Möglenz is a pure rural village and was probably originally a Slavic local foundation. The first documentary mention took place in 1243 as Mogelenc . The name of the place is derived from the Slavic mogyla (earth or burial mound). In contrast to the nearby town of Lausitz , which was referred to as Lužica ( brook in the swampy lowland ), Mogylnica could be understood as a brook in hilly terrain . The place used to consist of two parts, which manifested itself in the fact that each part had its own local judge. The residents of Möglenz have always been farming and raising cattle.

In 1343 Botho von Ileburg , city lord of Liebenwerda, sold his part of the village to the Güldenstern monastery in Mühlberg . From then on, this western district had to pay its taxes, duties and services to Mühlberg, while the eastern district continued to be subordinate to the Liebenwerda office. In 1337 the place was called Mogelencz and in 1346 as Mogelentz .

In 1540 the place was named as a branch of Saxdorf. From 1559 to 1570 the place belonged to the diocese of Meißen . In 1601 the first church in the village burned down.

In 1637, as a result of the Thirty Years War, there were many desolate estates in Möglenz . The first mill in the village was built in 1647 and the first school in the village was built in 1673. In 1709 a large fire broke out in the manor, which burned 14 estates and barns. Due to the lack of water, almost the entire village burned down in 1817. This fire killed 40 houses, barns and the church, which was rebuilt from donations between 1819 and 1820 and has been preserved to this day.

In 1835 there were 51 houses, 291 residents with 80 horses, 242 cattle, 298 sheep and 62 pigs.

In the First World War 25 people died and in the Second 28 people from Möglenz.

On April 23, 1945, the Red Army marched into Möglenz.

On December 6, 1993 Möglenz was incorporated into the city of Bad Liebenwerda.
