The Friedrichsthal settlement was built in the first half of the 18th century. In 1755 24 families lived in the village, 17 of them came from the area, two from Saxony and one from Austria and four families were Hussites. The village of Kreuzburgerhütte (older spelling: Creutzburgerhütte or Creuzburgerhütte), named after the city of Kreuzburg, was originally located north of Friedrichsthal . Today, Kreuzburgerhütte is part of the town of Friedrichsthal.

In 1769 the Creutzburger Hütte founded a miners' school as a so-called simultaneous school. H. Protestant and Catholic pupils were taught together by the employed teacher of the state hut. The school was subordinate to the Protestant pastor von Carlsruhe.

In 1819 the school supervision was passed from the pastor in Carlsruh to the pastor from Kupper. The Protestant school moves into a new, permanent house; From now on, the classroom will also serve as a church room, will have a pulpit altar and an organ. In 1845 a church building with a tower and bells was added, which was built in the Frederician style similar to the one in Malapane. It stood until January 21, 1945.
