history

The first documentary mention of the hamlet took place in the period from 1181 to 1224. This is where the ancestral home of the von Creutzen family was located . With the sale of the goods of Dietrich von Creutzen to the provost of the Bergerkloster in Altenburg , the place became compulsory to the monastery in 1388. Dietrich von Kreutzen also had his hereditary funeral in the monastery church. The church in Tegkwitz paid interest on the mill in the village of Kreutzen .

Kreutzen later belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which from the 16th century was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies due to several divisions in the course of 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). The neighboring town of Misselwitz was already counted as part of Kreutzen in the 19th century . When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, Kreutzen belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg 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 .

On July 1, 1950, the municipality of Kreutzen was incorporated into Tegkwitz with Misselwitz . During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Kreutzen came as the district of Tegwkitz with the district Altenburg to the district of Leipzig , which since 1990 belonged to the district Altenburg Thuringia and opened in 1994 Altenburger in the district of the country. With the incorporation of the municipality of Tegkwitz into the municipality of Starkenberg, Kreutzen became a district of the municipality of Starkenberg on December 1, 2008. In 2012, 16 residents lived in the place.
