Caaschwitz was first mentioned in 1191 and on June 21, 1299 in the UB of the Bailiffs of Weida I 298.

During the Thirty Years' War the place was set on fire on January 29, 1637 by imperial soldiers, 19 farms were destroyed.

Today's parish hall was built as a school in 1859, and the Caaschwitz volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1887. In 1954 the place was hit by the flooding of the Weisse Elster, to date it is the highest flood event ever recorded in the place. In 1960 the local farmers were forcibly collectivized in an agricultural production cooperative.

In 2013, the White Elster threatened the site again, and flooding of the site could only just be prevented.

Sports

In 1967, sports friend Bruno Reuter brought the "BSG Aufbau Caaschwitz" into being. The soccer section was created . But many years before that, sports had been practiced in the Caaschwitz sports club , including gymnastics and table tennis . In 2004 documents emerged that prove the establishment of "TSG Caaschwitz" 100 years ago. For this reason, a 100th anniversary celebration took place at the beginning of autumn 2004. Just one year after the start of football, the team was promoted to the district class and relegated straight away. After the sports field was consecrated in 1970, the miners' tournaments ( Dolomitwerk ) were held annually from 1971 to 1973 . In 1981 BSG Aufbau Caaschwitz welcomed Czech friends from Neurazy to a soccer game. A return visit by the footballers and their families took place a year later and further meetings followed.

Furthermore, sporting and friendly relationships have been cultivated with the soccer club “Traktor Ursprung” from Saxony for over 20 years , which still takes part in the traditional Whitsun soccer tournament today. In the playing years 1982/1983, 1983/1984 and 1984/1985 the Caaschwitz footballers were able to reach the final of the Golden Tractor ( challenge cup ). In the first two game series, the cup stayed in Caaschwitz.

On August 16, 1990, the company sports community became the gymnastics and sports community . After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the club managed to find sponsors who enabled the game to continue. TSG has been a registered association since April 2, 1991. At the annual Whitsun tournaments in 1985, 1986, 1987, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2000 and 2003, the players were able to achieve one of the top three places.

The association actively supports the Caaschwitz community in cultural events. The youngest athletes between the ages of seven and 15 held a football tournament between 1994 and 1997 at the home, children's and sports festival.

In 2002, with the help of lottery funds from the State Chancellery and the Ministry of the Interior, the sports ground was expanded by building a football field , in 2003 a volleyball court and in 2004 a basketball court .

At the general meeting in 2004, a proposal by the Silbitzer sports club to merge the two sports clubs was unanimously rejected.
