history
The Trübener village church appears for the first time in a document in 1213. Until December 31, 2009 Bornum was an independent municipality with the associated districts Garitz, Kleinleitzkau and Trüben. On January 1, 2010 the incorporation into Zerbst took place.
The village of Garitz was first mentioned in a document in 1259. A Johannes de Gardiz (from the family of Redern) is named as a witness in a document in which it is stated that Richard von Zerbst has exempted the city from the toll. In 1350 the place was called Gartz , a name of Slavic origin. From 1572 the place name Garitz and the existence of a manor with a sheep farm, brewery and distillery are documented. The von Redern gentlemen sold this property to a branch of the von Davier family who ruled Garitz until 1893. The Lahne family from Niegripp then acquired the manor and managed it for 52 years. After the expropriation and in the course of the land reform , after 1945 the property was divided between the former farm workers and those who were displaced from Silesia. Almost nothing of the estate is recognizable today in the townscape.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Trüben was incorporated.
