Zauditz was first mentioned in 1327. At that time the village was owned by the Dominican monastery Ratibor . The village belonged to the Duchy of Opava and after its division in 1377 came to the Duchy of Jägerndorf .

Together with the neighboring village of Thröm , it formed a German-speaking island, while the other localities in the north of the Hultschiner Ländchen became Slav due to the influx of Moravian-speaking people.

Zauditz has had city ​​rights since 1533 ; it is believed that these were awarded as early as the 15th century. Zauditz was a media town . Peter Oderski von Liderau, who died in 1571, was the first landlord whose name is known. The town's owners often changed. Among them were the Barons von Henneberg in the 18th century, followed in 1816 by Ludwig Baron von Bibran. From 1833 to 1839 Eduard Fürst Lichnowsky owned Zauditz before it came into the possession of the Belgian house Lejeune and in 1856 of Anselm Freiherr von Rothschild .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Zauditz fell to Prussia, which put it in a border location that had a negative economic impact. It lost its town charter in the 18th century and was downgraded from a market town to a rural community at the beginning of the 19th century. During the Prussian district reform of 1816, the municipality, which previously belonged to the Leobschütz district , was assigned to the Ratibor district . In 1920 Zauditz came to Czechoslovakia , which kept it on the border. The border with Germany ran east and west and only Thröm lay in the north.

In 1938 it was relocated to Germany and the district of Ratibor. After the Second World War it was incorporated into Czechoslovakia in 1945.

In 1993, the Sudice-Pietraszyn (Klein Peterwitz) border crossing established a road connection to Racibórz in Poland . In 2007 the border crossing point was closed.
