Crinitz (Lower Sorbian: Krynica) is a municipality in the Elbe-Elster district, in Lower Lusatia, Brandenburg, Germany.

History

From 1815 to 1947, Crinitz was part of the Prussian Province of Brandenburg. From 1952 to 1990, it was part of the Bezirk Cottbus of East Germany. The municipality in its current borders was created on 26 October 2003 by the legally decreed incorporation of the municipality of Gahro into the municipality of Crinitz. ^[3] Both municipalities had been administered by the Kleine Elster (Niederlausitz) office (until 1995 Amt Kleine Elster) since 1992.
