geography
The Rundling is located northeast of Kubschütz in the loess loam hill area, many mountains in front of the Czorneboh range .
history
The district was already settled during the Bronze Age, to the west of today's village a settlement was established around 1000 BC. Cemetery dated BC discovered.
"Kanewicz" was first mentioned in 1368 in a document from the Bautzen Cathedral Monastery , in which the taxes to be paid on chickens, grain and silver interest are listed. In 1532 ten peasants from Canitz were subordinate to the Bautzen council and two to the cathedral monastery. Agriculture on the fertile soils was so productive that the peasants who were subordinate to the council bought themselves free in 1602. In Canitz there was also a fiefdom, to which a sheep farm belonged since 1620. The origin of the double name "Canitz-Christina" has not been conclusively clarified, but as early as 1419 the place is recorded as Coynewitz cristani . Possibly the addition served to distinguish Cannewitz . Other historical place name forms are Konewicz (1441) and Conitz (1455), probably derived from the Sorbian kóń ("horse"), which the Sorbian place name still refers to today.
Until 1856 the village was under the jurisdiction of the city of Bautzen. The place belongs to the parish Purschwitz . In the northern part of the district, near Neupurschwitz , a brick factory with a clay pit was operated until 1918. Later the area was used as a chicken farm. In 1936 Kumschütz was incorporated . Canitz-Christina has been part of Kubschütz since 1973.
Population and language
For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 176 inhabitants in the 1880s; 159 of them were Sorbs (90%) and 17 Germans. The Protestant Bautzen dialect was spoken here. The language change to German took place in Canitz-Christina during the first half of the 20th century. In 1956, only 36 percent of the population spoke Sorbian. Since then, the local language has largely disappeared from everyday life.
