Polkern belongs to the village of Krevese and is part of the Hanseatic city of Osterburg (Altmark) in the district of Stendal in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

Polkern, a street village with a church, is located 2.5 kilometers northeast of Krevese and about 5 kilometers northwest of Osterburg in the Dequede district on the eastern, steeply sloping edge of the "Eastern edge of the Arendsee plateau" in the Altmark .

The Altmarkrundkurs long-distance cycle path leads through the village in a north-south direction. The highest point is the 73.3 meter high Fromms-Berg in Krumker Holz, one kilometer south of the village. The mountain belongs to the Rossower Mountains, which extend north to Barsberge .

Neighboring towns are Dequede and Röthenberg in the west, Drüsedau and Lindhof in the north, Behrend in the northeast, Kalandshofen and Osterburg in the southeast, Krumke in the south and Krevese in the southwest.

history

The first mention of the village of Polkern comes from the year 1235 as in villa Polcre , when the margraves Johann and Otto carried out an exchange of goods with the Arendsee monastery . Further mentions are 1551 poles , 1687 poles and 1804 poles .

Agriculture

During the land reform in 1945, the following were determined: 17 properties under 100 hectares had a total of 393 hectares, two church properties had a total of 13 hectares, and a parish had 1 hectare. A farm with 100.9 hectares was expropriated and divided. In 1948, four full settlers each acquired over 5 hectares and 53 small settlers each less than 5 hectares from the land reform. In February 1953 the first type III agricultural production cooperative, the LPG " Karl Marx ", was established. The five remaining individual farmers united in 1960 under considerable political pressure to form the LPG "Auf dem Berge". As a result, there were further mergers. Polkern became one of the locations of the inter-cooperative facility "ZGE pig production Ballerstedt."

Prehistory and Archeology

The megalithic stone graves near Polkern were destroyed in the 19th century. A group of burial mounds near Polkern was dated to the Roman Empire. Salvaged grave ditches, such as a wide-bodied ceramic bowl and a narrow-bodied pot, are inventoried in the Osterburg district museum .

In 1897 a silver treasure was found in Polkern. This included 152 Lower Elbian Agrippines and hacked silver . The coins were buried around 1120. The circumstances of the find are not recorded. In 1906 Paul Kupka described silver jewelry implements made from corals and topaz stones , which at the time were kept in the museum in Stendal . The coins had been sent to a museum in Berlin.

Origin of the place name

Ernst Haetge wrote in 1938, derived from “pol-criv”, “pole” could stand for “the field”, “criv” for “hunchback, hilly”. The "v" could have worn off.
