Friedersdorf is located about six kilometers south of Markersdorf in the Upper Lusatia and, with 13.31 km², is the second largest district of the municipality after Markersdorf. East of the village is the Berzdorfer See. To the west of the village is the Friedersdorfer Berg and the Große Nonnenwald. The district road 8403 runs through the village. The Friedersdorfer Wasser flows through Friedersdorf.
Friedersdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1286. However, it is assumed that the village has existed for a longer time. In a document from 1363, the village is referred to as Friederychsdorf. The forest clearing village of Friedersdorf belonged to the Görlitz district around 1825. In 1895, the size of the local district was 1323 hectares. The village was initially part of the parish of Gersdorf, later there was a separate parish church. In 1947, the village became part of the Weißwasser-Görlitz district and in 1952 of the Görlitz district. Friedersdorf lost its independence in 1994 when it was incorporated into Markersdorf. The Görlitz district was reorganized into the Lower Silesian Upper Lusatia district in 1994, which became the new Görlitz district on August 1, 2008, due to the Saxony district reform of 2008.
