Tips

Wittichenau was first mentioned in 1248 as Witigenow in the deed of foundation of the St. Marienstern monastery by the Lords of Kamenz. In 1286 the place was then first referred to as a city, civitatem Witigenhaw. Witego I. von Kamenz, who is mentioned in the document and to whom the name Witigenow goes back, can be assumed to be the founder of the town. The origin of the Sorbian name comes from the name of the neighboring town of Keula (Kulowc). That means "small round village". In the context of the siege of the six-city Kamenz by the Hussites on October 7, 1429, the unprotected country town and its dominion, the Cistercian monastery of St. Marienstern, were haunted and plundered because they did not want to pay the ransom demanded.

Up until the 18th century, the town, along with many other Sorbian settlements, belonged to the “Netherlands” of the St. Marienstern Monastery.

After the decisions of the Congress of Vienna, Lower Lusatia and parts of Upper Lusatia came from Saxony to Prussia, and so Wittichenau and the nearby villages belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia Silesia Province between 1815 and 1945.
Very well-kept city with some historically valuable cultural monuments.
