A first documentary mention as a Sterwinde is from 1242.

According to older local research, the town of Etter winds originated as a settlement of deported Slavic prisoners of war in the time of Eastern Franconia . This has now been refuted by research results. Accordingly, the place originated in the 8th century, the place name means: "fenced forest meadow / pasture".

In the High Middle Ages there was also a place called “Schönewinden” and other settlements on the upper reaches of the Elte. All these settlements were given up after wars and epidemics and the present village was created at the farm (?) Etterwind (founding legend).

The inhabitants lived in the territory of the Frankensteiner until 1330 . They made their living from agriculture or worked as woodcutters, blacksmiths and charcoal burners in the Ruhla forests. Iron ore was discovered on the Eisenberg near Etterwinds and there was mining and quarrying there until the 20th century. The top mill of the Elte Valley was located near the former village of Taubenellen . Etterzüge belonged to various nobles, most recently to the Lords of Reckerodt , who in 1523 sold to the Wartburg bailiff for 400 guilders.

To the south of the village, two castles were built in the forest near Nürnberger Straße as early as the 12th century - the Alte Ringelstein below the Kissel hunting lodge and the Neue Ringelstein in the Waldfisch district. Far from the neighboring villages, these castles were primarily used as road posts and customs posts. The border between the later duchies of Saxony-Eisenach and Saxony-Meiningen ran south of Etterwind for several centuries . The old Ringelstein found its way into the legendary world of Thuringia as a robbery castle (legend of the Brautborn).

The Eisenach forests must have been productive for hunting because hunting camps were set up here quite often. The Wartburg bailiff had a special hunting lodge built in nearby Wintershausen in 1524/25 at his own expense. Bear hunts were popular, and in 1537 an Etterwinder driver was injured and he was awarded grain compensation. Around the village, numerous boundary stones mark the village area and at the same time the extent of the ducal hunting grounds.

In the 16th century, copper mining in the area around Kupfersuhl and Möhra reached its peak, remnants of the former pits, ponds and moats can still be found around the Wackenhof and on the road to Kupfersuhl in the Flachsland . During this time, the neighboring towns were involved in haulage services and in the construction of roads and buildings, as evidenced by the mining documents from this period. The church in the town center was built in 1569 as a branch church of Eckardtshausen. The few inhabitants of the village were financially unable to repair the building after the Thirty Years War. In 1817 the church building, which was further damaged by storms and war, was classified as very poor and dilapidated. The ruin was removed in 1842; The evangelical pastor Scheidel from Eckardtshausen immediately submitted plans for a new building, the structural work was already completed on September 24, 1843 with the installation of the weather vane and church tower button, the inauguration took place on July 14, 1844. The simple architectural style of the village church also corresponds interior still preserved.

In the neighboring town of Ruhla, numerous manufacturing operations were established after 1850, in which the Etterwind population found work. To do this, the route had to be covered twice a day (initially on foot) via the Rennsteig on Gollertstrasse.

As a rule, agriculture could only be pursued as a sideline because of the harsh climate and poor crumb . Only the industrial boom in Ruhla created the basis for population growth at the end of the 19th century. Etterzüge has been part of the immediate vicinity of the Wartburg since the Middle Ages, which is ultimately why it was in the Eisenach district as its highest village community. The border location had the consequence that the dialect stands out significantly from the Werra area and also to the nearest place in the moorland, forest fish. The many inhabitants active in the industry of the Erbstromtal were the reason for the membership in the community association of Ruhla (Ruhla, Thal, Kittelsthal, Seebach) which existed during the GDR era. To this day, Etterwind belongs to the area code "036929" (Ruhla). After reunification, the town oriented itself towards Oberellen. Member communities of the now established Eltetal administrative community were the places Eckardtshausen , Etterwind, Förtha , Oberellen , Unterellen and Wolfsburg-Unkeroda . On the occasion of the Thuringian district reform, Etterwind was incorporated into Moorgrund on January 1, 1996. Since then, the postal code 36433 has also been identical to Bad Salzungen. Today, due to the accessibility with public transport, the primary employment of the residents in and near Eisenach and above all the historical affiliation, it is advisable to move closer to Eisenach for the upcoming regional reform.

The oldest traditional association of the place is the "Mixed Folk Choir Etterwind", it was founded in 1883. In addition to the football club and the volunteer fire brigade, the "Etterwindener Carnevalsclub" was also created during the GDR era. The local shooting club was not established until after 1990. The hunting association with its hunting horn blowers is also one of the traditional associations in Etterlösungen. A kindergarten, the village community center, the rooms of the Protestant parish and a children's playground are among the "top addresses" in town.

In the course of the village renewal from 2012 to 2017, extensive renovation measures such as the redesign of the village square and the renovation of the old municipal administration were carried out and a large part of the road network (Triftstraße, Am Friedhof, Kupfersuhler Straße, Schulstraße, Unterm Eichenberg) including supply lines were fundamentally expanded and suitable for the village .
