The ensemble ( location ) comprises the city surrounded by a fortification and the immediately adjacent suburban areas on the sandstone spur above the Red Main . In terms of settlement history, Creußen is characterized by the connection between castle and town on a high plateau within a common fortification ring. The place, which was already marked in its settlement form on the occasion of its first mention in 1003, can be counted among the Ottonian state castles, administrative centers of sub-areas that have a mixed form of castle and town. The place was raised to a city in 1358. The walled city has a square plan. The gradually rising street of the suburbs leads to the main gate in the southeast corner. The settlement is grouped around a central square, which widens in a triangular shape. The elongated Habergasse runs parallel to its western long side, which in its overall shape and the free position of the town hall in its center identifies itself as a former street market. In the area of ​​the current rectory there was the lost inner castle. In the east of the city, on a lower terrace, the self-contained church district is attached. Creußen suffered extensive destruction in a fire in 1893, especially in the area of ​​Habergasse, on the market square and the old town hall; it was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. The parceling structure suggests a closed row of townhouses and craftsmen's houses in the gable position before the city fire, an arrangement that has been partially preserved on Rennsteig and Vestgasse. Part of the ensemble are widespread cellars driven into the sandstone. A distinction must be made between multi-storey cellars, usually tied to a parcel, and branched corridor systems that are independent of the above-ground parcel structure. The latter are divided into development and secondary tunnels. Individual tunnels end in ice hollows, and some supports for barrels have been preserved. File number: E-4-72-127-1.

Remarks

1. ↑ This list may not correspond to the current status of the official list of monuments. The latter can be viewed on the Internet as a PDF using the link given under web links and is also mapped in the Bavarian Monument Atlas . Even these representations, although they are updated daily by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , do not always and everywhere reflect the current status. Therefore, the presence or absence of an object in this list or in the Bavarian Monument Atlas does not guarantee that it is currently a registered monument or not. The Bavarian List of Monuments is also an information directory. The property of a monument - and thus the legal protection - is defined in Art. 1 of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act (BayDSchG) and does not depend on the mapping in the Monument Atlas and the entry in the Bavarian Monument List. Objects that are not listed in the Bavarian Monument List can also be monuments if they meet the criteria according to Art. 1 BayDSchG. Early involvement of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation according to Art. 6 BayDSchG is therefore necessary in all projects.
