geography

The village of Jütrichau is about six kilometers north of the Elbe , between the cities of Zerbst and Roßlau . The area around Jütrichau gradually slopes down from east to west towards the Elbe. The Jütrichauer Busch to the north of the village is under nature protection .

history

The place, originally settled by Slavs , appears for the first time in 1214 as Juterchoow in a certificate of confirmation from the Zerbst nunnery. The former Jütrichau church (demolished in 1890 because of dilapidation and replaced by a new church in neo-Gothic style) was a daughter of the Wertlau church.

In the middle of the 16th century, the residents' labor also included high taxes in kind to the rulers and the Zerbst monastery.

During the Thirty Years' War , Jütrichau was also ravaged by destruction, robbery and plague ( battle in 1626 at the Roßlauer Elbbrücke and siege of the nearby town of Zerbst).

In 1807 the Zerbst – Jütrichau – Roßlau road was paved (straightened in 1934 - today's federal road 184 ). With the construction of the Zerbst – Roßlau railway line (1863), a number of industrial companies settled in the vicinity of the Jütrichau train station: starch and potato flake factory, brickworks, straw rope factory, chaff cutting, carpentry, wheelwright and, after the brickworks closed, a Dachstein factory.

In 1896 a new school was built in Jütrichau, and the local volunteer fire department was founded a year later.

In the two world wars, the community had 6 and 22 dead.

In 1941–1945 there were barracks near Jütrichau to house the Junkers factories' planning office as a security measure in view of the bombing raids on the main Dessau plant. The Americans occupied the community in April 1945 and were replaced by Soviet troops a short time later.

Today in Jütrichau there are not only agriculture but also some small craft and service businesses (hardware store, two-wheeler dealer, Nordfrost cold store).

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on November 26, 1999 by the Dessau Regional Council and registered in the Magdeburg State Archives under the coat of arms roll number 36/1999.

Blazon : “In the blue shield with a silver flank on the right, a silver St. Andrew's cross, topped with a five-petalled (2: 3) red rose with gold sepals and a gold lug; in the flank a fallen blue scythe iron with the cutting edge turned to the left. "

The community colors are blue - silver (white).

The fallen scythe leaf in the right flank symbolizes agriculture as the main income of the community. The main motif - St. Andrew's cross covered with a rose - is the coat of arms of the noble von Oppen family, who for centuries were the owners of the Jütrichau domain and shaped the community.

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Ernst Albrecht Fiedler .

flag

The flag is striped blue and white. The municipal coat of arms is placed in the middle of the flag.
