
The local coat of arms was designed by the Heraldic Society "Black Lion" in Leipzig. The two crossed fish come from a land reform mark, which can probably be traced back to the old seal of the community. The tinging took place on the basis of belonging to the former Archdiocese of Magdeburg and later Duchy. The fish symbolize river fishing that was once practiced. The coat of arms was approved on November 16, 1992 by the Ministry of the Interior of Saxony-Anhalt, which documented the following blazon : “Divided by red over silver; topped with two fish in mixed up tinctures placed in St. Andrew's cross. "

It was made of quarry stones in the late Romanesque built style and consists of the nave, a slightly narrower chancel and a semicircular apse . The former north portal was later walled up, the windows were given baroque shapes during renovation work in 1658 . The west gable underwent a striking redesign around 1880 with an open bell arcade and octagonal helmet. The inside of the nave is closed with a flat ceiling, which is decorated with stencil paintings. The nave and the chancel are separated by a so-called round triumphal arch. On the west and north sides of the church there are galleries that, like most of the inventory, were made around 1700.
