history

The place was first mentioned in 1181–1214. The noble family von Wolffersdorff was the landlord of the place from 1240 to 1831 and took the name from him.

Wolfersdorf belonged to the Electorate of Saxony ( Amt Weida in Neustädter Kreis ) until 1815 . Through the Congress of Vienna , the Neustädter Kreis with Wolfersdorf was ceded to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach , within which the place was assigned to the Neustadt / Orla administrative district in 1850 . With the end of the First World War in 1918 and the subsequent establishment of the Weimar Republic, the place came under the jurisdiction of the Free State of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, which was founded in the same year . On May 1, 1920, the state of Thuringia was founded, to which Wolfersdorf was affiliated within the Greiz district (since 1922). In the course of the administrative reform in the GDR in 1952, with which countries such as Thuringia were dissolved, the place became part of one of the 15 newly founded government and administrative districts: the district of Gera . It remained in the Greiz district . In lockstep with German reunification on October 3, 1990, Thuringia was re-established as a Free State to which the village has belonged again since then. On March 8, 1994 it was incorporated into Berga / Elster.
