After the conquest of most of Silesia by Prussia in 1741, the royal cabinet order of November 25, 1741 introduced the Prussian administrative structures in Lower Silesia . This included the establishment of two war and domain chambers in Breslau and Glogau as well as their subdivision into districts and the appointment of district administrators on January 1, 1742.

In the Principality of Schweidnitz , one of the Silesian sub-principalities, the four Prussian districts Bolkenhain-Landeshut, Reichenbach , Schweidnitz and Striegau were formed from old Silesian soft images . All four districts were subordinate to the Wroclaw War and Domain Chamber until they were assigned to the Reichenbach administrative district of the province of Silesia in the course of the Stein-Hardenberg reforms in 1815 .

The district of Bolkenhain-Landeshut was split up by the government in Reichenbach on January 1, 1818, into the two districts of Bolkenhain and Landeshut, which corresponded to the old Silesian Weichbildern Bolkenhain and Landeshut. After the government district Reichenbach was dissolved, the district Landeshut was assigned to the administrative district Liegnitz on May 1, 1820 .

Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and from January 1, 1871 to the German Empire . On November 8, 1919, the province of Silesia was dissolved. The new province of Lower Silesia was formed from the administrative districts of Breslau and Liegnitz . On September 30, 1929, all manor districts in the Landeshut district were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities in accordance with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia .

On October 1, 1932, the rural communities of Ketschdorf and Seitendorf were reclassified from the Goldberg-Haynau district and the rural communities Röhrsdorf (Riesengebirge) and Rothenzechau from the Hirschberg district to the Landeshut district. At the same time, all communities of the dissolved Bolkenhain district came to the Landeshut district, but on October 1, 1933, these were returned to the Jauer district together with Ketschdorf and Seitendorf .

On April 1, 1934, the rural communities Gaablau , Liebersdorf and Rothenbach in Silesia came from the district of Landeshut to the district of Waldenburg (Schles) . On April 1, 1936 the communities Merzdorf (Riesengebirge), Rudelstadt and Ruhbank were reclassified from the Jauer district to the Landeshut district. In the following years - according to the name of the district town - the name Landeshut i. Schles. common. On April 1, 1938, the Prussian provinces of Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia were merged to form the new Province of Silesia. On January 1, 1939, the district Landeshut i. Schles. according to the now imperial regulation the designation district . On January 18, 1941, the province of Silesia was dissolved and the new province of Lower Silesia was formed from the administrative districts of Breslau and Liegnitz.

In the spring of 1945 the district was occupied by the Red Army . In the summer of 1945, the district was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . The influx of Polish civilians began in the district area, some of whom came from the areas east of the Curzon Line that fell to the Soviet Union .
