In 1814 August Schumann mentions Burkersdorf in the state, post and newspaper encyclopedia of Saxony concerning a. a .:
“It is one of the strongest official villages [of the Frauenstein office] and its corridors are less mountainous than most of the other villages in this office. It has a parish church […] 119 houses, 2 mills with 3 gears , around 900 inhabitants, 59½ magazine, 61 clamping and 68¼ marching hooves. "
Albert Schiffner added in 1828 a. a .:
"[...] has (for the local type of land) good soil , especially suitable for the strong flax building , on which the farmers' numerous Schneller (small lime kilns ) are calculated."
He also mentions an inn and a forge not far from the watershed Gimmlitz - Bobritzsch , a grinding and board mill on the Gimmlitz and a hereditary dish.
With the opening of the narrow-gauge railway Klingenberg-Colmnitz-Frauenstein , the place received a railway connection on August 15, 1898 with the station "Burkersdorf (b Frauenstein)". Freight traffic was finally stopped on June 1, 1969, and passenger traffic followed after an industrial accident on October 21, 1971. The tracks were later dismantled.
With the construction of the Lichtenberg dam from 1966–1974, the built-up location in the Gimmlitztal was shortened by around 500 meters, thereby reducing the number of inhabitants.
Burkersdorf is still dominated by agriculture and has no industry. Most of the agricultural land is owned by Agrargenossenschaft e. G. managed, the rest by private individuals.
On March 1, 1994, Burkersdorf was incorporated into Frauenstein.

church
The independent parish already mentioned in the diocese of Meißen in 1346 already had a Romanesque church building at that time . A round arch portal in the southern porch is still preserved. The current building was erected around 1500 on the remains of the old church. The groin vault of the sacristy and the ogival gate of the western vestibule date from this period .
The church has a three-part bell, two of which are over 400 years old and were therefore taken over from the previous building. Repairs to the tower were carried out in 1774 and 1823, in 1906 the church received a new tower clock and in 1915 electrical lighting.
Furnishing
The interior is particularly determined by the baroque peasant painting. On the coffered ceiling there is a depiction of the Last Judgment, created in 1719 by Gottfried Geißler from Oberbobritzsch. On 88 fields in the galleries you can see representations from the Old and New Testaments from 1729, which perhaps Christian Räthel created. From 1992 to 1994 a comprehensive restoration of the church interior including the paintings took place.
The late Gothic winged altar dates from around 1510. The carved figures were created by the master of the Burgkersdorfer Altar , whose name is unknown . A four-glass hourglass has been preserved as a pulpit clock on the pulpit .
organ
Before the renovation in 1706 there was a positive in the church , after which an organ was installed. In 1901 a register was added and repaired in 1931. In 1950 Jehmlich Orgelbau Dresden rebuilt the organ and in 1988/89 a general overhaul took place.
