      The village of Portitz was probably created by West Slavic (Sorbian) settlers in the 7th century. While the ending "-itz" is typical of Slavic villages, the root word "p [a / o] rt-" could refer to the Parthe; but the first mention of the place as Borintizi is usually interpreted as "the village of a Borin (a)".
      After the beginning of German East expansion in 929, probably around the year 1000 German (Saxon) settlers settled here.


      Landlords of Portitz were the Margraves of Meissen or Landsberg and Elector of Saxony (1423-1485), the Albertine dukes of Saxony (1485-1547), the Elector of Saxony (1547-1806) and the kings of Saxony (1806-1890 ). Within the Saxon state, the village Portitz belonged to the district office Leipzig. The village Portitz belonged to the manorial estate of Rittergut Graßdorf.
