The first documentary mention of the place took place at the same time as Plauen in 1122, when Count Everstein endowed a hoof in the village of Cribsiz with the newly built Johanniskirche . The village was probably much older because the village complex has grown together from a cul-de-sac , a round lane and a square village . By the 16th century at the latest, Chrieschwitz belonged as an official village to the Plauen office , and partly to the Chrieschwitz manor mentioned in 1551 , which the city council bought in 1589.

The rural community of Chrieschwitz of the Plauen administration was incorporated into the city of Plauen in January 1900.

Entrance building of the Chrieschwitz train station

The single- track Gera Süd – Weischlitz (Elstertalbahn) line ran through Chrieschwitz since the late 19th century . From 1910 the construction of the connecting line Lottengrün – Plauen was planned and finally completed in 1923. Coming from the east, the line joins the Elstertalbahn line in front of the Plauen (Vogtl) -Chrieschwitz station, also opened in 1923 , which was expanded to two tracks as far as the lower Plauen station . At the beginning of the 1970s, the connecting line was abandoned and dismantled, the listed Chrieschwitz station was closed in 2006 due to safety deficiencies.

When the housing shortage was met with prefabricated buildings in the 1950s , Chrieschwitz was shaped by them. Two listed four-sided courtyards and the manor with its manor house built in 1884, which is also on the list of cultural monuments in Chrieschwitz , are reminiscent of the earlier village development .
