The first written mention of Osterburg comes from the year 1157 by Albrecht the Bear . In a certificate by Albrecht issued to advertise on the Elbe on October 3 of this year, in which he describes himself for the first time as Margrave of Brandenburg, a Count Werner von Osterburg appears among the witnesses. Albrecht's sister Adelheid had married Werner from the Swabian family of the noble lords of Veltheim after the death of her first husband, Count Heinrich von Stade, Margrave of the North Mark , who died in 1128 . In 1170, Count Albrecht von Osterburg founded the Benedictine monastery in Krevese . In 1188, the St. Nicholas Church in Osterburg was consecrated . In 1208 Osterburg has city rights. The last Osterburg count from the Veltheim family was Siegfried von Osterburg, who died around 1238 . In the 13th century, the city came into the possession of the Margraves of Brandenburg. In the period from 1436 to 1478 Osterburg belonged to the Hanseatic League .
During the Thirty Years War , the city was looted several times and devastated in 1644.
In 1761 two thirds of the city burned down.
Osterburg became the county seat of the district of Osterburg in 1816 . In 1849 it was connected to the railroad from Magdeburg to Hamburg , around the same time Osterburg was connected by Chausseen with Stendal , Wittenberge and Bismark (Altmark) .
In the town there were manufacturing companies for the products of the Altmark agriculture. But tin goods were also produced here. In 1929 August Huchel established Osterburg's reputation as an asparagus town when he founded the German Asparagus Cultivation Society . During the time of the German Democratic Republic there were two branches of the Rathenower Optical Works and the Roter Stern Burg shoe factory , which mainly gave work to hundreds of women.
