As a result, the place name was repeatedly subjected to changes so Weßnitz was in 1350 Weznicz or Wesnicz called, 1406 Wessenicz and 1465 Wissenytz or Weißnitz in 1539. Another name variant comes from the year 1551, for the Wesnitz has survived as a place name. In 1594 Weßnitz was named , and in 1791 Weßnitz was used as a place name. The place name is probably an old water body name that was transferred to the place. The location on the Weßnitzbach also speaks for this. The basic form is altsorbische Veznica, elm Bach vaz or vez translated elm, elm . The village originally belonged to the Mülbitz Vorwerk as a margravial fief. In 1350 an allodium was mentioned that was to the north of the corridor. After the Reformation , Weßnitz came to the Naundorf manor, Hayn office. In 1547 the upper court was with the Hayn office, the lower court with the city of Hayn. Blood ravages and open sheds are served in the ampt. The rolling judge was appointed by the Hayn Office and Council and came to the memorial once a year. After 1620 the lower court was at the Naundorf manor. In 1437 Jan is the judge, Hans Bischof and Czeschen are Schöppen. In 1663 Georg Sparmann was the judge, Hans Rothe, Michael Quinter and Christian Bretschneider were the scoops.

Margrave Friedrich enfeoffed Johannes and Peter von Ebersbach in 1350 with 6 marks in Weßnitz, 1 allodium and 2.5 hooves. In 1378 the village belonged to Castrum Hayn and paid interest to the margrave, in 1406 the village pays land prayers to Hayn. In 1454, Margaret Taupadel receives interest at the jointure , 1465 Albrecht had Taupadel of the Vorwerk Mülbitz and the village Weßnitz. Georg von Ponikau sold interest in 1474, in 1478 he bought interest in Weßnitz von Cunz von Breitenbach . In 1488 Georg Pusch bought the village for 618 Rhenish guilders from Georg von Ponikau in Krakow , before 1490 Hans Lange, later master Johann Hartmann, was escort to Hayn. After the Reformation, the village became part of the Naundorf manor and was Kommungut of Großenhain until 1620. From 1620 the elector owned Weßnitz, which still belonged to the Naundorf manor.

The church in Weßnitz closed early, in 1437 the community gave the offerings to Niederebersbach four times. The now existing church Weßnitz belonged in 1495 with half a mark bishop interest to the Praepositur Hain, in 1539 to Niederebersbach. In 1547 it is said that Weßnitz and the church are half gone, the other part in the city is also divided with the burial.
