Klein Schwechten is a district of the municipality of Rochau in the Stendal district in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

Klein Schwechten, a street village with a church, is 11 kilometers north of the district town of Stendal in the Altmark . The village is drained by the Klein Schwechten ditch, which flows east into the Uchte .

Neighboring towns are Häsewig in the west, Ziegenhagen in the north-west, Petersmark in the north, Möllendorf and Goldbeck in the north-east, Eichstedt (Altmark) and Groß Schwechten in the south.

history

The first documentary mention of Schwechten comes from the year 1200 as et ecclesiam in Suechten in a document about the foundation and furnishing of the church of the Krevese monastery , issued by Bishop Gardolf von Halberstadt (1193 - September 21, 1201). The neighboring village of Groß Schwechten was first mentioned in 1209 as Grotinswachten , so there must have been a Klein Schwechten at that time.

Klein Schwechten himself was first mentioned in 1358 as in deme dorpe tu lutken swechten .

In the Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg of 1375 the village is listed as Lutke Swechten . The Pincerna, the later Schenck von Lützendorf, were enfeoffed with the village. In 1686 the village was the knight's seat of the Bülow heirs with a windmill. Further mentions are Lütken Schwechten in 1687 and Dorf und Gut Klein-Schwechten in 1804 .

Agriculture

During the land reform in 1945, the following were determined: two properties over 100 hectares had a total of 294 hectares, 70 properties less than 100 hectares had a total of 695 hectares, and one property had 45 hectares. 293 hectares were expropriated, 287 of which were divided among 34 settlers. In 1953 the first type III agricultural production cooperative, the LPG "Red Banner", was established.

Incorporations

On April 1, 1926, the Klein Schwechten manor district was incorporated into the rural community of Klein Schwechten. On 25 July 1952, the community was small Schwechten from the district of Stendal in the district Osterburg reclassified. After its dissolution, she came back to the district of Stendal on July 1, 1994. On January 1, 1974, the municipality of Häsewig with its district Ziegenhagen was incorporated into the municipality of Klein Schwechten.

As part of the municipal reorganization of Saxony-Anhalt, Klein Schwechten was incorporated into the municipality of Rochau by law on January 1, 2011 . Since January 1, 2011, the districts of Klein Schwechten, Häsewig and Ziegenhagen belong to the municipality of Rochau.

Both Klein Schwechten and Schwarzholz had unsuccessfully sued against the municipal area reform and thus the incorporation to Rochau into the Arneburg-Goldbeck community.

Sage - the devil too little weak

The following legend was printed in the Altmark Intelligence and Reading Sheet in 1828, which Alfred Pohlmann handed down in 1909 as “The Devil to Little Schwechten”.

In 1671, a clerk named Heinrich Meier lived on the manor of Ernst Ludwig von Bülow zu Klein Schwechten. He was guilty of a blasphemous statement and had to go to the court in Stendal when the devil appeared to him on the country road, who offered to pull him out of his embarrassment as a lawyer. The scribe had already repented of his sin and declined the offer and began to pray aloud. When the devil heard the first words "he left the clerk ingrim and disappeared".

Hanns HF Schmidt tells the legend in 1994 under the title "Heinrich Meier and the Devil" a little differently. Here the clerk constantly cursed and was visited by the devil several times in the office as an unknown, well-dressed gentleman. "The fear of hell overcame him." He prayed loudly for hours and sang pious songs so that "everyone could hear and enjoy it." The devil never came back and the cursing gave up if you trust the legend.
