Pötzschker Mark
The Pötzschker Mark was a corridor area in the southwest of Leipzig between the villages of Schönau , Lausen and Kleinzschocher , all of which are now districts of Leipzig.
There are also the names Botzschke, Bodschke, Potzschkau and Pötzsche. It can be assumed that there used to be a desolate village here , as the church in the vicinity is also referred to on some maps as “the church in the Bodschke”. The name probably comes from the Potschke or Bodschengraben brook running along the southern edge of the Mark, which ran parallel to the old salt road as field water and drained towards Lindenau.
The Pötzschker Mark was mentioned in a document when the City Council of Leipzig sold 99½ acres of the "Flur Pötzschke" on June 3, 1612 to Mayor Theodor Möstel , who later became the owner of Schönau.
Today the area is essentially built over by the district of Grünau-Siedlung. The Poetzschkegraben is 980 meters long and "partly water-bearing" as a second order body of water in Leipzig. In the new development area of the Grünau-Mitte district, Potzschkaustraße has been reminiscent of the parcel southeast of it since 1981, and in the Neulindenau district there is the Pötzschker Weg.
