history

The village of Kreitzig was probably created at the beginning of the 14th century, but was only mentioned in a document in 1499. At that time, Elector Joachim I of Brandenburg and Margrave Albrecht Günter von Briesen enfeoffed Kreitzig with three hooves in Schivelbein . During the Seven Years' War the place suffered heavily from the passing Russian troops.

The following are named as landowners: Lieutenant von Briesen (1763) and Lieutenant Colonel von Arnim (1819). In 1830 von Kreitzig's landowner, Carl Freiherr von der Goltz , became district administrator of the Schivelbein district . In 1884 there were three farmers , three Kossäts and four Büdner in the village . In 1925 there were 269 inhabitants, in 1939 there were only 210.

Most of the inhabitants lived from agriculture and forestry. The craft was represented by a blacksmith, carpentry, tailoring and shoemaking shop. The local trade was determined by the merchant Borg and the Krüger chicken farm - not forgetting the distillery that processed potatoes into alcohol.

The last German mayor of Kreitzig was Paul Krüger. The responsible district court was then in Schivelbein .

On March 3, 1945, Red Army troops entered the village. The population was expelled , the place came to Poland and is now part of the Gmina Sławoborze ( rural community Stolzenberg ).

Kreitzig formed an independent office with the communities of Klötzin and Technow . Today, as in the past, the place is in the Schivelbein district, which is now structured differently .
