Markersdorf was created as a forest hoof village on both sides of the village stream flowing to Chemnitz. The well-known first mention of the place took place in 1489 as Marckerstorff . A watermill on the Chemnitz River, now known as the Old Mill , was mentioned in 1528. Markersdorf originally belonged to the property of the Zschillen monastery , which in 1543 came with the entire property to Duke Moritz of Saxony . He immediately secularized it and exchanged it for the Lords of Schönburg for the towns of Hohnstein , Wehlen and Lohmen in what is now Saxon Switzerland . Therefore, the name Wechselburg came up for the place and the monastery complex . Since then, Markersdorf has been run as an official village of the Schönburg lordship of Wechselburg , which belonged to the Lords of Schönburg under Wettin suzerainty. Markersdorf has always belonged to Claußnitz in terms of church. As part of the administrative reorganization of the Kingdom of Saxony, Markersdorf was subordinated to the administration of the royal Saxon office of Rochlitz as part of the Schönburg feudal lordship of Wechselburg in 1835 . In 1856 Markersdorf came to the Burgstädt court office and in 1875 to the newly established Rochlitz District Administration (since 1939: district ).
A Burgstädter factory owners bought the site of the 1557 mentioned "Mings mill" in 1831 and built on a wool mill. This was in 1865 acquired by GF Big and converted into a machine shop for the special machines of the growing textile industry, were later in the Groma (= Gro sser Ma typewriters manufactured same rkersdorf). Großer was one of the initiators of the construction of the road through the Chemnitz Valley, which was opened in 1880. As early as around 1840, today's main road was built as a direct connection between Mittweida and Burgstädt. In 1882 the Markersdorf volunteer fire brigade was founded. Before a school was built in Markersdorf in 1872, the local children went to school in Claussnitz. In the course of further industrialization along the Chemnitz valley, calls for a railway line were loud. The Saxon Parliament approved 1896 branch line, which in Wechselburg of -Wurzen Glauchau railway line branch off, run through the Chemnitztal and should thread in Chemnitz in the local network. As a result of the severe flooding in 1897, the route was rescheduled, so that the start of construction was delayed until March 1900. Finally, the Chemnitz Valley Railway was able to open at the end of June 1902. The Markersdorf-Taura train station was located in the middle at kilometer 11.75. Before and after the First World War , the workers' settlement "Kolonie Markersdorf" was built in the Chemnitz valley, which is now known as the "Chemnitz valley settlement ".
As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Markersdorf came to the newly formed Rochlitz district on July 25, 1952 , but was only a few months later on December 4 of the same year to the Chemnitz-Land district in the Chemnitz district (1953 in the Karl-Marx-Stadt- Land and district of Karl-Marx-Stadt renamed). Since 1960 the Markersdorf students from the 8th grade onwards went to school in Claussnitz. In 1980 the Markersdorfer Schule was completely closed. The building has been used as a consumer shop since 1982 .
Since 1990 Markersdorf has belonged to the Saxon district of Chemnitz . On March 1, 1994, the communities Diethensdorf and Markersdorf merged with Claußnitz . As a result of the Saxon district reform , this community came to the newly formed Mittweida district in August of the same year and, following another district reform, to today's Central Saxony district in 2008 .
The buildings of the 1992 “GROMA” factory were completely demolished between 1998 and 2014. Today a memorial stone commemorates them. On the Chemnitz Valley Railway, passenger traffic was discontinued in 1998 and freight traffic in 1999, and the line was closed in 2002. The Markersdorf-Taura station has been redesigned as a museum station. In contrast to the rest of the route north of Chemnitz, which was redesigned as a cycle path, the tracks were retained as a museum railway up to the Schweizerthal-Diethensdorf stop about two kilometers away with the Amselgrund and Neuschweizerthal stations. To the vehicle park of the Eisenbahnfreunde Chemnitztal e. V. belongs Besides diesel engines V 10 B and V 22 , a two-way TRACTOR.ADVANTAGE RS 09 / GT 124 . In addition to the route, the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path was built in 2019 .

In 1551 there were 36 possessed men (farmers) and 64 residents in Markersdorf . Around 210 years later, after the Seven Years' War there were still 26 possessed men and 22 cottagers .
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the population increased enormously. While there were still 385 inhabitants in 1834, 90 years later there were almost five times as many. After that, the number stagnated, rising to over 2,000 as a result of refugees and displaced persons after the Second World War. Within 20 years this number fell again by around 20%, so that in 1964 the population of 1781 was already below the pre-war level. The general population decline in the GDR and in particular in rural areas hit Markersdorf particularly hard, so that the place lost more than 500 inhabitants within 25 years. At the end of 1990, Markersdorf had a population of 59% of the year 1946.
In the 2011 census , around 1000 inhabitants were still determined.
