Raußlitz Manor

The first documented form of the place name dates from 1264 as Ruzlitz. Raußlitz was already a manor in 1286. The estate was expanded over time and named as a Vorwerk (outlying farm) around 1600. The buildings were erected around 1720, and the first mention as a Rittergut (knight's estate) occurred in 1764.

Regarding the Rittergut, Schumann states:

„The Rittergut also includes Zettau or Zetta and Katzenberg or the Katzenhäuser, as well as the Vorwerk Ottenbach, assessed at 4 Hufen (hides) and stocked, [...], and the Vorwerk along with the inn at Katzenberg on the road from Meissen to Freiberg; also combined with it is the old-established Rittergut Gallschütz, located ½ hour to the east, which also has a Vorwerk and a mill; therefore, the economy of the estate is very significant [...].
