life and work

Oskar Theodor Auerswald was born in Ponickau in 1827 as the son of the local pastor August Benjamin Auerswald. After attending grammar school in Dresden, he enrolled on May 18, 1846 at the University of Leipzig as a theology student.

As a student, Auerswald escaped the Prussian troops towards the end of the Saxon imperial constitution campaign in 1849. Some of his fellow students received heavy fines for participating in an insurgent group.

In 1859 Auerswald became his father's deputy (substitute) as pastor in Ponickau. From 1862, two years after the death of his father, he officially worked as pastor of the parish of Ponickau.

His son Martin was born in Ponickau in 1863. At the age of 49, Auerswald became the father of twin daughters Maria and Thekla.

Auerswald provided with The old god is still alive! , a description of the events around the Ponickau well construction in December 1866, for the fact that more than 150 years later it was reported how the two men buried during the construction could be saved alive after eleven days.

In 1901 Auerswald lived in Laußnitz, where he died on September 16, 1903. During his time in Laußnitz, he wrote a review of 25 years of conference work on the Chemnitz Conference, an association of Saxon clergy with neo-Lutheran influences.
