history

The Friedewald, in which the Auer lies, was the electoral hunting ground. The Friedewald Wolf Column, built not far from the Auer in 1618, also reminds of this .

At the beginning of the 18th century there was a zoo at the nearby forester's house in Kreyern , in which bison were transferred from Lithuania and first recorded in Kreyern in 1702 . After the ancestors of domestic cattle, which had died out a century earlier, these were also incorrectly referred to as aurochs , or “Auer” for short. In 1726 a new "Auergarten" with a keeper's house was built for the animals. It was located in the old Falcon Garden, about 500 meters northwest of today's district. In 1764 the bison were brought to the Liebenwerdaer Heide due to the circumstances of the war .

The Auergarten had been licensed to serve since 1728 . In 1771 the bar building was extended and made into an inn. The building was mentioned in 1791 as "Auerhaus, bey Eisenberg ... is located in the forest on Hayn [ischen] Strasse, not far from the Kreyern forester's house". The name "Auerhaus" can also be found in 1814 and 1827, the latter with the addition "also called the Auer". The Auerhaus contained a post office early on , as it was on the Dresden – Großenhain Poststrasse. The economic importance of the building declined with the establishment of a new post office in Eisenberg in 1834. The original Auerhaus burned down in 1869 as a result of arson .

In the same year it was replaced by a new building called "Auer", which is located further south-east directly at the intersection and also housed a pub. In 1904 the "Auer, Gasthaus und Schneidemühle , zu Eisenberg / Moritzburg" is called, in 1875 and 1908 the "Auerhaus (Auer)". The name "Auer" can be found alone in 1911. In the 1920s and 30s it was transferred from the restaurant to the single-family houses that were then being built in the vicinity, the place name means "settlement at the Auer (ox) garden".

While the population of the Auers was still 10 in both 1843 and 1875, it multiplied in the 20th century when the town first expanded along the Siedlerweg, later also to the west on today's Querweg. Today there are around 100 houses and houses on the Auer. The group of houses has belonged to the Moritzburg estate district or the Eisenberg community , from which today's Moritzburg community emerged. The Auer was parish first to Steinbach , then from 1875 to Moritzburg.

In the early morning of August 18, 2000, the Auer was struck by a tornado which , with wind speeds of up to 200 km / h, cut a 150 to 300 meter wide and approximately one kilometer long aisle into the forest in an uninhabited area immediately to the east. The tornado uprooted or kinked numerous trees and also destroyed electricity and telephone lines. After three days of clean-up work, the road between Moritzburg and the Auer was passable again. The damage caused amounted to an estimated 2 million DM. On April 15, 2007, a serious forest fire broke out on the Auer .
