Wohlsdorf (German pronunciation: [ˈvoːlsˌdɔʁf]) is an Ortschaft (municipal division) of the town of Bernburg in Salzlandkreis, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
Wohlsdorf was first mentioned as a village 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of Bernburg in 986. It later became a municipality in the Salzlandkreis district and, in 2005, the community belonged to the historic collective municipality of Nienburg. When Nienburg was disbanded on 1 January 2010, it was incorporated into Bernburg, along with the communities of Baalberge, Biendorf, Gröna, Peißen, Poley, and Preußlitz.[2]
Geography
Included in Wohlsdorf is the village of Crüchern, which was also formerly a separate district. Much of the surrounding area is gently rolling farmland, broken up only by about 114 square kilometres (44 sq mi) of woods dividing Crüchern from Wohlsdorf. The river Ziethe forms a border between the Wohlsdorf subdistrict and the village of Mölz, a sub-district of Kleinpaschleben. The Ziethe flows first southwest then southeast along the border of the woods that stretch alongside Crüchern, forming a border between farmland and village of Wohlsdorf. It bends again southeasterly and around the western edge of Biendorf, another village-sub-district of Bradenburg on the southern border of Wohlsdorf.
