Mönchenholzhausen was first mentioned in a document in 876. In 1343 it was called Moncheholizhausen.

In the Middle Ages, the villages (excluding Eichelborn and Hayn) belonged to the county of Vieselbach , which from 1343 belonged to the area of the city of Erfurt . In 1802 Mönchenholzhausen came with the Erfurt area to Prussia and between 1807 and 1813 to the French Principality of Erfurt . With the Congress of Vienna in 1815 the place came to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach ( Amt Vieselbach ) with the Amt Azmannsdorf , to whose administrative district Weimar it belonged from 1850.

On July 20, 1816, coming from Weimar and on the way to Würzburg, Wiesbaden and Stuttgart, the car of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe crashed "shortly before Münchenholzen" . His companion, Hofrat Meyer , suffered a gash on his forehead and both had to return to Weimar. Because of this delay, the trip to the south was canceled and Goethe took a cure for several weeks in Bad Tennstedt instead .

Mönchenholzhausen was expanded in 1974 to include the neighboring villages of Eichelborn , Hayn , Obernissa and Sohnstedt . From May 7, 1976 Mönchenholzhausen became part of the community association Vieselbach . After the Erfurt district was dissolved on July 1, 1994, the municipality belonged to the Weimarer Land district and was part of the Grammetal administrative community since November 4, 1994 .

As of December 31, 2019, due to the dissolution of the administrative community, all districts of the previously independent municipality were now localities of the newly founded rural municipality Grammetal . This followed a referendum in September 2018 in which, around three quarters of the residents of the district for an incorporation into the state capital of Erfurt , and thus for the formation of a rural community spoke out
