The origin of the place is still largely unclear. Since it is a hamlet village, it should have been settled in the 7th or 8th century. Remains of a Roman country villa are in the "Hühnerschießer" district.

From 1933 to 1949, Eitzweiler was merged with the neighboring Asweiler to form the Asweiler-Eitzweiler community. From 1817 to 1937 Asweiler belonged to the Oldenburg principality of Birkenfeld , then to 1947 to the district of Birkenfeld and since then to the Saarland.

As part of the regional and administrative reform in Saarland , the previously independent municipality of Eitzweiler was assigned to the municipality of Freisen on January 1, 1974.
