On December 1, 1871, the Falkenberg – Cottbus line of the Halle – Sorau – Gubener Railway was opened. The place was mainly characterized by lignite mining, which arose in the region at the end of the 19th century. The Hansa mine opened in 1901 , and in 1926 and 1927 it was one of the first opencast mines in the world to receive a conveyor bridge , which was only developed by Friedrich von Delius in Plessa in the early 1920s and built in 1924. The associated briquette factory was started up at Pentecost 1952. In 1961 the mine finally closed. The construction of agricultural machinery in the area achieved new economic importance .

The lignite works, a predecessor of VEB Landmaschinenbau, was built around 1902 and after the owner's bankruptcy, like the Meuro lignite works in the Senftenberger Revier, was acquired by the Werhahn family of industrialists from the Rhineland. From 1924 Wilhelm Cornelius Werhahn , a descendant of Wilhelm Werhahn , acted as operations manager for both companies .

Until 1945 Tröbitz belonged to the district of Luckau in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , from 1952 to 1990 to the district of Finsterwalde in the GDR district of Cottbus (1990–1993 in the state of Brandenburg ).

Since July 21, 1992, the place has belonged to the Elsterland office , which has been part of the Elbe-Elster district since 1993.

Tröbitz gained fame through a death transport from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp known as the Lost Train . The train was the last of three that were assembled in Bergen-Belsen with 2500 prisoners each as British troops approached the camp. The destination should be the Theresienstadt concentration camp . On 20 or 21 April, 1945, the train rolled towards Falkenberg / Elster , stopping in front of the destroyed Elster bridge at kilometer 101.6 are. On April 22, 1945, 16 dead were buried there in a collective grave, and the train was brought to kilometer 106.7 at the request of the Wehrmacht . The train was found there by the Red Army on April 23, 1945 , 28 dead were buried on the spot and the train with around 2,000 Jewish men, women and children was brought to Tröbitz, which had around 700 inhabitants at the time. Many of the survivors were starved and contracted typhus . A makeshift hospital was set up in Tröbitz, where the sick were treated by Jewish doctors - former prisoners - under the direction of Soviet doctors. Local girls and women were employed as caregivers. A typhus epidemic killed more than 320 people in Tröbitz in the weeks that followed, including 26 villagers.
