Name interpretation

The mention of the quarum prima Musitscin can point to the mysbcani , that is, the people on the small prominent height around which water flows. The current name Mutzschener Wasser is a reference to the disappeared Orechnovna river , which was to be assigned to the Mulde system. Therefore, the understanding of the German colonists in the word usage of the original semantics of the old Slavic place and field names, the otherwise more typical Slavic water classification, is handed down here in the German name Mutzschener Wasser .

coat of arms

You can see two silver, square towers with a red onion roof, with a tall silver tower with a pointed roof in a blue field in between. The colors were determined ex officio. The entrance to the middle tower is covered by a red sign with a silver spoonbill . This has been the reference to the pond and fish-rich area around Mutzschen since 1872, the rest of the coat of arms are a pure fantasy product of the seal cutters of that time.

history

Prehistory and early history

The current urban area was settled in the early Bronze Age. On the spur on which the castle stands today, a fortified settlement of the Aunjetitz culture was built, which is one of the very few known facilities of this type north of the low mountain range. The remains of an extensive barrow field are preserved at the Doktorteich .

Early and High Middle Ages

In the 8th century the area was settled by Slavic groups, who from the 9th century built castles on the Mutzschener Schlossberg and above Köllmichen on the Alte Schanze . With the incorporation of the areas between Saale and Elbe under Kings Heinrich I and Otto I into Eastern Franconia , a Burgward was probably set up in the area around Mutzschen , the center of which was the seat of rule and administration in the region in Mutzschen or on the Alte Hill lay. In historical research it is assumed that the church of Burgwardes was built on the site of today's town church in the former outer bailey in the second half of the 10th century or around 1000. In 1081 King Heinrich IV gave his faithful Chitele the three villages ( villae ) Mutzschen ( Musitscin ), Böhlitz ( Beliz , now part of the city of Grimma) and Mehlis ( Milus , desert between Böhlitz and Prösitz) along with all accessories and all income free ownership, as well as the forest belonging to Mutzschen within specified limits in the Gau Chutizi in the county of Ekberts , as can be seen from a document issued on March 18, 1081 in Regensburg. With this crown gift, the basis for a spatially limited allodial manorial estate south of the Wermsdorf Forest is created. The forest later belonged to the Mutzschen rulership as Mutzschener Heide or Wermsdorfer Forst. The hamlet-like settlement, which was probably already in the 9th / 10th. It was built in the 19th century and is located at the southern end of the city in the area between the pottery market and the bridge over the Mutzschener Wasser . At this point, the city plan shows rather irregular plots and houses, as they were typical of the settlements of the Slavs in the early Middle Ages.

Urban development

In 1206, a Konrad von Mutzschen ( Cunradus de Mutsin ) was named as a witness in a document for the first time. In connection with Döben and Luppa (Wermsdorf) , Konrad von Mutzschen is a nobleman and thus an indication of older roots in this region than the documents can deliver. The noble sex died out in the male line at the end of the 13th century or migrated to Upper Lusatia . Probably around 1290, but certainly before 1308, the Burgraves of Leisnig acquired the castle and rule of Mutzschen. In a document from 1308 they name Mutzschen for the first time castrum nostrum . The town of Mutzschen consists of two broad main streets, the east-west facing Obergasse and the north-south running Untergasse, which meet east of the town church at the irregularly square market. Based on the course of the street and the tax ratios documented in the land register from 1848, a theory of urban development was developed in two steps. In a first stage, in the decades from 1100 to 1150 above the older settlement, a settlement along Untergasse and around the pottery market, presumably the earliest market with the elongated shape that is typical of such, arose. In a second stage, around 1150, the planned goods were laid out on Obergasse.

Albrecht the Courageous

Late Middle Ages

In 1341 a local pastor and thus a parish organization was recorded for the first time with the naming of a plebanus . In 1350 Mutzschen was referred to as an oppidum . In the relevant certificate, she was granted a weekly Tuesday market and brewing rights. Around 1400 the castle changed hands to the von Starschedel family . Mutzschen remained, however, like Trebsen and Nerchau , a minor city that could not achieve the urban freedoms common in the Middle Ages. The city judge was appointed by the landlord to administer the city, and there were no mayors and councilors in the Middle Ages and early modern times. A closed city ​​wall did not exist either. After returning from a pilgrimage to accompany Albrecht the Courageous in 1476 , Heinrich von Starschedel founded a monastery of the Marienknechte or Servites at the city church , who also held the parish offices of Mutzschen, Wermsdorf and Fremdiswalde. In this context, the church was expanded and a small cloister was built. With the secularization of 1530, the Servite monastery, which is said to have housed Thomas Müntzer for a few months , already closed again.

