history
A document from 1255 mentions a "Hug de Nassowe" ( Hugo von Nassau). This is the oldest known name of "Nassau" and reason to believe that there was a manor house in the village at that time. Eleven years later there is a " Tammo de Nazowe" in the annals. From the 15th to the 17th century, other mentions are documented, including "Nassow", "Nassaw", "Nassa", "Naße" and "Nossa". "Naßa, a so-called corridor near Weinböhle, so mostly in meadows", is guaranteed for 1791. In 1875 "Nassau" and "Milchinsel" were both in use. The place name is of German origin and self-explanatory. It simply means "settlement in the water-rich, wet floodplain ".
In Nassau there used to be a moated castle on which, according to legend, a robber baron from the Karras family sat. An allodium in Nassau was mentioned in 1513, and then in 1516 and 1621 an outwork of Proschwitz Castle . However, the manorial rule initially exercised the Altzella monastery , in 1791 Nassau was immediately official. The administration of the place, which is mainly surrounded by a meadow, was the responsibility of the Meissen Hereditary Authority that year ; he then came to the Office of Meißen , from which the district of the same name emerged. The too small town of Nassau - in 1406 four gardeners lived in the town, in 1875 there were only four residents - was never independent as a rural community . In 1839 the manor block corridor covered around 82 hectares, in 1875 the Vorwerk belonged to Bohnitzsch . As its district, it was incorporated into Meißen on April 1, 1914 .
After the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone , the new rulers handed over the former Vorwerk to a family of new farmers . There was another change of ownership in 1970. The house was restored immediately after the fall of the Wall and the ruinous stables were demolished. A new hotel was built in its place in 1990/91. Before that, a new development area had been built in two stages on the nearby Albert-Mücke-Ring between 1976 and 1987.
