Reinstedt was first mentioned in a document under the name Reinstede in 964 as part of the foundation of the Margrave Gero for the Gernrode virgin monastery . Reinstedt had been a member of the Falkenstein / Harz administrative association since 1992, which was converted into a town on January 1, 2002. The town of Falkenstein / Harz has been part of the Harz district since July 2007.

St. Laurentii Church

The parish church of St. Laurentii was rebuilt in the years 1847-1851 as the third church in the late classicist style. As early as 1175, Duke Heinrich the Lion destroyed the place and the church. On May 29, 1525, during the Peasant War , the church was destroyed again. Inside the church is very simple. The organ is functional. The church windows were renovated in 2011/2012. In 2017/2018 the top of the church tower was given its ball again and the slate roof was renovated.

The public transport is secured by bus lines of the roundabout company Salzland and Harzer Verkehrsbetriebe to Quedlinburg, Aschersleben and Ballenstedt .

European cycle route R1

The European cycle route R1 runs through Reinstedt on the way from Boulogne-sur-Mer in France to St. Petersburg in Russia . It connects nine European countries over a distance of more than 3500 kilometers.

A place for clubs and events was created in the former school with the cultural center . The city of Falkenstein / Harz invested more than 580,000 euros in this. The opening took place in early May 2014.

Special events

Centennial flood on April 13, 1994

For months in 1994 it had rained twice as much as usual. A renewed onset of winter and the low pressure area “Pallas”, which melted the snow quickly, meant that the dam of the soil system overflowed for the first time in its history . Due to the inflow of dozens of streams in the catchment area of the Selke, the level swelled a hundredfold in a short time. Reinstedt and the neighboring towns sank in the floods. The district of Aschersleben declared the catastrophe “ flood of the century ”. Plans by the State Office for Flood Protection provide for the construction of a twelve to 15 meter high dam southwest of Meisdorf .

Regular events

Pentecost: local festival with trench fish

Trench fishing, first mentioned in a document in 1563, traditionally takes place every year on Whit Monday. Eleven men with top hats on their heads, adorned with a peony and a brightly colored bandana, try - sliding on their knees and whatever the weather - to catch brown trout that were previously released in the Mühlgraben with their hands. Whoever pulls the largest specimen ashore after 700 m will be named Fish King for one year.

Similar to trench fishing, “arboriculture” has a long tradition on Pentecost Saturday. An arbor is built from branches and tree trunks in front of the “Prinz von Anhalt” bar. On Whit Monday the parade then moves through the place, which takes a break in front of the door of the club members and serenades them.

Harz Agricultural Festival

Every year since 1998, the Harz Agricultural Festival has been held in Reinstedt on the last Sunday in June. There was u. a. Animal breeding competitions with an annual changing focus and an exhibition on modern and historical harvesting technology. Direct marketers offered their products at a farmers 'market and the state farmers' association provided information about prospects in green professions. A large show program always rounded off the event. Big and small animals could be seen. 10,000 visitors were counted annually. The patron was the Minister for Agriculture and Environment of Saxony-Anhalt. In 2020, the event had to be canceled for the first time in 22 years due to the corona pandemic . At the beginning of July 2020 it became known that this traditional event will no longer take place in Reinstedt in the future.

Shooting festival

Every year on the second weekend in August, the three-day shooting festival of the Reinstedter Schützenverein 1702 eV takes place. On Saturday there is a parade through the village.