Modern times

In 1523 Mutzschen was again referred to as a town, for 1544 the award of various town privileges is documented, which is generally associated with the award of town charter . In 1551 the town comprised 28 estates and 38 houses, the number of inhabitants should have been around 400. Elector August of Saxony acquired the castle, manor and place in 1565 . As early as 1556, the Lords of Starschedel had sold Wermsdorf to the Elector, so that he could now fully realize his rule over the Wermsdorf Forest . Mutzschen became the center and seat of the Mutzschen office, which existed until 1856 . The village of Wermsdorf belonged to the Mutzschen office, which is why the official seat was moved there in 1681 when the city of Mutzschen was completely destroyed by a city fire. The cemetery church at the eastern exit of the city was not built until around 1600. In the land tax assessments of 1661 and 1667, Mutzschen comprised 32 goods, 6 of which were owned by horsemen (carters) and 26 by rear passengers . In addition, there were already 72 houses , which suggests a not inconsiderable increase in the population. In 1688, in addition to the hoof-owning goods, there were four shoemakers, four linen weavers, three potters, three day laborers, two butchers, two bakers, cootters , glaziers and carpenters and one blacksmith, saddler, rope maker and bricklayer each, and one cottage worker was a soldier. Great fires devastated the city in 1637, 1681, 1685 and 1724. The simple houses on the market are therefore essentially from the 18th century and were built in the Baroque style. Because of the uniform structure and hardly any changes, the market was placed under monument protection. In the years 1831 to 1834 the inhabitants succeeded in buying out their labor . In 1849, Mutzschener Turner wanted to take part in the revolution of 1848/49 , but came too late and were still punished on their return. The gymnast's flag carried in 1847 hangs in the city museum today. In 1888 the Mügeln – Neichen narrow-gauge railway , the so-called “Wild Robert”, went into operation with a station in Mutzschen. Eighty Mutzschers lost their lives in the First World War. The train service to Mutzschen was stopped in 1970. At least since modern times, the relatively thick layers of loess loam in front of the city have served as the material basis for numerous pottery and kiln making companies. A porcelain factory in Mutzschen initially produced bisque porcelain and later switched to technical ceramics, especially insulators . The numerous, sometimes multi-storey, deep cellars and so-called "caves" were created through the clay quarrying, which in some cases also took place underground . Some families made a living from cigar production for about 100 years. Mutzschen was largely spared the destruction of the two world wars. The city has had to bear a heavy financial burden to this day because of the costs of the 17.8 hectares of commercial space that was developed in large numbers during the general euphoria of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Especially since these were never fully used. After the fall of the Wall, the former owner and administrator of the private Emil Naumann Family Foundation, expropriated by the Stalinists, tried to get his property back and publicly accused the city of stolen goods. The unreal hopes of the city of Mutzschen for the multi-million dollar oil sheik and other wishful thoughts, or to achieve high sales proceeds with the property stolen after 1945 and thus fill the city's tight coffers, never came true. After years of neglect, the empty and unused castle became more and more a ruin. The land use plan drawn up by the city in 1998 was approved by the Free State of Saxony in 2002. In 2009 Mutzschen won a Saxon state competition and became the smartest city ​​in Saxony. In 2010, the large medieval drinking water cistern on the market, which was fed by a meadow on Böhlitzer Weg, called Langhan, was filled in during paving work. Until the 1990s, the cistern was used as a fire fighting water storage facility. In a decision by the Ministry of Culture, the primary school should also be closed in 2011 after the middle school was closed in 2004. Mayor Carsten Graf said in public: We had always believed that Mutzschen was a pilot project for wastewater disposal. In reality we have been a corresponding project for the disposal of an entire city for 20 years!

On January 1, 2012, Mutzschen was incorporated into the large district town of Grimma.

