history

Kreinitz Church

The first traces of settlement in Kreinitz point to settlement by Germanic tribes (the Hermanduren). An excavation carried out in 1953 on a drifting sand dune north of Kreinitz brought to light three vessels from a cremation grave from the 3rd and 4th centuries, which prove the settlement with East Burgundian settlers.

Before 1260 the place paid interest to the monastery Nimbschen near Wurzen. Kreinitz was first mentioned in a document in 1298 when the knight "Hartungus miles de Criniz" appeared as a witness in a deed of donation from the Mühlberg monastery. At the same time, this is evidence of the manor house that existed at the time. The place name was changed several times, so Kreinitz was called in 1298 Hartungus miles de Criniz, 1310 Crinicz, 1346 Crinitz, 1406 Krynicz, Kreynitz 1501 and 1555/56 Kreiniz and 1558 Krentz. It was not until 1818 that the current spelling of the place name Kreinitz prevailed.

The aristocratic family Kreinitz was not in possession of Kreinitz for very long. The last representative was Donat von Crinitz, who was mentioned in 1346. In 1610, a new boat ferry is said to have been purchased. 1611 “The Kreinitz manor was completely ruined and taken away in 1611 when the Elbe river was rising, causing the owner at that time, Mr. Otto Pflug on Strehla and Kreinitz, to damage buildings, cattle, grain and movables 11,000 guilders in one night suffered. ”The new construction of the property took place at a different location, a little closer to Lorenzkirch. In 1679 there lived in the village 38 angeseßner men, among them 8 Anspänner, 2 Halb-Hüfner and 28 Häußler, which were all loanable and interestable to the high-aristocratic court-lord in Kreinitz, Mr. Hannß Siegmund Pflug. According to the inheritance register of 1679, the ferry from Kreinitz was in the possession of the court in Kreinitz and was leased from them for a hereditary interest of 5 guilders and 5 groschen on a certain ¼ Hufengut. The same was still the case in 1818. After all children originally went to school in Lorenzkirch, a village school was built for the first time in 1696. In 1840, Kreinitz consisted of 9 farms with 24 Hufen and 73 houses, the church, 1 stately brewery gift, 1 forge, a windmill, a ship mill and the manor. The manor included a brick factory, a winery that was used for agriculture, a sheep farm and a forester's house and the associated heather houses and the jurisdiction over the Katzschhäuser and part of Fichtenberg. Through the Saxon rural community order of 1838, Kreinitz was given independence as a rural community. From 1696 the place belonged to the Mühlberg office and from 1816 to the Großenhain office. From 1856, Kreinitz was administered by the Strehla court office. From 1875 the village belonged to the Oschatz district administration . On August 1st, 1899, Emil Lamm operated the Elbe ferry in Kreinitz. In 1912 it was recognized that the respective owner of the property entered on page 22 of the land register for Kreinitz was automatically granted the right to operate the ferry between Trebnitz and Kreinitz. The ferry stopped in 1945. The sloop was still used to transport fodder for the animals of the Lamm family who used the Elbe meadows on the banks of the Trebnitz Elbe.

US patrol under Lieutenant Kotzebue on the Elbe between Görzig and Kreinitz

On April 25, 1945 at 1.30 p.m., the American Kotzebue patrol met Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Gordejew for the second time in Kreinitz on the Elbe. The 36-man US patrol under Lieutenant Kotzebue pushed on to Burxdorf to visit the headquarters of the 175th Guards Rifle Regiment of the Red Army. This meeting was recorded as the first meeting on the Soviet side, although there had already been a meeting in Lorenzkirch on the same day, but because of the many bodies on the banks of the Elbe and on the bridge that was blown up by the Wehrmacht. The next day, war photographer Alexander Ustinov recreated photos of the events with the original protagonists. April 25, 1945 is today a day of remembrance of the Second World War, which, as Elbe Day, commemorates the first meeting of American and Soviet troops on German soil. Saxony came to the Soviet occupation zone after the Second World War and later to the GDR. After the territorial reform in 1952, Kreinitz was assigned to the Riesa district in the Dresden district . After reunification and reunification , the village became part of the newly founded Free State of Saxony . Kreinitz assigned the following regional reforms in Saxony in 1994 to the Riesa-Großenhain district and in 2008 to the Meißen district. Kreinitz has been part of the Zeithain community since 1994.
