The first written mention of Dolní Podluží is from 1485, as a village named Grunt. The village was later divided into two parts, Dolní and Horní Grunt ("Lower Grunt" and "Upper Grunt"; today Horní Podluží). Dolní Grunt is first mentioned in 1566. Between 1681 and 1850, it was a property of the Liechtenstein family as a part of the Rumburk estate.[2]
In 1947, the municipality was renamed from Dolní Grunt to its current name.[3]
Dolní Podluží is located on the railway line Děčín–Varnsdorf.[6]
The most valuable building of Dolní Podluží is the Church of Saint Catherine. The first church was in Dolní Podluží already in the 14th century, and in 1411 it was replaced by a new wooden building. The current brick church was built in the Renaissance style in 1548. In 1720–1734 and in the 19th century, it underwent significant reconstructions and acquired a Baroque character.[7]
