Uftrungen was once subordinate to the Counts of Stolberg . In November 1437 the people of Halberstadt near Uftrungen suffered a military defeat in one of the numerous feuds of this century.
On July 6, 1719, the village was ceded by Count Christoph Friedrich zu Stolberg-Stolberg to his brother Jost Christian zu Stolberg-Roßla , who set up an official residence for the County of Stolberg-Roßla here. Until 1815 Uftrungen was under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Saxony and then came to the administrative district of Merseburg of the Prussian province of Saxony . In 1819 903 inhabitants lived in 182 houses in Uftrungen.
During the Second World War , around 1,500 concentration camp inmates from the Rottleberode subcamp of the Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp toiled in the Heimkehle karst cave producing armaments for the Junkers factories in Dessau . After their evacuation in April 1945, 1,000 of them perished in the massacre in the Isenschnibbe barn , and another 300 in a subsequent death march .
From 1952 to 1990 Uftrungen belonged to East Germany - Halle Region .
