history

Krosigk was a Slavic foundation in the 7th century. In the 10th century there was a castle complex, which was one of the oldest stone castles in the region and is the ancestral home of the von Krosigk family . From 1451 to 1813, Krosigk Castle and a later manor house were owned by the von Trotha family .

The noble places Krosigk and Kaltenmark belonged to the hall circle of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . With its annexation to Prussia, from 1680 they belonged to the Brandenburg-Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg .

With the Peace of Tilsit , Krosigk and Kaltenmark were incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. They belonged to the canton of Löbejün . After Napoleon's defeat and the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia, Napoleon's allied opponents liberated the Saalkreis in early October 1813. During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Krosigk and Kaltenmark were attached to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816 and assigned to the Saalkreis.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Kaltenmark was incorporated.
