About this picture

With 19,953 inhabitants (as of March 2019), Oschersleben (Bode) is the most populous city in the Börde district in Saxony-Anhalt .

The city lies in the middle of the Magdeburger Börde and was strongly influenced by agriculture by the surrounding fertile black earth soils. The city's history spans more than 1000 years.

Oschersleben is known for the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben , built in 1997 . The racetrack, on which many national and international races have already been held, is one of five permanent racetracks in Germany.

geography

Oschersleben is located in the Magdeburg Börde , approx. 35 km southwest of Magdeburg . Here the Große Graben , which is fed by the Schöninger Aue and the Hohlebach , flows into the Bode , which reaches the northernmost point in Oschersleben. This area is known as the Great Break due to the extent of the water network.

geology

Geologically, the city is located in the Central German Bruchschollenland . Looking more closely, Oschersleben is located on the Oschersleben-Bernburger plaice in the Subhercynian Depression . On the surface you can find rocks of the Keuper with poorly permeable clay and silt stones. This floe is bounded by the Allertal fault and the Lappwald, in the west by the Asse, in the east by the Halle volcanic complex and in the south by the Harz.

Oschersleben is also on the edge of the Oschersleben-Egeln-Staßfurt salt saddle . Because of the occurrence of lignite in the edge area of ​​the saddle, opencast mines were operated in the districts of Hornhausen, Jakobsberg, Neindorf and Klein Oschersleben in the past . All pits in this area have now been backfilled.

Quaternary gravel from the Cold Age is present in the Bode valley. The groundwater is only a short distance from the surface.

Black earth is a widespread soil type in the city's catchment area. This fertile soil has shaped the city for centuries in a strong agricultural way.

On July 1, 2014, the new municipal constitutional law of the state of Saxony-Anhalt came into force. In its §14 (2) the municipalities are given the opportunity to assign this designation to the districts that were towns before the incorporation. The city of Oschersleben (Bode) has made use of this regulation. The current version of its main statutes came into force on July 8, 2017. In §1 the districts and in §14 (1) the localities are listed with their official names.

history

Middle Ages and Modern Times

Oschersleben was allegedly mentioned in 814 in the foundation letters of Emperor Ludwig the Pious under the name Oscheresleve in the Harzgau , but no original documents are currently available. The document of Louis the Pious dated September 2, 814, in which reference is made to a foundation by Charlemagne , is a forgery from the 12th century.

On November 23, 994, Oschersleben was documented for the first time in a document from King Otto III. In which it Quedlinburg the market rights granted mentioned as northern limit of its range: "palus qua ex Oscheresleuo tenditur usque Hornaburch (the sump of which Oschersleben to Hornburg expands)". The 1000th anniversary was celebrated on this occasion in 1994.

On October 27, 1010, Oskeresleuo was the exhibition site of an important royal document , in which Heinrich II took the episcopal church of Brandenburg under his protection and gave Bishop Wigo (1004-1017 / 19) and his successors the freedom to choose the bailiffs and the right of disposal assured about the tithe from the Havelland and all provinces of the diocese.

On January 17, 1052, the counties of Count Bernhard in the Harzgau, Derlingau , North Thuringia and Balsamgau - and thus also Oschersleben - came through a gift from Salier Heinrich III. (HRR) to the expansive Diocese of Halberstadt .

The then only fourteen-year-old Salier Heinrich IV “gave” the important imperial Abbey Corvey to the Archdiocese of Bremen on September 6th 1065 in Osckerslevo under the tutelage of his sole regent, Bishop Adalbert von Bremen .

In the 12th century, Oschersleben was owned by the Count Palatine of Sommerschenburg. Later in 1207, Oschersleben was assigned to the Halberstadt diocese and then transferred several times to the Magdeburg diocese. In 1339 the town became the property of the Counts of Reinstein. In 1399 ownership changed back to the two noble families of Veltheim and von Wenden. Another change of ownership took place in 1484, when the city was assigned to the von Hoym and the Asseburgers . Only in 1545 did Oschersleben return to the Halberstadt diocese.

Tower of the fortification

There is no document stating when Oschersleben received town or market rights. However, in 1235 the inhabitants were referred to as "Burgenses" (citizens). The fortifications were mentioned from the 15th century.

