Großwulkow was first mentioned in 1144 as Wolkowe in the deed of foundation of the Jerichow monastery .

Kleinwulkow is a founding of Slavs displaced from Großwulkow. It was first mentioned in 1144 as "Slavica Wulkowe" in the founding deed of Jerichow Monastery.

On July 1, 1950, the two previously independent communities Großwulkow and Kleinwulkow formed the community Wulkow in the Genthin district. On April 1, 1974, the Hohenbellin community was incorporated into Wulkow. Already on September 30, 1928, the Hohenbellin manor district had been converted into a rural community.

On May 25th, 2009 the Wulkow municipal council decided to dissolve and to unite with 11 other municipalities to form a new unified municipality called the City of Jerichow . This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on January 1, 2010.

At the same time, the Elbe-Stremme-Fiener administrative community ceased to exist, as all former member communities merged to form the new unified community “City of Jerichow” .

Historical coats of arms

The former communities Großwulkow, Hohenbellin and Kleinwulkow already had a coat of arms-like seal image in their community seal. This was used in the period after the Second World War until around the introduction of the districts and counties in the GDR (1945–1952). Another source is the County Home Museum in Genthin.
