history

Tower windmill in Paschwitz

The oldest documented mention of the place under the name Rebatschwicz comes from the year 1350. In the inheritance book of the Eilenburg office from 1548 the place is called Batschwitz . At that time, 19 possessed men lived in the village with their families, who were subordinate to the Sitzenroda monastery as a fief. Only one of the men reported directly to the pastor of Eilenburg. After the Reformation , the ruling house of the Wettins took over the Sitzenroda monastery property, making Paschwitz an official village in the Eilenburg district around 1551.

Like its neighboring towns of Bunau and Mölbitz, Paschwitz belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Eilenburg until 1815 . However, the basic rule of the places was up in 1748 at the manor Thallwitz that the Office Wurzen of Wurzen pen Office belonged among electoral Saxon supremacy.

As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , Paschwitz, Bunitz and Mölbitz came to Prussia in 1815 and were assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony in 1816, to which they belonged until 1952. On July 1, 1950, Bunitz was incorporated into Paschwitz. In the course of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, Paschwitz and Mölbitz were attached to the Eilenburg district in the Leipzig district , which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 . Mölbitz was incorporated on January 1, 1973.

On January 1, 1996, Paschwitz merged with the communities of Battaune, Doberschütz, Mörtitz, Sprotta and Wöllnau to form the municipality of Doberschütz.

Windmill

The Paschwitz windmill was built in 1883 on the Mühlenberg on the edge of the town as a massive tower windmill . After the mill was sold in 1933, the new owner had the mill rebuilt in 1938 and modernized again in the post-war period. The wings were destroyed in a storm in 1968 and the mill was then converted to electric drive. In 1991/92 a fundamental reconstruction took place, during which the technical monument also got its impeller back. Until the end of 1997 it was the last windmill in the region to be in commercial operation. Today the mill property is used culturally.
