 Location of the Weitzschen district in Klipphausen
|
|
Weitzschen is a district of the municipality of Klipphausen in the district of Meißen , Saxony .
geography
Weitzschen is located in the Meißner highlands between Wilsdruff , Nossen and Meißen . The village is surrounded by the other districts belonging to Klipphausen: Miltitz in the west, Roitzschen in the northwest, Sönitz in the north, Piskowitz in the northeast, Seeligstadt in the southeast and Munzig in the south.
The extended Rundling is located on the plateau above the Triebisch , which runs one kilometer west of the village. The town center with its four-sided courtyards - one of which is protected as a cultural monument (see list of cultural monuments in Taubenheim ) - lies along Piskowitzer Strasse. There are several small settler properties along the “Zum Lindenhof” street . To the public transport Weitz's is linked not directly; The 414 bus of the Meißen transport company runs through the neighboring town of Piskowitz .
history
Weitzschen was mentioned for the first time in 1228 as part of the name "Hildebrandus de Witsen", which could have been a manor in the village at that time. However, the assignment is considered uncertain; Kleinweitzschen, municipality of Großweitzschen near Döbeln , is also an option . What is certain, however, is that the "Wicschen" mentioned in 1334 is today's Klipphausen district. The place name changed over the centuries via the forms "Witschen", "Wyczin", "Weisen", "Wiczschin", "Weiczschen" and "Weyschen" to the current spelling, which is attested in 1461 and 1551, among others. In 1875 the spelling “Weitschen” was just as common.
Around the village of Weitzschen, whose inhabitants earned their income from agriculture, stretched a 98 hectare block and striped field . Parish was and is the village after Taubenheim. The manorial rule in Weitzschen was exercised in 1551 by the owners of the Miltitz manor , and in 1696 and 1764 by the Munzig manor. For centuries, the administration of the place was the responsibility of the Meissen Hereditary Authority . In 1856 Weitzschen belonged to the Meißen court office and then joined the Meißen district administration , from which the district of the same name emerged. On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Weitzschen achieved independence as a rural community . It lost its independence when it was incorporated into Sönitz on April 1, 1938. As part of Sönitz, Weitzschen came to the Taubenheim community in 1974, which in turn has been part of Triebischtal since the end of 2003 . With the incorporation of Triebischtal on July 1, 2012, Weitzschen became a part of the municipality of Klipphausen.

Mining history
Weitzschen is located in an old mining area; In the immediate vicinity are among others the Garsebacher Schweiz as the world's largest pitch stone deposit , the Miltitz and Groitzsch lime works and the mouth of the Rothschönberger Stolln . In the southwest of the Weitzschener Flur between Aspengrund and Weitzschengrund - the history of mining usually incorrectly counts the old mining area as part of the Munzig location - mining has probably been in operation since 1492 to extract silver-bearing rock. The mines “Help-God-Stolln”, “Wilder Mann” and “Donat-Spat” were located in this area; The "Johanna-Erbstolln" and "Freundlicher Bergmann" pits near Munzig were also nearby.
According to ancient mountain filing the pit "Wilder Mann" 1710 to 1744 16,074 quintals of ore promoted with a fine silver content of 2.157 Mark , 14 ounce and 2 ounce -a-days. This corresponds to a good 500 kilograms of silver. The minerals extracted here and delivered to the iron and steel works in Freiberg include galena , copper gravel , arsenic gravel and ore-containing limestone . Mining was temporarily stopped in 1802 and then resumed in 1831. Between 1838 and 1856, the 429-meter-long “Help God Adit” was built beneath the “Wilder Mann” mine. In the absence of mineable deposits, mining finally ended in 1859. During the construction of the Miltitzer Schule in 1956 the old tunnel was rediscovered.
