geography
.svg)
The district of Nachterstedt is located in the north-eastern Harz foreland in the immediate vicinity of the district of Stadt Hoym between Aschersleben and Quedlinburg . The lower Selke flows south-west of Nachterstedt and the north of the area is occupied by Lake Concordia , a 600 hectare former open-cast mine that is now used as a swimming lake within the Harz region for recreational purposes.
history
Nachterstedt was first mentioned in 961 in a document from Otto II . The place Nachterstedt was given to the Margrave Gero . However, it is assumed that the area was settled around 500 years earlier by Old Saxons.
As indicated on the coat of arms (swan and fish), the earlier inhabitants lived from fishing, after the drainage of the Nachterstedter See partly from peat cutting and in the following period from agriculture because of the good soil in this area.
From the middle of the 19th century, lignite was mined in Nachterstedt , initially underground in the Concordia mine and later in open-cast mining . In 1865 Nachterstedt was connected to the railway network ( Halberstadt - Aschersleben - Köthen line , today Halle – Halberstadt line ).
The Nachterstedt coal district, to which the districts of Frose , Schadeleben , Friedrichsaue and Neu Königsaue also belonged, was at times the most productive extraction area in what was then the Upper Mining District of Halle (1870: 250,000 t), and at the turn of the century even the largest lignite mine in Prussia. A briquette factory was built in 1888 and a power plant in 1914.
During the Second World War , several hundred Soviet prisoners of war as well as forced laborers from other nations had to work under inhumane conditions in the Concordia lignite mine belonging to the Riebeckschen Montan-Werke ; 130 to 140 of them were killed.
The village of Nachterstedt had to gradually give way to the advancing lignite mining from 1928 and was rebuilt around 1.5 kilometers further south in the period up to 1951. The Halberstadt – Aschersleben railway line was also moved south. In the 1960s, the Nachterstedt lignite mine employed more than 6,500 people. With the closure of the plant in 1990 because coal mining had become unprofitable, a 150-year-old mining tradition ended.
At the site of the devastated village and open- cast mine , the Seeland recreation area with Lake Concordia has been created .
On July 15, 2009, Nachterstedt was incorporated into the new municipality of Seeland .

Accidents
On February 2, 1959, 5.8 million cubic meters of overburden fell in the Nachterstedt lignite mine . In the accident caused by settlement flow , a miner was killed, and two stackers and an overburden train were destroyed.
On July 18, 2009, a 350 meter wide strip of land in the southern foothills of Lake Concordia was demolished in the Nachterstedt area . A two-story semi-detached house, part of another semi-detached house as well as a section of street and a viewing platform were swept away. Three people were buried and declared missing . Preliminary reports indicate the cause that groundwater has softened the embankment. It has already been clarified that a 0.9 magnitude microquake can be seen as the trigger for the ground to slide. The actual cause of the accident is officially not yet fully clarified.
In December 2012 work began to evacuate the affected area. A total of 12 semi-detached houses and 48 outbuildings were demolished. The demolition ended in 2013 when the official final report was presented. In the spring of 2014, the hinterland of the landslide basin was cleared and further preparations for the embankment design and compaction began.
During renovation work, another landslide occurred on June 28, 2016.

Blazon : A silver swan with golden armor swimming in red on blue water, below him in the water a silver fish with golden fins.
The previous seal of the district showed a heraldic shield squared by purple and green, fields 1 and 4: empty, field 2: a swan, field 3: three fish on top of each other. The coat of arms has been recreated from the symbols used here, which are reminiscent of the former Gatersleber Lake, on which Nachterstedt is located.
The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg State Archives Councilor Otto Korn .
