Zweedorf was first mentioned in 1252 as Twedorp. The name is said to have arisen as a result of the union of the two villages of Borgstorf and Kladrum ("two villages")

On the other hand, the Boizenburg council chief Henricus de Thvedorp, who is documented for the year 1241, comes from Zweedorf, which is why a naming based on an ancestor of this Heinrich von Zweedorf - as a ministerial locator from the entourage of Henry the Lion - must be considered.

Zweedorf is located in a strip of former wasteland immediately east of the Limes Saxoniae. This strip of wasteland ran along the Delvenau in the Middle Ages and stretched east to the Boize.

Zweedorf is one of the most battered villages because of its location directly on the inner-German border. In 1952 the residents were forcibly evacuated. Some were able to escape this by fleeing to the west. The Zweedorfer church was on 18./19. Demolished in November 1978 because the GDR regime feared that the building could be used as a hiding place by potential refugees due to its proximity to the inner-German border. In 1982 the rectory was demolished. As a result of the move, Zweedorf now has a closed location with around 140 inhabitants. In 2009 the construction of a chapel began in Zweedorf. The inauguration took place on September 4, 2011.
