Monument to the fallen in Krimnitz

In a sales deed from 1315, Krimnitz was first mentioned as Crimitz . In this document, Bodo the elder of Ilenburg Ritter Christian, known as Lange, sold the rule of Lübbenau . The old Sorbian basic form of the name may have been Kremenica , derived from the word for pebble , today Lower Sorbian kśemjeń . Around 1395 the place was mentioned as Crymicz , 1541 as Krymnitzsch and 1573 as Crimnitz . The name of the Lower Sorbian place was mentioned in 1761 as Kschimize and in 1843 as Kśimice .

As a result of the Congress of Vienna , Krimnitz came with the entire Lower Lusatia to the Kingdom of Prussia and belonged to the district of Calau . With the Brandenburg district reform in 1950, Krimnitz and other communities left the Calau district, which was converted into the Senftenberg district, and was incorporated into the Lübben (Spreewald) district.
