In the mud, the Great Break , Count Stefan von Regenstein perished in 933 under King Heinrich I in the great battle against the predatory Huns , as the Hungarians were then called. His wife Theuthelinde built a small wooden chapel here in his memory, the first building in Schlanstedt. Later a son built a permanent house to the west of it , the actual Schlanstedt Castle , which still stands today.

The earliest verifiable mention of Slansteten dates back to the year 1056, when Pope Victor II confirmed ownership of the monastery of Saint Simon and Juda in Goslar . There are other mentions from the years 1084, when the Huysburg monastery in Slanstidde received half a hoof and in 1193 as the monastery “Our Lady” in Slonstide two and a half hooves. Due to its location, Schlanstedt Castle dominated the region between Huy and the Bruche from its hill; until 1344 the Counts of Regenstein took possession of the castle and village. In the 14th century, the Halberstadt canons chased the Regenstein Counts from the castle and transformed it into a Renaissance castle.

On November 1, 1928, the Schlanstedt manor district was partially united with the rural community Schlanstedt (Domain Schlanstedt) and the rural community Neuwegersleben (Vorwerk Neudamm).

On April 1, 2002, the community Schlanstedt formed the new community Huy together with the other ten communities of the dissolved administrative community Huy .

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on August 21, 1995 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.

Blazon : “In red a tinned silver wall with a closed golden gate, behind it a tinned silver central tower ascending; Crossed over the archway is a black sword and a black tournament lance with the golden handles pointing downwards, on the golden lance tip a red and silver tassel, covered with a golden helmet adorned with three vertical silver and red feathers; the tower is covered with a silver-red split shield lying diagonally to the right. "

The coat of arms is a heraldic revision of a common old, not confirmed municipal coat of arms. The silver wall and the crenellated tower symbolize Schlanstedt Castle, located in the center of the village. First mentioned in 1056, in 1349 owned by the Counts of Regenstein as "castrum Slanstedde", the castle passed into the possession of the cathedral chapter of Halberstadt in the second half of the 14th century. The colors white-red of the crest and the lance tassel, as well as the occupation of the tower with a sloping shield in the Halberstadt colors, testify to the latter. The covering of the wall with a helmet, sword and tournament lance and the closed gate symbolize Schlanstedts former strength and alludes to the legend of the "murder of the temple gentlemen", after the 1311 under Count Heinrich von Regenstein twelve temple lords after a meal in the "red temple lords' room" Schlanstedt Castle were killed by his men.

The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg heraldist Erika Fiedler .
