The place name was first mentioned in 1351 as part of the personal name "Johannes de Boncz". In the following centuries, the spellings “Bonschz”, “Bunczsch”, “Bonitsch” and “Benitz” were in use. There are two explanations for the meaning of the place name. The name can either be traced back to a short form of Bonifatius and would thus mean “settlement of the people of a Bon [ifatius]”. Or it is derived from the Old Sorbian root * bon, which describes a wet lawn or a damp meadow. Bohnitzsch would therefore be the "settlement on damp terrain". In any case, the name is of Slavic origin.

The well of Sorbs founded Place village was in a 1900 comprehensive about 235 hectares of block - Won corridor , their hooves 15 (16th century) the inhabitants of Agriculture operated. For centuries, the administration of the place was the responsibility of the Meissen Hereditary Authority , so it was an official village . In 1856 Bohnitzsch belonged to the Meißen court office and then joined the Meißen district administration , from which the district of the same name emerged.

On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Bohnitzsch gained independence as a rural community , to which the Vorwerk in Nassau also belonged as a district . Bohnitzsch was incorporated into Meißen in 1914 together with the neighboring town of Zscheila, according to which it had been a parish since the 16th century, and has since been part of the district town. The old village was expanded in the late 19th century, initially immediately around the village center (e.g. houses on Richtsweg , small settlements at Am Bogen and Hohe Wiese ). In the 1980s, the prefabricated building district on Fellbacher Strasse was built in the southeast . To the north and east of it, two residential estates were built around 2000 ( Many-Jost-Weg , Käutzchenring ).

In the Zscheila district to the southwest of Bohnitzsch, there is a listed Soviet memorial.
