Historical site
The municipality of Doberschütz between Eilenburg and Torgau is considered the gateway to the Düben Heath.

Already in older writings, Doberschütz was mentioned as the “gateway to the Düben Heath”.

The town of Doberschütz itself is located on the B 87 between the towns of Eilenburg and Torgau on the edge of the Düben Heath. It is embedded in a forest area that consists mainly of conifers, but we are increasingly finding oaks, beeches and birches in the forest landscape. The forests around Doberschütz are a popular destination for residents of the greater Leipzig area. From Doberschütz you can reach the nature conservation project "Presseler Heidewald und Moorgebiet." Beavers and cranes have already settled here again.

Doberschütz was first mentioned in documents in 1314. The history of Battaune can be traced back about 1000 years. The other communities belonging to Doberschütz were founded at the same time. Our landscape is also shaped by the Schwarzbach, whose source is the Kuhgrund in Sprotta.

The sights in our community include the Witrowberg in Paschwitz. The Witrow Church was built in the now-defunct village of Witrow around the 10th/11th century. It was located in the middle of the old churchyard on an artificial elevation and was named the high church of Witrow because of its location. The Friedemann tower windmill is a real gem. It has existed since 1883 and milling continued until 1998. It is the only wind-operated tower windmill in our region. A visit to the Battaune village church is also worthwhile. It has a late Gothic carved altar and a very valuable wall painting that was only recently discovered during renovation work.

In the district of Winkelmühle, which belongs to Wöllnau, is what is today Europe's smallest public forest cemetery.

A nature trail is laid out and signposted over a length of 4 km.

Curious? Then visit our beautiful community, where even more surprises await you.
