Jerichow, Urban municipality in Jerichower Land, Germany.

The municipality extends across 269 square kilometers along the Elbe River, featuring agricultural lands and residential communities at 34 meters above sea level.

The settlement received its name from Old Slavic origins meaning riverside settlement, with the first documented mention occurring in 1144 during the Jerichow Monastery foundation.

The collegiate church, constructed between 1149 and 1172, stands as a primary example of Romanesque brick architecture in the Saxony-Anhalt region.

Jerichow connects to neighboring municipalities through regional roads and maintains administrative services for its 6,786 residents through the official website stadt-jerichow.de.

The municipality formed in 2010 through the merger of twelve separate communities, making it one of Germany's largest municipalities by land area.
