Place name and first documentary mention

A first written mention was that as space village with Gewanneflur scale Weißig in 1398 under the name Wissok when the Hayner was invested class family trowel with 12.5 hooves in Weißig and with half the village. Other forms of the place name were in the course of time: Wissagc (1406), Wissag (1443), Weyßack (1458), Weissagk (1540), Weißigk (1590) and finally Weißig am Raschütz in 1875. The place name is used as a high-lying settlement interpreted.

Around 1406 the size of the village is given as 19 hooves. The von Köckritz family, who were also resident in the region , received another part of the village as a fief a few years later in 1408. Even then, the place belonged to Grossenhain care . Later there were a few changes of ownership. The owners here include the Berka von Dubá (1443). the von Buckewitz brothers (1452) and finally the advice to Hayn in 1466. In 1620 the place, which was badly affected by the plague epidemics in 1586 and 1587 , then came into the possession of the Saxon elector and thus under the management of the manor in Naundorf , which built a farm in Weißig. A few years later he fell half-desolate as a result of the Thirty Years' War (1637). In 1659, Weissig therefore had to bear a heavy burden of debt. Large fires raged in the village in 1604, when eleven farms burned down, and in 1830. Almost all buildings around the Weißiger Dorfplatz fell victim to this fire.

In terms of church, Weißig was originally incorporated into Skässchen until 1818 and then came to Oelsnitz .

Modern times

At the end of World War II there was fighting in Weißig and the village was occupied by the advancing Red Army on April 21, 1945 . However, a few days later, German troops penetrated the place again, resulting in heavy fighting, which was not ended until May 6, 1945. Ultimately, almost 80 percent of the place was destroyed and almost 80 soldiers from both sides were killed.

The land reform in the Soviet occupation zone that followed the war resulted in the expropriation of the land that has now belonged to the Blochwitz manor. As early as 1953, the first LPG was formed in Weißig with an agricultural area of ​​188 hectares. In 1960 the LPG Waldfrieden was founded with an area of ​​around 216 hectares. At the beginning of the 1970s, the Cooperative Plant Production Department (KAP) "Am Raschütz" was established, and its headquarters were in Weißig.

In 1994 Weißig, Blochwitz , Brößnitz and Oelsnitz-Niegeroda merged to form the rural community of Weißig am Raschütz .

On June 30, 2011, the local council decided to incorporate it into Lampertswalde. The necessary agreement was passed on October 5th. The incorporation was completed on January 1, 2012. Before that, Lampertswalde, Schönfeld and Weißig carried out their administrative tasks together in the Schönfeld administrative community .
