Radensdorf had a windmill , a sheep farm and a manor . The village was parish after Greifenhain . In 1867 Radensdorf had 218 residents in 23 residential buildings, and there was also a brickworks in addition to the windmill and the sheep farm . Until the end of the 19th century, Radensdorf also had a high Sorbian-speaking population. For his statistics on the Lusatian Sorbs, Arnošt Muka counted a population of 173, 116 of which were Sorbs (67%) and 57 were Germans. After that, however, the proportion fell sharply, and the place no longer appears in Ernst Tschernik's statistics from 1956.

At the Congress of Vienna in 1815, after the defeat of the Kingdom of Saxony, it was decided to assign territories to the Kingdom of Prussia , which also affected Radensdorf. After that, the municipality was in the district of Calau in the administrative district of Frankfurt in the province of Brandenburg . After the end of the Second World War Radensdorf became part of the Soviet occupation zone and later the GDR . During the district reform on July 25, 1952, the community came to the Cottbus-Land district in the Cottbus district . On January 1, 1974 Radensdorf was incorporated into the neighboring Greifenhain. After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the Cottbus-Land district was renamed the Cottbus district . In the course of the Brandenburg district reform in 1993 , the community of Greifenhain with the district of Radensdorf came to the newly founded district of Spree-Neisse and was administered there by the Drebkau (Niederlausitz) office. On December 31, 2001, Greifenhain and Radensdorf were incorporated into the city of Drebkau and the Drebkau (Niederlausitz) office was dissolved.
