history

The first written mention of the village of Bochow, albeit only indirectly, goes back to the year 1225, when a Johanne de Buchowe is mentioned in a document. The place name comes from the Slavic settlement period in the Nuthen lowlands . Schlimpert (1991) derives it from a personal name Boch, i.e. the place of a Boch. Boch is a short form of Slavic first names like Boguslav or Borislav. The village is also called Magna or Major Bochow until the 15th century, to distinguish it from Lüttgen Bochow, a place south of Jüterbog and falling into desolation in the 15th century. In later documents, the magna / major was mostly omitted because a distinction was no longer necessary. Until 1566, sovereignty over the village lay with the Archdiocese of Magdeburg . As of 1566, as a result of the Reformation, there was no longer an archbishopric or archbishop. Legal successor was the administrator of Magdeburg until 1635. From 1635 to 1656 it came into the possession of the Elector of Saxony . In 1657 the Duke of Saxony-Weißenfels followed . In 1746 it was again in the possession of the Elector of Saxony and from 1806 the King of Saxony . In 1815, as a result of the Congress of Vienna , Prussia became part of the city of Jüterbog . The jurisdiction (upper and lower court) was exercised by the Vogtei Jüterbog as early as 1335. In 1817 the Bailiwick became the Jüterbog office. From 1817 to 1874 the Zinna Office was responsible for the jurisdiction. In 1661 51 village hooves are mentioned. The farmers also cultivated the 33 Hufen of the deserted village of Grünthal, which adjoined the district of Bochow to the east. The taxes that the village and the individual farmers and day laborers had to pay went to various people and institutions. The historical local lexicon lists 35 pieces of property, the recipients of the taxes often changed. Since Bochow used to have two mills, parts of the village were given special names, such as “Mellerenge”, the miller's end.

Culture and sights

The most striking building in Bochow is the village church with its 43 meter high tower that can be seen from afar. The church tower is part of the stone church , which is Gothic in its core , and whose choir probably goes back to a small stone hall church from the beginning of the 14th century. The present-day, somewhat wider nave probably dates from the early 16th century. The inside of the church is vaulted with a ribbed vault. The tower of the church made of a field stone substructure and a brick structure was built in 1856 and renewed in 1967.
