The place was in the 11./12. Founded in the 18th century as a short source row village by Franconia and was first mentioned in 1445 as Aldendorff or Adendorff . The place had a Vorwerk and belonged to the office of Hohnstein from the middle of the 16th century. The manorial rule was exercised by the Prossen manor (today the district of Bad Schandau). The Saxon rural community order of 1838 gave Altendorf the status of a rural community and became independent. Between 1856 and 1875, the Schandau court office was also responsible for the administration of the place; from 1875 these tasks were taken over by the Pirna administration .

In 1900 a 389- hectare forest hoofed field extended around Altendorf . During this time, tourism began to develop in Altendorf and the surrounding area.

Altendorf was parish to Lichtenhain and today belongs to the local parish . After the Second World War , Altendorf became part of the Soviet occupation zone and later the GDR . In the following district reform in 1952 , Altendorf was assigned as an independent municipality to the Sebnitz district in the Dresden district . The independence of the place ended on April 1, 1974 when it was incorporated into Lichtenhain.

After the turnaround and reunification , Altendorf belonged to the Sebnitz district in the Free State of Saxony . In 1994 Lichtenhain, Ottendorf and Saupsdorf merged to form the new municipality of Kirnitzschtal .
