Nobitz is a municipality in the district Altenburger Land, in Thuringia, Germany. The nearby Nobitz airfield was used by Ryanair for flights to and from London Stansted between 2003 and 2011.

History[edit]

Within the German Empire (1871–1918), Nobitz was part of the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg. In East Germany, it was part of Bezirk Leipzig. In July 2018 the former municipalities of Frohnsdorf, Jückelberg and Ziegelheim were merged into Nobitz.
