history

The town was first documented in 1161 as mordiz with the entry de burgwardis [...] mordiz recorded. Mentioned as Mordiz in 1342 , the spelling Morcz was found in 1383 and the spelling Mörtz , in dialect Mörts, around 1500 . The Slavic name is formed from a personal name and denotes a place where people of a man Morda lived . The dialect name Mörtz was later used to explain the personal name Moritz , from which the legend of Count Moritz originated, who is said to have built the Moritzburg here. Rather, the Burgward was very likely originally a Slavic rampart - at the northeastern end of the village a ring-like structure can still be seen today (as of 2015). The prehistorian and castle researcher Joachim Herrmann wrote in 1997 about Mörzer Castle:

“During the excavations in Mordiz, remnants of the cultural layers from 1161 were cut. The ceramic material that was found during excavations in Mörz was still entirely in the Slavic tradition, only a few Saxon-German ceramics were found. The fortification was composed of a wooden earth structure. The castles of the Burgwarde were at the same time the focal points of the parish organization, the construction of which was now pursued with vigor. The parish at Burgward Mörz included several places that could be identified by name and location. Where archaeological observations were possible, these indicate originally Slavic inhabitants. The Burgwart Niemecke was only a few kilometers away . Obviously, the silt-containing arable soil on the Hohen Fläming offered good conditions for high-yield agriculture and thus for dense settlement. "

- Joachim Herrmann, 1997
