history

In the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Prussia had to cede the Altmark and the Duchy of Magdeburg west of the Elbe to the newly founded Kingdom of Westphalia, along with other areas . From these areas and smaller areas ceded by the Kingdom of Saxony , the department of the Elbe was formed, which was divided into four districts ( Magdeburg , Neuhaldensleben , Stendal and Salzwedel ). The Stendal district was subdivided further into 14 cantons ( cantons ) including the country Canton Stendal. 9 municipalities belonged to the Landkanton of Stendal (original spellings that differ from today's spelling are in italics):

Before / until 1807, the places belonged to the Stendal District of the Altmark Province of the Mark Brandenburg .

The first Maire von Stendal was the former district administrator of Woldeck, who received his dismissal on July 3, 1809. Levin Friedrich Christoph August von Bismarck followed him on a wave. In 1808 the Landkanton Stendal had 3291 inhabitants Bertuch gives the area of ​​the Landkantons Stendal with 2.43 square miles, the population for 1810 with 3017. The Statistical Repertory of Johann Georg Heinrich Hassel from 1813 gives the area slightly different with 2.45 square miles. In December 1811 the rural canton of Stendal had 3,108 inhabitants. The Almanach royal de Westphalie of 1811 summarized the rural and urban cantons of Stendal; both cantons were led by only one canton maire. The population of the two cantons was 10,128, the cantonsmaire was Levin Friedrich Christoph August von Bismarck auf Welle, to whom two adjuncts named Krüger and Helmke were assigned. According to the court and state calendar of 1812, the rural and urban canton of Stendal together also had 10,331 inhabitants. Canton maire was von Bismarck with the adjuncts of Jagow and Helmke ..

With the collapse of the Kingdom of Westphalia after the Battle of Leipzig (October 16-19, 1813), the area of ​​the rural canton of Stendal became part of the Stendal district office. In the district reform of 1816, the area of ​​the Stendal district office became part of the Stendal district .
