SALZWEDEL

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 106 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SALZWEDEL , a town in the Prussian province of Saxony, in a plain on the navigable Jeetze, a tributary of the Elbe, 32 in. N.W. of Stendal and 1o6 m. by rail N.W. of Berlin, on the line to Bremen. Pop. (1905) 11,122. Salzwedel is partly surrounded by medieval walls and gates. The church of St Mary is a fine
Gothic
  structure of the 13th century with five naves and a lofty spire. The old town
hall
 , burnt down in 1895, has been replaced by a modern edifice. The
industries
  include linen and damask weaving, tanning, brewing and the manufacture of pins, chemicals and machinery, and a brisk river trade is carried on in agricultural produce.
Salzwedel, formerly Soltwedel, was founded by the
Saxons
 , and was from 1070 to 1170 the
capital
  of the old or north Mark, also for a time called the " mark of Soltwedel," the kernel of Brandenburg-Prussia. The old castle, perhaps founded by Charlemagne, was
purchased
  in 1864 by the king of Prussia. Salzwedel was also a member of the Hanseatic League, and at the beginning of the 16th century seems to have transacted a
great
  part of the inland commerce of North Germany.
See Pohlmann, Geschichte der Stadt Salzwedel (
Halle
 , '8''), and Danneil, Geschichte der kOniglichen Burg zu Salzwedel (Salzwedel, 1865).
