The village takes its name from the river Ohre, which rises near the village and empties into the Elbe north of Magdeburg. In East German times the state border ran down the centre of the Ohre not far from the village. The nearest settlement on the East German side was Haselhorst; but it was no longer accessible after the 1950s and the road link was not reopened until 1990.
