Recel 1335

history

The place name is of Slavic origin and means something like "by the waters". It appeared for the first time in 1335 as Recel and developed through Recele (1340), Retzle (1345), Ritzel (1459) and Reitzel (1562) to today's place name. The Slavic name indicates that the village already existed in the 8th century at the latest. The village belonged to the Grabow office , which had been owned by the von Wulffen family since the beginning of the 14th century . In 1540 Rietzel passed in part to the von Plotho family . Until 1773 Rietzel was subordinate to the Brandenburg Zauchekreis and then came to the Ziesarschen Kreis in the Duchy of Magdeburg . When there was another structural change, the Jerichow I district was responsible, from which the Jerichow I district later developed with the district town of Burg, which existed until 1952. In 1910 Rietzel had 294 inhabitants, the number of which decreased to 259 by 1939. In 1964, 264 people lived in the village.

Rietzel was part of the Möckern-Loburg-Fläming administrative community until 2009 . Until December 31, 2009 Rietzel was an independent municipality and the last mayor was Horst Pötter. On January 1, 2010 Rietzel was incorporated into the city of Möckern .

religion

Church in Rietzel

The Protestant church of Rietzel was built in the middle of the 13th century from field stones in the late Romanesque style. A narrower, square choir was added to the nave . Some of the small arched windows have retained their original shape. The semicircular apse was renewed in 1704 in half-timbered construction. The western brick gable and the half-timbered tower built above it are also alterations from the 19th century. The inside of the nave is spanned by a flat wooden ceiling, which is decorated with stencil paintings. A gallery is attached to the west wall . The auricular- style wooden altarpiece framed by columns dates from 1694. It is decorated with two paintings (Last Supper and Crucifixion) and bears the coat of arms of the von Wulffen family. The octagonal font was made of cast iron in the classical style. The organ was built by the Neuhaldensleber organ builder August Tesch and was brought to the Rietzel church in 1881.

The Lutheran parish is now looked after by the Grabow rectory , Elbe-Fläming parish , Provostspengel Stendal-Magdeburg of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved by the district on February 25, 2008.

Blazon : "In blue a curved golden tip, in front three golden ears, behind a golden oak branch with leaves and two acorns, the tip is covered with a blue horseshoe with square nail holes turning up the studs."

Rietzel's colors are: blue-yellow.

The symbolism of the coat of arms in the coat of arms shown here is linked to three essential factors: agriculture and forestry, which have been economic factors for centuries to this day, and cavalry. In the past the horse was important for agriculture and as a means of transport, today it also plays a role for equestrian enthusiasts, because Rietzel has riding arenas and stables. These conditions are symbolized by the ears of wheat, the oak branch and the fallen horseshoe in the coat of arms.

The place name is of Slavic origin and means something like "by the waters". It appears for the first time in 1335 as Recel and developed through Recele (1340), Retzle (1345), Ritzel (1459) and Reitzel (1562) to today's place name. Following the place name, blue was chosen as the shield color in connection with water.

The coat of arms was designed by the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch .

flag

The flag is blue - yellow - blue (1: 4: 1) striped (horizontal shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and is centered with the coat of arms.
