history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1230 as Brotewiz . The name comes from Slavonic , but cannot be specified; the basic form of Brotovica , which means “Bach am Krappfeld ”, seems certain .

1230 Margrave gave Henry of Meissen the monastery Marienstern in Mühlberg the Vorwerk Brottewitz. At that time Brottewitz was probably fiefdom owned by the Ileburger . In 1253 the citizen Werner von Limpach from Oschatz leased 5 Hufen to the monastery in Mühlberg. Botho von Ileburg announced in 1304 that he had given the abbess in Mühlberg 5 marks and a beer dung income from the village of Brottewitz. In 1369 the monastery sold the annual income of 1 shock groschen from Brottewitz to the dean Nicolaus zu Meißen. In 1550 the village had 10 possessed males and 21 hooves. From 1559 to 1570 Brottewitz belonged to the Bishop of Meißen Johann IX. from Haugwitz . In 1654 the elector Johann Georg I. awarded Brottewitz to the superintendent Meißner in Grossenhain. In 1691 the Chamberlain von Wehlen, the owner of Martinskirchen , bought the village.

In 1816 there were 111 inhabitants, and in 1910 there were 318 inhabitants in Brottewitz.
