The village of Stetzsch and its neighboring towns on a map from the 19th century

The first documented settlement of the Stetzsch area is attributed to the Billendorfer culture , a section of the early Iron Age between 800 and 400 BC. It was proven around 1900 when a large urn grove with pre-Slavic grave goods was discovered on the street Am Urnenfeld, which is now named after it . The Slavs who later settled in the Elbe Valley founded the Platz gassendorf Stetzsch, first mentioned as Steiz in 1266 , which has largely been preserved in its 19th century state and bears the street name Altstetzsch .

Until 1559 the farming village was subordinate to the bishops of Meißen and legally it was part of Briesnitz. After the Reformation it was administered successively by the Saxon authorities Stolpen , Dresden , Meißen and from 1843 again Dresden (from 1875 Amtshauptmannschaft Dresden ). On April 1, 1921, Stetzsch was incorporated into Dresden together with Briesnitz, Kemnitz and Leutewitz .

In Stetzsch agriculture dominated until the 19th century. Between 1568 and 1828 the local farmers had to do labor for the Ostravorwerk . From 1667 the Stetzscher Flur belonged to the hunting area of ​​the respective Saxon electoral prince for about a century , which stretched between Cossebaude and the Zschonergrund . The railway connection that took place in 1875 led to a sharp increase in population. Although Stetzsch is surrounded by high flood protection dams, the place was flooded several times by the Elbe, most recently during the flood of the century in August 2002 .
