history

The area of ​​today's Zeppernick was originally settled by Slavs. The place was mentioned for the first time in 992 and, as an official village, belonged to the archbishopric-Magdeburg office of Loburg. Among other things, Zeppernick was also in the fiefdoms of the Archbishops Albrecht III. and Peter , who ruled between 1368 and 1381. At that time Messrs Henning de Werdere and Conrad Bogelsick were enfeoffed. After the Thirty Years War , the place came to Prussia and was incorporated into the district of Jerichow I after its administrative reform of 1815 . The Zeppernicker church was badly damaged in a fire in 1848. In 1892 it was connected to the Magdeburg – Loburg railway line. At that time Zeppernick had about 340 inhabitants. At the beginning of the Second World War the population was 387. After the territorial reform of the GDR in 1952, Zeppernick was first assigned to the Loburg district and in 1957 to the Zerbst district. In 1964 Zeppernick had 625 inhabitants. The last mayor of the municipality of Zeppernick was Horst Schöttle. In view of the imminent district reform in Saxony-Anhalt, the citizens of the municipality of Zeppernick decided in a hearing on April 22, 2007 in favor of incorporation into the city of Möckern, which became effective on July 1, 2007. The place then moved to the district of Jerichower Land.

politics

Local mayor is Manfred Zerm.

The coat of arms was approved on November 18, 1998 by the Dessau Regional Council.

Blazon : “Divided by red over silver; topped with an upright wolf in mistaken tinctures with black reinforcement and a knocked out tongue. "

Zeppernick is an official village of the old archbishopric Magdeburg office of Loburg. The shield is divided into the colors of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg red-silver (white), on which the jumping wolf is placed. As in many parts of the region, the wolf was part of the game population. In 1639 the wolf plague was so enormous that fields could no longer be cultivated and lay fallow. Great hunts were held. The coat of arms of the municipality is supposed to remind of the last wolf killed here.

The coat of arms was designed by the ASKOM advertising agency in Zerbst.

The flag is white-red (1: 1) striped (horizontal shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and is centered with the coat of arms.

buildings

The Zeppernicker Protestant village church is located north of the main road on the road to Wendgräben on a slightly elevated plateau, surrounded by the community cemetery. The nave is an elongated building in neo-Gothic style with flat pointed gables. The long walls are each provided with five ogival windows. The narrower tower attached to the west initially has a square floor plan, but the upper part, like the slate-covered spire, is octagonal. The building was built from rubble stones , but was later plastered down to the base of the nave. A brick-red frieze runs under the tiled roof . The church was restored to its present form in 1848 after a fire, with the nave being extended by two window sections. A flat-angled wooden ceiling spans the simply designed interior of the nave. Horizontal beams are decorated with wooden tracery . A gallery was added on the west side .

Infrastructure

Zeppernick is connected to the Biederitz – Altengrabow railway line (with passenger traffic to Loburg) and the 246 federal highway , on which the neighboring towns of Loburg and Möckern are located. The district town of Burg (near Magdeburg) is 22 kilometers away and the next motorway exit "Burg-Ost" on the A 2 is 17 kilometers away.
