Pottery was first mentioned in a document in 1333.

The origin of the place name is not clearly established. On the one hand, the name can be derived from "double", as two streams converge in the village, the Erl- u. the Saarbach. On the other hand, the name can also be derived from "Topolina", which comes from Sorbian and means poplar in German.

In the Middle Ages there was a tower hill castle in the area of ​​the property . The last structure is said to have been demolished in the 20th century. It was called the bower. A pond and moats are still remnants of the castle complex.

The collapsed bridge structure and the embankment that had been washed away were completely renewed by June 1983.
