geography

Geographical location

The place is on the Ilse around ten kilometers north of Wernigerode . The Ilse and the Schneibeckebach flow through the village. Source streams in the district are the Ohrbeek and the Ochsenbach.

history

Age of the village

Aquatic life is located in a region with an almost complete history of settlement of around 7,000 years. The current name Wasserleben was not used until the 18th century, before the place was called Wasserler, Waterler or Waterlieren. This means that the village should belong to the group of settlements with the Germanic place-name endings -lar, -leri, -lere, which already existed before the migration period . The earliest written record of aquatic life goes back to 1187. A land purchase in Waterlieren is reported in a document from the Drübeck Monastery .

middle Ages

The blood or host miracle was decisive for the development of the place in the Middle Ages : blood is said to have leaked a little later from a host that was not consumed at the Easter communion in 1231. In the following years, Wasserleben developed into a regionally important place of pilgrimage. A chapel was built near the parish church around 1290, which was used solely for the presentation of the host, and a little later, between 1298 and 1310, the construction of a Cistercian monastery began at the instigation of the Bishop of Halberstadt , which is now the estate. The rise of aquatic life went hand in hand with the decline of the previously more important neighboring village of Husler to the northwest, which was then completely abandoned as a place to live during the late medieval desert period .

The Counts of Regenstein were the most important landlords in the town in the High Middle Ages . But in 1343, as a result of a feud, they had to sell their entire property in Wasserleben to the Count of Wernigerode . Since then the village has always belonged to the County of Wernigerode or to the corresponding successor territories.

Early modern age

The Reformation took hold in Wasserleben early on, and Protestant worship was introduced as early as 1525. But it was not until a hundred and twenty-five years later, after the monastery was dissolved, that the parish could dispose of the village church without restriction. In order to be able to hold evangelical church services regularly, she built a small church in the years 1601–1609 in today's cemetery, the Gottesackerkirche Sankt Salvator. This was the first new building of a Protestant church in the county of Wernigerode.

There is talk of a school for the first time at the beginning of the 17th century. In his house, the cantor initially only instructed the boys. The girls taught a "Lehrwase", a knowledgeable woman, later a "maid-schoolmaster", also in their own apartment. The community received a real schoolhouse in 1769.

18th and 19th centuries

The great fire of Wasserleben, triggered by a careless blacksmith, killed two small children on April 4, 1702. In addition, the fire destroyed over fifty farmsteads and houses, including the cantor's house where the church records were kept.

From 1771, the celebration of shooting festivals in the rural communities of the County of Wernigerode was prohibited. But after numerous interventions, the ban was lifted and in 1787 the shooting society Wasserleben was re-established. Today it is the largest club in town.

For the first time, the “Population Budget of 1809” provides reliable information about the exact number of inhabitants: at that time 1012 people lived in the village and 64 on the estate.

In 1813, the half-spouses in Wasserleber were the first group of farmers to replace services in exchange for money as part of the farmers' liberation . It took a good fifty years before all services were converted into monetary fees.

A field register with extensive maps was created in 1822 as the basis for the separation . The amalgamation of the operational areas turned out to be just as laborious as the replacement of duties. It was not essentially complete until the 1880s.

As a result of the liberation of the farmers and separation, as well as new farming methods, agricultural yields rose sharply in the county of Wernigerode in the 19th century. In Wasserleben in particular, this trend received additional impetus from the rail link and the construction of a sugar factory.

The Magdeburg-Halberstädter Eisenbahngesellschaft (MHE) opened on March 1, 1869 the traffic on the Halberstadt – Vienenburg line; A train station was built in the north of Wasserleben, the first in the county of Wernigerode. A little later, in the autumn of 1870, the "Sugar Factory Wasserleben E. Henneberg & Comp." Opened opposite the new train station.

present

On January 1, 2010, the previously independent municipalities of Wasserleben, Danstedt , Heudeber , Langeln , Schmatzfeld , Stapelburg , Veckenstedt and Abbenrode merged to form the single municipality of North Harz.

Memorials

A memorial was erected in the place in memory of the villagers who died in World War I. It is near the park entrance and lists the approx. 200 fallen people by name. The name for the memorial is colloquial: war memorial. After 1989, memorial plaques for those who died in the Second World War were also installed.

Religions

A Protestant church (Sylvestrikirche) is located between the manor and Dorfstraße, another church is on the site of the cemetery. The parish of Wasserleben belongs to the Halberstadt parish.

politics

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved by the district on March 24, 2009.

Blazon : "Silver over blue divided by sea waves, growing above two curved, rising red trout."

The basis was a coat of arms that was used by the community in customary law, but was not approved. The waves reflect the abundance of water in the place and are also a reference to the place name. The village is affected by the Ilse and the Schneibeckebach and there are also a number of source brooks such as the Ohrbeek or the Ochsenbach in the district itself. The fish refer to the coat of arms of the Counts of Wernigerode, to which the place once belonged.

The colors of the district are red and white.

The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch .

flag

The flag is striped red and white (1: 1) (horizontal shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and has the coat of arms in the center.
