Location of Königstedt in Saxony-Anhalt

Königstedt belongs to the village of Pretzier and is a district of the Hanseatic city of Salzwedel in the Altmark district of Salzwedel in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

The cul-de-sac village of Königstedt is located about ten kilometers south-east of Salzwedel city center in the north of the Altmark . The Königstedter Graben, like the Graben on the Hoppenberg, flows west of the village over the Pretzier Dairy Ditch and the Ried into the Jeetze . Neighboring towns are Pretzier, Klein Gartz , Benkendorf and Stappenbeck .

history

The village was first mentioned as villa Koningstede in 1255 , when Margrave Otto transferred some goods to the Heilig-Geist-Stift near Salzwedel. Shortly afterwards, in 1285, it is called villa Koningestede . In the Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg from 1375 the village is listed as Kongestede . It belonged to Dambeck Abbey . Further mentions are 1573 Konningstede and 1687 Königstedt .

At the beginning of the 20th century there was a windmill south of Königstedt, which was mentioned as early as 1745.

Königstedt Castle

Wilhelm Zahn reported in 1909: “Hofmeister assumes that there was an old border castle against the Wendenland near the village of Königstedt, which is said to have existed as early as 956 and assumes that when kings Heinrich II and Konrad II were present, the old Wendish settlement near the castle was given the name Königstedt. The hypothesis cannot be confirmed by documents or otherwise. There are no traces of a castle, nor is there any local tradition. ” Paul Grimm also saw no evidence of a castle.

Deserted areas near Königstedt

Zahn further reports that on the desert map 1610 (Deutsch Pretzier) there are deserts whose existence is doubtful. On the western part of the Feldmark, two kilometers south of the village, lies "the Ried (Rieth)", a terrain surrounded by old ramparts. The adjacent forest is called Zobel, there are no traces of a settlement to be seen. About 0.5 km before the southern exit of the village, a field bears the name Wendsch Kerkhof , which means Wendish churchyard. Here, too, no desert can be seen. The third desert, the desert Feldmark Milow, is documented in the hereditary register of Dambeck Monastery from 1573. According to information from 1781, it was 1½ miles from Salzwedel near Königstedt, as can be seen from documents in the Brandenburg State Main Archives.

prehistory

The Königstedt stone grave was destroyed in the 19th century. In 1901, Alfred Pohlmann passed on the legend “The bridal bed at Königstedt”. The barrow to the south of the village was called the giant or bride's bed. A giant bride is said to have found her final resting place there.

Incorporations

Originally the village belonged to the Salzwedelischer Kreis . From 1816 it belonged to the Salzwedel district, and with it the later municipality of Königstedt . On July 25, 1952, Königstedt came to the Salzwedel district in the Magdeburg district . On January 1, 1992, the municipality of Königstedt was incorporated into Pretzier from the same district. With the incorporation of Pretzier to Salzwedel on January 1, 2010, Königstedt came to Salzwedel as a district and to the newly established village of Pretzier.

religion

The Protestant parish of Königstedt used to belong to the parish of Klein Gartz. The Evangelicals from Königstedt are now part of the parish Groß Chüden in the parish of Salzwedel-St. Georg in the parish of Salzwedel in the provost district of Stendal-Magdeburg of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .

Culture and sights

  • The Protestant village church in Königstedt is a field stone building from the 13th century. It was dedicated to Saint Nicholas . In the church there is a full-length pastor portrait of Pastor Christoph Praetorius (Schulze) from 1704 (born 1647, pastor from 1676, died 1730). His predecessor Zacharias Praetorius worked from 1648 to 1676. The information given by Paul Meitz on the site of the parish Groß Chüden does not match the dates on the painting and the priest's tombstone in the church.
  • The local cemetery is in the churchyard.