Ecclesiastically, the city always belonged to the Diocese of Halberstadt , was the seat of an archdeaconate and carried out the Reformation in 1540 .

The original village settlement was close to the break to the west and south-west of the later fortified city and is called the "old village" or antiqua villa in documents. The term old village was later retained for the western suburb and is used as a street name up to our time. The Stephanskirche, allegedly founded by Bishop Hildegrim in 806, was located in this old village settlement .

To the south-east of the old village, very close to the Bruch in the south, was the old Oschersleben Castle , which was probably built in the early 12th century. It was fortified with walls and moats and originally had its entrance from the dam. The castle was rebuilt in 1545 and expanded to the north towards the city. Since the transition to Brandenburg (1648) it was electoral, from 1701 royal domain, which passed into private hands in the second half of the 19th century.

The city was laid out in the 12th century to the northeast of these older parts of the settlement. It had an area of ​​about 450 × 450 m. The west side was straight, the others curved in a horseshoe shape. The road network was completely regular, especially to the east. The rectangular market , which is bordered by the town hall in the north and the Nikolaikirche in the south, forms the centerpiece to this day .

There is no verified information about the construction of the city fortifications. The city must have been fortified before 1235 - later with a wall, double ramparts and a moat. The course of the city wall is still clearly visible today. Originally there were the Magdeburger Tor in the east, the Hornhäuser or Oldendorpsche Tor in the west, the Halberstädter Tor in the south and the New Tor in the north at the city entrances. The fortifications at the gates have been leveled since 1700, as has the city moat, which has been converted into gardens. The city did not expand until the 19th century, especially to the north and west.

In the 17th century, parts of Oschersleben fell victim to fires. After the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648, the city became part of Brandenburg-Prussia . After the territorial reorganization of the Congress of Vienna , it became a district town on July 1, 1816 . Until 1859 the seat of the district administration was in Schwanebeck .

Towards the middle of the 19th century, the rapidly developing beet sugar industry caused a large influx of internal migrants to Oschersleben; until then, agriculture and cattle breeding had been the main livelihoods of the city's population. The first sugar factory was opened in 1840 . The machine factory and iron foundry C. Bartels Söhne was established as a further economic factor in the city ​​in 1846 , followed by several brick factories, in 1861 a sausage and meat factory, and in 1869 a malt factory. The district court of Oschersleben was built around 1890 .

Oschersleben was the district town of the district of Oschersleben (Bode) , from 1952 district of Oschersleben , from 1990 to 1994 district of Oschersleben , from 1994 to 2007 of the Börde district , since July 1, 2007 part of the district of Börde.

railroad

The Magdeburg-Halberstadt Railway Company opened the first section of its Magdeburg – Thale line on July 15, 1843 from Magdeburg via Oschersleben to Halberstadt . At the same time, the Ducal Braunschweig State Railroad built the main line from Oschersleben to Wolfenbüttel . Together with other routes, the first continuously passable railway connection between Berlin and the Ruhr area was created via Oschersleben . The Jerxheim – Börßum line, completed in 1868, shortened the connection to the small Kreiensen railway junction . The railway required a large number of workers for construction and operation and brought further economic growth.

AGO aircraft works

In the 1930s, made AGO 200 Arado Ar 66 as under license
From October 1941 to the end of January 1945, AGO built 3,454 Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighters in various versions

During the First World War , a plant owned by the Munich stock corporation Gustav Otto was located in Oschersleben , which manufactured parts for aircraft manufacturers, but had to cease operations after the end of the war. In the 1920s the Sudenburger Maschinenfabrik und Eisengießerei AG had a branch there, which went bankrupt in 1930.

After the seizure of the Nazi Party emerged in the wake of the Wehrmacht rearmament under the code name Apparatebau GmbH Oschersleben (later AGO Flugzeugwerke a work for) on the site under license of aircraft for the Air Force .

The first machines there were still biplanes : 36 Arado Ar 65 , 197 Arado Ar 66 trainer aircraft and 77 Heinkel He 51 . This was followed by 140 Henschel Hs 123 dive combat aircraft , with which the all-metal construction was also introduced at AGO, as well as 241 Gotha Go 145 and 223  Arado Ar 96 training aircraft . The production of the reconnaissance aircraft Henschel Hs 126 ended in May 1941 with the delivery of the last of a total of 380 machines built. Between March 1937 and the same month of the following year, 121 Focke-Wulf Fw 44 training aircraft also left the AGO workshops. At the beginning of 1938, the first modern Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter aircraft came into production, initially in the Bf 109 D (128 units), then E (80 machines) and F (380 units), until finally from October 1941 the Focke Wulf Fw 190 in their continuously improved versions formed the main part of the production. 3,454 Fw 190s left the factory by the end of January 1945.

