Bockelwitz is a former municipality in the district of Mittelsachsen, in Saxony, Germany. With effect from 1 January 2012, it has been incorporated into the town of Leisnig.
== History == The village of Bockelwitz is of Sorbian origin, as evidenced by the fact that as late as 1403 it was still required to deliver “Wachkorn” (a grain tithe) to the manor at Tragnitz—a levy likely imposed on all villages that had originated before the establishment of the Leisnig castle district. The village of Criscowe (Kreischau) has since been absorbed into Bockelwitz.
