History
From 1661 to 1678, Peitz was the place of imprisonment of Hieronymus Roth, leader of the opposition of the city of Königsberg against Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, and opponent of the secession of the city from the Kingdom of Poland.
From 1815 to 1947, Peitz was part of the Prussian Province of Brandenburg.
After World War II, Peitz was incorporated into the State of Brandenburg from 1947 to 1952 and the Bezirk Cottbus of East Germany from 1952 to 1990. Since 1990, Peitz has been part of Brandenburg.
