history

Lessa was first mentioned in 1289 as the manor of Heinricus de Lessowe. In another source Lessa was even mentioned on July 19, 1013, when King Heinrich II gave several villages to the Meissen Abbey, which had been damaged by enemy devastation, including the village of Glussi (Dep. Cap. Misn. No. 1.- in the Gau "Daleminci"). in the CS11.1,25 wrongly Glupp). The initial G changed into inaudible H in Sorbian, which was often completely omitted in writing: Glussi- Lussi- Lessa.

The place name was changed several times, so Lessa was called in 1289 in the name of Heinricus de Lessowe , 1342 Lezzowe , 1380 (around 1380) Leßau , 1464 Lesaw , 1472 Lessaw , 1555 Lesse , 1664 Leßa and Lößa in 1745. The original royal estate later went to the Meissen Abbey before it later became a margravial fief. In 1464 it belonged with both courts to the manor Grödel in the Hayn office. After 1385, Landgrave Friedrich enfeoffed two Riesa nuns and one in the Holy Cross Monastery with 60 gr. And 1ß annual interest in Villa Leßau with the approval of the brothers Hermann and Friedrich Karas. In 1464 von Schleinitz owned the village and inheritance court on Grödel. In 1472 Tietze von Schleinitz owned 2 possessed men with all courts in Lessa. In 1537 Joachim von Schleinitz on Skassa sells interest to the cathedral chapter of Meissen. In 1555 the manor Skassa held the manor in Lessa until Lessa returned to the manor Grödel in 1696. It stayed there until the patrimonial courts were abolished.

Lessa was parish in Gröba until 2001, after which it belonged to the Riesa-West parish. If someone died during a flood, there was a small cemetery in Bobersen that belonged to the municipality of Bobersen and where citizens of Lessa were also allowed to be buried from February 18, 1763 after they had won this right in court. Originally Lessa lay between the ferry houses and the railway viaduct and the ferry houses belonging to Bobersen on the Elbe, where they were directly exposed to floods and ice rides. In March 1784, Lessa was hit by a devastating flood in which one landowner lost all of his cattle except one cow. In 1799 and 1800 the landowner Johann Georg Kurz tore down the buildings on his estate and had them rebuilt at their current location. After the buildings of his then neighbor Johann Friedrich Zimmermann were torn away by the ice in 1820, he followed him to the new location. In 1827 Bobersen built it together with Lessa for 300 thalers. a school house. Previously, lessons were held in rented rooms by a convertible school teacher who was responsible for several locations.

In 1925 41 residents of Lessa were Evangelical Lutheran and 1 resident belonged to another denomination.

On April 23, 1745, Count von Wolfersdorff on Grödel received the medium-sized hunt and pheasantry on loess fields and trees . The Saxon rural community order of 1838 gave the village independence as a rural community. From 1856 on, Lessa was administered by the Riesa court office and from 1875 by the authority in Großenhain. In 1936 Lessa was incorporated into Bobersen.

Saxons came after the Second World War in the Soviet zone of occupation and later the GDR . After the territorial reform in 1952 , Lessa was assigned to the Riesa district in the Dresden district . After the German reunification , Bobersen and Lessa came to the re-established Free State of Saxony. The following regional reforms in Saxony assigned Bobersen with Lessa in 1994 to the district of Riesa-Großenhain and in 2008 to the district of Meißen. The municipality Röderau-Bobersen was created in 1994 through the merger of Röderau and Bobersen . On July 1, 2002, Röderau-Bobersen was incorporated into Zeithain.

In the flood of the century in 2002 , Bobersen and Lessa were badly hit. On August 16, 2002, the Elbe embankment broke near Moritz and the Elbaue between Moritz, Promnitz, Röderau and Bobersen / Lessa was full within a short time.
