The Wolfswerder is a stretch of land on the left bank of the Elbe in Magdeburg .

location

The Werder is part of the floodplain of the river. The south-eastern part belongs to the Fermersleben district , the north-western part to Buckau . The Wolfswerder includes the area between the Elbe and the Sülze . The Salbker See II connects to the south . The foreland west of the Sülze towards Buckau is often called Wolfswerder. The Magdeburg waterworks were built there from 1857 , followed by a housing estate at the beginning of the 21st century. The West Elbe cycle path also runs over the Wolfswerder. On the opposite bank of the Elbe is the monumental pumping station near Prester .

history

During the siege and later destruction of Magdeburg in 1631 , Tilly's imperial troops temporarily camped on Wolfswerder. After the city was destroyed, prisoners were brought to the camp, including the Magdeburg master builder Andreas Rudolph . The intention was to obtain ransom money for the prisoners . The living conditions in the camp are said to have been very poor. As early as May 14, 1631, a fire broke out in the camp at night, and it is believed that the possibly 400 prisoners had started the fire themselves. Many prisoners managed to escape, including the Swedish ambassador Stalmann .

In earlier times, at least parts of the Wolfswerders were entitled to the respective ferry owners of the Westerhüsen ferry, which is located significantly further south , including a parcel of land called Jodenkever and joden Kieffer . The name goes back to the Jewish cemetery Judenkever , which was located here until the end of the 15th century . A place at the entrenchments is also mentioned on Wolfswerder, which suggests that there were military entrenchments. In the 18th century the Wolfswerder is owned by the city of Magdeburg. In the 19th century, Magdeburg, as the property owner, paid 14 thalers, 11 silver groschen and 3 pfennig property tax as well as 4 talers, 28 silver groschen and 9 pfennig municipal tax to the town of Buckau, to whose territory the area belonged . On the Wolfswerder, the city of Magdeburg owned 76 acres of meadows.

In the course of the revolution of 1848 , an armed vigilante group was formed in Buckau against revolutionary efforts . The flag consecration of the militia took place on July 9, 1848 on the Wolfswerder. Vigilante groups from around 20 localities appeared at the festival. The Magdeburg Lieutenant General von Hedemann accepted the parade.

The street Am Wolfswerder , located further west in Buckau, is named after Wolfswerder .
