The district, which has merged with the city center over time, is located approx. 500 meters south of Zwenkauer Markt on Pegauer Straße / Kotzschbarhöhe. To the south, the district of Imnitz , which has also belonged to Zwenkau since 1929, borders on Kotzschbar.

history

Kotzschbar was created in the course of the advancing Slavic settlement in the fertile Leipzig lowland bay as a dead end village with a block u. Strip corridor . The place was first mentioned in 1403 as Koschber . The name is probably derived from the Slavic kodsch (= forest) and bar (= mountain, height), which indicates the location of the settlement on a wooded tongue above the Elsteraue .

In 1472 a Vorwerk is mentioned in Kotzschbar , in 1548 a manor . This was also responsible for the manorial rule over the village. For many years this was in the possession of the von Schlegel noble family, which was widely ramified in Central Germany. Closely connected with Kotzschbar was the Imnitz manor, which was at times referred to as an annex, but later became the headquarters of the manor rule. In the 19th century, the inheritance courts over Kotzschbar also belonged to the Imnitz manor, while the administration and the higher courts were incumbent on the Pegau office . In 1856 they moved to the court office in Zwenkau . In the course of an administrative reform in Saxony, Kotzschbar came to the Leipzig district administration in 1875 . The church was originally parish to Zwenkau, from 1562 it belonged to the church of Imnitz. In the 1920s, the area of ​​the manor came to the mining company Aktiengesellschaft Sächsische Werke , which a little later used the parts of it east of the village for the mining of lignite. In 1929 the place was incorporated into Zwenkau together with Imnitz.
