Tornau belongs to the locality Insel and is a village and a district of the city of Stendal in the Altmark in Saxony-Anhalt .

location

The place, laid out as a street village in north-south direction, is located west of Stendal. A little further south is Döbbelin .

history

The first documentary mention under the name "Tornow" is for the year 1238. That year, Count Siegfried von Osterburg leased half of Tornau from the Ludgerikloster in Helmstedt . A knightly von Tornow family was mentioned in the 13th century . Subsequently, however, the place often changed hands. After heavy destruction in the Thirty Years War , the place was rebuilt. Here, however, the local situation changed somewhat. Foundation stones were found 200 meters north of today's village. In 1910 the population of Tornau was 231 people.

An old pond leads to the assumption that it was part of the defense system of a castle complex. A preserved medieval residential tower dates from around 1238 .

On July 1, 1973, the previously independent municipality of Tornau was incorporated into Insel. Together with Insel, the place then became part of Stendal on September 1, 2010.

Today's Tornau village church was built in 1836 on the site of a previous building. It is in the local cemetery. To the west of the village is the historic Tornau post mill .
