History The settlement emerged in 13th century and belonged to Waldsassen Abbey, which colonized the area. The German name of Markhausen derives from its position at a border (or, demarcation; German Mark (border); Hausen from German Haus(house), i.e. from the fact that there are houses at a border).

In 1608, Markhausen was founded again and is mentioned in a 1715 map of the Elbogen District by the minister cartographer Adam Friedrich Zürner. Back then, the settlement belonged to neighbouring Krásná. The inhabitants' economy based mainly upon forgecraft, the production of wood charcoal and mining. In 1610, Markhausen became a Katastralgemeinde. In 1847, 302 people lived there in 32 houses, then living mainly from agriculture and lace production. In 1930, Markhausen was an industrial community of 1252 inhabitants
