history

Roßdorf, a village of Wendish origin, was mentioned for the first time in 1368 in the loan book of the Magdeburg bishops as "Radestorp". The name originally means "cleared village" and is derived from the origin of the village when the swamp forests were cleared and arable land was created.

On May 28th, 2009 the local council of Roßdorf decided to dissolve itself by means of an area change agreement and to unite with 11 other communities to form a new unified community called the city ​​of Jerichow . This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on January 1, 2010.

At the same time, the Elbe-Stremme-Fiener administrative community ceased to exist, as all former member communities merged to form the new unified community “City of Jerichow” .

The last mayor of Roßdorf was Rudolf Drescher.
