There are first traces of human settlement in Gävernitz from the Bronze Age . Gävernitz was originally a Slavic foundation. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1205 as Jarwirnitz . The place name is interpreted as a settlement on / in the Ahornbusch .

There have been a few changes of ownership over the centuries. In 1378 the place was still subject to Hayn Castle, in 1547 it belonged to the Meissen Princely School and shortly afterwards the council of Hayn. Ecclesiastically, the place, which was 13 hooves in size in 1406, was incorporated into Wantewitz in 1540 and the children of the village also attended the local school.

In 1930, the prehistorian Gotthard Neumann (1902–1972) created an archaeological open-air museum with a reconstruction of the two mounds after the excavation of two burial mounds from the Younger Bronze Age ( Lusatian culture ) in Gävernitz .

On January 1, 1973, Gävernitz and Kmehlen merged to form the municipality of Kmehlen-Gävernitz . Since January 1st, 1994 Gävernitz belongs to the municipality of Priestewitz .
