The Ohrekreis was a district in the northwest of Saxony-Anhalt. On July 1, 2007, it was merged with the Bördekreis to form the new Börde district as part of the regional reform in Saxony-Anhalt . Neighboring districts were the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel and the Stendal district in the north, the Jerichower Land district in the east, the independent city of Magdeburg and the Bördekreis in the south, and the Lower Saxony district of Helmstedt in the west and the Gifhorn district in the northwest .
geography
The area of the Ohrekreis was in the Magdeburg Börde and the Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide . The district was named after the river Ohre , which ran parallel to the Mittelland Canal from west to east through the district and emptied into the Elbe . In the west, the Aller River also flowed through the district.
economy
As part of the Magdeburger Börde , the district was mainly used for agriculture. Large industrial parks were built around Magdeburg and Haldensleben, especially near the A2 motorway.
traffic
Motorway (A2 and A14) as well as rail connections ran through the district that touched the state capital Magdeburg. The Mittelland Canal also ran through the district. The greater Magdeburg area was connected to the state capital by the Magdeburg S-Bahn .
history
The district was created in 1994 through the merger of the districts of Haldensleben and Wolmirstedt . There were also some communities in the Klötze district . The first and only district administrator in the new district was the former district administrator of the Wolmirstedt district, Thomas Webel ( CDU ).
1680–1806 today's district area roughly corresponded to the Brandenburg wooden circle .
During the district reform in 2007, the Ohrekreis was merged with its southern neighbor, the Bördekreis . The name of the new district is Landkreis Börde .
coat of arms
Blazon : "Diagonally left divided by a wave cut red over silver, above a five-leaf silver beech branch, below a blue wave oblique left bar."
The coat of arms was approved on May 11, 1995.
The blue sloping left-hand bar symbolizes the river Ohre, which meanders across the district, crosses the three cities of Oebisfelde, Haldensleben and Wolmirstedt and gave the district its name. The beech branch stands for the large beech forests of the Flechtinger ridge. The circle colors red and white are derived from the colors of the Archdiocese or Duchy of Magdeburg, to which the majority of the Ohrekreis belonged.
