Zschorno was first mentioned in 1524 and later belonged to the Forst-Pförten rule, which was reunited in 1746 by the Saxon Prime Minister Heinrich von Brühl. Around 1800 the manor house was built, the castle is a listed building. In 1844, Friedrich Hermann Rötzschke, who would later be the Kromlau park designer, resided at Gut Zschorno for a few years. Zschorno was incorporated into Jämlitz in 1950. The watermill on the road to Zschorno, formerly located on the old customs road via Alte Schänke to Muskau, also known as the Weißmühle, has been operated with water from the Föhren river since the beginning of 1622. After the fall of the Wall, it was shut down and converted into a residential building by the owner. The Hermannmühle, built in 1578, is located on the north side of the Föhren River on Tschernitz territory. In 1959 four apartments were built here, the residents laid out a green area with azaleas and rhododendron bushes at the mill pond. Ostriches and highland cattle are bred here. The fields and meadows around Jämlitz are used for agriculture. Poultry farming on the edge of the village has developed into a place of pilgrimage every year because of the Christmas roast goose.
