history

Village and church around 1840

The oldest written mention of Tellschütz comes from the year 1297, when an Apeczus de Teltschicz was first mentioned. The place arose as a Slavic round hamlet , which was later expanded by German settlers. There is evidence of a manor house in the 13th and 14th centuries, but no structural remains have been preserved. According to archaeological findings, the location was the older southern district of "Am Ring". The village green with a pond was also here. The upper village consists of a street village-like extension with a cul-de-sac, the village church and the cemetery.

In the 16th century at the latest, the manor changed to the manors Löbnitz and Kitzen , both of which owned shares in the village in 1548. From 1606 Tellschütz was under the manor of Mausitz, which is based on ancient scriptures . The administrative affiliation was incumbent on the " castrum Groitzsch " in 1378 , from 1548 to the middle of the 19th century the Pegau office and from 1856 on the newly formed court office in Zwenkau . In the course of an administrative reform in Saxony, Tellschütz came to the Leipzig district administration in 1875 . On January 1, 1952, the place was incorporated into Großdalzig and assigned to the district of Leipzig . Since October 1st 1993 Großdalzig and its districts, including Tellschütz, belong to the city of Zwenkau.

Townscape

Typical for Tellschütz are large three- and four-sided courtyards, which in the past were mainly managed by middle-class farmers. There are also more recent residential buildings.

The most striking building is the village church, the main features of which date from the Romanesque period. The building, which was rebuilt several times, received its typical appearance in the 16th century, the interior furnishings came from the Baroque period. On January 10, 2015, the Tellschütz church was almost completely destroyed in a major fire, whereupon the church council decided to rebuild it on January 26.
