The exact founding time of the place Bieberstein cannot be precisely determined. The place name was mentioned in 1156 in connection with the first mention of the neighboring town of Krummenhennersdorf , the western part of which belonged to Bieberstein Castle at that time . The first documentary mention of a nobleman named after this castle, Günther von Bieberstein , comes from the year 1218. The area between the Freiberg Mulde belonged to the manorial power of Bieberstein Castle, also first mentioned in 1218, which was temporarily separated into an upper and lower part in the west and the Bobritzsch in the east with the places Bieberstein, Burkersdorf , Gotthelffriedrichsgrund (founded in 1670), Hohentanne , Rothenfurth and the west of Krummenhennersdorf. The manor was the most south-westerly part of the district office of Meissen .

In the 14th and 15th centuries, the castle, place and rule of Bieberstein belonged to the marshals of Bieberstein , who were not related to the von Bieberstein family. The Saxon Elector August allowed them in 1559 to collect customs duties from the users of the bridge over the Bobritzsch. In return, they had to maintain the bridge and the road to Bieberstein, which at that time was the most important connection between Meißen and Freiberg . Bieberstein remained in the possession of this family until 1602. The new palace was around 1600 with the medieval dungeon contracted into a closed assembly. At the beginning of the 17th century, the two Bieberstein estates belonged to the Alnpeck and Hartitzsch families . Between 1630 and 1807, the castle, lordship and place of Bieberstein were owned by the von Schönberg family , who also owned the neighboring Reinsberg Castle . Gotthelf Friedrich von Schönberg (1631–1708) had most of the building demolished down to the foundation walls in 1666 and rebuilt in its present basic form. The church in Bieberstein was consecrated in 1676 after a renovation by Hans Stecher .

Until 1836, Bieberstein belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon District Office of Meißen . From 1836 the place with the Bieberstein lordship briefly belonged to the Freiberg district office .

In 1856 Bieberstein was affiliated to the Nossen court office and in 1875 to the Meißen administration . On July 1, 1950, the municipality of Burkersdorf was incorporated with its Gotthelffriedrichsgrund district to Bieberstein. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Bieberstein came to the Freiberg district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Freiberg district of Saxony from 1990 . During the GDR era, the “Rudolf Marek” children's holiday camp was built and maintained in the village . Bieberstein Castle was a popular youth hostel until 1992 .

The community of Bieberstein (with its districts Burkersdorf and Gotthelffriedrichsgrund; referred to as Burkersdorf A and B) merged on March 1, 1994 with the communities of Dittmannsdorf , Hirschfeld , Neukirchen (with OT Steinbach ) and Reinsberg to form the new community of Reinsberg . Since then it has been one of five localities in the municipality of Reinsberg. Bieberstein has been part of the Central Saxony district since 2008.
