history
Muschwitz and its six districts today belonged to the Electorate of Saxony and the Kingdom of Saxony until 1815 . Muschwitz, Pobles, Söhesten and Tornau were subordinate to the Hochstift-Merseburg office of Lützen , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . Göthewitz, Kreischau and Wuschlaub were located on the north-eastern edge of the administrative district of Weißenfels (Kreischau: Burgwerben court seat, Göthewitz and Wuschlaub: Mölsen court seat), which belonged to the Secondogenitur Principality of Saxony-Weißenfels between 1656/57 and 1746 .
As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the seven places with the western part of the Lützen office and the Weißenfels office came to Prussia in 1815. In 1816 they were assigned to the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony . While Muschwitz, Pobles, Söhesten and Tornau were assigned to the Merseburg district, Göthewitz, Kreischau and Wuschlaub came to the Weißenfels district .
During the first district reform in the GDR, Muschwitz, Pobles, Söhesten and Tornau were reclassified to the Weißenfels district on July 1, 1950. Göthewitz and Kreischau were also incorporated into the Muschwitz community. With the second district reform on July 25, 1952, Muschwitz came to the Hohenmölsen district in the Halle district , which in 1994 in the Weißenfels district and this in turn in 2007 in the Burgenland district.
On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Muschwitz, Großgörschen , Poserna , Rippach and Starsiedel merged with the city of Lützen to form the new city of Lützen.
