The area around Kunersdorf was already settled in the Neolithic Age. From the 6th century BC Several urn graves are located north of the village. The present village was probably founded as a German settlement in the 13th century. The first written mention as Kunradestorp was in the year 1340. At that time the village belonged to Henry II of Barfus . In the Middle Ages belonged Good on the field Mark the place for the possession of the Cistercian nuns - monastery Friedland . In 1653 the village became the property of the von Götze family, in 1702 the von Barfuß family bought the village back. In 1748 the estate was sold to the Margravial Councilor Carl Philipp Mentzel. In 1765, Mentzel sold the estate to Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz .
Von Lestwitz expanded the village. The Dorfkrug was built in 1767 and the village school in 1768. In the period from 1769 to 1777 the property was rebuilt, so from 1771 to 1773 the “castle” was built. It was a three-story house with a mansard hipped roof . In 1781 the dilapidated church was torn down and a new church built in the early classicist style.
Kunersdorf became known through Helene Charlotte von Friedland , who took over the management of the estate after the death of her father Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz in 1788. Helene Charlotte von Friedland made Kunersdorf the focus of social life in the region with a discussion group. In 1790 she had the hereditary funeral of the von Lestwitz-Itzenplitz family built. In the summer of 1813, the natural scientist and poet Adelbert von Chamisso lived on the estate of his family friends and wrote his work " Peter Schlemihl's miraculous story " there. Today the Chamisso Museum reminds of that time with many exhibits.
