The memorial stone for the first documented mention of Marktleuthen in 1314 stands at the Hiltlweiher between Eckenmühle and Neumühle. In the chronicle, under the year 1368, there is talk of a church, the "Widemhof" and around two dozen farms.
The place name Marktleuthen (formerly also "Leuken" or "Leuthen") is interpreted as a Slavic name.
