The name is derived from the town of Borna in Saxony, Germany, which suffered an epidemic of the disease in horses in 1885.
The Borna disease was first described in 1885 as "heated head disease" of cavalry horses in 1885 in the town of Borna, Germany.

In 1990, Janice E. Clements and colleagues reported in the journal Science that antibodies to a protein encoded by the Borna virus genome are found in the blood of patients with behavioral disorders.
Ultimately, it was decided for reasons of cost to take the route from Borna via Geithain and Burgstädt to Chemnitz.
The theatre was operated in cooperation with those at Borna and Kamenz; in 1938–39, the theatre troupe from the open-air theatre at Ehrenfriedersdorf also played there.
