history

On November 12, 995 Wendilburgoroth was by King Otto III. given to the diocese of Meissen . This is considered to be the first mention of the place. The church in Wülperode was first mentioned in 1396.

Wülperode belonged to the Halberstadt Monastery and the Principality of Halberstadt . Pastor Wernecke created the first church book in 1651 . The first entry followed a year later. The place was directly subordinate to the office of Stötterlingenburg- Wülperode and came in 1815 to the administrative district of Magdeburg of the Prussian province of Saxony . The Steinadlerkrug in Steinfeld was built outside the village in 1672. The current half-timbered church was completed in 1718. On November 17, 1785, Wilhelm Klöpper from Hoppenstedt bought the Steinadlerkrug from Jakob Igel and gave it his name. General Friedrich Emil von Kleist received in 1814 from the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. the domains Wülperode and Stötterlingenburg donated. The Wülperode district was separated in 1837. After the Silesian weaver revolt , from 1844 Silesian weavers were settled in the village. The Wülperode volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1897. The Reckleben family took over the estate in 1898. On July 1, 1950, the neighboring towns of Göddeckerode and Suderode were incorporated into Wülperode, which was renamed Dreirode on the same day . On September 1, 1990 Dreirode was given its original name Wülperode again .

From 1961 the place was directly in the border area of ​​the GDR and could only be reached with a pass . In 1961 the Klöpperkrug in Steinfeld was demolished. In 1969 the manor buildings began to be blown up. In 1995, Wülperode was voted the most beautiful village in Saxony-Anhalt and in the same year came third in a national comparison. In addition, the millennium was held in the same year. On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Wülperode, Aue-Fallstein , Berßel , Bühne , Lüttgenrode , Rhoden and Schauen merged with the city of Osterwieck to form the new city of Osterwieck.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved by the district on April 18, 2006.

Blazon : "In the silver shield with a blue corrugated shield base, three crossed red lifting hooks , the one on top overturned with the leaf pointing to the right."

The municipality's coat of arms and its figures refer to the eponymous and landscape situation. The lifting hooks indicate the place name and at the same time represent the agricultural importance of the place. The base of the wave shield refers to the river system of the Ecker, Oker and Stimmecke, which have shaped the landscape here. In the tinctures of the coat of arms, the Halberstadt Monastery is discussed, to which Wülperode once belonged territorially.
