Grund was first mentioned in 1508. At that time, the smelter Hans Rörer from Dippoldiswalde dug an inheritance mine on the Ziegenrück near Ohorn to mine silver ore . Subsequently, a small settlement of miners with part-time farming gradually arose . In 1575 the place was mentioned as the village of Ziegenruck or as a village in Zugenruckergrund (1591). This place formed one of the northernmost points of the Freiberg district . The main digging was done on zinc blende , which here contained up to two percent silver. Local mining reached its peak at the beginning of the 18th century. Under Elector-King Augustus the Strong , the place was also called Silbergrund . In times when mining went down, the terms Bettelgrund or Wüst Arabien were common. Since the beginning of tourism at the end of the 19th century, Grund has also been affectionately known as Klein Tirol .

Administratively contained land in medieval times as office Village to the Official Grillenburg that later in the second half of the 19th century in the Amtshauptmannschaft Dresden in the same Kreishauptmannschaft passed. In 1834 the row village had 212 inhabitants, by 1871 the number of inhabitants rose to 627. For the year 1890 578 inhabitants were given who went to church after Mohorn. Even today Grund belongs to the Mohorner parish .

The location on the Triebisch was beneficial for the development of various mills. The Ober- and Niedermühle Grund were among the most important mills. As a result of the mining industry was built on the corridor Wüst Arabia the Huthaus Wüst Arabia.

Since ground was laid in Mohorn's corridors, it had been part of Mohorn for a long time , which gained independence as a rural municipality through the Saxon rural community order of 1838 . After the Second World War , the region first became part of the Soviet occupation zone and later the GDR . In the 1952 district reform , the old states and districts were dissolved and replaced by districts and new districts. The reform came into force on July 25, 1952 and initially assigned Mohorn to the Freiberg district ( Chemnitz district ) with good reason . On December 4th of the same year the community moved to the Freital district in the Dresden district .

After reunification and reunification , Mohorn came to the re-established Free State of Saxony and became part of the Weisseritz district during the 1994 district reform . Mohorn belonged to this district as an independent municipality until July 31, 2000, after which the places Mohorn, Grund and Herzogswalde (incorporated into Mohorn on January 1, 1974) were incorporated into the city of Wilsdruff. The city has been part of the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district since the second Saxon district reform in 2008.

After considerable clean-up work by the Geology Association in the Tharandt Forest , the mouth of the 500 m long rich Matthias Erbstolln (1845–1861) was integrated into the Geological Open-Air Museum in the Tharandt Forest, which also includes the geologically unique porphyry fan .
