history

Rottersdorf was first mentioned in a document in 937 . At that time it belonged to the county of a Count Thietmar , which as the Magdeburg Mark was part of the northern Thuringia region, which was subordinate to Count Gero . On May 15, 1013, lightning struck a church built from red wood by Otto I at the gates of Magdeburg. The church was destroyed. The thunderstorm wreaked further havoc in the region. This church should have been in Rottersdorf. According to another tradition, the Rottersdorf church was destroyed in a feud with Margrave Bernhard .

In the course of a military conflict due to the imposition of the imperial ban on Magdeburg, troops besieging Magdeburg invaded Rottersdorf in 1547. On May 28, 1547 a fire in Rottersdorf was observed from the Magdeburg city ​​walls . This destruction and the great siege of Magdeburg in 1550 and 1551 during the Schmalkaldic War should have devastated Rottersdorf so completely that it was not rebuilt.

In the records of the Berge monastery , which had possessions in the village, Rottersdorf is listed as desolate in 1559 and 1562 .

Today the old municipality belongs to the Magdeburg districts of Sudenburg, Altstadt and Leipziger Straße and is built on urban areas. The Ministry of the Interior of the State of Saxony-Anhalt and a green area are located in the presumed center of the village .
