history

Kroisegg was probably first mentioned in 1388. That year there was a settlement in the area called Rolnyk, which is believed to be in today's Kroisegger area. Rolnyk later fell desperately. Kroisegg was built before 1600, and it was concluded that Rolnyk would be resettled due to the location and similarities of names.

At this time, Kroisegg belonged to the Bernstein rule under the Königsbergers and (from 1644) Ádám Batthyány , who in turn belonged to the Archduchy of Austria under the Enns from 1445 to 1647 . From 1632 Kroisegg belonged to the Pinkafeld parish. From 1659 to 1854 the village was for the most part part of the Pinkafeld rule under members of the Batthyány family . In 1669 the rule was divided. In addition to Pinkafeld and other localities, Paul Batthyány also received Kroisegg and half of Grafenschachen. The other part of Grafenschachen belonged to the Schlaining rule. In 1698 Kroisegg belonged to Franz Batthyány. In 1717 the rule was reunited. However, up to the dissolution of the rule in 1854 there were repeated divisions and pledges. In 1672 the place was in the possession of Georg Sarkany. In 1692 it was mentioned again as part of the Pinkafeld rule. In 1697 the village had 70 inhabitants.

Before 1732 there was probably a collection point for tobacco from the Lafnitztal in Kroisegg, and it is possible that tobacco was also planted in the village itself. The tobacco was probably seduced to Pinkafeld and processed in the manorial tobacco mill there. In 1742 the place had 23 draft animals in 22 households, which is a relatively high number of animals in comparable settlements. In 1751 a stately tavern in Kroisegg is mentioned. In the tavern, the Zehent and Bergrecht wine from the vineyards of Rechnitz, Eisenberg, Markt Neuhodis, Rakicsany, Heiligenbrunn, Güssing, Dürnbach and Muraköz was served all year round. The wine bar brought 230 guilders. Since this yield is very high compared to other gifts, it is assumed that the high turnover was achieved by non-residents, possibly people passing through. In 1758 the church was renovated. The place was able to make a comparatively high contribution to the renovation itself. In 1765 (for the first time?) Five residents were counted in Kroisegg.

In the middle of the 18th century the place experienced an economic boom. The construction of the so-called "Roman Bridge" is possibly connected with this upswing . In 1772 the population decreased to 48 people. The land registers between 1645 and 1783 each show a number of 3½ fiefs. In 1790 Kroisegg became a branch church of the newly established Grafenschachen parish.

The village has been part of the Grafenschachen municipality since 1971 .
