Cannewitz , Kanecy in Upper Sorbian , is a place in the center of the Bautzen district in Saxony and has been part of the Panschwitz-Kuckau community since 1994 . The place is in Upper Lusatia and in the Sorbian core settlement area .

geography

Cannewitz is located between Ostro and Schweinerden on the left bank of the monastery water in the Upper Lusatian area . The large district town of Bautzen is about 16 kilometers away; the Panschwitz-Kuckau community center is about two kilometers to the north. The about 200 meters wide flood plain of the monastery water is used as pasture for cattle, while the higher areas have good soil and are used for cultivation.

The neighboring towns are Panschwitz-Kuckau in the north, Schweinerden in the northeast, Neuhof in the southeast, Neustädtel in the south and Ostro in the southwest.

history

The place, laid out as a Rundweiler , was first mentioned in a document in 1331 as Canewicz . Other historical forms of the name were Kanitz (1617) and Cannowitz (1732). The manorial rule had been with the neighboring St. Marienstern Monastery since at least the 16th century , which meant that Cannewitz remained Catholic beyond the Reformation . The place was never the seat of a good .

Cannewitz was an independent rural community until January 1, 1974, when it was incorporated into Ostro. Together with this it came to the municipality reform in 1994 to the large municipality Panschwitz-Kuckau.

Population and language

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the population of Cannewitz fluctuated between 67 and 91. Shortly after the Second World War it was briefly over 100 due to refugees, but then fell again. After 1990 she leveled off between 50 and 60.

For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 86 in the 1880s, including exclusively Sorbs. Ernst Tschernik gave a population of 109 in 1956, 77 percent of them Sorbian-speaking. Sorbian is spoken in the village to this day.

The devout Cannewitz population is predominantly Roman Catholic and has parish to Crostwitz since the end of the 16th century , although the Ostroer Church is much closer. The small Protestant diaspora is part of the Uhyst am Taucher parish .

In the center of the village there is an old stone cross in the shape of a Maltese.
