Thietmar of Merseburg
Görschen is an old German noble family originating from the 12th century. The family name derives from its original headquarters: the place "Goresin" (Görschen) or even from an older "oppida goresin" ("Görschenburg / Görschenfestung") near Lützen, which was already appointed by Bishop Thietmar of Merseburg in the year 998, whereas the name itself is Sorbian origin and translating as "damp".
