History and incorporations
history
The main town of Ostrau is mentioned for the first time as Ostrowa (from the Sorbian town in the Aue or the town on Werder or the town between the two rivers ) in a deed of donation from the Altenzella monastery .
The oldest part of the village is likely to be Jahna, which was first mentioned in a document in 929.
Around 1190, "Ostrowa" received a Vorwerk , from which the monastery property and later Brauschenkengut emerged. Later the restaurant "Wilder Mann" developed from it. After the secularization of the Altzella monastery, Ostrau, Gohris (proportionately), Münchhof, Trebanitz and Niederlützschera came as exclaves to the Nossener , later to the Mügelner office .
In 1689 a witch hunt was carried out in Ostrau . Anna Maria, widow of the thresher Nicol Braune, got into a witch trial and was burned. This was the last known executed death sentence with fire for sorcery in Saxony. In the district of Sömnitz in 1644 Hans Roßberg and his wife went to a witch trial.
With the commissioning of the Großbauchlitz – Riesa railway line in 1847, Ostrau received a station.
In 1939 Ostrau received a coat of arms that still exists today in the same form. It contains a lime kiln framed by ears of wheat. It indicates dolomite mining , the only industry that Ostrau has. There is an enduring tradition of gray lime production here .
The local pharmacy was established in 1867.

Economy and Infrastructure
economy
_Rittergut_Herrenhaus.jpg)
The economy of the place has been shaped for centuries by the mining of lime, the remaining open pit holes and individual historical production facilities can still be seen. This rock is currently being mined by one company.
Loess soils that occurred in the Lommatzscher care provided good conditions for agriculture, in which many residents were employed until the political change in 1990. During the GDR era, a nationally important dairy cattle facility was built in Ostrau. Today this belongs to the Ostrauer Agrar AG.
In October 1990 the first sod was broken for the new industrial area in Ostrau, in 1991 the first settlements took place, meanwhile 59 companies are represented there.
