history
Mörtitz was first mentioned in a document in 1260, Mensdorf in 1314. Until 1815 the village belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Eilenburg . The resolutions of the Congress of Vienna led to Prussia and in 1816 it was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony , to which it belonged until 1952.
In 1936 Mensdorf and Rote Jahne were incorporated into Mörtitz. After the Second World War, Mörtitz's population was just over 1,000. In the course of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, Mörtitz was joined with Mensdorf and Rote Jahne to the Eilenburg district in the Leipzig district , which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 . On January 1, 1996, it was merged with five other municipalities to form the municipality of Doberschütz.
