history

Kroppenstedt was mentioned for the first time on May 25, 934 in a document with which King Heinrich I gave Count Siegfried in Schwabengau his possessions in Gröningen , Kroppenstedt and Ammendorf. After Siegfried's death, power over these areas went to the Corvey Monastery in Höxter , on the condition that a branch monastery would be established in West Gröningen. Parts of it later became the property of the Halberstadt diocese . Kroppenstedt received city rights in 1253.

In the vicinity of Kroppenstedt there are four desert areas: Nienstedt in the north, Ammendorf in the east, Wentlingen in the northwest and the later repopulated Dalldorf in the southwest.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on August 10, 1995 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.

Blazon : "In blue on a silver, red-bridled and saddled horse, Saint Martin (Saint Martin) in a golden robe, sharing his red cloak with the silver sword for the beggar kneeling in front of him."

The coat of arms of Kroppenstedt comes from a seal documented for the year 1359 with the inscription “S. OPIDI IN CROPPENSTEDE ”. Saint Martin as a symbol was the patron saint of the Kroppenstedt town church. As was the case with numerous cities and municipalities, Christian motifs were originally used in the seal and later transferred to a coat of arms - even without state legitimation being given for this.

The redesign of the coat of arms was done by the local heraldist Jörg Mantzsch .

Infrastructure

At present the federal road 81 (Magdeburg – Halberstadt) still runs through Kroppenstedt, as does the state road 66. From September 4, 2007, the Kroppenstedt bypass of the B 81 was built. The Kroppenstedt bypass was symbolically opened to traffic as part of the B 81 on November 18, 2008 at 3:30 p.m. The rerouting of road traffic to the newly built bypass did not take place until the light came on on November 19, as risks were to be feared as a result of a sudden change in traffic management when it got dark. The link between the B 81 new and the B 81 old at the Kroppenstedt-Ost junction was then established by December 18, 2008.
