history

In 965, Emperor Otto I assigned the "civitas Luborn" to the Magdeburg Mauritius Monastery , it is Loburg's first documented mention. In their place, however, there was a Slavic hill fort in the Gau Moresceni as early as the 8th century . It was converted into a border castle in the 10th century to secure the German settlement operated by Otto and became the center of a castle award. The castle dominated the important military and trade routes in the direction of Zerbst, which, coming from Burg and Brandenburg, met here. However, it was destroyed again during the Slav uprising of 983 . The villages Möckernitz and Ziemitz, which were built around the castle, suffered the same fate. While both places were rebuilt at the beginning of the 13th century, the Burgrave of Lubborch did not build a new castle until 1162 and 1200.

In 1207 the two villages merged and received city rights under the name Loburg. The fortification that was then built by a city wall with three gates did not include the former village of Ziemitz, so that it was repeatedly attacked by looters. It was then abandoned by its residents, who settled behind the protection of the city walls, and fell into disrepair, together with its three-aisled basilica from the 12th century.

In the course of the Middle Ages, Loburg was given as a fiefdom by the Moritz monastery to several changing noble families. In addition, the families targeted by Barby and from Wulffen manors and the von Randow had here possession. The von Wulffen in particular were very involved in the city. In 1581, Eustachius von Wulffen initiated the extensive renovation of the St. Lorenz town church. There were frequent disputes about the rights of the city between the citizens and the feudal families, which in 1598 and 1614 culminated in real uprisings. The elaborate construction of the town hall in 1609 testifies to the self-confidence of the citizens.

After the Thirty Years' War Loburg came under the rule of Brandenburg - Prussia . Since 1680 Loburg was directly subordinate to the Duchy of Magdeburg as a so-called Immediatstadt . There it was initially in the Genthiner district, which later became District I with the capital Burg . In 1716 a garrison was moved to the city, and towards the end of the 18th century Prussia set up a customs office here. After the reorganization of the Jerichow I district through the Prussian administrative reform of 1815, Loburg was the seat of the district administration from 1850 to 1877.

The Biederitz – Loburg railway connection opened on October 1, 1892, and the narrow-gauge railway of the small railways of the Jerichow I district to Lübars (and thus on to Burg , Ziesar , Gommern and Pretzien ), which was completed on April 20, 1903, had only minor effects on the economic development of the City. Even after the construction of the railway, agriculture continued to dominate at a stagnating level. The starch factory is worth mentioning as an industrial employer based on the supply of raw materials from the surrounding farms.

In 1885 Loburg had 2179 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928, the three manor districts Loburg I, Loburg II and Loburg III were combined with the town of Loburg, whereby the Wendgräben manor part of the Loburg III manor district was added to the rural community of Zeppernick.

After the end of the Second World War , the Soviet Army established a local command in the Loburg town hall until 1948. From July 25, 1952 to June 20, 1957, Loburg was once again the district town. The Loburg district was dissolved and Loburg was assigned to the Zerbst district . Agriculture also remained an important economic factor during the GDR era, and branches of the fittings and clothing industry were also established there. In 1980 the population was 3,150.

After German reunification, Loburg was incorporated into the newly created district of Anhalt-Zerbst . By designating two industrial areas, the city succeeded in relocating a number of new production companies. Until 2004 Loburg was the central location of an administrative community with seven affiliated locations. From January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2007, the city belonged to the Elbe-Ehle-Nuthe administrative community based in Zerbst. Since July 1, 2007, the city has belonged to the Möckern-Loburg-Fläming administrative community based in Möckern and to the Jerichower Land district .

On January 1, 2009 Loburg was incorporated into the town of Möckern .
