history
Today's world life was called Niederwelbsleben in the past. In the west was the today desolate Oberwelbsleben . In 964 a Welbsleben as Welpsleve was mentioned for the first time in a document in a letter of donation from Margrave Gero to the monastery Gernrode , to whom among other things 3 hooves were given. On July 26, 1073, King Heinrich IV confirmed his father's donations to the church of Ballenstedt , including 3 Hufen in Welbsleben. Pope Alexander III took the monastery Hagenrode with its goods, including 4 hooves in one of the Welbsleben (called Welpesleve ), on May 24th 1179 under his protection.
On January 8, 1200, Abbot Heithenrich of the Nienburg Monastery confirmed the possessions of the Hagenrode Monastery in one of the Welbsleben (again called Welpesleve ). Pope Innocent III took the Nienburg monastery under its protection on February 5, 1205 and confirmed, among other things, its possession of 10 hooves in Welbsleben (again called Welpesleve ). Two years later, on August 9, 1207, he also took the Gernrode monastery under his protection and once again confirmed its ownership of 3 hooves in Welbsleben, among other things. Pope Gregory IX, too . took the Gernrode monastery under its protection on June 12, 1227 and once again confirmed its ownership, including the 3 Hufen from Welbsleben. In Welbsleben around 1241, Heinricus plebanus witnessed a donation from Count Walther von Arnstein to the hospital in Hettstedt . Bernard III von Anhalt enfeoffed Hans Kegel on April 11, 1332 with 6 hooves in Kelyngvelde , two hooves in Niederwelbsleben (called Neder-Welsleve ) and a farm in Oberwelbsleben (called Over-Welpsleve ).
On November 2, 1357, Domdekan Burchard von Aschersleben commissioned the pastor of Niederwelbsleben, called inferiori Welpsleue , to take possession of Dietrich von Uslar, who had been proposed by the Abbess of Quedlinburg for the pastoral office in Hettstedt. On June 13, 1387 Niederwelbsleben was sold together with surrounding villages from the Arnstein lordship by the Counts of Regenstein to the Counts of Mansfeld .
On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Welbsleben, Alterode , Bräunrode , Greifenhagen , Harkerode , Quenstedt , Stangerode , Sylda and Ulzigerode and the town of Sandersleben (Anhalt) merged to form the new town of Arnstein. The administrative community Wipper-Eine , to which Welbsleben belonged, was dissolved.
