Friedersdorf was founded in the 13th century. It initially belonged to the Duchy of Schweidnitz-Jauer and came under the rule of Tzschocha in 1427 after it was acquired by the Imperial Councilor Hartung von Klüx . Although it was the Queis right, straddling the border between Silesia and Lusatia formed, it now became the rule oberlausitz Queiskreis expected, since 1544 also officially. When it was sold to Johann Ernst von Warnsdorf in 1651, it was released from the Tzschocha rule, but not from the Queiskreis, which had belonged to the Evangelical Electorate of Saxony since 1635 . Like the other places in the Queiskreis, Friedersdorf also attracted religious refugees from Bohemia and Silesia. The church “Zum Jesusbrunnen”, built by Johann Ernst von Warnsdorf in 1654–1656, served as a border church for Protestant believers from Greiffenberg and the surrounding area . Before 1660, the landlord built the Neu Warnsdorf settlement for the exiles . In 1682 Friedersdorf acquired Hans Christoph von Schweinitz , who had the Neu Schweinitz refugee settlement built on the Friedersdorf district . The exiles lived mainly from the linen production. In 1702 Moritz Christian von Schweinitz built the Baroque Friedersdorf Palace on the site of a previous building.

After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Friedersdorf fell to Prussia together with East Oberlausitz . The area was now the province of Silesia connected and the district Luban in the district Liegnitz incorporated. The Friedersdorf district had existed since 1874, and in 1908 it consisted of the rural communities Friedersdorf, Steinbach, Vogelsdorf and the manor districts Friedersdorf and Vogelsdorf.

As early as 1862 Friedersdorf was acquired by Alexander von Minutoli , who was followed in 1887 by his son-in-law, the Africa explorer Joachim von Pfeil and Klein Ellguth , with whose descendants Friedersdorf remained until 1945.

As a result of the Second World War, Friedersdorf fell to Poland and was renamed Biedrzychowice . The German population was expelled. Some of the newly settled residents were evacuated from eastern Poland . 1945–1954 Biedrzychowice was the seat of an independent rural community. 1975-1998 it belonged to the Jelenia Góra Voivodeship .
