history
In 1782 148 people lived in Vehlen. It belonged to the Altenplathow office . The residents were either subjects of the office or of the von Hüncke family, who had their seat on the Möthlitz manor . The church patronage at that time was held by the von Britzke family and the von Schlabrendorf family , the latter having their manor in Bensdorf. There was a mill at Vehlen. Around 1820 the population was 152 inhabitants and the church patronage had passed to the Lords of Hünecke on Möthlitz. The Feldmark Vehlens at that time had 2,615 acres of land. The "Genzenhof" belonging to Vehlen was mentioned as the farm of the heirs of Vehlen Schulzen Genz with ten residents. At that time Vehlen belonged to the district of Jerichow II in the Prussian province of Saxony and there to the administrative district of Magdeburg.
On July 1, 1950, Vehlen was incorporated into the new municipality of Bensdorf.
In 1952 an administrative reform was carried out in the GDR, which had existed since 1949 . The existing country broke it and formed instead of those districts . In this context, a district reform also took place , which led to the dissolution of the existing districts and to restructuring or reorganization. The district of Jerichow II was dissolved. The community of Bensdorf was integrated into the new Brandenburg district in the Potsdam district .
