from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wadewitz is a place belonging to the village of Könderitz in the municipality of Elsteraue in the Burgenland district of Saxony-Anhalt , which goes back to a manor settlement .

history

The second syllable of the name of the village -witz contains a Germanized, originally Slavic suffix . It originally had a patronymic function and usually refers to the founder of the place or at least an important person who gave the place its name. In the neighboring Free State of Saxony there are two other place names in the same form.

Wadewitz was a village belonging to the Zeitz office with an official manor. It originally belonged to the Naumburg diocese , from which the Naumburg-Zeitz bishopric emerged . In 1657 Wadewitz came to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Zeitz , to which it belonged until its dissolution in 1718. Then it fell back to the Electorate of Saxony , which was converted into a kingdom in 1806. Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , Wadewitz came to the newly formed Duchy of Saxony in the Kingdom of Prussia and was integrated into the administrative district of Merseburg . The Zeitz district was responsible for the local administration , while the Wadewitz Patrimonial Court was responsible for all acts of voluntary jurisdiction until 1849 .

In addition to the municipality of Wadewitz, the Wadewitz estate district existed until the 1920s, which was then united with the municipality.

Before 1950, Wadewitz was incorporated into Traupitz and Traupitz in turn became a district of the municipality of Könderitz on July 1, 1950 .

Wadewitz was parish in Langendorf.

Manor

The Tannewitz Vorwerk was part of the manor for a while. The estate was owned by the von Döben family until 1687, after which it was bought by Rudolph von Bünau. In the 18th century, several aristocratic families in possession of the manor Wadewitz broke away: von Thüna (1719–1733), von Kopping (1733–1735), von Unwerth (1735–1751) and von Kayn (1751–1773). With a representative of the Trommer family, the manor came into bourgeois hands for the first time in 1773, in which it remained until it was expropriated by the land reform in 1945. In 1837 the Schneider family took over the estate, which it owned until the 20th century.
