To the south of Wörbzig lies Gröbzig , to the west of Dohndorf , to the north of Löbnitz an der Linde , to the southwest of Pfaffendorf. To the east are Klein- and Groß-Wülknitz . Dohndorf, Löbnitz, Klein- and Groß-Wülknitz are districts of the city of Köthen.
history
The Wrbizke settlement was first mentioned in 1149, which means something like little willow-thick (a place overgrown with many willow trees or willow bushes). In 1156 Albrecht the Bear held a "regional court" here, in which Eike von Repgow also took part as a lay judge .
For a long time Wörbzig was the center of a small county until it was incorporated into the Principality of Anhalt in 1252 by Heinrich II . The place became known, among other things, for its extensive manor in the southwest of the municipality, some of which is still well preserved today. From 1621 to 1787 it was owned by the von Wietersheim family . In 1787 Kasimir Gottlob von Wietersheim sold his, at that time still two, indebted manors to the royal house of Köthen.
The tenants of the manor were:
- 1787–1796: Kasimir Gottlob von Wietersheim
- 179? -180 ?: J. Schulenburg
- 180? -1819: Johann Heinrich Jacob Hoff
- 1819–1821: Dorothee Hoff (widow of the late Johann Heinrich Jacob Hoff.)
- 1821–1838: Leopold Diener
- 1838–1847: Carl Nette
In 1847 councilor Carl Nette bought the manor.
In 1869 the Prussian King Wilhelm I stayed in Wörbzig. He had breakfast every day, during a three-day maneuver near Pilsenhöhe, with the manor owner Carl Nette and his family.
On December 7, 1922, President Friedrich Ebert visited Wörbzig and the manor.
On April 15, 1945, American soldiers occupied the village until they later handed control over to the Soviet occupying forces.

In 1840 the local councilor and later manor owner Carl Nette set up a private cemetery east of the village, on the dirt road towards Pilsenhöhe. In 1859 he left most of his private cemetery to the Wörbzig Church. The first burial took place in this part of the cemetery, now ecclesiastical, on July 3rd, 1859. Around 1920 the cemetery was expanded to the west.

Economy and Infrastructure
Before and during the GDR era, the manor in the south of the community offered most of the community's residents a job (initially in the administration of the Soviet military administration in Germany (SMAD), later a state-owned estate , then an agricultural production cooperative ). At that time, Wörbzig was characterized by agricultural production and livestock farming. The company was closed after the fall of the Wall .
Today in Wörbzig mainly medium-sized businesses to supply the population have settled, as well as a gravel works near the manor (planned to run until around 2050) and a wind turbine to supply power to the surrounding communities.
The school in Wörbzig was closed in 2000 due to insufficient student numbers.
