Dürrhennersdorf was placed under the High Court of Löbau in 1306, like most of the villages in the area, at that time it was written as Heinrickesdorpp, which indicates a locator Heinrich. This year is also considered the first written mention of the place. In 1631 during the Thirty Years' War Dürrhennersdorf was sacked.

In the spring of 1940, the Polish couple Anton and Josefa Mielniczuk came to the local manor as slave labor . Her son Kazimierz was raised by the German midwife Gertrud Landgraf - contrary to the NS instructions on the treatment of "foreigners" - and thus she saved his life.

At the end of the Second World War, after the railway viaduct and the small railway bridge were blown up, Dürrhennersdorf was forcibly the temporary terminus for numerous displaced persons and refugees from the Sudetenland and Silesia. Some stayed here forever.
