The Salzlandkreis is a district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt , which was formed as part of the district reform on July 1, 2007 by merging the former districts of Aschersleben-Staßfurt (without Falkenstein / Harz ), Bernburg and Schönebeck . It is the only district in Saxony-Anhalt that does not border on another German state .
geography
With an area of 1,427 km², the Salzlandkreis is the second smallest district in Saxony-Anhalt. While in the east the Elbe forms the border to the neighboring district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld over a length of 22 kilometers , parts of the town of Schönebeck lie on the other side of the Elbe in the north . The landscape is diverse, the north is characterized by the productive Magdeburg Börde , and in the east the Elbe and Saale form a wide flood plain. In the west the district extends to the Vorharzgebiet, in the south the former lignite and salt mining has left its mark. In the Bördedorf Eickendorf , with the land value number 100 of the Germany-wide soil estimate, the most productive agricultural areas are located. In addition to the Elbe and Saale, the Bode and Wipper are also part of the district's river network. The highest elevation is Phillips Galgenberg, located in the far west near Cochstedt , at 224 meters. It belongs to the Hakel , which, along with the Nachterstedter Forest and the pine forests near Plötzky and Pretzien, is one of the few notable forest areas in the district. The district is part of the UNESCO Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve . This includes the Lödderitzer forest , which is several square kilometers in size .
Dialect border
The Benrath line runs right through the district immediately north of the towns of Aschersleben and Barby and thus the transition from the High German - more precisely: the East Central German dialects to the Low German language .
Historical development
In the Middle Ages, the dioceses of Magdeburg and Halberstadt essentially ruled in today's district . The southeast belonged to the Ascanian Anhalt since 1170 with Bernburg as a temporary residence. After the two dioceses were secularized after the Thirty Years War and replaced by the secular Duchy of Magdeburg in 1680 , their areas came under the administration of the Saalkreis. The duchy, in turn, was part of the Brandenburg electorate, which became the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701 . After the Prussian administrative reform of 1815, the Prussian area of today's district was mainly divided into the newly formed districts of Calbe and Quedlinburg and the city of Aschersleben. The GDR territorial reform again reduced the size of the districts, so that from 1952 the districts of Schönebeck , Bernburg , Aschersleben and Staßfurt were involved in what is now the district area. During the GDR era, the northern part of the district belonged to the Magdeburg district and the southern part to the Halle district .
Plötzky , Pretzien , Ranies and Elbenau , the northernmost places in the district, have a special place in the historical development . They belonged to the Electorate of Saxony since the 12th century and were subordinate to the Saxon office of Gommern until 1808 . During the French occupation from 1808 to 1813, these places belonged to Napoleon's only bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Elbe and were incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia . They only became Prussian in 1818 and belonged to the Jerichow I district until 1945 .
Naming
The name Salzlandkreis refers to centuries of salt production in the region, primarily in the former Groß Salze, today's Bad Salzelmen . Salt production in Bad Salzelmen was discontinued in 1967, but the brine is still part of the spa operation today. In addition, the region with the potash shafts in Staßfurt is considered the origin of potash mining .
Population development
The following overview shows the population development in the area of today's Salzlandkreis (population 1990 as of October 3, otherwise December 31 of each year).

politics
District Administrator
In the first district elections in the Salzlandkreis on April 22, 2007, the three district administrators from the old districts, Heike Brehmer ( CDU ) from Aschersleben , Ulrich Gerstner ( SPD ) from Bernburg and Erik Hunker (independent, but supported by the FDP ) from Schönebeck as well , stepped up Sabine Dirlich ( LINKE ), Manfred Horst ( NPD ) and Harald Hinze ( REP ). After the first ballot on April 22nd, none of the candidates was able to win the absolute majority required. Therefore, on May 6, 2007, the two candidates with the most votes ran for a runoff election. These were Heike Brehmer with around 32% of the votes and Ulrich Gerstner with around 27% of the votes. The other candidates (Erik Hunker 20%, Sabine Dirlich 17%, Manfred Horst 3% and Harald Hinze 1%) were far behind. According to the election results of May 6, 2007, Ulrich Gerstner (SPD) was elected as district administrator with 51.1% of the vote.

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on October 29, 2007 by the Ministry of the Interior of Saxony-Anhalt.
Blazon : “Square of red and silver; Fields 1 and 4: in a golden basket a piece of silver salt with three golden ribbons; Field 2: a black eagle with golden armor and tongue, the Saxen covered with golden clover stems; Field 3: a striding, red-tongued black bear with a silver collar on a sloping, black-jointed red battlement wall with a closed silver gate with black fittings and a black lock on the right side. "
The two salt baskets refer to the name Salzlandkreis, while the Anhalt bear and the Prussian eagle represent the historical division of the region into Anhalt and Prussian state territories. The border road of the city of Staßfurt is a clear example of this: both footpaths were in different sovereign territories, which is why this road got its name.
The designers of the coat of arms are Joachim Grossert (content) and Kathrin Telle (graphics).
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 Salzlandkreis .
flag
The flag is striped red and white (1: 1) (cross shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and centered with the district coat of arms.
logo
The logo depicts the coat of arms of the Salzland district in connection with the lettering of the district name and a red underscore as an indicator of the district colors (red and white). Institutions of the Salzlandkreis can insert their name under the red line.
symbol
The symbol contains the motifs of the coat of arms in a slightly modified form in a loose arrangement in a transparent coat of arms shield, in the background of which the flag of the district is depicted. The lettering of the district name crowns the coat of arms.
The symbol can be used by anyone to visually establish a connection with the Salzlandkreis.
Economy and Infrastructure
In the future atlas 2016 , the Salzlandkreis was ranked 3902 out of 402 rural districts and urban districts in Germany, making it one of the regions with "high future risks".
Agriculture dominates the fertile ground in the north of the district. Next to Klein Wanzleben (Börde district) and Zeitz (Burgenlandkreis district), the third sugar factory in Saxony-Anhalt is located in Könnern . Plant biotechnology is researched and operated in Gatersleben . The district's industry focuses on the four largest cities in the district, such as Bernburg (cement, salt and pharmaceutical production), Aschersleben (nonwovens production, machine tool and plant construction), Schönebeck (machine and plant construction, sports ammunition), as well in Staßfurt (TV sets and satellite receivers, soda production).
The most important traffic artery in the district is the federal motorway 14 , which cuts through it from north to south. Federal highway 71 runs parallel to this and takes on regional traffic. The federal motorway 36 running in the north of the Harz Mountains connects the district with the motorways 7 and 9 .
The northernmost town of Schönebeck (Elbe) lies on the supra-regional railway line Magdeburg – Leipzig , and the district is also served by the Halle – Vienenburg and Berlin – Blankenheim railway lines. The district town of Bernburg is located on the Köthen – Aschersleben branch line .
As a waterway, the Elbe has little relevance to traffic for Schönebeck.
The former Cochstedt military airfield has been redesigned to become the Magdeburg-Cochstedt regional airport , which, however, is not operated in regular air traffic.
