history

The manor house of the Mausitz manor around 1850

Mausitz was first mentioned in 1030 as Misici and is of Slavic origin. A Henricus de Musitz is documented in 1269 . Probably there was already a manor in the village at that time. Later, for reasons unknown, the settlement fell into desolation . Only a single estate remained as the nucleus of the Mausitz manor. This is mentioned for the first time in 1548 and was owned by Christoph Pflugk in 1578. The von Pflugk family also owned the manor in nearby Eythra before it had to be auctioned in 1649 due to over-indebtedness. The buyer was the Electoral Saxon Chamber, Mountain and Appeal Councilor Dietrich von Werthern . Mausitz is parish after Großdalzig.

Both goods remained closely linked until the 19th century. From 1658 the owner was Dietrich von Werthern's daughter and her husband Johann Georg von Rechenberg . In 1719 Georg von Werthern the Elder bought Ä. Eythra and the Mausitz manor back. Since the von Werthern family held high offices at the electoral court, they left the management of their property to various tenants. From 1806 the Mausitz manor belonged to the Senfft von Pilsach family . In 1819 the Leipzig cloth and wool merchant bought Chamberlain David Anger Eythra and Mausitz. With this, Mausitz came into the possession of a middle-class family who kept it until 1945.

Since Mausitz belonged to the old manuscripts , its owners had considerable rights. These included the jurisdiction over numerous places in the area, u. a. Via Großdalzig , Tellschütz , Löbschütz , Schnaudertrebnitz , Kleinwischstauden , Brösen , Kleinstolpen , Cöllnitz , Obertitz , Langenhain , Bennewitz (temporarily) and Pödelwitz . It was not until 1855 that Alexander Anger ceded the jurisdiction of the manors Eythra and Mausitz to the state. At the same time the administrative affiliation changed from the Pegau office to the Zwenkau court office . In the course of an administrative reform in Saxony, Mausitz, which was now regarded as a district of Großdalzig, became part of the Leipzig district administration in 1875 , and in 1952 became part of the newly formed Leipzig-Land district . Since October 1, 1993, Großdalzig and its districts, including Mausitz, belong to the city of Zwenkau.

The mansion after the renovation in 1913.

In 1913 the manor house was rebuilt and enlarged by the Anger family. In 1914, Mausitz owned a total of 164 hectares of land (fields, meadows and pastures). Under the last owner, Colonel Martin Anger, the property was leased to changing tenants. In 1930, a sports field was built on Rittergutsfeld, and in the early 1930s, Anger allocated building sites on favorable terms. In the course of the land reform , the Anger family was expropriated and expelled in 1945. The mansion was blown up.

Townscape

The settlement essentially consists of the buildings of the former manor, an extensive open estate. Today's buildings were built in the 19th century and are partially used for residential purposes or are unused. The former manor house no longer exists. Some farm buildings were also demolished. The complex also includes a small, now overgrown landscape park. The former swan pond north of the property has dried up.
