In a document from 1352 a Jan or Jenil von Dithrichsdorf from Chemnitz is mentioned for the first time, to whom the possession of the settlement is ascribed. It can be assumed that the settlement originated in the 13th century, as the construction of a chapel in the center of the village is mentioned as early as 1250. 1359 the name Ditherichstorf , 1460 Dittersdorff is attested. In 1455 the von Einsiedel family was enfeoffed with Dittersdorf. These owned the place together with the places of the lordship of Weißbach-Dittersdorf until 1809. During the Thirty Years War in 1632 farms, barns and the manor (castle) were burned down by imperial troops under General von Holck . With division within the Einsiedel possessions in 1680, the independent dominion Weißbach-Dittersdorf arose.

After 1680 the owners had a manor built, which burned down before 1889 and was not rebuilt.

In 1694 Curt Heinrich von Einsiedel was granted the privilege to build an iron hammer , which was operated until the 19th century. Nevertheless, agriculture remained predominant in the place until that time. Hosiery knitting and spinning developed as a branch of industry from the 19th century . After Curt Heinrich von Einsiedel's death in 1808, Dittersdorf became the property of Louise Henriette Auguste Renate von Düben, née. Countess von Schönburg-Fordglauchau, about. In 1842 a hosiery guild was founded to which, in addition to Dittersdorf, the towns of Weißbach, Kemtau, Einsiedel, Erfenschlag and Reichenhain belonged. At the site of the iron hammer, Arthur Gehlert built the Dittersdorf felt and scratch cloth factory , which later became known nationwide . Pressed felts of all kinds were produced in pieces, panels and discs. This felt was used z. B. in piano construction (hammer heads, mutes). It was later run by the general director Wilhelm Schuncke (from 1900 to 1933) and his son Ernst Schuncke (from 1933 to 1970), both of whom came from an old family of musicians . The company, which was nationalized in 1972, was wound up after the fall of the Wall and the remains were blown up in 2000.

The old school was built in 1858, and the Amtsberg volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1878 . In 1907 a power station was built, which was shut down in 1922. Since then, the supply has been from the Oberlungwitz electrical power station. Between 1924 and 1928 a waterworks was built and in 1926 it was connected to the gas network.

In bombing raids on February 12 and March 5, 1945, 18 buildings were completely destroyed and 6 partially destroyed. 16 residents died. From July 8th to July 11th 1954 the Zwönitz flooded. In 1961 a new town hall was inaugurated.

On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Amtsberg was newly formed from the previously independent municipalities of Schlößchen, Weißbach and Dittersdorf.

Dittersdorf Church

from the south

Evangelical Lutheran Church:

In 1495 the chapel built in 1250 is rebuilt. A bell tower is put on top of this, parts of the roof structure from this conversion have been preserved to this day. At this point in time, the church already had its current size with a presumably rectangular choir closure. This choir room was expanded on the east side around 1666 and provided with a polygonal finish. The parish, which has belonged to two parishes since the Reformation, which found its way into this part of the country in 1539, was completely added to the parish of Einsiedel in 1579. In 1680 Dittersdorf became a branch church of the Parish Weißbach.
Around 1685 the private box for Curt Heinrich I von Einsiedel was built. He donated the first organ in 1693 and the baroque pulpit altar around 1695, which bore his coat of arms and that of his wife Magdalena Sibylla, nee. Marschallin von Bieberstein carries. In 1730 the bell tower was rebuilt, the year and the initials of the patron Curt Heinrich II von Einsiedel can be found in the weather vane .
In 1844 the interior was fundamentally rebuilt. Two-storey galleries with classicist style elements are built in and an additional window opening is made on the south side. The second organ was consecrated in 1849; it was the work of master organ builder Karl Traugott Stöckel from the town. In the following period, up to the last time in 1934, minor structural changes or extensions were made, such as another window opening, the addition of a staircase and a redesign of the organ.

On October 1, 1885, Dittersdorf became its own parish.

There is also a Evangelical Methodist Church in Dittersdorf.
