From 1552 the council of Leipzig exercised the basic rule over the Vorwerk Pfaffendorf, which had existed since the Middle Ages . The associated village no longer existed in 1333. Pfaffendorf belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon District Office in Leipzig .

During the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, a military was in the large three-wing building construction, which stood to the north next to the actual Vorwerk Pfaffendorf, hospital furnishings. The French authorities entrusted the management of the hospital to the doctor Carl Gustav Carus . During the fighting, the Vorwerk caught fire. After the reconstruction, the hospital building was rented to the merchant Köhler on December 23, 1818 and then to the Reichenbach & Co. company on January 25, 1821 . On April 2, 1823, Ferdinand Hartmann rented the building next to the Pleiße. The hospital building from 1780 was demolished in 1907. On November 27, 1829, Hartmann's father-in-law bought the property on behalf of his two sons for 12,500 thalers from the city council. Hartmann expanded the buildings into a worsted spinning mill in Leipzig .

The Ratsgut Pfaffendorfer Hof belonged to the Vorwerk , which had been in the possession of the Thomaskloster since 1213 and which was brought to Leipzig with its district in 1862. Between 1860 and 1870 the Leipzig butchers used the building to store the cattle before they were slaughtered. That is why the name Fettviehhof became established . In 1873 the innkeeper Ernst Pinkert took over the restaurant Zum Pfaffendorfer Hof . On June 9, 1878, he opened his Pfaffendorf zoo on the meadow behind it , from which the Leipzig zoological garden emerged. The old Pfaffendorfer Hof was demolished in 1898, and the zoo's society house, today's congress hall, opened in its place on September 29, 1900 .

In 1866 the street leading past Pfaffendorfer Hof was named Pfaffendorfer Straße . From 1951 to 1991 Pfaffendorfer Strasse was called Dr.-Kurt-Fischer- Strasse .
