Together with Merkendorf, Piesigitz is a district of Zeulenroda-Triebes in the Thuringian Vogtland.

geography

Piesigitz is located between the places Wöhlsdorf and Merkendorf in the Thuringian Vogtland , in the district of Greiz , on a heights on the slope of the Triebetal. Merkendorf is on the other side of the valley. Below the village, the Triebebach, also known as Trübe, flows into the Weidatalsperre from Wenigenauma .

Before the Weidatalsperre was built, the wood mill was not far from the village in the Weidatal.

From Piesigitz in the direction of Wenigenauma lies Kühnsdorf, which was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and today only consists of a farm and a house. In the church registers, the Kühnsdorf residents were always written about Piesigitz.

The Piesigitzer properties belong to the Piesigitzer, Merkendorfer, Wöhlsdorfer and Staitzer Flur.

On the way to Wöhlsdorf, the path branches off onto a hill called the 'Bieszer Biel' or 'Bühl'.

Surname

The name of the old Sorbian Rundling or Angerdorf Piesigitz is not derived from the location of the place, as is the case with many of the surrounding villages, but presumably from a person. Piesigitz is interpreted as a settlement des Pies or a village des Wys or Bezgod.

The following names for Piesigitz have been handed down: Beygesitz, Besegiz, Bysegatz, Wecegacz, Wesegicz, Wisegatz, Wisigitz, Wysegacz, possession.

history

Piesigitz was probably founded as a Sorbian settlement in the 12th century. After the settlement of Franconian and Hessian farmers in the Vogtland, who had to pay interest and loan to the Mildenfurth monastery , the place was more and more Christianized. Certainly the pagan Sorbs and the Christian settlers lived peacefully side by side for a while. In order to colonize the country, the nobility had to rely on the settlers as well as the local people. A mixture can still be seen today in many family names of Sorbian or Germanic origin. At that time Piesigitz belonged to the parish Döhlen , which was founded from the original parish Veitsberg .

Piesigitz is mentioned for the first time in 1230. The papal charter of 1230 says: “ 5 farmers from Beygesitz are feudal people of the Mildenfurth monastery; they give 28 bushels, 2 quarters to Martini (November 11th) due hop interest and 33 groschen monetary interest. “Another mention of the place is from 1373 as Bysegacz (with Kühnsdorf).

1416 is in the documents that " Besegitz 44 groschen and 15 chickens have to pay interest to Mr. von Pölnitz on the manor Niederpöllnitz "

In an old document from 1437, which was still in the Döhlen parish archives in the 1930s, on March 10, 1434 Gerhard, titular bishop of Solon , vicar general of the bishop of Naumburg , after he had deconsecrated the church of the village of Wesegicz , confessed which of the saints Barbara was consecrated, inaugurated anew with 3 altars, all those who visit the church on certain feast days, pray in it and provide for their entertainment for them, an indulgence of 40 days. The St. Barbara was so 500 years ago, the patron saint of the town.

In the years 1444 and 1453 Bisegacz is mentioned when buying meadows for the parish.

In 1452 a dispute broke out between Merkendorf and Piesigitz over the construction of the church tower. At this point in time, 15 residents were living in Piesigitz. The Bishop of Naumburg decided the dispute in a letter of arbitration, in which the Piesigitzers were granted new rights to the Merkendorf Church, to which they went together with the Merkendorf residents.

In 1496, 17 residents (farms) of Bisigitz paidfl 36  gr and for 2 maids and 2 servants 3 gr "Turkish tax" . The Reformation was introduced in the country between 1525 and 1528 .

From the year 1527 the place is called almost uniformly in the spelling as Piesigitz or Pisigitz . This year a Merkendorfer pastor's office is set up and Piesigitz is assigned to it. The later chaplaincy existed until 1551. After that, Piesigitz came to the Parish Döhlen, but had to maintain the Merkendorf church as well as the Döhlen church.

After the Peasants' War the village pays a fine of 63 florins. An average fine among the villages in the area. During the peasant wars, the farmer Kresse from Dörtendorf deserves special mention, who severely affected the Lords of Reuss as the leader of the farmer hordes. Even 100 years later in the Thirty Years War it was again a cress, Georg Kresse , whose wife, Anna Pissel came from Piesigitz, who messed with the authorities and the Soldateska.

