It belonged to the District Wünschelburg in the Glatzerland, which was a sub-country of the Crown Bohemia .

• The Freirichtergut owned Peter Trautmann in 1408. The following owners included the families of Alt, Sauern and Ullersdorf . Johann Georg von Ullersdorf sold it to Franz Anton von Haugwitz in 1738 on Pischkowitz . From this time it was called the Haugwitz part.
• The Dominial portion belonged to the Titzko of Pannwitz in 1348, which was among other things also in the possession of the neighboring rule Hummel . From 1454 to 1625 it belonged to the nobility of the nobility Doing . In 1628, this share was converted from a fief to an inheritance belonging to the owners of the castle court in Niedersteine, most recently the Earl of Magnis .

After the Silesian wars, Dürrkunzendorf came together with the County of Glatz in 1763 with the Hubertusburger Frieden to Prussia .
