geography

The area of ​​the Serno district in Hohen Fläming , which is 80 percent covered by forest, extends from the state border with Brandenburg to the valley of the upper Rossel . Serno lies between Coswig (Anhalt) and Wiesenburg / Mark . Near the neighboring town of Göritz, the relief reaches a height of 181 meters.

history

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent communities of Göritz and Grochewitz were incorporated.

On July 1, 2007, the formerly independent municipality of Serno was incorporated into the Wittenberg district due to a district reform of the former Anhalt-Zerbst district.

politics

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved by the district on March 19, 2008 and registered in the Magdeburg State Archives under the coat of arms roll number 9/2008.

Blazon : "Divided by silver and green, at the top a black boar with red tusks, at the bottom between two silver oak leaves trailing the edge of the shield, three bars of silver vertical clapboard, the middle one is extended."

Serno carried a picture seal that shows a boar (wild boar) in front of a tree. In its present form, this seal image could not be used for a coat of arms because this motif had already been assigned (Wörlitz 1994, Roxförde 1996) As the municipality wanted to be based on the old seal image in such a way that it could be approved, a redesign was necessary carried out by the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch . The boar remained the central figure in the coat of arms. In addition, in the sense of pars pro toto, oak leaves and the special feature for the town of Serno - the bells for the church, a technical masterpiece - have been added.

flag

The flag is striped green and white. The municipal coat of arms is placed in the middle of the flag.
