Community structure

history

The discovery of an urn grave field from the Bronze Age in the 19th century suggests a very early settlement of the place. In 1632 the community was first evidently mentioned as "Tawern". As early as 1652 the place was called "Taurow". The Schönhöhe district had existed as an arable farm since 1742. As part of the settlement policy of Frederick II , a two-row street village was created here from 1752, in which families predominantly from Saxony were settled at the time. The Teerofen colony (today the Teerofen residential area) on the Großsee, which had existed since 1665, became known for its tar and pitch extraction. In 1852 the tar distillery was closed. Many local residents emigrated to Australia and North America in the mid-19th century.

Tauer belonged to the Cottbus district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1816 and to the Guben district in the GDR district of Cottbus from 1952 . The community has been in the Spree-Neisse district of Brandenburg since 1993.

In 1993 Schönhöhe was incorporated into Tauer.
