Mertitz was probably first mentioned in 1013 as Miratinacethla . The place name Merticz , which is derived from the Old Sorbian name Merota, has been handed down for the year 1334 . Mereticz was handed down in 1360 . Another name variant comes from the year 1465, when Mertitzsch was mentioned. Mertitz is then documented as the common spelling of the place name for 1791 .

In the early modern period , Mertitz was administered from Meißen. In the 14th century, the place belonged to the Castrum of Meißen and was the seat of a supany to which 18 other villages belonged. In the middle of the 16th century Mertitz was then part of the Meissen estate. In 1843 Mertitz was administered by the Meißen office and from 1856 by the Lommatzsch court office. From 1875 the administration was then incumbent on the Meißen district administration . Before Mertitz was given independence as a rural community by the Saxon rural community order in 1838, the place was characterized by the feudal system . In 1551, the Hirschstein manor exercised the manorial rule over six possessed men and five residents who farmed 14 Hufen land. After the end of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) the manor was landlord for six possessed men and three cottagers on twelve hooves of 18 bushels each.

Mertitz kept an address book from 1890 on eleven entries, including bricklayers, a master blacksmith and several landowners. In 1900 extended to the farmers hamlet a 155 Mertitz hectares large block and strip-floor , which was used for agricultural purposes by the population of the village. From the middle of the 19th century, the population of the village was constant at just under 100 people, only at the end of the hectare there was a drop to only 69 people living in Mertitz (1890). However, in 1910 the population was 91 again. In 1925, 85 people lived in Mertitz, 84 of whom belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran parish in Leuben. The other person was Catholic . Already in the 16th century the place was parish in the Leuben church. Today Mertitz and the surrounding villages belong to the parish of Leuben-Ziegenhain-Planitz.

The village became known through the fork point of the narrow-gauge railway Wilsdruff-Gärtitz . It was opened on December 1, 1909 and closed on October 29, 1972. Today the building is privately owned and is being renovated. In May 1998 the Riesa – Nossen railway was also taken out of service. However, tank trucks continue to drive from Nossen to the MVD Rhäsa tank farm .

On November 1, 1935, the communal independence of Mertitz, which had been achieved in 1838, ended again, the place was incorporated into the neighboring town of Wahnitz. On the same date, Mettelwitz also became part of Wahnitz. Together, these places came after the Second World War in the Soviet zone of occupation and later the GDR . The historically grown affiliation to Meißen was retained even after the territorial reform in 1952 , which Wahnitz assigned with its districts to the Meißen district in the Dresden district. Rural life in Mertitz was now based on the principle of agriculture in the GDR . On May 1, 1974, the Wahnitz community and its districts were incorporated into Leuben .

After the German reunification , Mertitz came to the re-established Free State of Saxony. Since the municipality of Leuben with its almost 1100 inhabitants was too small to remain independent, it merged with Schleinitz and its districts to Leuben-Schleinitz with effect from January 1, 1993 . The following regional reforms located in Saxony leuben-schleinitz 1996 the district Meissen-Radebeul and 2008 the district Meissen to. With the incorporation of Leuben-Schleinitz into the city of Nossen on January 1, 2014, Mertitz became a district of this city.
