In 1406 the town was first mentioned in the town register of Görlitz as Reinherstorf (= village of a Reinher). The history of the place is much older. In 1790, when reclaiming the Eichler, two round stones that fit into each other and were perforated in the middle were found on the south side of the Eichler, which were excavated and apparently were sacrificial tables. Finds of shards from 1972 on the Heideberg near an early medieval tower hill castle prove an early settlement of the Pließnitz valley.
The history of Rennersdorf is significantly shaped by the development of two manorial estates. This can already be proven in 1480. In 1518 the Rennersdorf church had its own district. It was consecrated to Saint Catherine.
In 1661 the entire place was divided into the municipal associations of Oberrennersdorf and Niederrennersdorf. It was not until 1937 that both districts were reunited to form the municipality of Rennersdorf / OL.
From 1893 to 1945 the town was connected to the regular railway network by the Herrnhut – Bernstadt narrow-gauge railway. The line was dismantled as a reparation payment after the Second World War. Today there are only a few buildings left in the village with traditional framework or half-timbering. The four mills should also be mentioned, the best known and still in operation being the Rittermühle am Eichler.
In the spring of 1945, the old Niederrennersdorf Castle , whose origins stretched back into the 14th century, fell victim to an arson attack. The manor with 131 hectares was expropriated by the land reform and distributed to settlers.
The Oberrennersdorf castle and estate was sold to the Wehrmacht in 1937 and used towards the end of the war to accommodate over 1000 prisoners from the Görlitz satellite camp, twelve of whom died. A memorial stone from 1950 commemorates the eleven victims buried in the Rennersdorf cemetery. The twelfth dead person was probably buried in the Jewish cemetery in Görlitz.
Today there are full-time family businesses, a horticultural business and service providers in town. The Euroimmun company also has a branch in the town.
