Dohnafelde was founded as a forest colony in 1830 . Until 1945 Dohnafelde formed a rural community in the district of Belgard (Persante) and belonged with this to the Prussian province of Pomerania . The residential areas Klanzig am See and Waiting border also belonged to the rural community of Dohnafelde .

The fishing in Klanziger See was very important at the time. The lake belonged to the manor owner Moritz von Oppenfeld in Reinfeld ( Bierzwnica ). The fields and meadows offered a vivid, hilly landscape, but were very difficult to work on. The Dohnafelder Moor only supplied peat for its own use.

In 1834 there were 300 inhabitants in Dohnafelde, in 1861 there were 343, in 1939 only 243.

Until 1945 Dohnafelde belonged to the district of Klanzig , the registry office district of Klanzig and the district court district of Schivelbein. The last German mayor was Hermann Uecker.

While the church patronage for Reinfeld was exercised by the manor owner von Oppenfeld, Dohnafelde was free of patronage. The last German pastor was Friedrich Gehrmann.
