The small village, probably founded in the 12th century by the Lobdeburg family, was an active fief of the Abbots of Saalfeld and was repeatedly deserted. Since the 16th century, only two houses were occupied as forest and field supervisors, and not always. In 1850, the last family left the isolated place.

The small village was probably founded in the 12th century. It was the Lobdeburgers who received active fiefs from the abbot of Saalfeld. The settlement was often deserted. Only two houses were inhabited from the 16th century for field supervision. The church was first mentioned in the 15th century. It was outside the center of the village. In 1688, Christoph von Kropff zu Zeutsch converted it into a barn. The Lords of Eichenberg prevented him from using it because of the church fief. In 1850, the last family left Töpfersdorf.
