The first documentary mention dates back to 1501 as the nyder hamer schmit . The oldest documents about mining in Niederschmiedeberg date from 1563, in 1655 iron ore was verifiably mined here . As early as 1540 , two Schmidewergk are mentioned in the church visit protocol of Arnsfeld, to which Niederschmiedeberg has been parish since 1539 , which means Ober- and Niederschmiedeberg.

In 1545 the brothers Dionis and Gall Forwerger received the hammer mill niderhammer or Schmidtwergk zu Lehn. Before that, her father Hans Forwerger was the owner. In the second half of the 16th century the facilities belonged to Andreas Siegel, who died in 1592, and then to Melchior Siegel. In 1661 the Siegel family sold the hammer, which had now become desolate, to Kaspar von Berbisdorf , Lord of Rückerswalde and Kühnhaide , who rebuilt the hammer mill. He was followed by his son Kaspar Siegismund von Berbisdorf senior, who later also acquired and successfully operated the Neunzehnhain , Schmalzgrube , Mittel- and Oberschmiedeberg plants. His son Kaspar Siegismund von Berbisdorf jun. however, went bankrupt due to his dissolute lifestyle in 1739, after which his wife briefly ran the business.

The property was eventually auctioned. In 1744, Count Friedrich Ludwig zu Solms-Wildenfels and Tecklenburg acquired the Rückerswalde manor, the Niedermiedeberg and Kühnhaide works and the associated villages. Johann Christoph Leibold was the tenant of the hammer works. While pig iron was produced in Kühnhaide, the facilities for sheet metal production were located in Niederschmiedeberg. In 1814 two tin fires and a tin house are mentioned for Niederschmiedeberg.

After the Kühnhaide-Niederschmiedeberg hammer mill stood still in 1815, the chief forest and game master Johann Georg Friedrich Adolph von Zeng took over the facilities from the Counts of Solms in 1818. Albert Schiffner mentions the hammer mill in his “Description of Saxony” in 1845 as belonging to Kühnhaide, but it is assumed that operations came to a standstill between 1820 and 1830.

Ernst Wilhelm Richter describes the place in his "Description of the Kingdom of Saxony" in 1852 as follows:

“Niedermiedeberg, 186 inhabitants, who only have their 32 houses and small fields in lease against a significant interest to the rule of Großrückerswalde and who mostly deal with woodwork; there are 1 grinding, 1 oil and 2 board mills; but the school is also in the poor house to be maintained by the rulers. "

In 1844 a cutting mill was built. Niedermiedeberg belonged to the office of Wolkenstein until 1856 . Around 1885 the industrialization of the place began, the grinding and cutting mill was converted into a paper mill and two more paper mills were built.

With the construction of the narrow-gauge railway Wolkenstein – Jöhstadt in 1892 Niederschmiedeberg received a railway connection with the stop of the same name, and in 1905 it was upgraded to a station.

In 1897 the cemetery and a prayer room were inaugurated. In 1903 a post office was set up and in 1907 a new school building was completed by the architect Ernst Kühn . Electric street lighting was put into operation as early as 1913 and the first private telephone connections were laid in 1924.

The town hall was built in 1927. In 1935, an outdoor pool was set up in a former process water basin of the paper mill. This paper mill was dismantled in 1946 as a reparation payment . In 1955, the “ VEB DKK Scharfenstein ” set up a branch for the final assembly of refrigerators. This work determined the local economy until the political change in 1990.

With the cessation of traffic on the section Niederschmiedeberg - Jöhstadt on January 13, 1984, the station became the upper end of the line. The freight traffic for the branch of the VEB DDK Scharfenstein on the remainder was maintained until November 20, 1986, because the necessary conditions for the final change of mode of transport had to be created. Until 1989, the track systems were dismantled in stages.

On January 1, 1994, Niederschmiedeberg was incorporated into Großrückerswalde.

In August 2006 the “Preßnitztalmuseum” was opened in the building of a former cardboard factory in the center of the village, which deals with the economic and cultural history of the Preßnitztal region.
