Uchtenhagen belongs to the village of Walsleben and is part of the Hanseatic city of Osterburg (Altmark) in the district of Stendal in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

Uchtenhagen, a Marschhufendorf with a church, is located two kilometers northwest of Walsleben and about six kilometers east of the town of Osterburg (Altmark) on the Uchtenhagener Graben in the Altmark . The Altmärkische Wische nature reserve begins north of the village .

Neighboring towns are Calberwisch in the west, Packebusch in the northwest, Königsmark in the north, Rohrbeck in the east and Walsleben in the south.

history

In 1256, a Hubertus (alias Herbetus ) de Vchtenhagen was named as a witness in a certificate issued in Sandau.

The village of Uchtenhagen was mentioned for the first time in 1343 as ville vchtinhagen , when Margrave Ludwig gave the holy cross altar of the church in Uchtenhagen a hoof Landes zu Wasmerslage for the salvation of von Jagow . Further mentions are 1687 Vchtenhagen and 1804 Dorf and Gut Uchtenhagen with a jug .

To the west of the church there was a brickworks from the 19th century until the end of the 20th century.

Uchtenhagen Castle

In the north-western part of the village on the site of the former manor there is the structure of a ground monument visible above ground, the traces of the castle of a medieval low castle.

As Paul Grimm discovered in 1958, parts of an artificial hill surrounded by the Uchtenhagener Graben in the west and some double ramparts and ditches, some of which run in a straight line, were preserved from the extensive complex. Uchtenhagen Castle originally had a round tower and a gate with a tower on the west side. The foundation walls of this could still be seen around 1800 in the courtyard of the manor. In 1865 there were still two mighty fortification trenches on the east side.

The Bretscher pastor August Hofmeister said in 1884 that Uchtenhagen Castle could have been a border castle at the time of Otto I. According to the chroniclers Christoph Entzelt and Andreas Angelus , the castle was built around the middle of the 13th century during the Magdeburg War of the Margraves Johann Johann and Otto III. having been destroyed with the Archbishop of Magdeburg. However, it was rebuilt, because in 1447 it was named as uchtenhagen among the lordly castles and towns of the Altmark .

Uchtenhagen manor

After the castle, the knightly family called the von Uchtenhagen , which appeared in the Uckermark in 1243 and can be traced there until its extinction at the beginning of the 17th century. Ernst Wollesen assumes that the von Uchtenhagen in the Uckermark came into the possession of the von Jagow in Jagow and then, assuming this name, returned to the Altmark around 1267 as von Jagow .

Probably before 1343, but certainly before 1413, the von Jagow rights over the village and the patronage over the church with the three vicarages Holy Cross, Our Lady and St. Catherine Altar, the large courtyard with the wood, the Uchte were called, and 1598 about the Segewische and the Jagowsche Wische.

The Uchtenhagener Gutsbetrieb cultivated an area of ​​242 hectares around 1913 and was united with the 428 hectare main estate Calberwisch. Cattle, sheep and pigs were kept.

The estate remained with the von Jagows until 1945, who later had their headquarters in Calberwisch . Most recently it belonged to the Baroness von Patow, a widowed von Jagow.

During the land reform in 1945, the following were determined: four properties under 100 hectares had a total of 128 hectares, a church property had 15 hectares and the municipality had 0.1 hectares of land. In 1948, 10 full settlers each acquired over 5 hectares and one small settler under 5 hectares from the land reform. In 1953 the first agricultural production cooperative of type III, the LPG "Frischer Wind", which was dissolved in 1954, was established. In 1953 the farming family with the largest farm had moved to the Federal Republic of Germany, so that in addition to the new settlers only two farms remained, which then joined the LPG in Walsleben that year .

Origin of the place name

In 1938 Ernst Haetge interpreted the place name Uchtenhagen as follows: The place is located on the Uchte valley , “hagen” is a wood, a place surrounded by forest.

prehistory

Paul Kupka reported in 1910 about a deposit from the older Bronze Age . The farmer Friedrich Hartmann had come across a flat stone in the Kossittenstück corridor while working his land . Underneath was a non-preserved vessel in which there were C-shaped foot rings and arm tubes (arm spirals), bronzes weighing almost 3 kilograms.

Incorporations

On October 17, 1928, the Uchtenhagen manor district was merged with the Uchtenhagen rural community .

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Uchtenhagen was incorporated into the municipality of Walsleben from the district of Osterburg .

Through the merger of Walsleben with other communities to form the unified community of Hanseatic City of Osterburg (Altmark) on July 1, 2009, the district of Uchtenhagen came together with the district of Walsleben to form the newly established village of Walsleben and also to the city of Osterburg.

Legend of the von Jagow from Uchtenhagen Castle

Alfred Pohlmann handed down the following legend in 1901. A knight from Uchterhagen Castle once fought with the Margrave of Brandenburg in a battle where his chariot lost a wheel "by fighting not by horse but by chariot". As a thank you, the margrave ordered this knight to continue to bear the name “Jag to” (Jag to!), From which the name Jagow later emerged.
