Augaard was first attested in a document from the year 1337. The name combines two words, with Au being a common name for a river and Ga(a)rd meaning yard. Thus, the name could be translated as "yard at the river", possibly referring to the nearby
Treene stream. It is said that the castle's grounds was a peninsula-like hill measuring roughly 100 meters across (). The village can be found on Prussian and Danish maps dating 1857/1858 and 1879, respectively. In Augaard, the first
Volkshochschule of
Schleswig that was teaching in
Danish opened in 1863, the
Aagaard Højskole. Though, it was shut down and closed by Prussian authorities in 1889
Administrative History Up until the 1960's, Augaard was part of the municipality of Juhlschau that was merged into
Munkwolstrup on 1 January 1962. With a municipal reform in 1974, the latter was merged with the neighboring village of Barderup to create the municipality of
Sankelmark. Sankelmark itself was merged into the Oeversee municipality in another reform in 2008. == Notable Residents ==
