In the year 1272 Fockendorf was mentioned for the first time, the district Pahna however already in 1227. In 1445 the place consisted of 15 farms. In contrast to the surrounding settlements, the place name is of German origin and means something like "village of Vokko". Ecclesiastically, Fockendorf belongs to the parish of Treben . The village is affected by the Pleiße and in 1445 a mill was first mentioned in a document.
Fockendorf belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, Fockendorf belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). From 1918 Fockendorf belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 the place came to the district of Altenburg .
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality Pahna was incorporated.
During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus the place came with the district Altenburg to the district of Leipzig . In 1990 Fockendorf became Thuringian again with the Altenburg district, which became part of the Altenburger Land district in 1994.
From 1692 to 1995 there was a place in the paper mill , with the commissioning of a 1861 paper machine for paper mill was. The supply of raw materials and the sale of their products took place via a cable car almost two kilometers long and built in 1898, which established a connection to the Leipzig – Hof railway line and the remains of which can still be seen in the area today. In 1946, the factory, which had also included a lignite mine in Pahna since 1880, was completely dismantled by order of the Soviet military administration and taken to the Soviet Union as a reparation payment . However, operations continued and in 1949 a paper machine went back into operation. After the factory was closed in 1995, the Fockendof community took over the company premises. In 2000 and 2001, a large part of the factory building was demolished; the remaining buildings now house the fire station of the volunteer fire brigade , several companies and a local history and paper museum, which also includes a small hydropower plant. At the time of National Socialism, 60 foreign prisoners were used as slave labor in the paper mill and in the surrounding farms . Since 1952 Fockendorf was the seat of an agricultural production cooperative .
