coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Altlandkreis of the same name was approved on September 12, 1995 by the Ministry of the Interior of Saxony-Anhalt. Since the district was formally dissolved and re-established on July 1, 2007, the coat of arms had to be approved again, on February 5, 2008.
Blazon : "Split by blue and silver, in front a silver pole, behind a black, silver-contoured and red- armored crane ."
Colors of the county are white and blue.
The silver post symbolizes the Elbe-Havel Canal as an important waterway in the Jerichower Land and at the same time indicates the Elbe as the western boundary of the district. The crane, which lives in the district, populates the Elbe meadows every year and thus represents a symbol of landscape and nature.
The coats of arms of the administrative communities, cities and municipalities of the district can be found in the list of coats of arms in the district of Jerichower Land .
flag
The flag was approved on April 3, 2008 by the Ministry of the Interior of Saxony-Anhalt.
The flag is white-blue (1: 1) striped (cross shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and centered with the district coat of arms.
economy
The Jerichower Land is today one of the economically strongest districts in Saxony-Anhalt, alongside the Saalekreis and the Börde district . On the one hand, the district benefits from its proximity to Magdeburg. On the other hand, a steadily growing economy has developed particularly in the Burg area .
The focal points are:
- Food industry (e.g. Burger Knäcke , Wiesenhof )
- Steel processing (e.g. Burger rolling mill )
- Paper industry ( e.g. Prowell , Propapier )
- Furniture industry (e.g. burger kitchens )
traffic
The district town of Burg was - like Genthin - connected to the long-distance railway network as early as 1846 with the construction of the Berlin-Magdeburg railway line by the Berlin-Potsdam-Magdeburg Railway Company . This company also opened the Biederitz – Trebnitz railway line in 1874 , which merged with the older one in Biederitz.
The first branch line was built by the Prussian State Railways in 1892 and ran from Biederitz via Möckern to Loburg . There it was connected to the extensive narrow-gauge network of the small railways of the Jerichow I district , which in 1896 led from the district town of Burg on two parallel routes that merged in Magdeburgerforth to Ziesar. The connection Groß Lübars – Loburg – Gommern followed in 1903. Because of the military training area in Altengrabow , the route to the state railway to Loburg was expanded as a three - rail track .
In Ziesar - now part of the state of Brandenburg - the narrow-gauge railways were joined by the standard-gauge small railway network of Genthiner Eisenbahn AG , which has grown together from several independent companies. The following sections relate to the Jerichower Land district (with the opening year):
- 1899 Genthin – Schönhausen railway and Genthin – Milow railway
- 1912 Railway line Rogäsen – Karow
- 1917 Güsen – Ziesar railway line
- 1924 Güsen – Jerichow
This meant that there were railway lines with a length of around 260 kilometers in today's district; of which over 160 kilometers have now been shut down for passenger traffic:
| year | route | Gauge | length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1951 | Rogäsen – Karow | 1435 mm | 2 km |
| 1960 | Loburg – Kressow – Gommern | 750 mm | 7 km |
| Klb Castle - Magdeburgerforth - Ziesar East | 750 mm | 34 km | |
| 1965 | Zerbster Tor Castle - Großlübars | 750 mm | 28 km |
| Altengrabow – Magdeburgerforth Bf | 750 mm | 6 km | |
| 1967 | Genthin – Kuxwinkel – Milow | 1435 mm | 16 km |
| Loburg – Lübars – Altengrabow | 1435 mm | 7 km | |
| 1999 | Güsen-Jerichow | 1435 mm | 21 km |
| 1999 | Güsen – Paplitz – Ziesar | 1435 mm | 23 km |
| Genthin Klb-Jerichow-Schönhausen-Sandau | 1435 mm | 20 km |
The Kleinbahn und Kraftwerk Pretzien GmbH was a narrow-gauge railway that only served goods traffic.
The BAB 2 and the federal highways 1 , 107 , 184 , 246 and 246a also run through the Jerichower Land .
The district of Jerichower Land has the vehicle registration number JL. In addition, the old license plates BRG and GNT have been available again since 2012.
