history

At the time of the first documentary mention in 1239 as Bleck , the village was comparatively far advanced in its settlement development. From the 14th century to 1648 it was under the jurisdiction of the Halberstädter Stift , but was fought over by Braunschweig, Brandenburg and Magdeburg. The Weferlinger castle and other goods in the village belonged to the von Honlage family in 1241. After the castle was conquered by Duke Albrecht von Braunschweig in 1316, it is later proven again as a fiefdom of von Honlage and came under the administration of the Halberstadt bishop at the beginning of the 16th century. As a sovereign office, it was often given as pledge, for example from 1650 to 1662 to the Swedish General von Königsmarck . The Swedish general was soon replaced by Prince Friedrich II of Hesse-Homburg , the equestrian general known as Prince von Homburg , to whom the extensive reconstruction of the Weferlinger Castle can be traced back.

It was not until 1701 that Weferlingen became a sovereign domain office again after the pledge had been repaid. Five years later, as part of the Schönberg Treaty , King Friedrich I gave the town to Margrave Christian Heinrich von Bayreuth-Kulmbach , who came from a Hohenzollern branch, in return for relinquishing the relatively vague inheritance claim to the margraviate Brandenburg-Bayreuth at the time . The agreement lifted the sons of the late Marquis, with the support of the Frankish Empire circle already in 1722 in agreement with Frederick William I again. In 1716, Georg Friedrich Karl von Bayreuth gave up Weferlingen as the place of residence, which then came back into state administration. In 1751 it was leased as a sovereign domain including the office of Georg Wilhelm Wahnschaffe and managed by the Wahnschaffe family until 1861. The domain office then became the property of von Spiegel in Seggerde .

For a long time, Weferlingen was considered to be a patch that did not have its own fortifications or a more pronounced self-administration. With the potash mining started at the end of the 19th century , Weferlingen gained in importance. In 1877 a sugar factory was built and in 1895 it was connected to a branch line to Helmstedt . The population was around 3,600 in 1910 and rose to around 4,800 by 1946.

In 1903 the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Gymnasium was founded in Weferlingen as a preparation institute .

On October 17, 1928, the Weferlingen manor district was dissolved by merging the Graui suburb with the Siestedt rural community and the Wolfsdorf suburb with the Seggerde rural community .

From 1994 to January 1, 2005 Weferlingen was the seat of the administrative community Weferlingen , from 2005 to December 31, 2009 a branch of the administrative community Flechtingen .

By means of a territorial change agreement, the municipal councils of the municipalities of the city of Oebisfelde (on May 27, 2009), Bösdorf (on May 26, 2009), Eickendorf (on May 28, 2009), Etingen (on May 26, 2009), Kathendorf (on May 19 , 2009) May 2009), Rätzlingen (on May 27, 2009), Eschenrode (on May 28, 2009), Döhren (on May 28, 2009), Hödingen (on May 20, 2009), Hörsingen (on May 27, 2009), Schwanefeld (on May 25, 2009), Seggerde (on June 26, 2009), Siestedt (on May 28, 2009), Walbeck (on May 28, 2009) and the Flecken Weferlingen (on May 19, 2009) that their communities dissolved and to be united to a new city Oebisfelde-Weferlingen. This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on January 1, 2010.

After the implementation of the unification agreement of the previously independent area of ​​Weferlingen, Weferlingen became part of the new town of Oebisfelde-Weferlingen. For the included municipality, the local constitution was introduced according to §§ 86 ff. Of the municipality code of Saxony-Anhalt . The Weferlingen area became part of the new town of Oebisfelde-Weferlingen. In the village of Weferlingen a local council with 14 members including the local mayor was formed.

Weferlingen was on the Helmstedt – Oebisfelde railway line opened in 1895 . The Haldensleben – Weferlingen railway line was opened in 1907. The inner-German border changed the situation. The traffic to Helmstedt and Oebisfelde was stopped in 1945, the line was only used for train journeys. There was only a rail connection in the direction of Haldensleben. In 1995 the line towards Helmstedt was rebuilt, since then it has only been used for freight traffic. The line to Haldensleben is now only used by the Lappwaldbahn for freight traffic. Passenger trains ran here until May 29, 1999; From 1945 to 1961 they connected Döhren station to the inner-German border via Weferlingen on the Reichsbahn line towards Oebisfelde .
