In the area of ​​the Brunnholz, 800 m south of Garsdorf, there are 31 prehistoric burial mounds. In the Middle Ages, the place was on Hohen Strasse , an old street that led from Nuremberg via Ensdorf to Naab , it was created in Carolingian times .

The place name is derived from the village of Gozi . The spelling of the name changed several times : Gosdorf (1310), Jarsdorf (1548), Garstorff (1578) and Garstorf (1661).

The name Gozi is mentioned between 1048 and 1060, when a transfer of censuals and serfs took place under Abbot Reginwald from the St. Emmeram monastery . The first documentary mention is in connection with the "Amberg forest ban", which Duke Ludwig IV granted the citizens of Amberg to secure the large demand for wood for the mining industry, and the border between Garsdorf, Bittenbrunn and Bärenfall is also mentioned.

In 1578 there are 7 subjects in Garsdorf. In 1612, Endres Zennefelser zu Wolfsbach was granted the freedom of Garsdorf . For this he had to serve the sovereign with an armored horse. In 1661 the place counts 10 estates, three are still deserted because of the Thirty Years War . Until 1693 the heirs of the Zennefelser are mentioned here, 1694/95 the Hofmark comes to the heirs of Michael Loefen. The Amberg Jesuit College has been in possession of the estate since 1710 . In 1772 Garsdorf had 21 subjects. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773, the village came to the Maltese , in 1799 the place was confiscated by the government.

On June 28, 1818 the community Garsdorf with the districts Eglhofen.
