history
There are first traces of human settlement in Lenz from the Neolithic Age . Lenz was originally a street green village with a corridor . The place was first mentioned in a document in 1318 as Theodericus de Lenz . The place name is interpreted as a "settlement where flax is grown" . Other forms of the place name were over time: Lentz (1320), Lyncz (1350), Lencz (1378), Lyncz (1378), das dorff den Lenncz (1496) and Lens (1540).
There have been a few changes of ownership over the centuries. In 1378 the place, the size of which was given around 1406 as 18 Hufen, belonged to Hayn Castle , in 1547 to the town of Hayn and probably from around 1551 to the manor in Döbritzchen . Around 1840 the place had 179 inhabitants. At that time, the village included a forge that was only set up in the previous year, an inn with a distillery in the upper village and a hop mill.
Lenz has been part of the Priestewitz community since January 1st, 1999 .