The Mutzschen Pietists

Abuses in church life, insecure use of masses, unspiritual behavior on the part of pastors promoted the spread of separatism around the surgeon Samuel Siegfried in the Evangelical Lutheran Church around 1731 . In 1740 there were thirty so-called Pietists in Mutzschen. This included craftsmen and traders. Although the superintendents responsible for Mutzschen from Grimma and the local chaplains, who were regularly replaced, reacted to the accusations with pastoral seriousness, they did not succeed in persuading Siegfried's separatist supporters to attend church services and the Lord's Supper. Even tougher measures such as the confiscation of suspicious books or the threat of deportation were unsuccessful. The lack of interest in what was happening at the Dresden court and the tolerance by the senior consistory narrowed the local pastor's room for maneuver enormously. Only the Enlightenment prevented a further spread of this new form of Protestantism within the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

church

Mutzschen's town church, which was begun in 1250, was rebuilt in 1490 by a donation from Heinrich von Starschedel to become the monastery of the Order of Mary Servites. The monastery buildings were added to the church, a cloister led from the new north portal on the tower around the monastery courtyard. The portal from 1490 on the west gable has been preserved from this period. The church was damaged in the Thirty Years' War and redesigned in 1834 and after 1940. Because an underground passage that had collapsed in 1940 led to a collapse, the choir had to be separated from the ship. The winged altar was donated and created from 1959 to 1962 by the Munich academy professor Charles Crodel . In 2001 the interior was renovated, with the church receiving a new coffered ceiling.

Cemetery church

The cemetery church, donated by Tham Pflug in 1599, consists of a small flat-roofed hall with a three-sided east end. The roof is crowned by a ridge turret. As for the interior, in addition to the simple gallery, the pulpit dated 1602 and the small winged altar with the epitaph by B. Kesler (died 1608) and the wooden crucifix (1660–1670) attributed to Johann Heinrich Böhme the Elder should be mentioned.

French grave on Lindigt

In the immediate vicinity of the Horstsee, one of the Wermsdorfer ponds, there is a small forest, which is called the Lindigt , as an extension of the Wermsdorfer Forest . Several larger and smaller hills arch here, with an inconspicuous memorial stone in between, which is shaded by a large linden tree. It says: The Warriors Resting Here from 1813 The KSMiltärvereine Wermsdorf and Mutzschen . It is a mass grave with more than 10,000 dead, fallen in the Great Battle of the Nations near Leipzig. Mainly French, hence the name.

Agriculture

LPG red banner

The LPG Type III Rotes Banner was founded in 1953. On the occasion of the 6th German Farmers' Congress in the GDR , the LPG undertook to implement the specified state plan by December 8, 1960 ahead of schedule. By the end of the year, 30 dt pork, 30 dt beef, 4 dt poultry and 30,000 kg milk had been produced. With the re-damming of the Göttwitzer See, the LPG lost 65 hectares of grassland. As of 1978, the Nerchau-Mutzschen LPG area with 600 workers had 5,000 hectares of land, 3,500 cattle, 15,000 pigs and 1,000 sheep.

The groschen find at Mutzschen

In the winter of 1973 a garage was built in the city center in a house next to the pharmacy on the market. The workers of the construction brigade Manfred Lötzsch used their pickaxes to unearth three unsightly vessels from the old farm building from a depth of 2.30 m. These contained one of the most important coin finds in Saxony: 550-year-old Meißen and Prague groschen, which were buried in the loess clay floor of the former half-timbered house with a rubble foundation in the back corner. Above that there was a thick layer of fire and destruction from the time of the Hussite devastation around 1429. The landlord was either killed or later died of the plague, otherwise he would have dug up his money again. His house was never rebuilt either. There was a garden at this point until the garage was built. The Meißner Groschen replaced the old bracteate coinage in the middle of the 14th century. The coins found were three centimeters in diameter and their weight varied between 2.54 and 3.09 grams. Remains of household items were also found in the layer of fire, such as clay dishes, a large copper kettle, as well as agricultural iron implements, a broad hoe and two plow irons. Some of the coins and information about the find can be seen in the city museum. In the cemetery there is a mighty black locust, which is one of the oldest and most magnificent trees of its kind in Germany.

At least as often as in the actual castle, the Burgward churches were located in the outer castles, for example in Rochlitz. His argument based on the course of the street aimed at the church is inconclusive, especially if the outer bailey is to be located there as the economic center.
