Jerichow (German pronunciation: [ˈjeːʁɪço]) is a town on the east side of the Elbe River, in the District of Jerichower Land, of the state of Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. With about 270 square kilometers (104,248 square miles), the collective municipality of the city of Jerichow is one of the largest municipalities in area size in Germany.
The city of Jerichow lies on an ancient branch of the Elbe River between Stendal and Genthin, 31 miles (50 kilometers) northeast of Magdeburg. The territory of the collective municipality extends from the center of the city to the east along the northern boundary of the District of Jerichower Land to the state boundary of Brandenburg and from there to the south, a strip of land .
On 1 January 2010, the collective municipality (Einheitsgemeinde) of Stadt Jerichow was founded with the following towns and villages: Annenhof, Altbellin, Altenklitsche, Belicke, Blockdamm, Brettin, Dreihäuser, Dunkelforth, Elisenau, Großdemsin, Großwulkow, Güssow, Hahnenhütten, Havemark, Hohenbellin, Jungviehhof, Kade, Kader Schleuse, Karow, Kleindemsin, Kleinmangelsdorf, Kleinwulkow, Kleinwusterwitz, Klietznick, Kuxwinkel, Mangelsdorf (which had already merged with Jerichow on 6 August 2002), Neubuchholz, Neue Hütten, Neuenklitsche, Neuredekin, Nielebock, Redekin, Roßdorf, Scharteucke, Schlagenthin, Seedorf, Steinitz, Werdershof and Zabakuck as well as the sheep farm, Wilhelmsthal. The new Einheitsgemeinde replaced the old Municipal Association (Verwaltungsgemeinschaft) of Elbe-Stremme-Fiener.
