In 1285 the place was mentioned as Pawilsdorf (settlement of a Paul) in a document of the St. Marienstern monastery . It probably emerged from the redesign of a Slavic village that was named as early as the 12th century. The settlement came into the possession of the monastery as part of the Eigenschen Kreis. The manor was first mentioned in 1389. The St. Marienstern Monastery sold it to the Lords of Gersdorf in the 14th century. At the beginning of the 17th century the property went to Johann Friedrich von Ingenhaeff. His son, who took over the manor in 1763, had the castle built in 1775. In the 19th and 20th centuries the property had several owners, from 1872 it was owned by the von Wuthenau family and from 1927 to the Hauptmann von Fallois family.
In the 18th century, Paulsdorf was given the suffix German to distinguish it from Paulsdorf near Löbau , located about nine kilometers to the west, and the other Paulsdorf was henceforth called Wendisch-Paulsdorf . In 1777 there were two possessed men , 18 gardeners and 11 cottagers living in the village. As a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Deutsch-Paulsdorf became a border town between Saxony and Prussia . It belonged to the Silesian district of Görlitz . Sohland in Saxony remained the parish and school location of the evangelical Deutsch-Paulsdorf. It was only with the founding of the North German Confederation in 1867 and the German Empire in 1871 that the division of the German-Paulsdorf region was reversed. Numerous boundary stones from this time are still preserved today.
In the two world wars at the beginning of the 20th century, 15 ( First World War ) and 13 ( Second World War ) German Paulsdorfer fell. After the Second World War, the Soviet occupying power took over Upper Lusatia and incorporated it into the German Democratic Republic in 1949 . There, Deutsch-Paulsdorf was initially assigned to the Niesky district and in 1952 to the Görlitz district in the Dresden district . The population of the place typically peaked in the post-war years with over 350 inhabitants in 1946. In the following years, however, this number fell to just over 200 in 1990 and has continued to follow a slightly falling trend since then.
The work of the farmers in the village was converted to the principle of agriculture in the GDR from the 1950s . A Deutsch-Paulsdorfer LPG was founded , which was later merged with Gersdorfer and converted into an agricultural cooperative in 1991. The church affiliation of the village was moved in 1973 from Sohland to Gersdorf.
After German reunification and the re-establishment of Saxony, Deutsch-Paulsdorf belonged to the Free State until 1994 as part of the (rural) district of Görlitz, then until 2008 as part of the Lower Silesian Oberlausitzkreis . On January 1, 1994 the communal independence of the place ended with the incorporation into Markersdorf. Until 2006 there was a school in the village, today the school building is used by the Deutsch-Paulsdorf kindergarten. Deutsch-Paulsdorf has been part of the district of Görlitz formed in the 2008 district reform since 2008 .
After 1990 a local council was established, which is elected every five years and consists of three members.
