Zöthen belonged to the Wettin office of Camburg , which was under the sovereignty of various Ernestine duchies due to several divisions in the course of its existence . In 1826, the place came as part of the Camburg exclave from the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg to the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen . From 1922 to 1939 the place belonged to the Camburg district department .

On April 1, 1999, Zöthen was incorporated into the city of Camburg.

Zöthen became known not only for producing agricultural products, but also for breeding horses .
Before the Second World War , the owners bred the Thuringian draft horse . After the Second World War, the manor became a public estate after the decisions of the victorious powers, which then became the main stud of Thuringia for warmblood breeding . Apprenticeship training was also an industry.
After the fall of the Wall, the estate was returned to the descendants of the former owner. The new owner specialized in boarding horses and a plant yard as well as running a school camp .
