Warriors used to be the seat of power, but the castle was destroyed in the 14th century. Subsequently, the settlement came into the possession of the Liebsteinsky von Kolowrat . In 1653, warriors were granted market rights, brewing rights and their own jurisdiction.

The first parish church already existed in 1384. During the Hussite Wars , the last Catholic clergyman left the city, which was looked after by Protestant clergy until 1664. It was not until 1664 that the pastoral care was re-occupied with a Catholic clergyman. The Church of the Birth of the Virgin Mary was built in 1722 in the Baroque style. According to the church register, the parish of Kriegern includes the parish: Kriegern, Rebitschka-Mühle; temporarily: Golleschau, Kleintschernitz, Neue Mühle, Oberklee, Pschesnitz, Strojeditz, Tschentschitz, Wiessen. Several disasters struck the city. Parts of the city were cremated by major fires in 1664, 1791 and 1820. The floods of 1762, 1779, 1789, 1795, 1852 and 1855 also caused major damage.
