history
Glaubitz
Glaubitz is derived from the Slavic words glubka , glubiza , which means small deep place. The place was in the settlement area of the Daleminzier .
The town of Glaubitz was first mentioned in a document in 1271, at that time under the Slavic name "Glubotsk". A church is mentioned for the first time in 1319. In 1408 Poppe von Köckeritz resides on Glaubitz and Glaubitz is besieged as a robbery castle by the Margrave of Brandenburg . In 1585 the Buschmühle (Grützmühle), a water mill with two grinding cycles, was built. The church was rebuilt four years later. The rule exercised inheritance and higher jurisdiction.
In 1642, during the Thirty Years' War , the main Swedish army under Lennart Torstensson moved through Glaubitz towards Grossenhain. During the Seven Years' War on November 17, 1757 there was a cavalry battle between Glaubitz and Wildenhain. A school is mentioned for the first time in 1781. In 1886 a new school was built, which had to be enlarged in 1905 due to the increased number of pupils. In 1904 the volunteer fire brigade was founded. In 1934/35 the settlement was built on the street of the youth, then the canal settlement. The First and Second World Wars claimed many victims in Glaubitz.
On April 17, 1945, a column of concentration camp prisoners reached Glaubitz. While resting on the sports field, many prisoners escaped in an air raid. The prisoners captured by the Hitler Youth in the Glaubitz area were shot and buried in the Glaubitz forest. A memorial commemorates this today. On April 24, 1945, the Hitler army was defeated in this area.
On November 4, 1945, the Committee for Mutual Farmers Aid was founded, which distributed 399 hectares of land from expropriations to 73 new farmers as part of the land reform. In 1953 four farmers founded the LPG, which later became part of the LPG canal area.
1957 was in Glaubitz Catholic chapel dedicated to the building of an old locksmith was set up and after Pope Pius X is named.
In 1967 the “Am Raubschlösschen” apartment blocks were built. Today, single-family houses shape the townscape. After reunification , the streets “Stephansposchinger Straße” and “Seebergblick” were rebuilt.
In the direction of Zeithain, a new industrial park was created in which many industrial companies have settled.
In the summer of 2017 Glaubitz hit the headlines as the village women are running away from . However, this report was quite superficial and did not mention that the surplus of men was partly caused by around 200 prisoners in the Zeithain prison, which belongs to Glaubitz.
Radewitz
In 1378 Radewitz was liable for taxes to the Margrave of Meißen, and in court it was under the jurisdiction of Hayn Castle (Großenhain). In 1406 the von Köckeritz on Glaubitz were tenants, from 1485 the village belonged to the Glaubitz lordship. In 1564 the Elector of Saxony was in charge of the high hunt in the Radewitz Forest. From November 1781, the village received permission to run a bar in a row. Reihenschank meant that every person entitled to brew beer was allowed to pour home-brewed beer for a week. The children of the village were already going to school in Glaubitz. In 1624 13 taxpayers lived in Radewitz, in 1661 there were only 10. In 1840 Radewitz had 160 inhabitants. The place owned 15 estates, nine houses and a hat man's apartment as well as three mills and an inn, which still exists today.
Marksiedlitz
Marksiedlitz (Siedlitz) was mentioned for the first time in 1233. At that time it was 24 hooves and belonged to Riesa monastery. In the following time the lords of Kiucz, the Meissen cathedral monastery and again the Riesa monastery were the owners. For unknown reasons, the place became deserted in the middle of the 16th century. The surrounding landlords and farmers from Streumen, Glaubitz and Zabeltitz often fought over the land of the desert place. The repopulation of the village that was now called Marksiedlitz began in 1748. In 1890 the village had 47 inhabitants.
Sageritz
Sageritz was already inhabited in prehistoric times, which is proven by found cremation graves. The village itself was mentioned for the first time on November 15, 1539, but the farming village of Sageritz had probably existed for a long time. In Sageritz there is a small, early medieval rampart with a moat, but it is hardly recognizable today (Wiesenweg-Großenhainer Straße halfway on the left). In 1601 Dietrich von Truchseß is said to have acquired Sageritz at Glaubitz. In 1639 the village came temporarily into the possession of Balthasar von Köckeritz on Bobersen and Promnitz , after which it was returned to the Glaubitz manor. In the Thirty Years War Sageritz was almost completely destroyed and depopulated. 20 of 23 homesteads were destroyed. Due to the poor soil conditions, there were also several bad harvests in the 16th century.
In terms of church and school, Sageritz has always belonged to Glaubitz and the Sageritzers had to pay hoof bread as payment to the school teacher. Sageritz has belonged to Glaubitz since 1924.
Langenberg
In 1788 the manor owner Johann Gottfried Perl left a piece of fallow land to some simple farmers for free settlement. A fast-growing colony formed immediately, which was initially a district of Sageritz. In 1803 there was a vineyard in Langenberg and in 1817 an inn. In 1818 Langenberg became an independent municipality. The inhabitants were mostly boatmen, bricklayers, carpenters and day laborers. In 1838 a school building was built in Langenberg for the Grödeler and Langenberg children. With the inauguration of the first German long-distance railway, the place experienced a further boom. Langenberg got a train station with a freight track. This favored the settlement of businesses. A steam mill was opened in 1875, a glass factory in 1897 and a factory for lighting fixtures in 1918. In 1885 the school was replaced by a new building and expanded in 1923. Since January 1, 1877, Langenberg has formed a community with Glaubitz and Sageritz and has belonged to Glaubitz since 1924.

Attractions
Church Glaubitz
The oldest news about the existence of a church comes from the Hirschstein court records from 1319. Today's church was built after the Reformation between 1586 and 1589 - at that time still without a tower. The tower was built in 1741. In 1786, the strong pillar on the north side of the church had to be added to support it. In 1795 the church interior was redesigned. A pulpit altar with sacristy and galleries were installed. In another renovation in 1893, the pulpit altar was replaced by a stone altar with a wooden top, the sacristy with the box above was added and the organ and baptismal font were purchased. In 1925 the church got a new bronze bell. The two big bells were melted down during World War II. It wasn't until 1951 that the church got a new bell. The church windows were destroyed by an ammunition explosion in the Glaubitz forest in 1945. In 1965 the choir windows were again divided with sandstone walls and glazed with slug panes. In the time before the peaceful revolution, the church was a place of encounter and support. In the period before the fall of the Wall, it also served as a venue for groups critical of the regime. The tower was completely reconstructed between 1993 and 1994. In the following years the nave and the choir were renovated. Today the church is a place with a very lively congregation, which is supported by many volunteer members.
Dutch windmill
The old Turmholländermühle stands on a hill above Glaubitz . The mill was in operation from 1740 until the First World War. It was used to grind grain. In 1994 the owners put on the new hood and completely renovated the mill. Today the renovated building is used as a residential building.