1542 gave in Piesigitz 21 homeowners, ie around 120-130 inhabitants, with an estimated property of 3020 ate, 14 fl 8 gr and for the servants 4 gr interest. Only 15 years later, in 1557, the estimated possession is already 5105 ate.

In 1609 Piesigitz had to provide 19 teams to the state contingent. These were 3 long pipes, 4 spring skewers, 4 long skewers, 8 gag skewers.

In 1618, 5 of 21 men received their fiefdom from Mildenfurth and 16 from the Weida office , which took over the parts of the former Weida nunnery . In 1628 the approaching unrest of the Thirty Years' War also made itself felt in Piesigitz. With the war came the plague in 1632/33 and 1635–1637 . In 1636 the Swedes came to the area and " lived worse than the Croatians ".

On November 26, 1638, the farmer general Georg Kresse from Dörtendorf married Anna Pissel from Piesigitz. He was shot by Hatzfeld's horsemen in 1648 in the Auma inn .

In the Merkendorfer church book in 1643 it says “ that one wants to know that in the dangerous war years there was neither free nor let free ”. At the end of the war in 1648 a great peace festival is celebrated. In 1668 half of the village, a total of 12 houses, burned down. Only 3 years later, on May 10, 1671, it was the 6 'Mildenfurther houses' that fell victim to a devastating fire. This year only about 70 people lived in the village.

Piesigitz Church, built 1684/85

The construction of the current church began in 1684/85. Presumably an old wooden chapel was converted into a stone church. The stone enclosure of the church is likely to have been built at the same time. The church tower was only erected 12 years later.

In 1706/07 Swedish soldiers were quartered in the village again.

In 1721 Piesigitz is described as follows:

" 1230 Beygesitz, 1373 Bysegacz (aso. Bezgodj: residence / founding of a man named Bezgod) Piesiegiz is official. Upper and lower courts belong to the office except for etl. Fiefs and interest, with which 6 men belong to Mildenfurth. A branch church, which the H. Pfarr zu Döhlen also provides, but no sermons other than funeral and wedding sermons are given here.

In 1745 the peasants had to endure many marches, requisitions and payments due to the Silesian War .

In 1761/63, imperial troops and a hunter corps are quartered in Piesigitz. On March 21, 1763, a great peace festival was celebrated at the end of the Seven Years' War . The Neustädter Kreis became Saxon again.

Because of the new construction of the Merkendorfer Church, the Merkendorfers went to the church in Piesigitz from 1768 to 1772.

The peace festival at the end of the War of the Bavarian Succession was celebrated on June 6, 1779, also because deliveries and recruits no longer existed. In October 1806 the French were in Piesigitz. Napoleon moved with his troops, some 180,000 men, only about 5 km past the place. Staitz went up in flames. In Piesigitz was looted and billeted. “ Not a day went by without a requisition. "

At the beginning of March 1814, according to an entry in an old Bible, Russian hussars were quartered on the Geroldhof in Piesigitz . “ Bremen soldiers are quartered on March 12-15. Russians again on March 16, Albanians on May 25 and Russians again in June ”. In 1818 there was another passage of Russian troops. In 1815 the Neustädter Kreis , in which Piesigitz is located, was transferred from the Kingdom of Saxony to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach as war compensation . The place Dörtendorf , only about 10 kilometers away, already belonged to the Reussian region. In 1832, many residents of the parish, especially children, fell victim to a major leaf epidemic .

In the revolutionary year of 1848, the rights of the rural population were reorganized. The " noblemen were taken the jurisdictions and they were nothing more than great Ekonomen ". The farmers and localities could buy their way out of their interest burdens with one-off payments. The subjects "also presumed the hunt and in spring and summer shot the many wild deer, hares and stags, young and old death ".

In 1855, a heavy hailstorm not only destroyed the fields and meadows, but " even knocked the slate off the roofs ".

In 1858 Piesigitz had 26 farms. Including the Zaumsegel, Wieduwilt and Serbser families. On October 14th 1859 a fire broke out in the village and destroyed the 3 barns Heuschkel, Hempel, Serbser and all winter supplies.

On July 1, 1950, Piesigitz was incorporated into the Merkendorf community. With their dissolution, the place came to the city of Zeulenroda-Triebes on December 1, 2011 .
