Municipality of Altmärkische Höhe

The village is almost centrally located between the towns of Arendsee (Altmark), Osterburg (Altmark) and Seehausen (Altmark). The former estate was known far beyond the state borders for its excellent cattle breeding and the breeding of cold-blooded horses. Today, the western town of "Cody City" is particularly noteworthy. There are still some megalithic graves in the Bretscher Feldmark that bear witness to earlier times.

The district of Boock is located between the towns of Arendsee (Altmark) and Bismark (Altmark). It is a typical street village. There is a large electrical and kitchen store in the village.

Dewitz is a small village that is relatively centrally located in the municipality of Altmärkische Höhe. There was already a dairy farm in Dewitz in the 1980s. Today, an agricultural cooperative in Dewitz runs a cattle farm for milk production.

Drüsedau is one of the smallest districts in the municipality of Altmärkische Höhe. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the Hanseatic town of Seehausen (Altmark).

The village of Einwinkel consists of the parts Einwinkel and Neue Welt, which are connected by the "Gutspark".

Gagel is also a small street village. Gagel used to lie on a much-used postal and trade route between Stendal, Arendsee and Lenzen. One attraction in the small village is the so-called "Hülsedung", a presumably Longobard ring wall, which lies between Neulingen and Gagel.

Kossebau is a typical Altmark street village. Kossebau's village street is also an avenue consisting of around 130 lime and chestnut trees.

In 1820, Kossebau was described as a noble parish village, and a monastery of the Barfüßer order is said to have once stood in Kossebau. Today, the vicarage of the parish of Kossebau, which is responsible for the parishes of Bretsch, Dequede, Dewitz, Gagel, Heiligenfelde, Kossebau, Krevese, Lückstedt, Polkern, Priemern, Rathsleben, Stapel and Wohleneberg, is located here in the so-called Johannipark.

The settlement of Tannenkrug is located somewhat remotely directly on the B 190 federal highway, from where the towns of Arendsee (Altmark) and Seehausen (Altmark) can be reached quickly. The teacher Heinemann from Priemern, who was still alive 50 years ago, has established with a fair degree of certainty from excavations and finds that the area around Bretsch, Priemern and Losse must have been inhabited as early as the Stone Age, around 5000 years ago.
