A very old transport route led through the village, as the name of the main street (Alte Poststraße) suggests.
Until the end of the 18th century Monzelfeld belonged to the Electoral Trier office of Bernkastel . After the annexation of the Left Bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops (1794), the place belonged from 1798 to 1814 to the canton Bernkastel , which was part of the arrondissement of Trier in the Saardepartement . After substantial parts of the Rhineland were assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , Monzelfeld belonged to the Bernkastel mayor's office from 1816 onwards .
Since 1946 the place has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
