Körbelitz is a village in the municipality of Möser in the Jerichower Land district in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

The village of Körbelitz is located on the western edge of the Fläming , two kilometers east of federal highway 1 , via which the district town of Burg can be reached after eleven kilometers in a northerly direction . The state capital Magdeburg is 17 kilometers to the south-west . Two driveways on the A2 motorway are about eight kilometers away. The place is surrounded by agricultural land of medium quality.

history

A large stone barrow from the Stone Age , located about a kilometer southeast of today's Körbelitz, proves that the area was inhabited as early as 6000 years ago. Finds from the Iron Age prove the presence of Germanic tribes, which were later replaced by Slavs , as can be proven from the Slavic place name.

In 1015, the Archbishop of Magdeburg, Gero, is said to have given the place Karbelicz, then known as it was, to the Magdeburg monastery of Our Lady. However, this information relates to an apparently forged document ("Magdeburg und seine Umgebung, 1973"). The mention of the place is secured by documents from the years 1182 (Archbishop Wiechmann) and 1197. The latter was taken in 1997 as an opportunity to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the place. In the middle of the 12th century Slavs still inhabited the place, but at that time Flemish colonists came along who built their own row of houses with more comfortable buildings parallel to the Slavic street. This is how the local structure that still exists today was created with two streets in a north-south direction. The place, which expanded in this way, also attracted the residents of the surrounding areas, so that several neighboring settlements soon became desolate.

In 1719, District Administrator Plotho was forced to issue a ban on wooden house fences in Köbelitz, as fires spread over the wooden fences had caused great damage in the village in the past few years. As a further fire protection measure, the district administrator of Barby ordered the construction of brick chimneys in 1732. In the middle of the 18th century, King of Prussia Friedrich II had the soil quality of the agricultural areas around Körbelitz improved by introducing clay, and part of the sandy area was reforested with pine trees. From around 1770 on, the heath northeast of Körbelitz was the staging area for the three-day army shows, the so-called revues of the Prussian kings, which take place every year at the end of May. The king and his high-ranking officers took up quarters in the village's farmsteads, while the guests invited to the revues, including officers from Austria, Russia and France , were accommodated in the neighboring Pietzpuhl Castle. The last revue took place immediately before the outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars in 1805.

From 1818 Körbelitz belonged administratively to the district Jerichow I with the district town Burg. At the initiative of the Landrat Freiherr von Münchhausen, who was in office at the time, the town was expanded in a north-easterly direction from 1820, which resulted in the so-called "new village". Since Körbelitz was neither connected to the modern road network established from the middle of the 19th century nor to the railway, the industrialization that was developing at that time passed the village by. Only one dairy set up here in 1900. In 1890 the city of Magdeburg set up an agricultural estate in order to cultivate the sewage fields of Magdeburg, which were then north of Körbelitz. Six houses for eight to ten families each were built for the estate's employees. In 1936 the German Wehrmacht converted the former Prussian military training area into a modern firing range for the time. This included a 100-meter-long and ten-meter-high shooting wall made of stamped concrete.

When the GDR abolished the previous state and district structure in 1952, Körbelitz came to the newly formed Burg district in the Magdeburg district . A year later, Gut Magdeburg was converted into the “Volkseigen Gut Körbelitz”, which mainly grew fodder and vegetables on 750 hectares. It was only relatively late in 1958 that an LPG was created out of thirty independently operating farms , which specialized primarily in dairy farming. Together, the two companies employed around 270 people.

After the end of the GDR, agriculture was reorganized. Two GmbHs for management and machine rental and a fruit trading company were created. In addition, two companies for car trading and electrical engineering were established. With the help of a village renewal program , the previously agricultural place was transformed into a housing estate.

From 2005 to 2009, Körbelitz was part of the Biederitz-Möser administrative association . Until December 31, 2009, Körbelitz was an independent municipality. On January 1, 2010, Körbelitz merged with other municipalities to form the new municipality of Möser.

The oldest furnishings include the pulpit from 1650 and an offering box from 1656.
