history

The first written mention of Mirsdorf is dated to the year 1074/1075. It was a royal palace owned by the Polish queen Richeza and which was included in the construction of the Saalfeld monastery . Over the centuries, the royal estate became a manor and several farms.

At the beginning of the 14th century, Mirsdorf was under the rule of the Henneberger . In 1353 the place with the Coburg Land came by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged. In 1837 the place had 67 inhabitants.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, three citizens of Mirsdorf voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and ten against. Thus, from July 1, 1920, Mirsdorf also belonged to the Free State of Bavaria . In 1925 the 365.47 hectare village had 90 inhabitants, 82 of whom belonged to the Protestant church, and 13 residential buildings. The school was in Ottowind, 1.6 kilometers away, and the Protestant church in Meeder, 4.2 kilometers away.

On July 1, 1975, Mirsdorf became a district of the municipality of Meeder.

In 1987 the village had 64 residents and 15 houses.
