During archaeological excavations, medieval ceramic remains were found in the place , which indicate an early settlement. Pfaffendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1418.

The place Kunersdorf was spun off from Pfaffendorf in 1945 and belonged to the municipality again since July 1, 1950. In 1965, workers found around 2,000 silver coins from the 13th and 14th centuries in a trench in Lamitsch. In 2001 the place was incorporated into Rietz-Neuendorf.
