Local history

Roitzschen was first mentioned in 1071 as "Rocina in burgwardo Trebista "; however, the assignment is considered uncertain. What is certain, however, is that the "Reschen" mentioned in 1264 is today's Klipphausen district. The place name changed over the centuries via the forms "Reczen", "Recschen", "Retzin", "Retzschen" and "Retzen" to the current spelling, which is attested in 1768, among other things. The place name is derived from the Old Sorbian * rěka, German Bach , and means "place on the brook", which is in line with the location of Roitzschen.

Around Roitzschen, whose residents earned their income from agriculture, stretched a 147 hectare block and striped field . Roitzschen was an official village; For centuries the estate and administration was the responsibility of the Meissen inheritance . In 1856 Roitzschen belonged to the Meißen court office and then joined the Meißen district administration , from which the district of the same name emerged. On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Roitzschen gained independence as a rural community. The Roitzschwiese settlement on the orographically right Triebischufer , which had previously belonged to Robschütz, was connected to Roitzschen in 1925 through a reorganization . Through incorporation , Roitzschen and Roitzschwiese became part of the Miltitz community on November 1, 1935, which in turn merged with Burkhardswalde-Munzig and Garsebach on March 1, 1994 to form the new community of Triebischtal. With the incorporation of Triebischtal on July 1, 2012, Roitzschen became a part of the municipality of Klipphausen.

The Neidmühle is in the north of the corridor, near the confluence of the Gallenbach in the Triebisch. It has existed since 1516 and was in service as a water-powered flour mill until 1965. About two years later, the ZBO Aufbau Miltitz moved into the area, converted parts of the building for residential and administrative purposes and set up workshops. The mill yard has survived to the present day, and drive shafts of the two overshot water wheels can still be seen in the cellar. A small exhibition shows everyday objects and illustrates the history of the mill, which is now owned by a stonemason and monument preservation company.

In addition to the Neidmühle, several other buildings in the village are protected as cultural monuments (see list of cultural monuments in Roitzschen ).
