Historically, Wittmannsdorf belonged to the Lower Lusatia margravate and was thus part of the countries of the Bohemian Crown . The lordship over the place lay with the city council of Luckau. In 1635 Wittmannsdorf came to the Electorate of Saxony as part of Lower Lusatia as a result of the Peace of Prague . The Schmettausche map series from 1767/87 lists the place as Wittmansdorff .
