history

The village was first mentioned in 1071 as Crozne (possibly derived from Slav. "Krosn": loom, fishing net). In the 13th century people lived from fishing, agriculture and linen weaving. In 1660, six estates cultivated the village's land. In 1985, the castle of the noble family von Eichenberg, who had previously resided in the area, was demolished because it was in disrepair.

From 1991 to 2002 the place belonged to the administrative community Uhlstädt . With the dissolution of this on July 1, 2002, the merger with ten other communities took place to form the new unified community Uhlstädt-Kirchhasel.

The village has 280 inhabitants.

Attractions

The Petruskirche dates from 1408. Here is also the bell of the former church of the deserted Töpfersdorf. The Töpfersdorf ruin on the Heide is a popular excursion destination.
