history

The place name Meusegast probably goes back to * Mužigost, the first name of a Slavic locator. A derivation from * Mušegozd, the Old Sorbian word for "fly / mosquito forest", can not be ruled out . Older, more popular interpretations led the place name back to the Slavic “myši chvost”, German “mouse tail”. The place name was first mentioned in 1288 as "Musegost", and in 1445 it was "Müßegast". Early on, a distinction was made between “Obirmeusegast” (1460) and “Nider Mewsegast” (1493). In the 16th century the place name was greatly shortened; The spellings “Ober Mewsseß”, “Nieder vnd obir Meysigk” and “Nidermeysges” are documented during this period.
Niedermeusegast was a farmer's hamlet with a large estate surrounded by a block corridor with estate blocks totaling 4½ hooves . Obermeusegast was a row-shaped farmer hamlet in a 4-hoof block corridor. In the 15th and 16th centuries there was an outwork in both places . In the 15th century, the owners were members of the von Korbitz family, who came from the town of the same name near Meißen . After that, the owner of the practiced manor Weesenstein the basic rule out. The Vorwerk in Niedermeusegast itself developed into a manor in the 17th century and belonged to the Bünau family . Meusegast was on the main route of important long-distance routes from Saxony to Bohemia, such as the Kulmer Steig and the Alte Dresden-Teplitzer Poststrasse . A post-mile column in the Electorate of Saxony , which stands northeast of Meusegast, still bears witness to this today .
Meusegast had belonged to the Saxon kings since the 19th century; the possession of Meusegast was thus again connected with the possession of Weesenstein. The last Albertine owner of Meusegast was Prince Johann Georg of Saxony . In the 1890s he leased the manor to Robert von Lippe (1844–1924) and sold it to the bourgeois Bauer family after the First World War . After the end of World War II , the Soviet occupation troops administered the manor. The mansion was demolished after 1945.
The administration of Meusegast was initially the responsibility of the Dohna Department, from the 16th century to the Pirna Office and then to the Pirna Court Office in 1856. On the basis of the rural community code of 1838 , Meusegast gained independence as a rural community . In 1875 this was part of the Pirna Authority . The district Meusegast had in 1900 an area of approximately 372 hectares. In the time of the GDR it belonged to the Pirna district from 1952 . On January 1, 1999, Meusegast was incorporated into Dohna .
