History

[edit ]

Wülknitz was the first time in 1262, Lichtensee in 1032, Tiefenau in 1013 and Peritz mentioned in records in 1266.

In 1730 August the Strong held a grand military exercise near Zeithain. At this occasion an opera house was built in Streumen.

On 1 January 1994 joined the current districts Heidehäuser, Lichtensee, Peritz, Streumen, Tiefenau (since November 1, 1952 by incorporation of a district Lichtensee) and Wülknitz to present Wülknitz community together.
