Spitzkunnersdorf was first mentioned in 1347 as a church village under the name Cunarstorf. The first mention of a church in St. Nicholas was in 1372, and a new building was built around 1501.[1] The residents' main occupation was farming and livestock farming. It was only after the Thirty Years' War that Spitzkunnersdorf had a significant number of craftsmen.[2]

Between 1712 and 1716, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Nicholas was built on the site of the old church at the instigation of the feudal lord Otto Ludwig von Kanitz. Today it is a sister church to the Church of the Cross in Seifhennersdorf. Older epitaphs can be found inside. Kanitz did not live to see the completion of the church tower in 1725; he died a year earlier.

Around 1800, the robber captain Johannes Karasek stayed in Spitzkunnersdorf.

Between 1790 and 1805, the districts of Wiesenthal and Neudorf were created on a long stretch of forest land from the demolished Wiesenthal farm.

In the 19th century, Spitzkunnersdorf developed into an industrial community, and the majority of its residents found work in weaving mills. Towards the end of the century, the interior of the church was extensively remodeled.

The first Wiesenthal school (wooden construction, half-timbered) was built as early as 1834. In 1909, construction began on the second Wiesenthal school (stone construction), which was completed in 1910. In the same year, the community received its first electricity supply.

On January 1, 1998, Spitzkunnersdorf was incorporated into Leutersdorf.
