Crandorf was first documented in 1380 as a farm at Crandorff . The place must have died in the following period, because Crandorf is not mentioned in the Tettau mortgage lending document of 1464. Crandorf was not yet rebuilt in 1517, because in a letter to the elector, Blasius Flemigk, whose father had bought the hammer mill in Erla in 1517 , wrote: The village of Crondorf [...] was not built then when our father bought his hammer mill ( Main State Archives Dresden , Coll. Schmidt VI. No. 43/93). It was not until 1533 that the first residents seem to have settled again, because Crandorf appears in the historical sources as a new village . Two years earlier, 13 farmers were named in the village who cultivate goods of various sizes. For the (new) founding of Crandorf, this information means that it must have taken place between 1517 and 1531. Over time, the population grew only slowly at first. In the last year of independence, 1165 people lived in Crandorf. Today the population is about 880. The single-nave church , closed with a wooden ceiling, was built in 1711/12. Its interior is described as "full of light" in the Saxony church gallery , published in 1845 . In 1864 the roof turret was replaced by a brick tower.

Crandorf was incorporated into Erla in 1925. Erla and Crandorf have been part of the town of Schwarzenberg since January 1, 1999.
