Until the Thirty Years War the village was on a flat sand ridge near the Malxe. As a result of the constant risk of flooding, the current village was then laid out about 500 m northeast of the previous location. The former location was used for arable farming. Drehnow belonged to the Peitz office until 1832 and to the Cottbus office from 1832 to 1874.
