In 1271 it received city rights under Saxon law and belonged to the province of the Spiš Saxons. In 1412 it was pledged to Poland with 11 other Spiš cities and remained there until 1772. In addition to agriculture, distillery and linen processing were important, while guilds were hardly developed.
Until 1918 Durlsdorf in Zips County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia . The resident German population was evacuated or driven out in 1945 and replaced by Slovaks from neighboring towns.
