history

The settlement was mentioned as early as 1228 as the Vorwerk of the "Lords of Landskron", but it was not mentioned in a document until 1404 as the Slavic settlement of Kunrewitz . The so-called “ Rittergut an der Landeskrone” was located in the middle of the settlement.

Redeemer Church Kunnerwitz

The foundation as a parish took place with the building of the church in 1836. By 1839 a rectory and a school were also built. The village expanded structurally to the southwest.

In the middle of the 19th century, Kunnerwitz had around 40 inhabitants, including the miller Johann Christoph Tzschanter. He was the first owner of the post mill, built in 1806 at the south-western end of the village. During the war, from 1942, there was an external command of the Groß-Rosen concentration camp in Kunnerwitz , in which 25 prisoners had to work in agriculture. In 1947, the Görlitz criminal police found three corpses of former prisoners in an old sand pit (on Sandweg). In the post-war years, a few more homes and driveways were built.

After Deutsch-Ossig was resettled in the 1980s, the population of the place continued to grow.

Kunnerwitz became a "residential village". On January 1, 1999, Kunnerwitz was incorporated into Görlitz.
