history

Reppis was originally laid out as a lane village with a block and corridor on a Röderinsel. The Saxon homeland and cave researcher Otto Mörtzsch wrote in his 1935 work "Topographical Description of the Authority in Grossenhain" that a round core could also be seen in Reppis . It is likely that it was originally a Slavic settlement that later developed into a German farming village. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1406 as Reps . At that time the size of the place was given as 10 hooves. 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) : Roppes (1464), Reps (1522), Reppiß (1540), Reppys (1551), Repsen (1555/56), Reppist (1724) and Reppiß, b. Saathayn (1791).

The manor Saathain exercised the manorial rule over Reppis . In addition to Saathain and Reppis, the Saathain rule also included the villages of Stolzenhain , Schweinfurth , Mühldorf , which was incorporated in Kröbeln in 1935, and today's city of Gröditz . Since 1348 the noble family von Köckritz was resident in Saathain . The Köckritze stayed in Saathain until 1475 and they were followed by the old Meissnian noble family von Schleinitz . From 1716 Woldemar Freiherr von Löwendal acquired the rule, who also had the neighboring Elsterwerda and Mückenberg in his possession. In 1727 he left Saathain and the associated villages to his wife Benedicta Margareta von Löwendal . From 1748 the rule was in Einsiedelschem possession.

From a church perspective, the village was parish off to Saathain and later in its Prosen branch . After the Wars of Liberation , however, the provisions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 also resulted in the division of Saxony. The newly created border ran, among other things, along the road that led from Ortrand to Mühlberg . This also divided the rule of Saathain. While the places Saathain, Stolzenhain and Prösen came to Prussia, Reppis with Gröditz and Schweinfurt remained in the Kingdom of Saxony and were initially placed under the jurisdiction of the Frauenhain manor . From around 1840 these places were administered by the Zabeltitz manor together with Frauenhain and all of his goods.

In terms of the church, the place initially remained with Prösen and only came to Frauenhain in 1904 and then to Gröditz in 1928. In the same year Reppis also lost its independence and the place was incorporated into neighboring Gröditz, which had grown strongly due to industrialization.
