Piskowitz is a district of the Priestewitz community in the Meißen district in Saxony . The 76 hectare site is located on the south side of the 193 meter high Wantewitz hill about 2.5 kilometers south of the core town of Priestewitz between the localities of Wantewitz and Gävernitz . The federal road 101 leads through Piskowitz .

history

Piskowitz was originally laid out as a round hamlet with a block corridor . The Saxon homeland and cave researcher Otto Mörtzsch suspected in his 1935 work "Topographical Description of the Authority in Grossenhain" that this was probably an "episcopal foundation in the Wendenland" . The place was first mentioned in a document in 1205 as Bizcopitz . The place name is interpreted as a settlement of the people of a bishop . Other forms of the place name have emerged over the course of time according to the Digital Historical Directory of Saxony (HOV) of the Institute for Saxon History and Folklore e. V. (ISGV) : Biscopiz (1279), Biscopitz (1341), Piskepicz (1406), Bißkowicz (1467) and Piskewitz (1551).

The place paid prayers for Hayn in 1406 . The associated district size was given in that year with 4 hooves. Around 1662 there were four men resident and the associated area of ​​land comprised a size of 4 1 ⁄ 2  hooves. A year earlier it was said that three possessed men were resident in Piskowitz . According to the publication "Sachsens Kirchengalerie - Die Inspectionen Großenhain, Radeberg und Bischofswerda" published in 1841, Piskowitz is said to have consisted of three estates with 27 inhabitants at this time, as it did in 1566, two of which had been in the hands of one owner since 1837.

The place was and is parish since the Reformation after Wantewitz , where the children went to school.

In 1873 Piskowitz was incorporated into the neighboring Wantewitz, which finally became part of the municipality of Gävernitz on January 1, 1950 . Since 1973 the place belonged to Kmehlen-Gävernitz , which in turn was incorporated into Priestewitz a few years after the fall of the Wall in 1994.

Today, Piskowitz is characterized by some three-sided farms dating from the 19th century and by hop fields that are largely located near the main road.
