In 1140, Oberhermsdorf is said to have been mentioned for the first time as Hermanni villa in a document from Pope Innocent II , but this is controversial. On the other hand, Herrmannus de Worganewiz, first mentioned in 1206 on behalf of Meißner Bishop Bruno II von Porstendorf, is named as the founder and namesake in 1190 . Known as Hermansdorf in 1315 , Oberhermsdorf was called Hermerstorf in 1445 and 1447 . In 1547 the place was called Oberhermsdorff . The village was laid out as a square village.

In the 19th century, hard coal was mined in the Oberhermsdorf area .
