Priestewitz is a municipality in the district of Meißen, in Saxony, Germany.
==History== Priestewitz is first documented in 1350 as Pristanewicz. The name is probably from the altsorbischen Pristańovica, "dock", so to interpret PRISTAN "settlement with a jetty." It could also be the derivative of a personal name. Then the interpretation of the basic form of private / Prestanovici as a "settlement of the primary / Prestan" would understand. Other forms of the name were Pristanewicz 1350, 1378 and Prystinwicz Prystenewicz, 1406 Brostelwicz 1418 Brestenewicz, 1420 Prüstewicz, Pruschtewitz 1535, 1547/1551 and 1648 Brostewicz Pristewiz and Bristytz. From 1791, the name was used Priestewitz.
