The origin of Geithain and its place name goes back to a Sorbian settlement with a circular rampart from the 16th/17th century. century back. The later settlers, mostly Franconians, took possession of the narrow hill between Sachewasser and Eula. The elevated position of the entire complex and the walling make a castle or castle-like complex likely at this point on the Kirchberg. The old town emerged from the terraced village on the old trade route, a walled, uniform, typical market complex.

At the beginning only the Nikolaikirche was surrounded by a wall. From 1186 onwards, the city wall developed from this through extensions, when the place was first mentioned in documents and developed into a complete city by 1209. However, the founder of the city is not known. Very good
