Woltersdorf is a district of the unitary community Biederitz in the district of Jerichower Land in Saxony-Anhalt .
geography
Woltersdorf is located on the western edge of the Fläming , which has its westernmost elevation with the pointed mountain (68 m) located two kilometers east of the village. Woltersdorf is connected to its neighboring towns of Körbelitz in the north and Königsborn in the south by a country road that branches off from Bundesstraße 246 at Königsborn . The place is also on the Biederitz – Altengrabow railway line . The surrounding area is purely agricultural.
In terms of natural space , the district of the place belongs to the north German lowlands and to two different landscapes. A very small part of the area on the western edge belongs to the Elbe-Elster lowlands . All other parts, especially all existing parts of the settlement, belong to the Zerbster Land . Both landscapes are open cultivated arable landscapes and the latter also forms the southwestern roof of the Fläming to the Elbe . The entire district is part of the Elbe catchment area.
history
Excavations to the north of Woltersdorf have found graves from the 3rd millennium BC and the 3rd century AD. There is also evidence of Slavic settlement. Since the place name (1200 Walterestorp) is of German origin, the beginning of today's settlement probably goes back to German immigrants. The mention of 1200 is the first official documentary evidence, there is also an obviously more recent document in which the donation of the place to the collegiate monastery of the Magdeburg monastery Our Dear Women is confirmed, with the falsified date of 1015. From the second half of the 14th century other real documents containing the name "Wolterstorp" are known.
Since 1491, the noble von Lossow family owned one of the three manors in Woltersdorf, but paid tribute to the Bishop of Brandenburg (and not to the Convent of Our Lady). Around the same time the von Alvensleben acquired another estate, until 1710–1714 the Minister Johann Friedrich II. Von Alvensleben , builder of Schloss Hundisburg , combined the properties in his hand to form Gut Woltersdorf . His son Carl August II von Alvensleben built the manor house here in 1744, which has since been destroyed. In 1840 the estate owned 650 hectares of land, while the commune only had 225 hectares of agricultural land. The property was sold to the then tenant Brandt in 1881.
A few small industrial companies settled here when Woltersdorf was connected to the Magdeburg - Loburg railway line in 1892. But the steam mill, a sawmill and the harmonica factory soon had to shut down again. A large grain silo was later built on the site of the harmonica factory.
Since 1818 Woltersdorf belonged to the Prussian district Jerichow I with the district town Burg . It remained with this district town when the GDR created the new Burg district with its territorial reform in 1952 .
On September 30, 1928, the Woltersdorf estate was merged with the Woltersdorf rural community. As early as 1945, the former manor was expropriated by the land reform ordered by the Soviet occupying power and the property was divided among 52 new farmers . However, their independence only lasted until 1953, then their farms were transferred to an LPG as part of the collectivization of agriculture operated by the GDR authorities . In 1960 four LPG from Königsborn, Nedlitz, Büden and Woltersdorf merged to form the large LPG "Ernst Thälmann". It was based in Woltersdorf and cultivated 2,500 hectares of land.
After the end of the GDR, an agricultural cooperative was established in the neighboring village of Büden, which also took over the management of the Woltersdorf areas. This meant that the place no longer had a local business. The formerly agricultural character changed in favor of a housing estate. With the amalgamation of the districts of Burg and Genthin , Woltersdorf came to the district of Jerichower Land in 1994. From 2005 to 2009 the place was a member of the administrative association Biederitz-Möser .
Until December 31, 2009 Woltersdorf was an independent municipality with the associated district of Bruch. On January 1, 2010, Woltersdorf was incorporated into the unitary community of Biederitz .

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on September 8, 2000 by the Magdeburg Regional Council.
Blazon : “From green to silver divided obliquely to the left; above a silver bell, below a silver contoured black horse head. "
The colors of Woltersdorf are green - silver (white).
The tinging of the coat of arms is based on the color combination green and white that has been common in the municipality for a long time. The silver bell indicates the bell with the von Lossow coat of arms in the Woltersdorf church. At the same time it stands as a symbol for the church, which is visible from afar in the flat country. The black horse's head symbolizes the former Halle-Kreuz stud (1893–1970) and Woltersdorf's long-standing stallion station (1950–1973).
The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg heraldist Ernst Albrecht Fiedler.
flag
The flag is green - white (1: 1) striped (hoisting flag: vertical stripes, cross flag: horizontal stripes) with the coat of arms on top.
