Historic village green Zitzschewig

Zitzschewig is also one of the ten original villages of Radebeul and was first mentioned in a document in 1366.

In 1445, an obligation to deliver guard grain, a kind of grain tax, to the burgraves is documented. From this it can be concluded that Zitzschewig originally belonged to the burgrave of Dohna.

Even at the time of its first mention, the village was divided into two parts. One part belonged to the bishopric of Meissen, the other to the Kundige family, who later sold their share to the Dresden council. With a total of 31 estates, Zitzschewig had already outgrown its historical centre by the middle of the 15th century. Its location on the old Mühlberg-Dresden trade route favoured its development.

Its proximity to the Elbe regularly brought floods to the municipality, which is why the first dams were built as early as 1555.

Viticulture also played an important role here early on. In 1448, 40 vineyards are mentioned.

While the parish of Zitzschewig has always belonged to Kötzschenbroda, a separate teacher is documented after the Thirty Years' War.

Initially, the village hardly benefits from the construction of the railway. It was not until 1902 that a local railway stop was established.

In 1908, negotiations begin for a merger with Naundorf, which fail for a long time due to resistance from the local council. It was not until 1923 that Naundorf and Kötzschenbroda were successfully united to form the larger municipality of Kötzschenbroda.
