Nedlitz (with the postal addition "bei Burg (bei Magdeburg)") is a town in the city of Gommern in Jerichower Land in Saxony-Anhalt , Germany.
geography
Nedlitz is located six kilometers north of Gommern. The federal highway 246 runs through the village , via which one reaches the state capital Magdeburg after 13 kilometers in a westerly direction . The nearest train station is 1.5 kilometers north on the Biederitz – Altengrabow line , on which Magdeburg could be reached without changing. Nedlitz lies on the border between the Magdeburg Elbaue and West Fleming at 62 meters above sea level and is surrounded by agricultural land that has an above-average profitability for this area. The highest point in the area is the Kienberg near Nedlitz at 70.3 meters.
In terms of natural space , the place belongs to the Zerbster Land , an arable, open cultural landscape and 536 km² main unit of the superordinate main unit group of the Fläming in the north German lowlands . The Zerbster Land forms the southwestern roof of the Fläming to the Elbe and belongs to the catchment area of this river.
history
In connection with the transfer of ownership to the Magdeburg Archbishopric , a place called Nedialesci (later with the spelling Neddelice ) was mentioned for the first time between 961 and 965 , which is very likely identical to today's Nedlitz. The name is of Slavic origin, but the place was already inhabited by German settlers in the 12th century, as the construction of a church began as early as 1150, the defensive tower of which was supposed to offer protection from possible attacks.
Nedlitz was on the old Brandenburg – Magdeburg military road . In the Middle Ages, a manor developed that was owned for a long time by the von Lindow family from Möckern . After their extinction, the ore monastery moved the property in and lent it to various families before it became a family property of the Prussian royal family in 1755 . During the Thirty Years War , Nedlitz was temporarily occupied by Swedish soldiers who, among other things, used the church as a horse stable. In 1642 the place was completely destroyed.
Thanks to its favorable location on the Poststrasse from Magdeburg to Brandenburg, Nedlitz was able to recover quickly from the war damage; by 1660 most of the damage had been repaired. The Nedlitz rectory, which has hardly changed to this day, also dates from this time. In 1680 the estate came into the possession of the von Pfuel family . In 1684 the Poststrasse was made mandatory and a customs post was set up in Nedlitz. At first the inhabitants lived mainly from agriculture. On the orders of Frederick the Great , mulberry trees were planted between 1760 and 1780 in order to use them for raising silkworms . At the beginning of the 19th century the estate set up a brandy distillery.
As a result of the Prussian administrative reform of 1815, Nedlitz came to the Jerichow I district with the district town of Loburg , later Burg . In 1840 324 people lived in the village. The opening of the Magdeburg - Loburg railway line in 1892, which runs a bit further away from the town anyway, had little effect, and Nedlitz continued to be purely agricultural. Thanks to the good soil conditions, the farmers achieved a certain level of prosperity, which was expressed in the construction of spacious courtyards, mostly made of bricks and with arched gates.
On September 30, 1928, the manor district of Nedlitz was united with the rural community of Nedlitz.
As a result of the territorial reform carried out by the GDR after the Second World War , Nedlitz came to the Burg district in 1952 . Due to the influx of refugees from the lost eastern German territories, the number of inhabitants had increased by over 50 percent compared to the pre-war period and was now 890. The manor was expropriated as early as 1945 by the land reform and divided among 15 new farmers , so that with the old-established farms in total 23 farms operated. Most of them were transferred to an LPG in 1953 , which was merged into the Groß-LPG Woltersdorf in 1960. In Nedlitz they specialized in dairy farming as well as grain and fodder cultivation. In 1968 the number of inhabitants had decreased to 730.
In the course of the renewed regional reform after German reunification, Nedlitz was incorporated into the district of Jerichower Land with the district town of Burg. The agricultural cooperative in Königsborn, based in neighboring Büden, became the manager of the agricultural land. On January 1, 2005 Nedlitz was incorporated into the city of Gommern.
Attractions
The Romanesque St. Nicholas Church of the Protestant parish is located in Nedlitz . From 1720 to 1836 seven corpses were buried in a crypt under the church tower, all of which are mummified . The two best preserved of these have been restored and have been open to the public for inspection since April 28, 2013. Organized by the “St. Nikolaus-Kirche Nedlitz ”, the Romanesque gem shines again in its old splendor.
