history

The first mention of Lüderitz comes from a document in 1340 in which Johannes, perrer to Luderitz is mentioned as a witness.

A few years later the village was named in the loan book of the Magdeburg Archbishops Albrecht III and Peter. The document was created between 1368 and 1381. The village was lent to Fritczo vnde Gerhard von Wederden by the Archbishopric of Magdeburg .

Further mentions are 1477 as desert field mark , 1518 as Schulzenhof zu Letzlingen , 1522 desert heath village to Castle Rogätz. In 1528 the house Letzlingen was built and inhabited by the von Alvensleben family. In 1555 the village was acquired by Prince Elector Johann Georg von Brandenburg and assigned to the office (monastery) Neuendorf. Between 1559 and 1560 he had the Letzlingen hunting lodge built, which, according to Christoph Entzelt, he called Hirschburg .

In 1701 or 1703 the Vorwerk Lüderitz was dismantled and distributed to colonists, a colonist village was created.

In 1910 there were 1,378 residents in Letzlingen.

During the land reform , 27.9 hectares went to 22 poor farmers with property under 5 hectares, 11.1 hectares to 12 landless farmers and small tenants and 1.6 hectares to two industrial workers. In 1959 the first type III agricultural production cooperative, the LPG “Free Life”, was established.

The Heer Combat Training Center (GÜZ) has been stationed in the Altmark barracks since 1999 .

Attractions

• The cultural tourism center is the Letzlingen hunting lodge with its cavalier and castellan's house. The castle was built between 1559 and 1562 on behalf of the later Elector of Brandenburg Johann Georg . It was thoroughly renovated from 1843 to 1868. It has been owned by the Dome und Schlösser Foundation of the State of Saxony-Anhalt (today the Saxony-Anhalt Cultural Foundation ) since 1996 and is the last Hohenzollern Palace in Saxony-Anhalt. From here, several owners and sovereigns hunted for several centuries. The Letzlingen coat of arms with the castle tower and stag bar builds on these historical roots.

• Opposite the hunting lodge is the Tudor style castle church , which was built according to plans from 1853. It was inaugurated by King Wilhelm I in 1861 and is used today by the Protestant parish of Letzlingen.
