geography

Bosewitz is two kilometers northwest of Dohna's old town . It is located on the plateau between Müglitz in the east and Lockwitzbach in the west south of the Elbe valley . Bosewitz is located on the Rietzschkebach, an orographically left tributary of the Müglitz. The fruit-growing operations around Borthen and Röhrsdorf also shape Bosewitz and its immediate surroundings.

Adjacent districts of Dohna are Gamig in the east, Gorknitz in the south and Röhrsdorf and Borthen in the west. To the north is the Heidenau district of Wölkau .

Bosewitz extends along the road from Dohna via Gamig to Borthen and Röhrsdorf. A road branches off from this road in Bosewitz to the south via Gorknitz to Sürßen . At the junction is the village center of the loose farming hamlet, small settlements have sprung up along the roads to the east and south of it . The address of all Bosewitz houses is simply Bosewitz due to the small size of the place, supplemented by the respective house number. To the public transport Bosewitz is by the bus line B of the travel service Dressler connected, which has a stop in the village.

Because of the field name "Desert Mark Blochwitz" in the northeast of the Bosewitz district, historians suspect that it is a desert where a village called Blochwitz used to be.

history

Bosewitz on a map from the 19th century

The original form of the place name, which comes from Old Sorbian , was probably * Božovici. The place name Bosewitz goes back to "Bož (a)", the first name of a Slavic locator, and thus means "settlement of the people of a Bož (a)". The place was first mentioned in 1288 as "Pozewitz". In the centuries that followed, numerous other spellings were in use, including "Bozewicz", "Bossewicz" and "Bostlewicz". In 1791 there were still the forms "Bosewitz" and "Posewitz" next to each other.

As early as 1439 there was a Vorwerk in Bosewitz . The manorial rule in the place was exercised by the owners of the manor in nearby Gamig. The farmers worked five Hufen land in 1764 ; the Bosewitz block corridor was around 138 hectares in size in 1842. Parish was and is the place after Dohna in the Marienkirche . The administration of Bosewitz was initially the responsibility of the Dohna Department, from the 16th century to the Pirna Department and then to the Pirna Court Department in 1856. On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Bosewitz gained independence as a rural community, which also included the districts of Gamig and Meuscha . However, the Meuscha individual estate northeast of Bosewitz was abandoned a few years later. The rural community of Bosewitz was part of the Pirna administration in 1874 . On July 1, 1950, Bosewitz was incorporated into Gorknitz and was part of the Pirna district from 1952 onwards . On January 1, 1993, the community of Gorknitz merged with Borthen and Röhrsdorf to form the new community of Röhrsdorf. Since its incorporation into the city of Dohna on January 1, 1999, Bosewitz has belonged to Dohna.
