history

The place was first mentioned in 1174 as Danewiz . The name is derived from the Slavic personal name Dan .

On September 6, 1813, the Battle of Dennewitz took place in the vicinity of Dennewitz . In 1815, as a result of the Congress of Vienna, the village , which had previously been electoral Saxony, was forcibly given to Prussia . In Jüterbog and Niedergörsdorf, the "Dennewitzer Straße" is named after this place. In Berlin-Schöneberg , the "Dennewitzplatz" reminds of what happened in 1813. The same applies to the "Dennewitzer Straße" in Leipzig , as well as the "Dennewitzstraße" in Augsburg , Berlin-Schöneberg, Dortmund , Duisburg , Gelsenkirchen and Hanover . The place Malmbergets Dennewitz near Malmberget in northern Sweden was named after Dennewitz (sometimes written Denevitz in Swedish ).
