history

Methewitz was mentioned in 1484 as "Metewicz". The place name is of Slavic origin, the root word "Meta" / "Metati" means "thrower". Methewitz was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Pegau until 1856 . The jurisdiction over Methewitz lay with the manor Löbnitz , ecclesiastically the place is parish to Michelwitz until today . From 1856 the place belonged to the judicial office of Pegau and from 1875 to the district administration Borna .

Since 1879, Methewitz had a connection to the Gaschwitz – Meuselwitz railway line opened in 1874 in the neighboring town of Käferhain to the east . On October 1, 1948, the neighboring towns of Nöthnitz and Käferhain were incorporated into Methewitz. In 1952 the municipality of Methewitz and its two districts came to the Borna district in the Leipzig district . Methewitz was incorporated into Auligk on July 1, 1973. The Käferhain district east of Methewitz had to give way to the Groitzscher Dreieck opencast mine (1974-1991) in 1985/86 . The Gaschwitz – Meuselwitz railway line on the Groitzsch – Lucka section (Kr Altenburg) had already been closed in 1976.

As a district of Auligk, Methewitz was assigned to the Saxon district of Borna in 1990 and to the district of Leipziger Land in 1994 . When Auligk was incorporated into Groitzsch on January 1, 1996, Methewitz became a part of the town of Groitzsch.
