history

Nebelschütz was first mentioned in a document in 1304. Two brothers from Nebelschütz are mentioned in a document from the St. Marienstern monastery . Regarding the manorial ownership in Nebelschütz in the 14th and 15th centuries, there are only incomplete records. Originally, the place should have belonged to the wealthy gentlemen von Kamenz in the area . In the interest register of Marienstern from 1374 it is mentioned that the Cistercian women received income from Nebelschütz. The village or at least some goods in the village were sold or pledged several times during the 15th century. As landlords over parts of Nebelschütz u. a. Members of the von Metzradt family and the city of Kamenz are mentioned. At the latest during the first quarter of the 16th century, the monastery had acquired the entire village. St. Marienstern remained the owner of Nebelschütz until the manorial estate was replaced in 1832. That is why the population of the place remained Catholic during the Reformation period.

Nebelschütz has been a member of the administrative association Am Klosterwasser since May 1, 2001 .
