From 1384 the church in Königswerth formed its own parish. In the Elbogen land register from 1522, the place is shown as one of the estates of the Schlicken on Falkenau . In 1596 a parish school was established. The Koenigswerth coal deposit was known since the 17th century. A large coal fire broke out during the Thirty Years' War .
In 1845 the place consisted of 37 houses and had 254 inhabitants. The Rapsak iron ore mine existed south of Grasset. After the abolition of patrimonial Königswerth formed a community in the Falkenau district from 1850 . Königswerth was a rural village until the 1870s. An intensive coal mining then began.
