Kraussnitz was first mentioned in 1350 as Crusnicz or Krusnicz . Krußenicz was mentioned in 1406 , later Kruschewitz (1448), Krausenitz (1476) and Krauschnitz (1540) were also in use. Kraussnitz was already administered from Großenhain in the early modern period . In the middle of the 15th century, the place belonged to Grossenhain, at the end of the 17th century to the Grossenhain Office and from 1856 to the Grossenhain Court Office. From 1875 the administration was then incumbent on the administrative authority of Großenhain . In the 14th century a Vorwerk was called. Before Kraussnitz was given independence as a rural community by the Saxon rural community order in 1838, the place was characterized by the feudal system . The history of the Kraußnitz manor goes back to the middle of the 16th century. In 1552 it ruled over 13 possessed men and six residents , among them. In 1764 it was the landlord of 16 gardeners who tilled 3 12 Hufen land.

With the industrialization and the opening of a railway line to Ortrand in 1870 led to a change in the gainful activity of the Kraussnitzer. At the end of the 19th century, many were working in the newly established businesses in the city, no longer exclusively in agriculture. The new job opportunities also led to population growth and new construction activity in the town, especially along Ortrander Strasse. Kraussnitz has an address book from 1888 with 19 entries. The community leader at that time was Gotthilf Kirste.

In 1900, a 260- hectare estate block and mine-like strip of land , on which the inhabitants went about their farming , extended around the alley village of Kraussnitz . Kraussnitz was parish in Großkmehlen (Brandenburg) as early as the 16th century and is now part of the local parish . Saxons came after the Second World War in the Soviet zone of occupation and later the GDR . The historically grown affiliation to Grossenhain was retained even after the territorial reform of 1952 , which Kraussnitz and its neighboring towns assigned to the Grossenhain district in the Dresden district. The rural life of the community was gradually oriented towards the principle of agriculture in the GDR . On January 1, 1960, the neighboring village of Böhla was incorporated into Kraussnitz.

After the German reunification , Kraussnitz came to the re-established Free State of Saxony. Since the community with its 650 inhabitants was too small to remain independent, it merged with Schönfeld on January 1, 1996. Today Kraussnitz is one of the five districts of this community. The regional reforms in Saxony after 1990 assigned Schönfeld to the Riesa-Großenhain district in 1994 and to the Meißen district in 2008 .
