history

The place was first mentioned in 1272 as Gezzen ultra Albeam , when he belonged to the possession of a "Henricus de Bathensdorp" (Heinrich von Batzdorf ). The place name is of Old Sorbian origin, comes from * jeseń, the word for ash (cf. Upper Sorbian jaseń ) and thus means "settlement near the ash / ash trees". The addition "ultra Albeam" means "beyond the Elbe " and indicates the location as seen from Meißen - in contrast to the Lommatzsch district of Jessen of the same name , which is located on the left Elbe on the side of the Meißen old town . In the following centuries the forms "Yessen", "Gessen", "Yezzen" and "Gesse" are guaranteed. The current spelling is documented as early as 1378. In 1875 the place was called “Jessen b. Meissen ”.

The street green village was surrounded in 1900 by a 366 hectare large corridor . The residents of Jessen lived mainly from agriculture ; in 1764 they cultivated an area of ​​21 hooves of 10 to 13 bushels each . Jessen was and is parish to Gröbern. The manorial rule in Jessen was exercised by the Meissen cathedral chapter in 1547, a portion of which was also subordinate to the Scharfenberg manor . Administration in the 16th century was the responsibility of the Hayn Office , then the Procuratorial Office in 1764 and, in part, the Meissen Hereditary Office . In 1856 Jessen then belonged to the Meißen court office and then joined the Meißen district administration , from which the district of the same name emerged . On the basis of the rural community code of 1838 , Jessen became independent as a rural community . The incorporation to Gröbern took place in 1965, since 1994 Jessen belongs to the municipality of Niederau.
