history

The village was first mentioned in a document as Uskewicz in 1365 in a purchase contract for the St. Marienstern monastery . The site of Auschkowitz as a round hamlet indicates a Sorbian foundation. Around 1580 the place was partly under the lordship of the Marienstern Monastery, the manor in Jeßnitz and the Bailiff Budissin. The residents of Auschkowitz had to pay the monastery Marienstern with six chickens, 30 eggs and 1½ liters of poppy seeds.

Auschowitz was a parish in Göda until 1825 , since then the place has belonged to the parish of Uhyst am Taucher. While the ownership of some parts of the village frequently changed, the Marienstern monastery held the manorial rule over Auschkowitz until the 20th century. After the land reform in 1945, the monastery was expropriated and the 60 hectare feudal estate was divided and the land was given to new farmers . On January 1, 1957, Auschkowitz was incorporated into Kleinhöhenchen.

During the GDR era there was an agricultural production cooperative in Auschkowitz . In 1986 five semi-detached houses were built for the employees of the LPG. Auschkowitz has belonged to the Free State of Saxony since the fall of the Wall. On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Klein hchenchen was merged with Burkau and Uhyst am Taucher to form the new municipality of Burkau .

Of the latter, 21 residents were Roman Catholic and 35 residents were Evangelical Lutheran , plus one Jewish resident. After the end of the Second World War , the population rose to 100 due to the admission of refugees from the German eastern regions.
