The round village of Meusen, built on the edge of the Slavic small house Rochlitz, was named Mosin in 1300 . The German meaning of the Slavic place name is probably fly or mouse . Ecclesiastically, the place has always been parish to Wechselburg.

Although Meusen, as an official village, belonged to the electoral or royal Saxon office of Rochlitz until 1856 , it had certain obligations towards the Schönburg rulership of Wechselburg , as it had been owned by the Zschillen monastery since 1380 , which was secularized in 1543 and to the lords of Schönburg came. Meusen had the inheritance right to build the footbridges leading to the Zwickauer Mulde. The rule of Wechselburg was also entitled to inheritance jurisdiction over the place. The offices were dissolved during the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Saxony in the 19th century . As a result, Meusen came under the administration of the Rochlitz court office in 1856 and in 1875 under the newly established Rochlitz administration . In addition to fruit growing, beekeeping has a long tradition in the village. A stocking knitting factory existed in Meusen until 1925. Between 1905 and 1995 a wind turbine was in operation on the outskirts, which pumped spring water from artesian wells into higher-lying farms. Today it is a technical monument.

Meusen was incorporated into Nöbeln on July 1, 1950 . By the second district reform in the GDR in 1952 the community was Nöbeln with its districts the county Rochlitz in the district of Chemnitz (in 1953 the district Karl-Marx-Stadt renamed) attached, the 1990 Saxon Rochlitz district was continued and 1994 in Mittweida or Rose in 2008 in the district of central Saxony. On January 1, 1994, Nöbeln and its four districts were incorporated into Wechselburg, making Meusen a district of Wechselburg ever since.
