Hennersdorf belonged to the historic Upper Lusatia region, a Bohemian crown land, and was a possession of the Magdalene Abbey at Lauban (Lubań). It remained Catholic, when the region turned Protestant in the early 16th century and even after the Lusatias passed to Saxony by the 1635 Peace of Prague. In 1745, the village was the site of the Battle of Hennersdorf between the Prussian Army under General Hans Joachim von Zieten and a Saxon contingent in the War of the Austrian Succession. Upon the implementation of the Oder-Neisse line in 1945, the region became part of the Republic of Poland in 1945.
