history

The village was first mentioned on September 24, 1140. Kratschütz belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century onwards due to several divisions during its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. The hamlet was incorporated into Göldschen as early as the 19th century . After the administrative reform in the duchy, Kratschütz belonged to the Eastern District (until 1900) and to the Ronneburg District Office (from 1900). From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg .

During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Kratschütz came as part of the municipality of Göldschen with the district of Schmölln to the district of Leipzig ; that had belonged to Thuringia since 1990 as the district of Schmölln and became part of the district of Altenburger Land during the Thuringian district reform in 1994 . On January 1, 1957, the community of Göldschen with Kratschütz was incorporated into Röthenitz , the community of Röthenitz was again incorporated into Altkirchen on August 25, 1961, which in turn was incorporated into the town of Schmölln on January 1, 2019.
