coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on May 5, 2003 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.
Blazon : “Split by green and gold; At the front of the gap a silver twelve-spoke wheel, at the back a branch with 12 green leaves and 12 blue flowers. "
The colors of the church are green-gold (yellow).
The place Jerchel was created by the settlement of 12 farmers who came with their farm wagons from Tangermünde, settled there and founded the place. The half twelve-spoke wagon wheel, as a common figure, is a symbol for the 12 farm wagons of the rural settlers. According to historical records, the place name Jerchel comes from the vernacular name Gerkel for the vetch, also known as the rough-haired vetch, which often grows in the area. The arable plant is firmly anchored in its location with the surrounding plants and is therefore a symbol in rural regions for being down-to-earth and solidarity with home.
The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Lutz Döring from Erdeborn.
Culture and sights
At Pentecost, the wreath riding has been taking place since 1908, a tradition that used to be widespread in the Altmark and in which the sons and servants of the farmers took part. The horses were provided by the farmers.
The Protestant village church is a small plastered hall church with a square half-timbered tower in the west. Its construction began in 1507. The carved altar dates from 1516. In the middle, Mary stands in a radiant aureola with two angels above and below. The Christ Child is reading a book. Next to Mary on the left and right are the twelve apostles . The painted predella contains the scourged Christ and 4 women on the left and right.
