history

Slavs settled in the area of ​​today's town between the 7th and 10th centuries . On May 4, 945, the settlement was first mentioned in writing in a deed of donation from Frankish King Otto I under the name "tribunice". Still under the name “Drogebutz”, it came into the possession of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg and was subordinated to the Divine Grace Monastery, three kilometers away . In the 13th century, the inhabitants built a church out of rubble stones, the nave of which was extended around 1500. After the secularization of the monastery, Trabitz received the status of an independent official village in 1562. After the Thirty Years War , the agricultural village came under Brandenburg-Prussian rule in 1648 . After Napoleon's victory over Prussia, Trabitz came to the French-ruled Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 and was administered by the canton of Calbe in the Magdeburg district. In 1813 Trabitz returned to Prussia after the Battle of Leipzig . With the Prussian administrative reform of 1815, the place was incorporated into the Calbe district. The two railway lines Magdeburg-Leipzig (since 1840) and Berlin-Güsten (1879) took an unfavorable course for Trabitz, as the next train stations in Calbe and Sachsendorf were set up more than five kilometers away. In 1910 Trabitz had 231 inhabitants, the number of which reached its peak in 1933 with 285 inhabitants. At the beginning of the Second World War , the population had already fallen back to 259 in 1939. In April 1945 Trabitz was captured by the US Army , but three months later it was handed over to the Red Army . After the Soviet occupation zone was converted into the GDR in 1949 , it enacted an administrative reform in 1950, with which the Calbe district was renamed the Schönebeck district . The school building, which was only built in 1948, was closed again in 1951, after which the students were taught in Calbe. Another administrative reform in 1952 abolished the states on the territory of the GDR in favor of districts . Trabitz moved from the state of Saxony-Anhalt to the Magdeburg district . In 1958 the last Trabitz farmers joined the agricultural production cooperative . The number of inhabitants was 313 in 1964. After the reunification of Germany , Trabitz returned to the re-established state of Saxony-Anhalt. On April 1, 1994 Trabitz with its 200 inhabitants was incorporated into Calbe. In 2007 the district of Schönebeck was dissolved and Trabitz came with Calbe to the newly formed salt district.