During the Second World War , several hundred prisoners of war and people abducted from the countries occupied by the Wehrmacht had to do forced labor at AGO in Oschersleben . At least 71 people lost their lives, many to bombs.

Because of the important aircraft factory, the city was a target of American air raids six times from July 1943 to June 1944 during the aerial warfare of the Second World War . 148 people were killed, 300 injured and thousands homeless.

At the end of the war in early May 1945, the plant showed severe damage; 80% of it was destroyed. This was followed by dismantling and transporting everything that could still be used to the USSR, especially from the branch plants in Hadmersleben and Bleiche. By 1947 the remains of the factory buildings were blown up by Soviet soldiers and in 1950 the company was deleted from the commercial register. The Motorsport Arena Oschersleben is now located on the former AGO site .

Buildings

The town's architectural monuments are entered in Oschersleben's list of monuments.

Some of the remains of Oschersleben Castle have been preserved. Other historical buildings are the baroque town hall Oschersleben from 1691, the neo-Gothic Protestant Nikolaikirche from 1881, whose late Gothic west building with two towers was built around 1400, and the Catholic Church of St. Mary, built between 1867 and 1869, with a plague cross (14th century) and a halo Madonna (15th century ). The New Apostolic Church is more recent.

To the east of the city is the ruined tower of the Peseckendorfer Warte in an open field .

Stephan Walter's Sower (1914), who barely escaped a smelting operation in World War II, is now a landmark of the city. It is sold to tourists as a small copy. It symbolizes the fertile soil of the Börde. With the Wiesenpark Oschersleben , the city has a zoo.

Memorials

  • OdF memorial in Hermann-Krebs-Strasse for the victims of fascism , converted after 1990 for victims of war and tyranny.

Sports

The largest sports club at the moment is Oscherslebener SC 1990 . This association was founded after the reunification of Motor / Vorwärts Oschersleben. In addition to soccer, he offers various other sports such as basketball, volleyball, table tennis and bowling.

Race in the Motorsport Arena

In 1997, a 3.7 km long permanent motorsport racetrack was opened in the eastern part of the city of Oschersleben. The Motorsport Arena Oschersleben offers not only the economic aspect, but also a supra-regional attraction for motorsport fans. There are z. B. DTM and WTCC races. In order to make the races more attractive for spectators, the first corner was slowed down in 2007 and an additional overtaking option was added. This should lead to more exciting battles for positions. The world's largest meeting of Opel fans takes place every year in the Motorsport Arena . In 2010 over 65,000 visitors came with almost 20,000 vehicles.

Economy and Infrastructure

Companies

In the GDR , Oschersleben was heavily influenced by agriculture in the Börderegion, but some industrial companies also settled there. This also included a pump factory that still exists today. The Bördekreis formed with the district reform in 1994 (consisting of the old districts of Wanzleben and Oschersleben ) merged on July 1, 2007 with the Ohrekreis to form the Börde district , based in Haldensleben . Oschersleben thus lost the status of a district town.

The hospital, which was founded in 1894, merged in 1996 with the district hospital of the old district of Wanzleben to form the Bördeklinik. The new building in the Neindorf district was opened in 2002, and the clinic was privatized in 2006. In 2014, the Bördeklinik, a regular provider with around 200 beds, came under the sponsorship of the Helios Kliniken .

As the first company to settle in Oschersleben after reunification , Kebotherm GmbH & Co.KG began producing windows and doors in a plant on Anderslebener Strasse in 1991, followed in 1997 by a second plant on Pfefferbach.

In 1992, Agrarfrost built a potato processing plant for the production of French fries and potato chips . The plant processes over 140,000 tons of potatoes annually.

In July 1997, the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben was inaugurated as a multifunctional racing track on the eastern edge of the city. With the attached commercial area as well as an integrated hotel and the campsite, new jobs could be created.
