In the west it is bordered by unincorporated Altfranken and Gompitz, north of Omsewitz, Leutewitz and Cotta. In the east it borders districts of Wölfnitz, Naußlitz and Löbtau, and south of the district Roßthal.HistoryThe site of Altgorbitz is characterized by narrow streets with old buildings and is one of the historic village centers in Dresden.
