The place was right on the border with the Free State of Saxony in the Kirnitzschtal at the point where an old trade route, the Böhmerstrasse, crosses the river.
In 1798 12,000 Prussian soldiers marched through the valley under the command of General von Möllendorf .
The permanent settlement arose at the beginning of the 19th century. Presumably there were already some seasonally used huts here by forest workers. A first inn was built around 1800. In 1833 there were four houses here. Further buildings were built in the second half of the 19th century in the course of the tourist development of Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland. Hinterdittersbach developed into a junction for hiking trails between the Upper Lock , Dittersbach ( Jetřichovice ), Hohenleipa ( Vysoká Lípa ), Rainwiese ( Mezní Louka ), and the armory . During the heyday there were four inns, two forest houses, a children's rest home and a farmhouse. The most famous building was the "Kirnitzschschänke".
A peculiarity was due to the fact that the Böhmerstrasse had formed the border between two rulers for centuries. Until the end, they were those of Princes Kinsky and Clary-Aldringen . As a result, the houses to the west of the path ("Kirnscht") belonged to Hohenleipa ( Vysoká Lípa ) and the buildings to the east ("Hinterdittersbach") belonged to Dittersbach (Jetřichovice).
In 1907 there was an attempt to operate a horse-drawn bus line from Schandau (today Bad Schandau ) here. There was also a telephone connection from Germany. However, the connection was installed on the German side in front of the Kirnitzsch Bridge. There is evidence of a telephone line from Mezní Louka (German: Rainwiese ) to Hinterdittersbach through the Malý kozí dùl (German: Small Ziegengrund ) for 1928 . This established the connection to Herrnskretschen ( Hřensko ) to the national telephone network.
On the day the Munich Agreement was signed , September 30, 1938, there was an armed conflict in Hinterdittersbach between members of a unit of the Czech Guard Battalion and the German SA and SS, with a Czech soldier being wounded.
After the Sudeten German residents had to leave the country in 1946, the houses fell into disrepair and were gradually demolished. In the 50s they were still used as a children's holiday camp. It is documented that some buildings still existed in 1956. The fence that otherwise existed on this border at that time did not exist here in this section due to the special topography of the area. Today only overgrown remnants of the basement and some chestnut trees tell of the former settlement. Another remaining relic is the base of a memorial cross that commemorates Hieronymus von Clary-Aldringen, who died in the Ukraine in 1941. This object is now in a different location. Since October 1993 the border bridge has been reopened as a crossing for tourists. Now the hiking trails cross here again.
In 1921 there were 17 residents in five houses and in 1950 there were only three residents in eight houses.
