Map of Zabeltitz-Uebigau. Oberreit, Der Pickwitz

Pickwitz was mentioned as early as 1292 in connection with the Dresden citizen Johannes de Pykuwitz . The basic form of the place name Bicwicz is probably derived from the Slavic Bykovc / Bykovica , i.e. byk = bull, ox, and means something like place with many oxen . However, it would also be possible to derive it from a personal name.

In 1378 Pickwitz belonged to the Grossenhain castrum . In 1401 the place was still called Vila , in 1511 as a village and in 1555 as desolate . Already around 1500 the place belonged to the estate in Zabeltitz. In 1621 it is mentioned as a Vorwerk. There was a church in Pickwitz that burned down before 1600. It was a branch church of Walda.
