history

Walsleben was mentioned in 929 as urbem ... Wallislevo in the "History of the Saxons" by Widukind von Corvey , which was written about 40 years later. The rebellious Slavs are said to have destroyed the wallislevu castle in 929 . Located at a ford through the Uchte, it belonged to the castle system that secured the German areas against the Slavic settlement areas in the east. According to the chronicle of Thietmar von Merseburg , written before 1018, the castle was then rebuilt.

From 1230 a knightly von Walsleben family can be traced , which, however, left their headquarters early in the course of the German expansion to the east. Thereafter the knight's seat was in the hands of various noble families, from 1375 (in Klein Walsleben) and until the end of the 16th century by Lüderitz , from 1598 by Schulenburg , in 1778 in the hereditary path of Friedrich Werner von Podewils , after which it came to the families of Berg and von Voss , until it was finally sold to Eduard von Jagow in Calberwisch in 1846 . In 1869 Adolfine von Rohr bought it on Hohenwulsch. She had a new castle built in Walsleben, as well as a park and avenues. In 1946 the castle was demolished to obtain building material for settlement sites. Today only the former caretaker's house and the foundations of the ice cellar, which were exposed in 1997, remain of the former estate.

Castle wall

To the west of the northwestern exit of the village, the Uchte shows the visible structure of a ground monument, the rampart of the former Walsleben Castle. As Paul Grimm discovered in 1958, a small main castle still appeared in 1750 as a castle surrounded by water. The total size is estimated to be around 160 by 200 meters.

Incorporations

On October 17, 1928, the Walsleben estate was merged with the Walsleben rural community .

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Uchtenhagen was incorporated into Walsleben. The community of Walsleben was reclassified from the district of Osterburg to the district of Osterburg on July 25, 1952 . On July 1, 1994 she came to what is now the district of Stendal .

The municipal councils of the municipalities of Ballerstedt (on November 24, 2008), Düsedau (on November 12, 2008), Erxleben (on November 10, 2008), Flessau (on November 27, 2008), Gladigau (on November 26, 2008), Königsmark (on November 25, 2008), Krevese (on November 12, 2008), Meseberg (on November 19, 2008), Rossau (on November 10, 2008), Walsleben (on November 10, 2008) and the Hanseatic City Osterburg (Altmark) (on November 6, 2008) decided that their communities should be dissolved and united into a new unified community called the Hanseatic City of Osterburg (Altmark) . This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on July 1, 2009.

After implementation of the territorial change agreement of the previously independent municipality of Walsleben, Walsleben and Uchtenhagen became districts of the new Hanseatic city of Osterburg (Altmark). For the included municipality, the local constitution was introduced according to §§ 86 ff. Of the municipality code of Saxony-Anhalt . The districts of Walsleben and Uchtenhagen, which emerged from the incorporated municipality of Walsleben, became part of the new Hanseatic city of Osterburg (Altmark). A local council with five members including the local mayor was formed in the incorporated municipality and now the village of Walsleben.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on February 6, 2001 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.

Blazon : “Divided diagonally right from red to silver; at the top three silver hunting horns with a golden cord staggered one below the other, getting smaller from top to bottom, the sound opening turned to the right; below an eight-spoke red wagon wheel; In the silver shield base with a blue wave bottom a continuous, single-arched, black grooved red stone bridge with a smooth yoke. "

The colors of the former municipality are red - silver (white).

The former Walsleben municipal council had decided to include hunting horns, wagon wheel, river and bridge in the municipal coat of arms. The hunting horns refer to the coat of arms of those von Walsleben who have three hunting horns on their shield. The eight-spoke wagon wheel stands for the Uchtenhagen district. He appears equally in the coat of arms. Walsleben is on the Uchte. The river is used to refer to them. Bridges connected and connected the properties on both sides of the Uchte and the lands adjacent to it. There were always several bridges in Walsleben and its district.

flag

The flag is red - white - red (1: 4: 1) striped. Hoisted flag (stripes running vertically) with the coat of arms of the municipality on the median.

Legends from Walsleben

In 1994 , Hanns HF Schmidt recounts the legend that was originally passed on to Thietmar von Merseburg under the name The Assembly at the Cemetery . In the city of Walsleben, which was rebuilt after the destruction, the priest, who was on his way to morning mass, met many people in the churchyard who made sacrifices to a priest. A recently deceased person he knew asked him what he was doing here? He explained it to her. She told him he wouldn't live long. He then told his neighbor and died soon after.

Under the title The Spinner Between Walsleben and Düsedau, Alfred Pohlmann handed down a legend in 1901 about a woman who was beaten up by her own drunken husband, stormed out of the house and fled with her spinning wheel into the forest between Walsleben and Düsedau. As a spinner in a white robe, she has been walking around the Walsleber Tannen at night between 11 a.m. and 1 a.m. When the moon is shining brightly, you can see how she is sitting at the spinning wheel and spinning and that she looks very sad.
