history

Pohlitz was first mentioned in 1394 and is probably of Slavic origin. It used to be called " Pohlentz ". The place is densely built up and is grouped around two large green areas that used to be five ponds. These were used as a fire fighting pond and for carp breeding. The connecting road to Greiz was continuously built at the end of the 19th century. In 1921 Pohlitz was then incorporated into Greiz. At that time the place had several thousand inhabitants.

From around 1950 to 1985, numerous new building projects were carried out on Pohlitzer Flur in order to cope with the housing shortage in the GDR . So initially a few blocks of flats on the connecting road to Greiz were realized. From 1958, a new building area was built on Dr.-Otto-Nuschke-Straße, which connected directly to the east and south-east of the village. This project was completed in 1969. From 1976 onwards, the fields between Pohlitz and the Reissberg were cultivated with blocks of flats. A total of around 2000 apartments were built here as part of the GDR's housing program . From 1980, the "Zaschberg" residential area was also built in the northwest of Pohlitz.

According to the Greiz urban development concept, the new building areas Reißberg-Pohlitz and Zaschberg should be completely demolished from 2003 to 2020. However, the majority of the apartment blocks still exist and are inhabited today. The area around Dr.-Otto-Nuschke-Straße is to be preserved in the long term. Most of the apartment blocks there have been renovated.
