history
The place was first mentioned in 1286 as Chotatscuitz . The place name is interpreted as "settlement of the people of a Chotač" . Other forms of the place name were in the course of time: Kotatschwicz (1350), Kotecswicz, Katecschwicz (1378), Kattaczschwicz (1406), Kotzschkewitzsch (1474), Kottewitzsch (1544), Cothwiz (1555), and finally Kottewitz in 1791.
The place was once laid out as a dead end village with a corridor . The village was originally a margravial fiefdom and subordinate to the Seusslitz monastery , but in 1372 it was now considered to have fallen in desolation. Subordinate to Hayn Castle in 1378 , the site, which covers an area of 11 Hufen, paid prayers for Hayn in 1406 . After the Reformation, the Meißen school authority also had shares in Kottewitz. The school office held 6 hooves. The other 5 hooves belonged in the meantime to Georg von Kommerstadt, who at that time owned many other places in the area. In the period that followed, Kottewitz was partly a school and administrative village. Around 1830 10 farmers were resident here, 6 farmers with 7 hooves of land belonging to the Großenhain school office.
From a church perspective, Kottewitz had been parish in Strießen since 1539, where the school was also located.
In 1960, Kottewitz was combined with the neighboring community of Stauda to form the community of Kottewitz-Stauda , which in 1973 became part of the community of Priestewitz.
