history

Old coat of arms of the district town of Staßfurt (1960–1990)

In the year 806 the first (secured) document mention of Staßfurt (in the early Middle Ages the village of Alt-Staßfurt was only called Staßfurt) took place in connection with an invitation by Emperor Charlemagne to the abbot Fulrad of St. Quentin to hold an army meeting in Starasfurt on the Bode . The interpretation of the name is based on a combination of the Old Slavic word for old (staraja) with the Old High German word Furt (crossing point). The importance of Staßfurt in the Middle Ages was due to its location on this ford through the Bode. The old trade and salt route from Lüneburg to Halle / Saale ran along here. The village of Alt-Staßfurt north of the Bode was securely and spiritually subordinate to the ore monastery of Magdeburg . In the 11th century the castle (fortification) was built south of the Bode. As early as 1180, the Staßfurt settlement area south of the Bode within the defensive walls was granted city rights. The city of Staßfurt was secularly owned by the Counts of Anhalt until 1277 . The descendants of Albrecht the Bear and Dukes of Saxony, Johann I and Albrecht II, had invested so much effort in celebrating their accolade that on July 8, 1276, they also turned over the city of Staßfurt, which they owned, to settle their debts had to pledge Archbishop Konrad II of Magdeburg. Since the dukes could not pay the high debt of 6,000 silver marks within a year, Staßfurt fell to the ore monastery of Magdeburg from 1277 onwards. As a so-called Immediatstadt , Staßfurt was directly subordinate to the Brandenburg-Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg from 1680 and was in the Holzkreis until 1807 . From 1815, Alt-Staßfurt and the city of Staßfurt in the administrative district of Magdeburg belonged to the province of Saxony and remained on Prussian territory until the dissolution of the Prussian state in 1947.

During the Second World War , the subcamp of the Buchenwald Staßfurt I / Neustaßfurt concentration camp (code name "Reh") was built on September 13, 1944 between Löderburg-Lust and Atzendorf , in which 459 prisoners, mostly from France , took part in the underground relocation of Ernst Heinkel AG together with Polish concentration camp prisoners had to work under extremely poor conditions, with between 300 and 380 losing their lives. Another subcamp existed in Leopoldshall from December 28, 1944. Both camps were evacuated on April 11, 1945 with a death march . The Little Boy atomic bomb, which exploded over Hiroshima on August 6, contained 64 kilograms of uranium. At least part of the uranium allegedly came from the approximately 1,100 tons of uranium ore and uranium oxide that the Americans had seized in Staßfurt in the second half of April 1945.

From 1952 to 1994 Staßfurt was the district town of the Staßfurt district in the GDR district and later the administrative district of Magdeburg . With the district reform in 1994, the new Aschersleben-Staßfurt district with the new district town of Aschersleben was formed by merging the Aschersleben and Staßfurt districts . In the course of the district reform in 2007, Staßfurt moved to the newly formed Salzlandkreis .

The SWAPO sent during the independence struggles in South West Africa in the 1980s children to education and training in the GDR . At the beginning of 1990 there were 291 such children at the School of Friendship in Staßfurt. They were brought back in August 1990 - together with 134 small children from Bellin - to the now independent and SWAPO-ruled Namibia .

During the GDR era, the two prefabricated housing estates “Leninring” (today “Nord”) and “Am Tierpark” were built, while the building fabric of the inner city - provided it did not have to be demolished due to mountain damage - increasingly fell into disrepair. Only the urban redevelopment carried out since 1991 led to a trend reversal.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In the shield divided by red and silver, St. John the Baptist in a golden robe, pointing with his right to the lamb of God carried on his left arm with the flag of the cross."

The city colors are red and white, the colors of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg . These basic colors were also retained when a new coat of arms was introduced on June 21, 1960 during the time of the GDR. This was "square of 1: 4 red and 2: 3 silver, inside a combined blue wheel, above the division as a pulley with a conveyor rope running diagonally downwards to the edge of the shield, below designed as a gear wheel, covered with an upright golden ear, this in turn with a silver retort ”. This was to symbolize the city's most important economic sectors. With the end of the GDR, the city council decided on June 1, 1990 to return to the old coat of arms. However, this was not confirmed by the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Saxony-Anhalt in 1994, as it was seen as a violation of the principles of heraldry. Thereupon the towers (battlements) were dispensed with and the color of the robe was changed from red to gold. This new coat of arms was approved by the city council on March 19, 1995 and subsequently confirmed by the Ministry of the Interior.

After the first potash shafts in the world had been brought down, Staßfurt experienced an enormous economic boom through mining - regulated and controlled by the German Potash Association , located in Leopoldshall , just a stone's throw away, since 1890 - and the chemical industry located there. The downside of the boom is the damage caused by the mountains in the urban area, which led to the demolition of large parts of the city center. A sinkhole created a lake in the south-east of the city, which serves as a bath under the name Strandsolbad. The city is making since the turn of u. a. As part of the urban redevelopment, a lot of commitment was made to mitigate the consequences (creation of a lake in the city center with upgrading of the surrounding area as a contribution to the IBA Urban Redevelopment 2010). In addition, areas of the - in the meantime recultivated - heaps are occupied with remains of mining and chemical production.

Staßfurt was the location of the largest television equipment factory in the GDR ( Kombinat VEB RFT ) with 4,000 employees, which emerged from the Staßfurter Rundfunk GmbH (equipment brand : Imperial ) founded in 1932 . In the center of the former factory site (today TLG industrial park, see below), TechniSat Teledigital GmbH now produces television sets and satellite receivers.

Staßfurt was not spared from the economic upheavals after 1989; For years, unemployment has also been above average compared to the national value - although there has been a clear increase in jobs since the early 1990s. The manufacturing industry - with Sodawerk Staßfurt GmbH & Co. KG as the largest employer - is still the basis of the Staßfurt economy.

Since the turn of 1989/90, the 19 existing and newly designated industrial and commercial areas have for the most part been completely redeveloped and connected to one another by the newly developed “Gewerbering” road link. The Gewerbering is connected to the A 14 Magdeburg – Halle and the B6n Goslar – Wernigerode – Bernburg by well-developed feeder roads.

The most recent business infrastructure project was completed in 2006: the revitalization of the former television equipment factory - now the TLG industrial park in Staßfurt. The plan is to revitalize the Neu-Staßfurt industrial area.

Residential area

With its districts and residential areas, Staßfurt has a varied housing structure, which was also shaped in the period from 1960 to 1980 by a housing policy of the GDR with prefabricated housing estates on the outskirts. Some buildings had to give way due to mining, but today there are no more gaps in the city center to be seen.

The prefabricated buildings Am Tierpark in the Leopoldshall and Leninring district (today Staßfurt-Nord ), in the Altstaßfurt district, built after 1960, were partially dismantled after 1995 as a result of demographic developments.
