In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is first mentioned as Wirzbno theutonicum . The place name Wirbin has been handed down for the year 1373 . In 1434 a castle was first mentioned in Würben.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Würben with most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In the 1770s in the Thiergarten district, which belongs to Würben, a farm was created.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Würben belonged to the district of Neisse in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a castle, a forester's house, a Vorwerk and 38 other houses in the village. In the same year, 258 people lived in Würben, all of them Catholic. In 1855, 299 people lived in Würben. In 1865 there was a watermill, seven farmers, 11 gardeners and 12 cottagers. The residents of Kalkau were trained and parish. In 1874 the Kalkau district was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Baucke, Brünschwitz, Kalkau, Peterwitz, Schwandorf and Würben and the manor districts of Baucke, Kalkau, Peterwitz, Schwandorf and Würben. In 1885 Würben had 280 inhabitants.

In 1933 362 people lived in Würben and 379 in 1939. Until the end of the war in 1945 the place belonged to the Neisse district .

As a result of the Second World War, in 1945, like most of Silesia , Würben fell under Polish administration. It was subsequently renamed Wierzbno and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski . In 2007 365 people lived in the village.
