Location of Wernitz in Saxony-Anhalt

Wernitz belongs to the village of Mieste and is a district of the Hanseatic town of Gardelegen in the Altmark district of Salzwedel in the north-west of Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

The Altmark church village of Wernitz is located one kilometer northeast of Mieste on federal highway 188 on the northern edge of the Ohre-Drömling nature reserve . The Wernitz gravel pit run by the Saxony-Anhalt State Fishing Association in the north of the village is also used as bathing water.

history

Wernitz was created as a round square village with a church on the square, as one can deduce from the Urmes table sheet from 1823.

In 1472 it was first mentioned as dat dorp Werntze . In 1687 it was called Wernitze , and in 1804 Wernitz . From before 1472 to 1857 the village belonged to the von Alvensleben rulers of Schloss Gardelegen, later to Zichtau and Isenschnibbe and to Weteritz. From 1857 to 1945 the village belonged to the Roth family.

During the land reform in 1945: 67 properties with less than 100 hectares with a total of 659 hectares and two church properties with a total of 77 hectares. From the land reform, 8.2 hectares went to five poor farmers with property under 5 hectares, 1.6 hectares to three landless farmers and small tenants, and 0.6 hectares to an industrial worker.

In 1957, Breiteiche III was listed as an associated living space , formerly known as the Wernitzer colony of Breiteiche. Today it is called the Breiteiche III colony and belongs to the Breiteiche colony in Mieste .

Incorporations

The municipality was reclassified on July 25, 1952 from the district of Gardelegen to the new, smaller district of Gardelegen . On March 15, 1974, Wernitz was incorporated into the Mieste community.

On January 1, 2011, the municipality of Mieste was incorporated by law together with 17 other municipalities according to Gardelegen. So the district of Wernitz came to the newly formed village Mieste and the Hanseatic city of Gardelegen.

Legends and stories

Adalbert Kuhn describes the orally transmitted legend Der Brautstein bei Wernitz . The stone was named Bruutsteen because a bride was once turned into stones at this point with horses and chariots and all their companions. The stone has now been blown up and taken away, but the six horses that pulled the wagon, as well as the whole band of companions, are still in the old place.

Wilhelm Zahn reports: “Ilse Marie Mewes, the wife of Hans Peter Wäke, repeatedly set fire to the village of Wernitz. She was beheaded and burned in 1779. On the place of execution, a hill north of Weteritz on the way to Solpke , the Wäkesche Pfahl , which had stood there until around 1830 , was a reminder of this . "
