Weißig was first mentioned in a document in 1378 as Wizzok . It belonged as a margravial fief to the castle Hain (Grossenhain) and was to the margrave Friedrich III. subject to interest. In 1465 those von Gaudlitz and 1484 Chr. Von Köttwitz were enfeoffed with Weißig. Caspar Drogisch bought interest in Weißig in 1487 , as did Kunz Steyff from Grossenhain in 1465. The tenth part came to the Meissner Hospital.

Hans Knieling and Hans Kalau zu Herzberg bought the property of the von Gaudlitz family in 1496. Kretzschmer, who was previously in Porschendorf , was based in Weißig in 1499. In 1501 a von Haugwitz owned the place, consisting of two men and their families. In 1520, Weißig and five men were owned by the Schleinitz family on Skassa. The Hain monastery raised interest in Weißig in 1535. In 1540 the residents of Weißig were parish off to Skassa.

With the hospital in Meißen, the manor Skassa, the manor Hirschstein and the council of Grossenhain, four lords had claims and rights to Weißig in 1547. The Weißiger give Irish a share of a horse for the army expedition. In addition, the parish priest to Großenhain, chest gentlemen Großenhain, the pastor Skassa and was provost to Boritz for discounting. In 1575 23 man possessed lived in Weißig, three men had two hooves , nine men 1 ¹ ⁄ ₂  hooves, two men one hoof, eight men half a hoof and one a quarter hoof. In 1621 the chapter on Meißen, the manor Naundorf, the manor Hirschstein and the council of Großenhain were the landlords for Weißig, in 1678 the Prokuraturamt Meißen, the manor Naundorf, the manor Grödel / Skassa and the manor Hirschstein exercised the manorial rule over the place out. The sovereign, Elector Johann Georg II. Or the office of Grossenhain had the upper jurisdiction , the lower jurisdiction the hereditary lords. The Grossenhain Office appoints the village judge . A forge was built around 1700, followed by a tavern with a brandy distillery in 1750 . In 1824 there was a community shepherd's house and a syringe house . 150 to 200 inhabitants lived in the village, including 24 farmers and four gardeners who were subordinate to the various lords. Three cottagers owned their own land, one was on common land and one owned a forge.

Since 1839, the Leipzig – Dresden railway line, the first German long-distance railway line, has passed Weißig. The place received a train station on this rail route. Since the construction of the “Chemische Fabrik von Heyden Weißig b. Grossenhain “in 1900 the tracks for the works traffic. The construction of a school building followed, and in 1877 another new building was built. There was a hiking school for the region since the middle of the 18th century. Decades later, a kindergarten moved into the school . In 1853 a farmer made a so-called depot find while plowing on the Bruschberg near Weißig . The bronze objects from the find date to around 1200 BC. With a few exceptions, they were deliberately broken as the result of acts of sacrifice. The deliberately selected objects reflect important events in everyday life at the time, such as the sickles for a successful harvest. The Weißig depot find is exhibited in the State Museum of Archeology in Chemnitz . Weißig had 203 inhabitants in 1898. A closer look at their activities is comparatively diverse: a bread baker and mill owner, an inn owner and a postal agent who also ran a “restaurant” at the train station lived in the village . There was also a basket maker, art gardener, tailor, teacher, village shopkeeper, blacksmith and fitting, master cooper, master shoemaker, master cartwright , carpenter , drainage worker, a butter dealer and an asparagus culture owner. The presence of a train station also means that the station master is one of the residents.

In 1925, almost all of Weißig's 253 residents were Evangelical Lutheran , only three people were Catholic . By the year 1934 the population of Weißig rose to 275. As for decades, the agricultural association was run by a manor owner (Naundörfchen, Merschwitz). A purchasing and sales cooperative had existed for years. The Heyden chemical factory and the Brettschneider construction business were the largest companies in Weißig.

Saxons came after the Second World War in the Soviet zone of occupation and later the GDR . The historically grown affiliation to Grossenhain was not preserved after the territorial reform in 1952 . She assigned Weißig to the Riesa district in the Dresden district . From 1953, the individual farmers in the GDR merged to form agricultural production cooperatives (LPG) in Weißig. This process reached its preliminary climax in 1970 with the merger of seven LPG from six villages to form the large LPG "Frieden" Weißig.

After the reunification , new businesses settled in the large courtyards in the village. The land around the village was also continued to be used by large farmers. In 1994, Weißig assigned the following regional reforms in Saxony to the Riesa-Großenhain district and in 2008 to the Meißen district .

On December 31, 1993 the place still had 230 inhabitants. Compared to 1964, almost 100 fewer people lived in Weißig. With effect from January 1, 1994, it was incorporated into Nünchritz. The kindergarten in Weißig was closed in the same year. From then on the children went to the facilities in Nünchritz. With the renovation of the fire station and the establishment of a meeting room, public spaces in Weißig were preserved. The small youth club opposite the old forge is still in use today. The Weißig inn was sold to the gymnastics club in 1998 by the municipality of Nünchritz. Refurbished by the association, it has since served cultural life in Weißig again. With the opening of the stop in Nünchritz in 2003, the Weißig train station was closed. The signal box in the station building is still in operation.
