Either [[Henry the Bearded]] or [[Władysław Odonic]] granted the village to the [[Knights Templar]] by 1232. The village was first mentioned in 1261 as ''Torbarmstorp'' as their possession. It was annexed by the [[Margraviate of Brandenburg]], and included within the [[New March]]. By 1335 it was known as ''Tzorbensdorf''. From 1373, it formed part of the [[Bohemian Crown|Bohemian (Czech) Crown Lands]], ruled by the [[Luxembourg dynasty]].
