history
The village was first mentioned in 1428 as "Katenwicz". The name is derived from the Old Sorbian "Chotěnovici", which in turn goes back to the locator name "Chotěn". The place name means something like "settlement of the people of a Chotěn". Over the centuries it changed, among other things, via the forms "Cottenwicz", "Kötthewitz", "Kothwitz" and "Köttewitz bey Taubenheim" to the current spelling. In the 19th century, the form "Köttewitz", which was used before the delabialization , was also in use.
The castle wall on the Jokischberg dates back to the Middle Ages, when the area was settled by Slavs . A smaller rampart is opposite it on the other side of the Triebischtal in Robschütz. The fortifications on the mountain spur, which is only accessible from the east, of which parts of the ramparts and the inner ditch have been preserved, encompass an area of considerable size with about four hectares. Archaeological surface finds have been made in this area. The name of the elevation, also popularly known as "Gucksch" or "Kokisch", can be explained with a Slavic form of Jakob, such as Jokuš. Parts of the site were used as burial grounds as early as the Bronze Age, but fortifications from this period do not exist.
Around the village of Kettewitz, whose residents earned their income from agriculture, there was a 209 hectare block and striped field . Parish was and is the village after Taubenheim. The owners of the manor there also exercised the manorial rule in Kettewitz. For centuries, the administration of the place was the responsibility of the Meissen Hereditary Authority . In 1856 Kettewitz belonged to the Meißen court office and then came to the Meißen district administration , from which the district of the same name emerged. On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Kettewitz gained independence as a rural community , but lost its independence on April 1, 1938 when it was incorporated into Sönitz. As part of it, Taubenheim came into being in 1974, which in turn has belonged to Triebischtal since 2004. Kettewitz has been part of the Klipphausen community since July 1, 2012.
