The inhabitants of the place lived from agriculture. In 1789 the manorial court was parceled out and the village of Theresienthal was laid out on its corridors. Since the beginning of the 19th century, a hammer mill as well as a saw, oil and grinding mill have been built in the place. In 1834 Petersdorf consisted of 149 houses and had 1131 inhabitants. On the site of the hammer mill, a large factory for agricultural machines was built in 1839 by the Zöptauer Eisenwerke Gebr. Klein.

The Petersdorf - Winkelsdorf local railway, inaugurated in 1904, opened up the upper Tesstal valley. On July 26, 1904, the Church of St. Maria Magdalena burned down to the foundation walls after a lightning strike.
