Rochau is a municipality in the Stendal district in Saxony-Anhalt . It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde Arneburg-Goldbeck , which has its administrative seat in the municipality of Goldbeck .

geography

The municipality of Rochau is nine kilometers south of Osterburg and 17 kilometers northwest of Stendal in the Altmark . Rochau is a street village with a church.

Rochau is surrounded by the neighboring municipalities of Osterburg (Altmark) in the north, Goldbeck in the northeast, Eichstedt (Altmark) in the southeast, Stendal in the south and Bismark (Altmark) in the west.

Community structure

The municipality of Rochau includes the five districts Rochau with Wilhelminenhof (3 kilometers southwest), Häsewig with old brickworks, Klein Schwechten , Schartau and Ziegenhagen . The “Black Path” in Rochau reminds us today that the eastern part of Rochau used to be a separate village called “ Schwarzenhagen ”.

history

The village is mentioned for the first time in 1238 as villa Rocgawe (vel Roggau) or villa Rotgawe , as Count Siegfried von Osterburg villages and possessions in the Altmark, with which he had previously been enfeoffed by the St. Ludgerikloster Helmstedt , Abbot Gerhard von Werden and Helmstedt overwritten. In 1349 a meadow between villas rogghow et Scynne was sold to the pastor of Schinne. In the Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg of 1375 the village is listed as Rochow . Other mentions are 1687 Rochow and 1804 Rochau village with forge and windmill.

As part of a devotion in the Rochau church on June 14, 2013, accompanied by the church choir and the Dobberkau hunting horn group, the 775th anniversary of the place was commemorated. Pastor Margret Lipschütz gave the address and recalled the numerous wars, e.g. For example, the 30 Years and the Seven Years' War that passed through the village and the fact that at that time the soldiers did not come to fill sandbags. The soldiers of the Panzergrenadier Battalion 411 from Viereck near Pasewalk, who were housed in the village during the flood operation in 2013, laid wreaths at the memorial for the fallen in the Rochau cemetery.

coat of arms

Approved August 11, 1998

Blazon : “obliquely square; above in silver 3 (2: 1) black Roche, below in silver a black torn fir tree. In front a silver plow in red, behind in red a silver gear. "

The upper quarter refers on the one hand to the old landlord family (v. Rochow) and on the other hand it is an allusion to the place name (Roch = Rochau). The black fir is reminiscent of the incorporated district of Schwarzenhagen. The plow and cog indicate the current situation and represent Rochau as an agricultural community in which agriculture and agricultural engineering can be found. The coat of arms was designed in 1998 on behalf of the municipality by the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch .

The community colors are white and red.

Culture and sights

Evangelical village church with cemetery
War memorial in the cemetery
  • The Protestant village church of Rochau is a late Romanesque field stone building in the middle of a cemetery, which is surrounded by a field stone wall. To the north of the high entrance of the west tower, oak beams are embedded in the wall, one of which is mortised inside with a wooden wedge. As on medieval defense towers, a wooden extension could perhaps have been attached in the form of a hurdle . A dendrological investigation dated the felling date of the oak collar beam roof of the tower to 1198 ± 10. The building is at the highest point on the northern edge of the former street village. The tower has a decidedly defensive character.
  • In Rochau there is a memorial for the fallen of the First and Second World Wars, the middle part of which consists of granite blocks in the form of a temple with an embedded plaque. It is flanked by two black granite pillars.
  • In neighboring Klein Schwechten there is also a late Romanesque stone church, the Evangelical village church of Klein Schwechten .

Events

The Rochau Carnevals Association (RCG) "Rochau es lacht" has been organizing the carnival in the Rochau multi-purpose hall every year since 1965. The Lindenfest, which takes place every year in June on the sports field, is organized by the Rochauer Sportverein.

  • Two sports facilities are used by a sports club.
  • A couple has been running an agricultural business since 1992. In 2011 they employed nine people. The team cultivates around 700 hectares of land and thus also supplies the around 200 dairy cows.
  • The company's biogas plant generates electricity and supplies the village with heat via a local heating network.
