Semmel (Magdeburg)
The Semmel is an agricultural area of the Feldmark west of the Westerhüsen district, which today belongs to the city of Magdeburg .
Although historically part of the district of Westerhüsen, the area is now assigned to the Salbke district . The roll is located north of the road connecting Westerhüsen with Beyendorf-Sohlen , west of the path branching off from it to the Sohlener mountains . To the west, the parcel is bounded by the individual building of a former brickworks and the former clay pit behind it. The Großer Riesenberg hill rises to the northwest .
The meaning of the unusual field name is not entirely clear. It is believed that the name may be derived from the shape of the parcel. However, a derivation from the old term same or sammeling in the sense of totality or assembly is also conceivable . The area could then have been used as a common meadow that was shared by the villagers.
