The village was first mentioned in a deed of foundation in the Grimma Monastery in 1251 and its name refers to a noble family that died out in 1676, namely Guntherus de Kiczschere .

The oldest building in the village is the church, the origins of which date back to around 1200. In 1685 it was rebuilt and expanded. From 1787 Gustav Friedrich Dinter worked as a preacher (parish substitute) and from 1790 until he was recalled to Dresden as a pastor. At the same time he organized the elementary school system there and trained teachers in a private seminar.

In 1817 August Schumann mentions Kitzscher and the local manor in the state, post and newspaper encyclopedia of Saxony regarding a. a .:

"It is part schriftsässig to the local manor , which the on August 5, 1698 Schriftsässigkeit gained, and which even the villages Habitz, Dittmannsdorf and part of Hennersdorf are responsible. He has the right of patronage over the local mother church and school. [...] The manor belonged to those of Kitzscher from the 16th to the 18th century. "

Kitzscher was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Borna until 1856 . From 1856 the place belonged to the Borna court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration .

With the development of lignite mining , the character of the place also changed. In the 1940s, a miners' settlement was built based on designs by Leipzig architect Curt Schiemichen . It is the largest still preserved settlement of mining industrialization in Saxony. As a result, the population also increased. On October 5, 1974, Kitzscher received town charter.

coat of arms
Kitzscher coat of arms
 Blazon : "In a split shield in front five times divided by silver and black, behind in green the silver clad Saint Nicholas with a silver miter , in his right hand a golden crook , in the left a black book with three golden balls on it."
Reasons for the coat of arms: The divisions in the front field were taken from the coat of arms of the von Kitzscher noble family, which died out at the beginning of the 19th century. This coat of arms is documented for the first time in 1440 on a seal "Reinhards von Kitzscher". The back field shows St. Nicholas of Myra. This saint stands for the patronage of the local church.

The coat of arms of Kitzscher was approved on August 11, 1992 by the then competent Saxon State Ministry of the Interior.
