history

Potzehne was originally a round village , which was later expanded to a street village.

The village was first mentioned in 1458 as Putzene . In 1554 it was called Pozehn and in 1687 it was named Potzehne . The historian Rohrlach pointed out that the assignment of the documents ville putgoriz, potgorizi from 1135 to Potzehne by Hermes and Weigel is not justified.

During the land reform in 1945, 227 hectares were expropriated and divided between a poor farmer, seven landless farmers and five resettlers. In 1959 the first type III agricultural production cooperative, the LPG "Einheit", was established.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality Parleib was incorporated into the Gardelegen district .

By means of an area change agreement, the municipal council of the municipality of Potzehne decided on May 20, 2009 that the municipality of Potzehne should be incorporated into the Hanseatic city of Gardelegen. This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on January 1, 2010.

After the previously independent municipality of Potzehne was incorporated, Potzehne and Parleib became districts of the Hanseatic city of Gardelegen. The local constitution was introduced for the incorporated municipality in accordance with §§ 86 ff. Municipality code of Saxony-Anhalt . The incorporated municipality of Potzehne and the future districts of Potzehne and Parleib became part of the receiving Hanseatic city of Gardelegen. In the incorporated community and now Potzehne, a local council with seven members including the local mayor was formed.

Coat of arms in GDR times

Blazon : "In green three silver ears with awns."

The coat of arms was designed in 1996 by the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch and included in the approval process. He went back to a coat of arms proposed by the village club of the municipality in GDR times and revised it according to heraldic rules and customs. It should also refer to the regional grain cultivation.
