geography

Etzdorf is east of the city of Eisenberg and west of the city of Crossen an der Elster in about the middle between the two cities. The federal motorway 9 leads west past some neighboring districts of the municipality of Heideland. The districts are connected to one another by local roads and have connections to state roads with a transition to the Federal Motorway 9. The Etzdorf district is flanked to the west and east by groves that also owned and have archaeological finds.

history

The place was first mentioned in 1219. Of the 16 burial mounds in the Etzdorfer Flur “Am wet forest”, three graves were opened and documented in 1924 and again in 1956. They received grave fixtures and stone settings in varying degrees of well-preserved - also a “house of the dead”. Amphoras, beakers, flints and arrowheads were found.

The ancient noble family of Etzdorff had their headquarters here . Etzdorf belonged to the Wettin district office of Eisenberg , which was under the sovereignty of various Ernestine duchies due to several divisions in the course of its existence . In 1826 the place came with the southern part of the Eisenberg district office and the city of Eisenberg from the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg to the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg . In 1920 the place became part of the Free State of Thuringia.

The village was and is still oriented towards agriculture.
