The first written mention of the place dates from 1434 as Gerstorff . With the Reformation in 1539 Görsdorf came to Parochie Forchheim.
August Schumann wrote in 1816 in the State Lexicon of Saxony Görsdorf regarding, among other things:
“This village has 350 inhabitants who do good agriculture; It also includes the new mill, and a raft wage house, also raft cabbage yards, because here, like in the village of Blumenau , good coals are burned and sent to the royal family. Smelting works delivered to Freiberg. […] It is assumed that these rafts have existed since 1566, but one is not certain because the exact information about the origin, constitution and rights of these rafts was lost towards the end of the 17th century when the Raft Office Archives burned down . […] The staff of the Görsdorf-Blumenauer rafts consists of 6 officers and 20 charcoal burners, loggers and work; it is under the supervision of Freiberg. The raft masters have lived alternately at Olbernhau and Sorgau since the 17th century . The hoarse charring is probably the strongest in all of Saxony, although it has been reduced in more recent times, because apart from the still existing charcoal fields at Blumenau and Görsdorf there were also some at Falkenau and Borstendorf . "
In the heyday, over 100 charcoal piles are said to have stood on the Flöhawiesen. The cabbage fields had to deliver 8,000 loads a year. On April 9, 1876, the last rafting took place on Flöha and Schwarzer Pockau .
A first school building was erected in 1695, it was replaced by a new building in 1860 and the latter in turn by another in 1897.
In 1836 the stone bridge of today's B 101 was built over the Flöha , which was so damaged in connection with the floods in August 2002 that it was impassable. I.a. one of the two river pillars was completely torn away so that it was later torn down. In the period that followed, a temporary bridge spanned the Flöha before a new steel arch bridge was opened to traffic at the old location in 2006.
On April 1, 1934, Görsdorf was incorporated into Pockau.
