The first documentary mention comes from the year 1371 as Zwoytz . Schwoitsch was on a historic salt road that ran between Halle and Leipzig. Schwoitsch belonged to the Giebichenstein office in the hall circle of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . In 1680 this came under Brandenburg-Prussian rule as the Duchy of Magdeburg . In the time of Napoleonic occupation (1807-1813) the place was assigned to the canton Dieskau in the district of Halle ( department of the Saale ) of the Kingdom of Westphalia .

During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Schwoitsch was attached to the administrative district of Merseburg in the Prussian province of Saxony and assigned to the Saalkreis.

At the turn of the 20th century, Schwoitsch became famous for growing seeds from beets, vegetables and flowers.
