Surname

According to Reinhard E. Fischer , the name is explained from Old Polish , a West Slavic language that was spoken by the first settlers. According to this, the name could be explained as “place where pears grow”. (Compare with Russian pear гру́ша, Polish grusza ). The German colonists, who did not understand the Slavic language, “ put the name under German 'cross' in terms of folk etymology ”, removing the ending '-witz '.

history

Klein Kreutz manor

Klein Kreutz was founded in Slavic times . The first documentary mention was in 1320 as "Crucewitz", in 1329 it was called "Crutzewitz parva". At first the village was owned by the margrave. From 1324 to 1872 it belonged to Neustadt Brandenburg . In the land book of Emperor Charles IV of 1375 the village was mentioned as having 18  hooves , of which the pastor thought 3 hooves for his Wedemhof . On the whole, 18 were  Zählstücke to the city s landlord to pay. The Neustadt Brandenburg had a Vorwerk in 1624 in Klein Kreutz . In 1778 a fire destroyed essential parts of Klein Kreutz. 3 out of 4 full farmers courtyards and 17 of 20 Kossäten were höfen destroyed by fire. During the reconstruction, attention was paid to more space between the homesteads . This is how 5 farms were built on the Backernberg. In 1823 a fire again destroyed large parts, including the Vorwerk, 4 farms and 13 farms, the school and other houses. The Vorwerk was rebuilt north of Klein Kreutz, as were 5 Kossäthöfe.

Until 1950, Klein Kreutz belonged to the Westhavelland district , from 1950 to 1952 to the Brandenburg district. From 1952 to 1993 the village was part of the Brandenburg-Land district . Since 1993 Klein Kreutz has been part of the Brandenburg district again.

Old town Brandenburg used the Marienberg to grow wine. Therefore, the city council of Neustadt Brandenburg also wanted to run a vineyard . For this, the district of Alter Weinberg was created in 1525. 43 vineyards were created on the Hohe Warte ( 63  m ). Since that was not enough, the New Vineyard was added later. Viticulture declined over time, so that grain and fruit were grown from the 19th century. Parts of the old terraces and the fruit trees still exist.

From 1870 three brickworks were built around Klein Kreutz , the last one stopped producing in 1939. There was a windmill near the manor until the 1950s.

On July 1, 1950, Klein Kreutz was incorporated into the city of Brandenburg an der Havel, but the place was regained its independence as a municipality on July 25, 1952 and belonged to the Brandenburg-Land district . On December 6, 1993, Klein Kreutz was again incorporated into Brandenburg an der Havel.
