The place name was changed several times, so in 1284 Lichtensee was called Lichtense , 1406 Lichtinse and 1552 Lichtensehe . The place is named after a former lake, which has been handed down as the old Lichtensee, was west of Lichtensee and to which the name of the corridor still refers to the seascapes . On November 22nd, 1284, the Bishop of Naumburg sold annual interest to the Margrave of Meißen in Lichtensee, which is the first mention of the place. Until then, Lichtensee belonged to the diocese of Naumburg until it came into the margravial possession. Until 1406 the place controlled the land prayers to the office of Grossenhain for 28 Hufen land. There is evidence that Lichtensee belonged to the von Pflugk auf Strehla family on November 26th 1441 and remained in their possession until the 19th century. In 1606 the place went to the Oschatz office . An important road from Großenhain to Torgau via Mühlberg ran right next to Lichtensee. From a message from the second half of the 15th century it is known that from 1451 to 1500 Hans Keseler, who had his official residence in Lichtensee, was used as a scout against muggers . In Lichtensee, like in Koselitz, the water for ponds was dammed. In 1622 the pond dam is said to have been pierced by the community, which ruined and devastated the fields and the summer harvest for the Spansberg farmers. In the Thirty Years War, the place burned down to three barns. After 1628 thirteen houses were rebuilt. The inn is documented as early as 1580. In 1688, two and a half Hufen Land belonged to the Lichtenseer Schenkgut, which also had the right to brew. Before 1671, the Schenkgut also included a forge, which was separated from it that year. In the same year two windmills belonged to the place. In 1762 these mills still exist and a sheep farm is documented. The hat was in the direction of Wülknitz. The rest of the village guard was in 1558 in the Gohrischheide and in 1588 in Metzholz. During the pleasure camp of Zeithain , which took place nearby , a company under Rittmeister von Klestmann was housed in the village. Due to the troops passing by during the Seven Years' War, Lichtensee was so impoverished that the community had to sell the hut and ask for tax rebates. In 1759 a cattle disease occurred in which 200 animals died, including 70 draft oxen and 54 cows. A church message from 1760 says that funerals and infant baptisms were hindered by Austrian hussars and Croatians.
Before 1775 there was a school in Lichtensee, which was replaced by a new building that year. An annex was added to this school in 1889. In 1790 Lichtensee had 50 fireplaces and 181 residents. In 1808 48 taxpayers lived in the village. During the Wars of Liberation in 1813 there was a battle between French and Russian troops between Streumen and Lichtensee. The place suffered again from passing troops. In 1838, Lichtensee had a church, a school, a poor house and a hat house, a tavern with a brewery and distillery, 24 farmers, eight small houses, a blacksmith shop and two windmills.
Saxons came after the Second World War in the Soviet zone of occupation and later the GDR . After the territorial reform in 1952 , Lichtensee was assigned to the Riesa district in the Dresden district . After the school was rebuilt in Wülknitz, the Lichtensee students went to school there from 1975 until it was closed in 2005. After the German reunification , the place came to the re-established Free State of Saxony. The following regional reforms in Saxony assigned Lichtensee to the district of Riesa-Großenhain in 1994 and to the district of Meißen in 2008 . On January 1, 1994, Lichtensee was incorporated into the municipality of Wülknitz.
The Lichtensee church
→ Main article: Dorfkirche Lichtensee
The church was mentioned in a document as early as 1284. In 1495 Lichtensee paid one mark bishop interest to Meissen. Around 1500 the Nieska branch church belonged to the church. After the Reformation, Lichtensee became a branch church of Streumen. In 1608 the construction of a stone tower was started instead of the one previously made of wood. In 1642, during the Thirty Years' War, the church roof was damaged by fire and could only be repaired again in 1653. In 1801 lightning damaged the tower hood, which was then re-covered in 1826. The nave and choir were demolished in 1897. In 1898 the church was rebuilt according to plans by Theodor Quentin in order to adapt it to the requirements of a garrison church. The old tower was raised by four meters and the tower hood was lifted off. The wooden ceiling, resting on four pillars, consists of two crossing barrels.
On the second gallery there is a two-manual organ made by the Nagel company from Großenhain in 1858. The second manual was probably added in 1897. The organ has a sliding chest with a mechanical action.
The chancel is determined by a small Martin Luther sculpture on the north side, the altar with the altarpiece, a copy of Titian's “Sacra Conversazione” and the pulpit on the south side with a representation of the “Sinking Peter”.
regional customs
Until after the Second World War, the old custom of pretzel singing on Sunday Latars was maintained in Lichtensee . The girls went through the village singing from house to house with pine trees that were about three feet (the lower branches were removed) and decorated with colorful ribbons at the top, and were rewarded with pretzels. The boys had a flag about a meter long. This custom died out in Lichtensee, but was successfully revived in the neighboring town of Peritz .
The custom of carrying out death was also cultivated in Lichtensee . A made-up straw doll depicting winter death was carried out of the village and torn to pieces in a certain place and then thrown into the water.
