in the Börde district in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is situated approx. 15 km
northwest from Haldensleben between the Ohre river and the Midland Canal.
Calvörde is part of the Verbandsgemeinde (collective municipality)
Flechtingen. Before 1944 the Amt of Calvörde was part of the Duchy of
Brunswick. The first documentary mention goes back to the year 1196. At the
place, where today still is a bridge, was a ford through the Ohre river. A
trade route which came from southeast crossed the river here. It led from
Leipzig across Magdeburg to Lüneburg and Hamburg. There also was a second road
which came from Braunschweig. The emergence of the ford is attributed to a man
named Kale. That´s why the historic meaning of Calvörde is Kale´s ford.
