The establishment of the village, which was laid out as a logging settlement by Georg von Lobkowicz , is dated to 1592. In the 16th century the place belonged to the mining areas of the Ore Mountains. At that time silver, copper and lead were mined in the village. In the years 1624 to 1629 the new ditch rafts were created; the raft ditch led from Fleyh to Clausnitz in Saxony. It was commissioned by the Saxon Elector Johann Georg I based on plans by Friedrich Lingke. For a total of 243 years, wood was transported from the Bohemian forests to Freiberg there . In the last quarter of the 18th century there was a Saxon customs house in the village on the Bohemian side, where the Saxon raft master lived. In 1800 the local church of St. Peter and Paul was built at the expense of the parish, before the village was parish after Fleyh.

In 1830 Georgensdorf , also known as Böhmisch-Georgenthal , had 125 houses with 648 German-speaking residents, including 17 traders. The local church of St. Peter and Paul, whose pastor was paid from the religious fund, and the school were under lordly patronage . Around 1870 the local church was under the patronage of Count Waldstein . The elementary school was single-class around 1870 and was attended by 76 boys and 64 girls, a total of 140 students; The Count's Lichtenwald Castle started school.

There were eight grinding mills and four board mills in the village . The Lichtenwald hunting lodge with a forester's house and a dilapidated Meierhof was situated apart . Until the mid-19th century was Georg Ensdorf the Fideikommissherrschaft Dux servants.

After the abolition of patrimonial Georgendorf formed a community in the Leitmeritz district and judicial district of Dux from 1850 with the single-layer Kühlstall and Lichtenwald . From 1868 the community belonged to the Teplitz district and from 1896 to the Brüx district . In 1905 Georgendorf was assigned to the newly formed judicial district of Oberleutensdorf .

After the First World War , the region was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia . Due to the Munich Agreement , Georgendorf belonged from 1938 to 1945 to the district of Brüx , administrative district of Aussig , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland of the German Empire . In 1939 710 people lived in the community. After the end of World War II , the place was taken over by Czechoslovakia , and the German-Bohemian population was expropriated and expelled .

After the Second World War, the Church of St. Peter and Paul was destroyed. Between 1958 and 1960, the Fláje dam was built southeast of the village . In this context, the neighboring municipality of Fláje was dissolved in 1960 and the village of Fláje was added to Český Jiřetín. In 1969 the Church of St. John the Baptist was moved from the extinct village of Fláje to Český Jiřetín. In 1995 a border crossing for hikers to Deutschgeorgenthal was opened, and in 2008 this was expanded to a road connection.

Currently, the local recreation and border town lives mainly from tourism.
