Baselitz was first mentioned in 1225. From 1532 to 1542 the Baselitz pond was built and in 1549 the place fell back to Kamenz. In 1556 Baselitz was added to the Pönickau family . In 1746 Baselitz was first referred to as Deutschbaselitz and in 1800 39 families lived in the village. The local school was officially opened on November 5, 1844, and a post office was opened in 1890.
According to Arnošt Muka's statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Deutschbaselitz had a total of 310 inhabitants in 1884, 185 of them Sorbs (60%) and 125 Germans. In the first half of the 20th century, the Sorbian language almost completely disappeared from everyday life. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik only had three Sorbian speakers out of 535 inhabitants.
In 1904 the sports community Deutschbaselitz was founded under the name "Concordia" with around 100 club members. During the First World War , the community lost twelve Baselitzers as a result of fighting. After the seizure of power of the Nazis , the population increased from German Baselitz to 1935 on 444 people who were distributed among 110 households. On November 1, 1937, the place was renamed "Großbaselitz" as part of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place names . In January 1948 it got its original name back. In 1939 the population rose to 460. Towards the end of the Second World War , seven buildings in the community were set on fire as a result of artillery shelling with the Red Army , causing them to burn down. Thirty residents of the community lost their lives as a result of the Second World War.
In 1954 the population was 550. In 1958 the LPG "Lichte Zukunft" was founded, the following year the construction of the local sports field and in 1962 the grand opening of the large Deutschbaselitzer pond on whose developed northern area is now a campsite .
In 1966 the central aqueduct for Deutschbaselitz was completed and in 1970 the local village club was founded. In 1974 the community celebrated its 750th anniversary. As part of the festivities there was a historical parade. In 1983 the community celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Waldbad Deutschbaselitz and in 1987 the population was 400.
The years 1990 to 1995 were dominated by construction projects in Deutschbaselitz. Including the completion of several homes, bridges and the complete renovation of the large pond. In 1994 the community took 2nd place in the competition "Our village should be more beautiful". In the same year the Deutschbaselitzer youth club was founded and the children's club was inaugurated the following year.
In 1995 the population was 511 people. Today Deutschbaselitz is to be regarded as a resort.
Unofficial district coat of arms
The unofficial coat of arms of the former municipality is not recognized by the heraldry and was only designed for tourist marketing. It shows in a symbolized form the creation of the large pond Deutschbaselitz through a bet with the devil from the Upper Lusatian world of legends.
politics
After reunification , the first free local elections took place on May 6, 1990. The CDU won with 55% of the votes cast. At the beginning of June 1990, the previous mayor, Karl Schmidt, handed over the official business to his successor Christian Wacker (CDU). Schmidt resigned from the mayor's office in November 1992 as a result of the misconduct of his advisor. The interim mayor was then deputy mayor Werner Nicolaus, who was in charge of official business until the new mayor election in March 1993.
On March 1, 1993 Arnold Bock (PDS) became the new mayor of Deutschbaselitz. It remained so until the congregation was incorporated into the district town of Kamenz on January 1, 1999. Since then, the district has been represented by a local chief . This is (as of August 2012) the non-party Bernd Schimera.
