The first recorded place name form dates from 1334 as Heynicz . In 1670 the school was built opposite the church. In 1762 Heynitz and the surrounding villages were in desolation - there was a Prussian army corps in Katzenberg. In 1781 the peasants rebelled against the forced labor.

In 1817 August Schumann mentions Heynitz in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony concerning a. a .:

“With the epitome of the manor , the church, parish and school apartment, the village has 31 houses with 10 ½ magazine and march hooves , and around 140 residents who live from agriculture. [...] The local manor has been owned by the von Heynitz family [...] since the earliest times . The more certain news of this race, however, only dates back to the 14th century. [...] The local knight's seat , as ancestral home of this family, may have been built at the end of the 15th century; you can read on the building the dates 1510 and 1519. Members of this family owned several estates in Saxony in earlier times, […]. The current owner, since Nicol von Heynitz the eleventh of this tribe, is Christian Gottlob Adolph von Heynitz. Schriftsässig this Manor owned Vorwerk Groitsch and part of the village Kottewitz.
The residents of Heynitz have 10 ½ hooves and yellow ocher can be found in the corridors. A good wheat beer is brewed on the Rittergute. In the nearby Mühlengrunde there are two grinding mills [...]. "

In 1846 a windmill was built at the highest point of the place ( 306  m above sea level ), it burned down in 1876 as a result of lightning. The existing school was enlarged in 1853 and a new building was built in 1895. In 1892 the so-called Zechelmühle was demolished because it was in disrepair. In 1952 the LPG "Florian Geyer" was founded, and in 1960 the Heynitz and Wendischbora cooperatives merged.

Until it was incorporated into the city of Nossen, Heynitz was part of the municipality of the same name. So in 1935 Kottewitz, Wuhsen and Wunschwitz were incorporated. On January 1, 1973, the communities of Heynitz, Ilkendorf and Wendischbora merged to form the new community of Heynitz.

On January 1, 2003, after years of discussion, the Heynitz community, which was under compulsory administration , was incorporated into Nossen.

church

The church on a drawing from 1837

In a document from 1346 Heynitz is mentioned as a parochial church , which was under the archpriest of Lommatzsch . Nothing is known about the appearance and size of the building. In 1523, Bishop Benno von Heynitz is the patron saint of the von Heynitz family and the village. In 1539 Heynitz became Protestant and withdrew from the influence of the Archpriest von Lommatzsch.

The current church building dates from the year 1720, with an extensive renovation of the pre-Reformation building. The previous building must have been very low, as the walls were raised by 3 cubits and a second gallery was built. The construction costs amounted to 550 thalers. The church tower had to be repaired as early as 1768 and again in 1791.

Concerning the church, Schumann cites in the state, postal and newspaper lexicon:

“The local church and school are under the inspection of Meißen and under the collature of the manor owner. The following places are included in the local church: Kottewitz, Wunschwitz, Neu Wunschwitz, Wuhsen and the so-called Berg, under Kottewitz. […] The first Lutheran preacher, Petrus Barth, came here in 1541; the current preacher is the eighteenth since the Reformation. The bells on the local church are noticeable because of their antiquity; the most recent is from 1533, [...] "

A second renovation took place in 1842, during which the organ, which until then stood next to the pulpit, was given its place on the west side above the entrance. In 1863 the tower was covered with slate instead of the previous shingle roof. After a lightning strike on July 3, 1879, it burned down to the top of the tower. The organ from 1736 also suffered from the fire; in 1894 it was replaced by a new one.
In 1960 the church tower roof was re-covered and extensively renewed inside and outside between 1984 and 1991.
