history
Interpretation and development of the place name
Priestewitz is first mentioned in a document in 1350 as Pristanewicz . The name is probably from the Old Sorbian Pristańovica, pristań "pier", meaning "settlement at a landing stage" to be interpreted. It would also be possible to derive a personal name. Then the interpretation of the basic form Pri / Prestanovici would have to be understood as "settlement of Pri / Prestan". Other forms of the place name were 1350 Pristanewicz , 1378 Prystinwicz and Prystenewicz , 1406 Brostelwicz , 1418 Brestenewicz , 1420 Prüstewicz , 1535 Pruschtewitz , 1547/1551 Brostewicz and 1648 Pristewiz and Bristytz . From 1791 the name Priestewitz was used.
Local history
In 1378 Priestewitz belonged to the administrative district of Grossenhain Castle . In 1511 a manor is mentioned. In the northern part of the corridor is the desolation of the village of Kunnershain . Another desert is Breßnitz . Until the Reformation, Seusslitz Monastery owned parts of the village. After that, the Prokuraturamt Meißen , the Schulamt Meißen and the Amt Hayn shared shares in the village of Priestewitz. In 1547 seven hooves belong to the school and another seven hooves belong to the city council of Großenhain. Priestewitz had to deliver three bushels of wheat to the Meißen district office every year , to ship official grain to the Elbe at Christmas, to perform construction services and to provide a foot servant for the army expedition. A windmill is mentioned in 1821.
With the construction of the first long-distance railway line Leipzig – Dresden in 1839 Priestewitz got its own station . Its geographical proximity to Meißen and Grossenhain brought rapid economic development for the place, which gained a certain importance as an important traffic junction.
In the autumn of 1843 the Royal Saxon Army carried out major maneuvers in the area around Priestewitz, with the occupation and conquest of the station being of strategic importance.
