Zeisch was first mentioned in 1363. Other forms of name were Seysch , Seisch , Zeysch , Zehs , Sesch , Seyschz (1400), Secz (1425), Czetzschenn (1514), Seescz (1520), Seizsch (1540), Sizsch (1555), Tzietzsch (1579), Schitzsch , Tschitzsch (1584), Zietzsch (1685) and Tschiezschen (1719). Zietsch has been used since 1875.
Zietsch lay in the northwest of the kingdom of Bohemia belonging Oberlausitz , immediately southeast bordering the Meissen exclave "Schmorkau Meissner side" to the village. Zietsch was subject to the rule of Königsbrück from 1527 , and from 1562 to the royal rule of Königsbrück .
Until the Reformation, Zietsch was parish in Schmorkau and from 1540 to Krakow . As a result of the Peace of Prague , Zietsch was ceded to the Electorate of Saxony in 1635, together with all other places in the two Lusatia . Administratively, Zietsch belonged to the Bautzen district since 1777 and to the Bautzen district court from 1843.
With the reorganization of the Saxon administrative structures, Zietsch was assigned to the Königsbrück court office in 1856 and to the Kamenz district administration in 1875 . On the Ziegenberg and Zietscher ridge, graywacke was extracted in smaller quarries . At the beginning of the 20th century, the sparsely populated heath areas offered themselves as the location of a new military training area for the Saxon army because of their proximity to the garrison town of Königsbrück . The military training area Königsbrück was 1906 for the XII. (I. Royal Saxon) Army Corps formally established. At the end of 1907, the municipalities of Zietsch, Quosdorf and Otterschütz , located in the heath, were dissolved. The property was bought by the German Reich and the 116 residents of Zietsch were resettled. The 412 hectare parish corridor became part of the military training area.
The evacuated village of Zietsch initially remained undestroyed. On August 27 and 28, 1932, the 25-year reunion of the former residents of Zietsch, Otterschütz and Quosdorf took place at the military training area, which ended with a historical parade in Krakow on August 28.
After the end of the Second World War, the military training area was seized by the Soviet occupying forces . The village was later shot to death. In 1992 the last Soviet troops withdrew, the area became a nature reserve Koenigsbrücker Heide , but is only accessible to a very limited extent due to the high load of ammunition. The village of Zietsch, surrounded by the Heidewald, is located in the total reserve of the nature reserve in the zone of controlled succession; Today it is a swamp area, the Zietscher water and the rivulets flowing towards it are dammed up in a cascade of smaller ponds.
