Around 1100 (documented: a long time before 1143), wolf hunters are proven as the first settlers in the Auerswalde area, but they only stayed there seasonally. The existence of a church property is proven for the year 1186. In 1230 the church of St. Ursula was built. The first written mention of the place and the gentlemen of Auerswalde took place under the name "Urswalde" in 1263, hence the patronage of the St. Ursula Church could come from. (Note: The seal mark does not show an aurochs to which the place name should refer, but a bison .) In 1334 one of the oldest bars in Saxony, the “Erbgericht”, was built in Auerswalde . On the site of today's Auerswalde manor house there are probably the remains of the castle, which was mentioned as a manor house around 1248. This manor was mentioned in 1445 as a knight's seat and since 1551 as a manor . In 1582 a school in Auerswalde was mentioned. In 1551 Auerswalde counted 50 possessed men , 9 gardeners , 6 cottagers and 97 residents who farmed 32 Hufen land. About 200 years later, in 1764, there were 43 owned man, nine gardeners, cottagers 53 to 27 1 / 4 hooves country. Lime was mined in various places in Auerwalde from the 15th century to the 20th century.

Auerswalde was divided in terms of administration until the 19th century. The upper part of the village was under the lordship of the Lichtenwalde manor in the Electoral Saxon Office Lichtenwalde , which was administered from 1696 by the Electoral Saxon Office Frankenberg-Sachsenburg and from 1783 by the Electoral Saxon Office Augustusburg . Like Nieder-Garnsdorf, the lower part of Auerswalde belonged to the manor of the Auerswalde manor, which belonged as an exclave to the Saxon office of Rochlitz . After the Lords of Auerswalde had sold the Auerswalde manor house to the Lords of Schönberg in 1596 , it was passed on to the Count of Watzdorf in 1724 , who arranged for the manor to be rebuilt. In 1764 it was inherited by the Count of Vitzthum von Eckstädt , whose family owned it until 1945.
19th century to the present
From 1832 Auerswalde was part of the Lichtenwalde manor and belonged entirely to the royal Saxon office of Augustusburg . After the end of the Saxon constitution of offices in 1856, Auerswalde was under the jurisdiction of the Frankenberg court office . From 1875 Auerswalde belonged to the Flöha office and from 1933 to the Chemnitz office .
The new school in Auerswalde (today's elementary school) was inaugurated in 1877. Chemnitztalstrasse was opened three years later in 1880. Auerswalde has had a volunteer fire brigade since 1888. On September 1, 1902, Auerswalde received the "Auerswalde-Köthensdorf" station in the Chemnitz Valley, a station on the Wechselburg – Küchwald railway line (Chemnitz Valley Railway ). It was not taken out of service until the line was closed on May 24, 1998. In 1907, the St. Ursula Church in Auerswalde was given its present-day appearance through renovation. In Oberauerswalde, the first houses in the upper settlement were built in 1913 with the "Old Colony". From 1932 onwards, Auerswalde experienced a significant increase in population due to the start of settlement construction on the Vorwerk: while 2402 people lived in the village in 1925, there were already 3349 in 1939. Another six years later, in 1945, 3816 people lived here. The upper school (until 2011 Auerswalde Middle School House A) was inaugurated in 1929.
In 1945, a few days before the end of World War II , Auerswalde was occupied by American troops from April 15 to 26. On 7 and 8 May 1945, the Americans, however, gave the city to the Red Army of the Soviet Union on. Emergency apartments were set up in the Auerswalde estate in 1945. The manor buildings were later partially demolished. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Auerswalde came to the Chemnitz-Land district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt-Land district and the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). From then until December 1952, the border with the Flöha district ran east of Auerswalde , to which the neighboring town of Oberlichtenau had initially been added during the 1952 district reform. In 1954 Auerswalde, like its neighboring towns of Untergarnsdorf and Krumbach, was hit by a severe flood.
In 1990 the municipality of Auerswalde came to the Saxon district of Chemnitz . In 1992 Auerswalde and Garnsdorf formed an administrative community , on January 1, 1994 the municipality of Auerswalde was created. When the district of Chemnitz was dissolved, the municipality of Auerswalde came to the district of Mittweida in 1994 , which was added to the district of central Saxony in 2008. In the course of the municipal reform in Saxony in 1999, the municipalities of Auerswalde, Lichtenau and Ottendorf were merged into a new municipality, the name of which was only determined by a referendum on May 28, 2000 as "Lichtenau"; 51% of those entitled to vote decided on this. The flood of the century in 2002 also had devastating effects in the Auerswalde district. Since November 2005, the entire administration of the municipality of Lichtenau has been located in the new town hall in "Auerswalder Hauptstraße 2" in Auerswalde.
Economy and Infrastructure
From 1845 onwards, the Riesa – Chemnitz railway line was built near Auerswalde . The Oberlichtenau station is located in close proximity to the east of Auerswalde from which hourly Chemnitz train travels to Mittweida and in the center of Chemnitz. In the west of the village in the Chemnitz valley across the river, already on the outskirts of Köthensdorf , the Auerswalde-Köthensdorf train station was located. Since the Chemnitz Valley Railway was shut down in 1998, no trains have stopped there. The Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path now runs along the former route. This is passable from Chemnitz via Wittgensdorf and Bf to Markersdorf and passes the Auerswalde tunnel .
In the 1930s, the construction of the federal highway 4 ( Dresden - Jena ) was pushed. The motorway intersects the local area over a length of around 1.5 kilometers. The next junction is "Chemnitz-Ost" in Oberlichtenau. From there the state road 204 (S 204) leads through Auerswalde. At the western end of the village it ends on the federal road 107 (Chemnitz – Rochlitz– Grimma ) in the Chemnitz valley. There is another link to the motorway at the “Chemnitz-Glösa” junction on the main road.
Thanks to its location on the motorway, companies settled in Auerswalde, for example the corrugated cardboard and display plants of the Schiettinger Group. Furthermore the company Tunap (formerly Erisol) at the Oberlichtenau train station.
