In terms of the corridor shape, Tanna is round , which probably points to a Sorbian foundation. Tanna is one of the few places in the Altenburger Land that historically did not belong to Saxony-Altenburg . As with the neighboring towns of Wernsdorf and Naundorf, the manor was initially at the Kayna manor , which is why it was also known as the Kayna village . Later, the manor was at the manor Kleinbraunshain , whose five associated towns formed an exclave until 1815 , which belonged to the Borna district of Saxony .

As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the exclave of the five Kaynaic villages came to Prussia in 1815 . It went on in 1816 in the newly formed district of Zeitz in the administrative district of Merseburg in the province of Saxony .

On October 1, 1938, Tanna was incorporated into Wernsdorf . With this Tanna came to Naundorf on July 1, 1950 .
