history

Wittenmoor Church on a field stone foundation

Wittenmoor was originally a parish village and a manor suitable for the state assembly . In 1140 the place was first mentioned in a document as Widenmore , the former part Vollenschier in 1251. The Wittenmoor church was built in 1895 on the remains of an old field stone foundation. The Vollenschierer village church is 20 years older.

On September 30, 1928, the Wittenmoor manor district was united with the rural community of Wittenmoor.

Until December 31, 2009, Wittenmoor was an independent municipality with the associated district Vollenschier.

By means of an area change agreement, the municipal council of the municipality of Wittenmoor decided on June 3, 2009 that the municipality of Wittenmoor should be incorporated into the city of Stendal. This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on January 1, 2010.

After the previously independent municipality of Wittenmoor was incorporated, Wittenmoor and Vollenschier became districts of the city of Stendal. For the incorporated municipality, the local constitution was introduced according to §§ 86 ff. Of the municipality code of Saxony-Anhalt . The incorporated municipality of Wittenmoor with the future districts of Wittenmoor and Vollenschier became the locality of the receiving city of Stendal. A local council with five members including the local mayor was formed in the incorporated municipality and now the locality of Wittenmoor.
