The Waldhufendorf Lobsdorf was mentioned in 1460 as "Ludewigesdorf" or "Ludwigsdorf". The town's St. Ludivici Church was mentioned as early as 1542. In the years 1792/93 it was replaced by the current building. The neighboring village of Kuhschnappel is ecclesiastically parish without Tirschheim. With regard to the basic rule of the place belonged to the 19th century as the official village to rule Glauchau , after partition in 1681 to the Official Forderglauchau . After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, Lobsdorf came to the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 .

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Lobsdorf came to the Hohenstein-Ernstthal district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). Between 1959/60 and 1990 the industrial railway of the St. Egidien nickel smelter was in operation, which connected the St. Egidien nickel smelter with the nickel opencast mines in the Callenberg area. Its route, which can still be seen today, ran east of Lobsdorf in several arcs. There was the “Lobsdorf siding” with the B3 signal box, none of which is left today.

The municipality of Lobsdorf came to the Saxon district of Hohenstein-Ernstthal in 1990 , which was added to the district of Chemnitzer Land in 1994 and in 2008 to the district of Zwickau. On January 1, 1996, the community Lobsdorf was incorporated into St. Egidien.
