geography
Grubschütz is about four kilometers southwest of Bautzen between 200 and 215 meters above sea level. NN. The area is hilly; the location falls in the southeast into the valley of the Spree . The river has washed out a narrow valley above and below the village. To the left and right of the Spree, granite walls rise in parts, which are used for climbing. The local recreation area Humboldthain is located between Grubschütz and Bautzen , a popular excursion destination for Bautzen residents.
The place consists of two core settlement parts. The older Rundweiler in the south lies on a hill above the Spree; the younger part in the north on the road towards Bautzen. The neighboring towns are Stiebitz in the north, Preuschwitz in the east, Doberschau in the south and Techritz in the southwest.
history
The place is first mentioned in 1419 as Gropschitz . Using the intermediate form Rubelschitz (16th / 17th century), which is closer to the Sorbian name, the place name developed into its current form by 1768.
In the Battle of Bautzen in May 1813, the Spreeaue near Grubschütz was used by the southern wing of the French troops under Marshal Oudinot to cross the river, as it is easy to control due to its location between the steep valleys in the north and south.
Until June 30, 1950 Grubschütz was an independent rural community. Then it was incorporated into Doberschau , with which it came to the municipality of Gnaschwitz-Doberschau in 1994 and to Doberschau-Gaussig in 1999.

The last population data for the municipality of Grubschütz indicate 407 inhabitants for 1946. In 1890 the place had only 177 inhabitants.

religion
The place is both Catholic and Protestant to Bautzen. The last information on religious affiliation comes from 1925. At that time, 224 of the 281 inhabitants were Evangelical Lutheran (80%) and 57 were Catholic (20%).
