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.
