It is assumed that Thurau is a Slavic foundation, as the name can be derived from the Slavic. Thurau = village of Tur Auersdorf.
It is known that knights - especially from Thuringia and Saxony - were enfeoffed with land and people for their military services in the Sorbian country. These knights thus became landlords, who often called themselves after their new possession, which had a Slavic origin. In 1156, for example, a noble family called Thurowe, which died out at the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century. Furthermore, it is known that places ending in ow, which later became au, can be assigned to the younger Slavic period.
