The center of the village is the Sankt-Petri-Kirche, which was mentioned in a document as early as 1418. Initially built in the Romanesque style, it was later given a baroque vault. In the past, rich farmers lived in Ochtmersleben. Sugar beet cultivation in particular brought the village a certain wealth in centuries past. Evidence of this are large house and courtyard rooms, which, however, were neglected to a considerable extent after the Second World War .
