The forest hoof village Hauptmannsgrün was first mentioned in a document in 1367 in a privileged letter from Emperor Charles IV . In the church registers of the church district Waldkirchen , in which Hauptmannsgrün belonged, the place was mentioned in documents as early as 1140. An early German ring wall from the 13th century also indicates an early settlement of the area . The remains of these are still to be found east of "Waldkirchner Straße". The original name of the place was "Hartmannsgrün", which means something like "Rodesiedlung des Hartwig or Hartmann".

From the 16th century, the manor over Hauptmannsgrün was at the Neumark manor , which was owned by the Römer family from Zwickau for a long time . Thus, until 1856, Hauptmannsgrün belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau in the Erzgebirge district . In contrast to Hauptmannsgrün, the neighboring towns of Ober- and Unterheinsdorf belonged to the Plauen district in the Vogtland district . In 1856 Hauptmannsgrün, like the places in the former Zwickau office, which had also been part of the Neumark manor, was incorporated into the Reichenbach court office and in 1875 the Plauen administration . In the second half of the 19th century, iron ore mining was carried out between Hauptmannsgrün and Oberneumark. In 1860 the "Thekla" mine was taken over by the Queen Marienhütte in Cainsdorf . After this stopped the production of pig iron in the Hochhofen in 1893, mining in Hauptmannsgrün also came to a standstill. In 1940 the volunteer fire department Hauptmannsgrün was founded.

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, Hauptmannsgrün became part of the Reichenbach district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Reichenbach from 1990 and became part of the Vogtland district in 1996. In 1991 a meeting room was added to the fire station of the volunteer fire brigade Hauptmannsgrün, which can also be used as a community room by the citizens for celebrations.

On January 1, 1994, Hauptmannsgrün was merged with Oberheinsdorf and Unterheinsdorf to form the municipality of Heinsdorfergrund, which on April 1, 1994 was renamed Heinsdorfergrund.
