Although the village was first documented in 1332, it had been in existence for some time and was governed by German law. The landowner was a knight who also governed the village of Langenau (Cienin). In 1400 it was recorded that the village was owned by Hanosa Nassengnese.

Although there are no records to show how the events listed below affected Paschkerwitz, it may be safely assumed that these conflicts had some impact on the area. The position of the village between the major powers of East and West, has determined the destiny of the local inhabitants up to the present time.

According to Church records, the Black Death passed through Paschkerwitz, and among those who fell victim to the plague were the family and servants of the village pastor.

In 1839, the village had 68 houses, 467 inhabitants, a church, a protestant school, a large estate, a brewery, a distillery, two windmills and an oil press. In a boggy area north of the village, the locals used to dig for peat as a fuel source. For several hundred years agriculture has thrived on the rich soils of the region. At one time there was some sheep farming here.

In the First world War (1914 –1918), many young men from Paschkerwitz lost their lives on the battlefields of Western Europe. Their names were recorded on a cenotaph in front of the church. The Second World War caused more casualties.

When the advancing Soviet Army was invading the eastern part of Silesia, the inhabitants of all towns and villages in the province were ordered to evacuate. On the 20th of January 1945, the people of Paschkerwitz began their long trek.

After the war, Germany lost the Eastern Territories to Poland and Russia. New people, who had lost their homes in Poland and the Ukraine, took over the towns and villages. German people, who returned to their homes after the war, were expelled. They shared this fate with about 10 million other people from the eastern parts of Germany.
