history

In 1378 Schlagenthin was first mentioned as Slantyn . At the end of the 16th century , the forests around the place were cleared to gain arable land. In 1766, Prince Ferdinand of Prussia bought the village of Schlagenthin for 100,000 Reichstaler. In 1899 the Genthin - Milow small railway was inaugurated, which was in operation until 1967 and then was demolished.

During the Second World War, there was a beacon system for the German Air Force in the area of ​​the current residential area Neue Häuser . It served to indicate the direction to Berlin .

Until 1952 Schlagenthin was in the district of Jerichow II , Saxony-Anhalt. After the dissolution of the countries and the formation of the districts and counties in the GDR Schlagenthin belonged to Magdeburg district , county Genthin . In 1994 the state of Saxony-Anhalt carried out an administrative reform and since then Schlagenthin has belonged to the newly formed district of Jerichower Land.

On May 14, 2009, the municipal council of Schlagenthin decided to dissolve itself by means of a territorial change agreement and to unite with 11 other municipalities to form a new unified municipality 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” .

badges and flags

Old seal of the municipality of Schlagenthin

The coat of arms was created by the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch and approved by the district on August 11, 2008.

Blazon : "In the golden shield with angled blue wavy bar a large silver heart shield, inside a green oak on a green mountain, the mountain topped with a silver-bordered red rose with golden clusters and green sepals."

The blue wavy bar symbolizes the Stremme river, which in Slavic prehistoric times was certainly a reason for people to settle in this place.

The oak on the mountain refers to the "Eichberg", which, according to legend, was piled up by the mythical woman Harke . Mrs. Harke was angry about the Christianization of the people who were baptized and built churches. She took her apron full of sand and flew against Beatthin. But before that her robe tore, the sand fell down and formed the Eichberg. This was previously used to mine gravel for the construction of the small railway and still exists today.

The rose in the coat of arms is also associated with the legend of the "Rose von Schlagenthin".

Schlagenthin's colors are: blue - gold (yellow).

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

Historical coat of arms

The municipality of Schlagenthin already had a seal image similar to a coat of arms in its municipality seal. This was used in the period after the district was renamed Genthin from 1950 until around the introduction of the districts and districts in the GDR in 1952.

Legend of the "Rose von Schlagenthin"

In May 1603 a daughter was born to the landlord Jochen von Treskow and baptized with the name Anne Dorothea, but she was only called "Röschen" everywhere. So Röschen fell in love with a young priest who had moved in, Rolf Gerhardt, who had previously saved her life when wolves were attacked. The young love, however, was hopeless, because Röschen was promised to a gentleman of higher rank. Still, the lovers met secretly and had a good time. Marauding mercenaries slew the young man one day, which Röschen could never get over. Again and again she went to his grave with flowers - also on the day when she was found dead with a bouquet of roses next to her lover's resting place.
