geography

The city is located on the Tangier River , after which the city got its name. Tangerhütte is on the Magdeburg – Stendal railway line in the northern German lowlands .

City structure

Since the dissolution of the administrative community Tangerhütte-Land and the reorganization of the city on May 31, 2010, Tangerhütte has been divided into the following villages:

geology

Regional geologically, the Tangerhütte-Land area is located about five kilometers south of the Altmark-Fläming depression. Here are sandstones from the Mesozoic and Paleozoic Era . The rocks of the Lias are now about 1,800 meters below the surface of the earth. Temperatures around 65 ° C are predominant there.

The Zechstein appears in Klein-Schwarzlosen as a salt diapir , but not on the surface of the earth. The cause of the diapir is the fault between the Altmark-Fläming-Senke and the Calvörde plaice .

The place is located between the Glogau-Baruther Urstromtalung (north) and the Magdeburg-Breslauer Urstromtalung (south). The northern glacial valley was formed during the Warthestadiums in the Vistula glacial period . The southern one is related to the Planken stadium of the Saale Glaciation . The area between these valleys is an old moraine area and shaped by the Post Weichsel Cold Age. Today Tangerhütte is located in the backfill area of ​​the Elbe .

climate

Tangerhütte is located in the temperate climate zone . Due to its geographical location, the area is predominantly continentally influenced, but with maritime climate components.

history

Cast iron lamp post with the inscription "Tangerhütte", Wiesbaden spa gardens , around 1900

Tangerhütte emerged from the village of Vaethen. Vaethen was first mentioned in a document in 1375 and remained a small town. In 1540 only 80 inhabitants were counted, at the time the Dorfschulze was Stephan Güldenpfennigk. During the Thirty Years' War Magdeburg mercenaries stole cattle in the village. In 1808 the village road was paved. In 1840 the place had 345 inhabitants. From 1842 an ironworks was built on the right bank of the Tangers , and in 1844 the first casting was carried out in the Tangerhütte ironworks . Vaethen thus developed into an industrial location. In 1852 it was given a train station . From 1870 the castle park was laid out with a waterfall and a pond, before the castle of the hut owner Wagenführ was built in 1873/74. In 1883 the family had a family tomb built.

1880 was the reception building of the station was built. The Vaethen volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1891 and the town hall was built in 1905. In 1907 street lighting with gas lamps was put into operation. The hut owner had the New Castle built from 1909 to 1911 , the first has since been called the Old Castle . In 1926 Vaethen received electrical lighting. In 1928 the name of Vaethen was changed to Tangerhütte , and in 1935 Tangerhütte was granted town charter .

In Tangerhütte there was a military hospital for prisoners of war with tuberculosis from 1939 until the end of the war, in which 500 people died by 1945. After the end of the Second World War , the ironworks were partially dismantled; nevertheless, the hut resumed work in 1945.

In 1952 Tangerhütte became the district town of the district of the same name in the Magdeburg district . In 1987 the Tangerhütte district was dissolved and Tangerhütte lost its status as a district town . Until 1990 the Ministry for State Security (or most recently the AfNS) of the GDR maintained a district office in Tangerhütte.

On May 31, 2010, the unified municipality of the city of Tangerhütte was formed.
